Stampin’ Up! Polished Stone Dashing Deer Swap!

Stampin’ Up! Polished Stone Dashing Deer Swap!

Hey there! I arrived home late last night, so this morning I'm posting this absolutely gorgeous card I received in a swap by Tandra Boyer. Tandra combined the Dashing Deer Bundle with the Polished Stone technique and a greeting from the Warm Hearted Holiday Catalog Host Set to create this beauty!

Stampin_up_polished_dashing_deer_carolpaynestamps1

Tandra used Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue, and Mint Macaron reinkers with rubbing alcohol and cotton balls to dab the colors on a layer of Glossy White card stock. After the colors blended, she added dabs of Wink of Stella to finish the "polished" look! She cut a layer of Shimmery White card stock with a Detailed Deer Thinlet to allow the beautiful polished stone to peek through! She also added Iridescent Sequins using liquid glue for a bit of sparkle. I have a class for a monthly group in Marion scheduled for this Friday and we will be making this card! I think they will like it1

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 11th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 11th!

Hey there! Today we're on the last leg of our trip home from the Stampin' Up! OnStage 30th Anniversary Event in Orlando, FL. Today is also my 16th Anniversary as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!

The Christmas swaps I'm sharing today were all created with the Winter Woods Bundle!

First, a Winter WoodsBundle/Woodland Textured Impressions creation with the Black Ice technique by Angela Waters:

Stampin_up_winter_woods_black_ice_carolpaynestamps1

 The 3/8" Basic Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon is the perfect finishing touch!

Stampin_up_winter_woods_black_ice_carolpaynestamps2

 Next, Karen Kurz colored Shimmery Embossing Paste with Tranquil Tide and "maybe" Night of Navy reinkers to create a sparkly background for her cut-out Winter Woods trees!

Stampin_up_winter_woods_carolpaynestamps1

 The greeting is from the Annual Catalog set, Star of Light.

 Finally, Ruth Ann Lilley stamped on the "negative" side of the Woodland Textured Impressions embossing folder with the Winter Woods tree before running through the Big Shot. The tree is "decorated" with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter sprinkled onto sponged Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

 Very prettily sparkled!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Swaps from Orlando OnStage!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Swaps from Orlando OnStage!

Hey there! Today is the final day of the Stampin' Up! OnStage 30th Anniversary Event. I am excited to see what Stampin' Up! has in store for us today! After it ends this evening, we will be driving up to Atlanta to get about half of the drive out of the way.

Swapping is always a fun thing to do at OnStage, and today I'm sharing some swaps my team received. Today's swaps are Christmas themed!

First, a card created with the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper and Farmhouse Christmas stamps!

Stampin_up_labels_to_love_carolpaynestamps1-1

Peaceful Noel stamps and Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper were combined with Copper Foil Sheets and the Sprig Punch for this lovely card. Unfortunately, the Joyous Noel Specialty Paper is already completely sold out!

Stampin_up_peaceful_noel_carolpaynestamps1

Merry Christmas Thinlets Dies were used to cut the greeting that was then combined with the rest of the greeting from Peaceful Poinsettia.

Winter Woods and Merry Christmas to All were combined to create this easy card:

Stampin’ Up! Nothing Sweeter with Festive Farmhouse!

Stampin’ Up! Nothing Sweeter with Festive Farmhouse!

Hey there! I have ideas for more Nothing Sweeter creations, but ran out of time before we left for Orlando to attend the Stampin' Up! 30th Anniversary OnStage event. Today is the middle day of OnStage and I'm seeing so much fun new stuff that will be in the Spring Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalogs! I'm taking lots of pictures, so be ready to see some fun new things soon!

Today's card continues the "homespun" look with Crumb Cake, Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, and the Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. After I embossed the layer wtih the folder I rubbed my Crumb Cake ink pad directly over the raised ridges. 

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_trees_carolpaynestamps1

 After I stamped the tree in stamped-off Mossy Meadow and then stamped the outline in full-strength Mossy Meadow, I cut it out with the two pieces of the tree die from the Sweetly Stitched Framelits. It really looks stitched! The star is another Nothing Sweeter image stamped with Crushed Curry and  cut with a Sweetly Stitched Framelit

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_trees_carolpaynestamps2

 I found the perfect greeting in the Christmas Traditions Punch Box! There are 6 stamps, a coordinating punch, two Stampin' Spots, and a clear stamping block, all in a gorgeous Real Red and silver tin! I stamped the greeting first with Mossy Meadow on Very Vanilla, punched with the Christmas Traditions Punch, then stamped again with Cherry Cobbler on a scrap of Very Vanilla. I hand-cut "Christmas" with Paper Snips to layer over the middle of the greeting. I rubbed the edges of the greeting directly on my Crumb Cake inkpad. No sparkles or bling were needed on this one!

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_trees_carolpaynestamps3

 I kept the inside simple:

Stampin’ Up! Nothing Sweeter With Buffalo Check!

Stampin’ Up! Nothing Sweeter With Buffalo Check!

Hey there! Today is the first full day of the Stampin' Up! OnStage 30th Anniversary Celebration in Orlando Florida! Last night I attended "CentreStage" for demonstrators at the Silver Elite title and above at Disney's Epcot. Pictures will be coming soon!

Today I'm sharing another card inspired by the Nothing Sweeter "Shop By Occasion"  feature in my online store!

I changed the colors from the original posted HERE.

For a homespun look, I used a Crumb Cake, Real Red, Call Me Clover, and Very Vanilla. I stamped a 2" x 4 1/4" Real Red strip with Buffalo Check and black ink.  I love Buffalo Check! In case it retires on January 1st, be sure to order soon!

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_plaid_carolpaynestamps1

 I cut the Call Me Clover tree with two tree dies from Sweetly Stitched Framelits. I stamped the lights with Call Me Clover and colored the Pearls with a Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend Marker. The snowflake was cut with a Sweetly Stitched Framelit too!

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_plaid_carolpaynestamps2

 I stamped a Real Red greeting, then added the "rick-rack" stitching with a Sweetly Stitched Framelit.

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_plaid_carolpaynestamps3

 I tried the greeting in Call Me Clover. Which color do you prefer?

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_plaid_carolpaynestamps4

 Crumb Cake colored pearls!

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_plaid_carolpaynestamps6

Nothing Sweeter is clear photopolymer so you can stamp accurately. I stamped sentiment first, then the heart. The Very Vanilla layer is 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", and the Real Red mat layer is 3 5/8" x  4 7/8". I love this size for my inside layers because it zeroes in on the sentiment without lots of empty space. It's easier for me to decide how I want to stamp it!
