Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday Again!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday Again!

Hey there! I'm back and ready to jump back into the blogging routine! I've just finished a couple of really hectic (but fun!) couple of weeks, so I'm hoping to slow things down a bit this week and get some pretty things made for a craft fair this next Saturday. On second thought, that doesn't sound like a prescription for "slowing things down" does it?!

Today I want to share with you a collection of fun cards and gift card holders created with the Cup of Christmas Bundle of stamps and dies! This set is unique because it has "reversible" stamps. The striped and polka-dot mugs are just one stamp. You stamp with it once, clean it, turn it over, then stamp with the other side of the stamp! Pretty neat!

Stampin’ Up! Greatest Part of Christmas!

Stampin’ Up! Greatest Part of Christmas!

Hey there! I've been stamping a lot this week, so I have a little pile of fun things to share with you over the next few days! Today I want to share with you a card I created with a Holiday Catalog Host Set, Greatest Part of Christmas.

Host Sets are only available to stampers with orders of at least $150, either their own or a collection of orders from friends, direct with me or in my online store. Host Rewards start at 10% with a $150 order, so you have $15+ to spend on catalog merchandise, depending on the merchandise total.   You can't get your hands on Host Sets any other way! (You can apply Host Rewards to the Demonstrator Starter Kit: $125 worth of products for $99 with free shipping)

I used the largest, boldest image from Greatest Part of Christmas to stamp the background with Mossy Meadow ink on a white layer. I used traditional Christmas colors of Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White, and gold. I cut a thin Gold Foil frame with two Stitched Rectangle dies.

Stampin_up_greatest_part_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the same sentiment with Cherry Cobbler ink, then hand-trimmed. I layered onto Cherry Cobbler, hand-trimming again. I added 1/4" Gold Shimmer Ribbon and Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (available on November 1) to accent.

Stampin_up_greatest_part_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps2
I also used the other Holiday Catalog Host set, Holiday Haul, to add the adorable little Christmas tree to the bottom of the inside layer and the envelope.

Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Wreath Ornament!

Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Wreath Ornament!

Hey there! Today I have another Toile Christmas/All Around Wreath ornament to share with you today. It is very similar to my Christmas Cardinal wreath I posted a few days ago HERE.

For this wreath ornament I wanted to use this sweet banner greeting. I stamped it with Real Red ink on white card stock, then cut it with the coordinating Christmas Cardinal die. I sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink for a vintage look. I also sponged the edges of the Garden Green wreath, which I cut with the All-Around Wreath die.

Stampin_up_toile_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I put the Champagne Foil wreath together with the Garden Green wreath with snippets of stampin' dimensionals, then added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels with a Take Your Pick Tool.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! Today I have a bunch of fun swaps to share with you, all created with the Snowman Season Stamp set and the Let It Snow Suite!

First, a super-simple creation by Mary Knabe:

Stampin_up_snowman_season_carolpaynestamps1-1

Mary tied a simple knot/bow with Real Red 1" Ruched Ribbon:

Stampin_up_snowman_season_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Kathy Schaffer used the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit to add the muffler to the snowman's neck!

Stampin_up_snowman_season_carolpaynestamps3

I love the font of this Merry Christmas greeting!

Stampin_up_snowman_season_carolpaynestamps4

Janet Holmes created a z-fold for her swap.

Stampin_up_snowman_season_carolpaynestamps5

She used Cherry Cobbler 3/8" Diagonal Stripe Ribbon to add a fresh candy-cane look!

Stampin_up_snowman_season_carolpaynestamps6

The open z-fold:

Stampin_up_snowman_season_carolpaynestamps7

Bernice Hallack used Shaded Spruce for the card base of her fun card:

She used Snowfall Accents Puff Paint to add accent to the snow:

Stampin_up_snowman_season_carolpaynestamps9

She also added a bow of Real Red 1/8" Curly Ribbon. Soooo cute!

Stampin’ Up! Playful Penguins Gift Card Holder!

Stampin’ Up! Playful Penguins Gift Card Holder!

Hey there! As promised, today I'm sharing the second gift card holder I created with the "Twisted Gate Fold". The one I shared with you yesterday will not fit in a medium 4 3/8" x 5 3/4" envelope, but this one today will!

I used Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper again, along with the Playful Penguins stamp set for this smaller version:

Stampin_up_playful_penguins_carolpaynestamps1

How adorably cute is this little fellow?!!!

Stampin_up_playful_penguins_carolpaynestamps2

After heat-embossing the greeting with white powder on Real Red, it fit perfectly inside the Classic Label Punch! I accented it with a few Snowflake Sequins.

Stampin_up_playful_penguins_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I used the "to: from:" again from Snowman Season, as well as the snowflakes stamped with Pool Party ink.

Stampin_up_playful_penguins_carolpaynestamps4

I accented the snowflakes with a few more Snowflake Seasons.
