Stampin’ Up! Washi Tape is Wonderful!

Posted on March 6, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Typepad (my blogging platform) was down last night, so I was unable to get my blog post up before I went to bed. I have a bunch of fun cards for you today using washi tape, so let's get started!

My first sample for you I CASED from Rachel Tessman of Canada. Retro Fresh Washi tape was laid on the card front in a radiating pattern that gives it an all-over look of designer paper. Washi tape is a low-tack tape, so if you haven't pressed it down onto the cardstock you can lift and re-position a little without tearing the paper. The little stamped stars are from the Sale-a-bration Banner Blast set in Tangerine Tango, So Saffron, and Coastal Cabana ink. The greeting is from You're Amazing, and rhinestones were added for a little sparkle.

The inside is quick and easy too, using a greeting from Delightful Dozen:

I stepped-up this next card for a workshop Make-n-take by adding a card base of Tangerine Tango and a few gold sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim. You can use Glue Dots or Tombow Glue to attach the sequins.

Stampers at the workshop will have their choice from the Delightful Dozen greeting or this one from "Yippee-Skippee!" They will also line their envelope with a bit of Retro Fresh Designer Paper and an Envelope Liner Framelit.

For a more masculine look, I used the same layout but switched to Epic Day This and That Washi Tape and a greeting from Countless Sayings 2 photopolymer. Card base is Basic Gray and inks are Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, and Crumb Cake.

Delightful Dozen on the inside again and I added some more washi tape to keep the continuity going:

I love that we have more than a couple of washi tapes to choose from! Three rolls in each package with 5 yards per roll for only $4.95!

I used Gingham Garden Washi tape for my feminine sample. Daffodil Delight card base, then the little flower from the Banner Blast stamp set stamped in Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Island Indigo.

Up close you can see the detail of the scalloped paper-piercing. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack as my guide. Just a little bit of piercing adds such a fun detail! Greeting from You're Amazing again.

Inside is another greeting from the You're Amazing stamp set.

As you can see from these samples, it doesn't require a lot of supplies to create multiple looks with one layout. A limited supply challenge can be fun!

That's all for now. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Hello, Sailor!

Posted on January 24, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! So far I haven't gotten Mark's bug, so keep your fingers crossed for me that I don't, ok? Mark took me to a really good Phillips, Craig & Dean concert at the Marion Civic Center on Friday night. I was really grateful to not be sick and have to miss it!

Thursday night I stamped with a fun group of women at Theresa McGhee's house in Weast Frankfort, IL. She had hot chocolate, hot apple cider, hot coffee, and a array of yummies for us to snack on while we stamped. Theresa requested masculine cards, so I created this one for her group using the new Occasions Catalog set, Hello, Sailor!

We used the Circle Card Thinlet Die, You're Amazing stamp set for the greeting on this side of the "flip", High Tide Designer Paper (also from the Occasions Catalog), Smoky Slate cardstock and ink, Midnight Muse cardstock and ink, and Silver Glimmer Paper-punched stars! The Smoky Slate stamped anchors are also from Hello, Sailor.

Here's the "flip" side, stamped with "you're my best mate" from Hello, Sailor.

In case you didn't know, here's how to cut out the curve on the striped section of designer paper:

The dimensions for the designer paper is 1 3/4" x 5 1/4". Place the paper inside the frame section of the thinlet card die as shown. You will need to "eyeball" the eveness of all sides till it suits you. Then crank through the Big Shot. Your piece will then be ready to apply to your card section!

That's all for now. Today I have a Stamp Camp for Cindy Lisk at her house in Nashville, IL. Yay!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Basics Balloons!

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hello there! Late posting today. I'm at Jessica's house getting ready to take Ava, Cohen, and Jaxon back to my house for the day. Jessica has photo sessions all day, so I am taking them to my house to play with Liam! (Liam is at my house with Logan, Ben, & PaPa right now)

Today's card is another from my SWOW class this Saturday. As you know, I LOVE punch art, so when I found this punch art balloon several places on the net, I just had to design a card using them!

I heat embossed the "Happy Birthday" from You're Amazing with white powder, then dry embossed the Bermuda Bay layer with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and the Big Shot.

The balloons were created with an Medium Oval punched piece of cardstock with one of the feet from the Owl Builder punch attached to the bottom! Pretty neat!

Island Indigo Baker's Twine was attached to the back of each balloon with a Glue Dot. After attaching the balloons to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals, I gathered the twine together and attached them to the card front with another dimensional. I then hid all the mess with a strip of Birthday Basics Designer Paper, which is where I found the color palette for this card!

Inside I stamped one of the phrases from the new Remembering Your Birthday, omitting the words I needed to with Stampin' Write Markers and positioning the {YOU!} where I wanted it with my Stamp-a-ma-jig.

I sponged each of the Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, and Soft Sky
balloons with the corresponding ink color, sponging more ink onto the
left side of each balloon to give it some depth, then used the new Chalk Marker from the Holiday Catalog on the right side to give the look of light and reflection!

That's all for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Posted on April 16, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Today is a Liam day, so I will be out the door here in a few. Just wanted to show you the final two cards from my Flower Fair Simply Scrappin' Kit Card Class this past weekend!

Note: Products used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless otherwise noted

With this card I used the "triple-time" technique, but instead of stamping, I used the designer paper in the Kit!

Card
layer: 4 ¼” x 11, scored at 5 ½”

First
layer of Designer Paper: 4” x 5 ¼”

Second
layer of cardstock: 4 ¼” x 3 ½”

Beautiful Birthday with some Bitty Butterflies, Basic Jewel Rhinestones, and a 7/8" Scallop Circle Flower the inside says it all for this card!

For my final class card I combined my favorite "happy birthday" greeting EVER from You're Amazing with the Blossom Punch and a few of the self-adhesive die-cuts in the kit. After stamping the greeting and punching with the punch I then embossed the Whisper White layer with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder.

That's all for now! I'm off to Liam's! Yay!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Print Poetry Birthday Set #1!

Posted on April 10, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I'm so happy you have stopped in to see me today!

A few days ago I showed you this card HERE using the Fan Fair Designer Paper and a Riding Hood Red card base. I liked that card so much, I decided to try out the Print Poetry Paper Stack with the same layout!

I made a few sets of cards with this layout, so today I'm going to show you the first of three sets:

This one is more "shabby chic":

And the inside of one:

The greeting is from You're Amazing, the inside verse is from One in a Million, and the flourish is from Established Elegance!

Colors used: Midnight Muse & Soft Suede ink & markers, Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla cardstock. Note: I dragged the Midnight Muse inkpad against the edges of the layers to smudge the ink on instead of sponging.

Accessories: Midnight Muse 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, Paper Snips, In-Color Dahlias, Glue Dots

That's all for today! I hope you come back tomorrow to see the next set!
