Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Noel!

Posted on December 18, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The card I'm sharing with you today was also created for my class last Friday night. I really hadn't given the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper or the Peaceful Noel stamp set enough love, so I decided to make another card with another print from the pack and use the elegant "Noel" to go with it!

The Frosted Floral Specialty print I chose reminds me of ivy/mistletoe, so I used a 4" x 5 1/4" piece on the Tranquil Tide card front. I added a piece of retiring Tranquil Tide 1/4" Velvet Ribbon with a bit of SNAIL adhesive, then added a Tranquil Tide layer cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit.

I stamped "Noel" from Peaceful Noel (retiring) with Tranquil Tide on a white layer, then added pine needles with stamped-off Tranquil Tide. The little leaves directly under the greeting was stamped with Soft Seafoam. I cut it all out with a brand-new framelit from the Rose Trellis Thinlets, available on January 3rd from the Occasions Catalog. Three pearls are the finishing touch.

Inside I used a phrase from the retiring "His Light" set, and more Peaceful Noel foliage. I covered the envelope flap with a coordinating piece of the same Frosted Floral Specialty.

Here's your shopping list for today's project:

Peaceful Noel Photopolymer Bundle [149958]	Frosted Floral 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper [147800]	Tranquil Tide 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [144246]

Stampin’ Up! Making Every Day Bright!

Posted on December 17, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Last Friday I held my final stamp camp of the Christmas season at Donna's house. I will resume my classes on January 1st, but I still have a few Christmas cards to share before I get serious about sharing Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalog Sneak Peeks!

Today's share is a Christmas card I created for Donna's class with the Making Every Day Bright stamp set and Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper, both of which are on the retiring-while-supplies-last list. I needed a quick-and-cute card and this little penguin was perfect! The pearlized shine of the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Paper helped provide a cold and wintry look!

I stamped three little pennies with Tuxedo Black ink on a white scrap, then punched with the Christmas Bulb punch. I colored their stocking caps with a Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends Marker (available January 3rd), then added a little bit of Clear Wink of Stella for cold wintry shine.

I stamped "Bright", from the not-retiring Making Christmas Bright, with black ink, then surrounded it with Balmy Blue snowflakes from the Making Every Day Bright set. I stamped each snowflake twice before re-inking to get the two shades of Balmy Blue, and added a dot of Wink of Stella to each. You don't have to use a lot of different embellishment if you have a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush! I punched the greeting with the Pretty Label Punch, then cut a Balmy Blue one with my scissors to adhere behind it.

Inside I used another Making Christmas Bright sentiment and more Balmy Blue snowflakes:

Seems like there should be a song about these little guys, doesn't it?

Today's shopping list:

Making Christmas Bright Photopolymer Bundle [149947]	Making Every Day Bright Photopolymer Stamp Set [148813]	Frosted Floral 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper [147800]
Balmy Blue 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146982]	Starburst Punch [143717]	1-3/4" Circle Punch [119850]
Pretty Label Punch [143715]	Paper Snips Scissors [103579]	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad [132708]

Stampin’ Up! Snowmen Families!

Posted on December 11, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you a couple of my favorite Christmas decorations. Both sets of these were created by my daughter, Alisa, and hold places of honor in our home every Christmas!

First, this glass jar snowmen family has been growing little by little ever since Alisa was in grade school. A room mother showed the 6th grade class how to make these with a glass jar, a tube sock, stuffing, and bits of fabric. Alisa started making these to represent each member of our family; as siblings marry and babies are born she creates another snowman to add to the family. Some of the snowmen have "grown"; as the tiniest snowmen grow they will be replaced with a slightly larger version of themselves. We've even had "babes-in-arms" snowbabies!

I added a special shelf this year to display this tiny snowmen family, also created by Alisa. With 7 grandchildren under the age of 7, the only way these little guys, formed with Sculpy Clay and baked in the oven, have a chance of survival is if they are kept out of reach! lol!

First, Mark & I:

Then Jessica's family: Johnny, Jessica, Maddie Kate, Ava, Cohen, and Jaxon:

Kimberly's group: Tony, Kimberly, Liam, and Darcy:

Alisa's bunch: Cody, Alisa, Oakley, Lando, & Ivory (baby Cyndal's snowbaby will be added by Christmas Day!)

"The boys": Troy, Logan, and Ben. (Grace will be added with Troy next Christmas!)

Considering how tiny these are (the tallest is only 1 1/2 inches high), the attention to detail is amazing!

Cohen's "newsboy" hat:

Ben's long stocking cap:

Darcy's pink peppermint stripes!

This little family will keep growing as we do! I love it!

Stampin’ Up! November Paper Pumpkin!

Posted on December 10, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Saturday I Christmas Shopped ALL DAY with my girls and got lots of names checked off my list. We walked and walked and walked all over the mall and made multiple trips out to the van to store our packages. My feet were cramping just a bit before we headed home, and buddy, I was tired yesterday! I have lots of things on the plate for today, but I just want to jump on here this morning and share a quick post with you about Paper Pumpkin!

As you may be aware, Paper Pumpkin is Stampin' Up!'s monthly crafting subscription box, and membership has EXPLODED in the past few years, so much that the December box was SOLD OUT before the November box shipped! Today would normally be the last day to subscribe to the December box, but no new subscriptions are being taken this month. I'm sure Stampin' Up! will increase their kit count for January, so you will be able to subscribe to the January box (each box contents is a surprise!) so for today I want to share with you the gorgeousness of the November Kit!

Instead of the normal red monthly box, Stampin' Up! dressed up the November box for Christmas!

This was my first glimpse of the November box!

The kit contained all of the supplies to make 10 absolutely beautiful Christmas cards!

Each kit contains an exclusive stamp set and a Stampin' Spot of ink (some kits contain two spots),

Here's one design:

The pine branches were laser-cut and ready to add to the card with glue dots. The Cherry Cobbler Linen Trim and self-adhesive gold sequins were included in the kit:

The second kit design featured placing the laser-cut branches in a wreath!

The banners were ready for stamping! It was quick and easy to put these ten cards together!

The stamp set included this fun inside sentiment, and the pine frond, which I stamped in my own Garden Green ink.

The included envelopes were already lined:

I used another sentiment from the kit on the flap:

Give Paper Pumpkin a try! Subscriptions for the January kit start tomorrow, December 11!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day December 9th!

Posted on December 9, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday and time for Sunday Swap Day! Yay!

Today's swaps are all from the Stampin' Up! OnStage in Orlando last month.

First a pretty snowy adaptation of the dancing girl from Beautiful You! Did you ever think Mrs. Clause was ever this young and thin? Me either, but just like the rest of us, she was!

ETA: Jennie Portonova is the creator of this card.

After a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend Marker colored her dress, the background was embossed the the Softly Falling Textured Impressions folder. The finishing touch is the white embossing paste added to create the fur trim! The greeting is from the retiring Holiday Catalog set, Making Christmas Bright.

The creator of this lovely card heat embossed the greeting from Merry Christmas to All with white powder on the Basic Black Stitched Label for a "chalkboard" look. The pinecones were cut with a Pretty Pines Thinlet and held together with a bow of 1/4" Copper Trim.

The Winter Woods Bundle was used to create this lovely gem. The tree is accented with Shimmery White Embossing Paste and Red Rhinestones add extra sparkle. The greeting is from Star of Light. Winter Woods stamps and Into the Woods Thinlets are not retiring, but the bundle of both together is!

Finally, a quick card using carrying-over Wishing You Well with retiring Festive Farmhouse Designer Paper.
