Stampin’ Up! Nothing Sweeter Shop By Project CASE!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! As I am blogging this we are winging our way toward Orlando to attend the Stampin' Up! 30th Anniversary OnStage event! I'm so glad I decided to get a hotspot for my phone!

A new feature in my online store is "Shop By Project"!  Currently a test feature for now, if successful it could become permanent. I browsed the projects and found a cute card created with the Nothing Sweeter bundle from the Holiday Catalog. I was inspired to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it, then created a few more that I'll share soon. The "Shop By Project" cards don't have instructions, but do list the supplies used so you can purchase the ones you don't already have.

Although this card does require a Big Shot, it's pretty AND pretty simple!

Pool Party, Call Me Clover, Real Red, and Whisper White is a fresh, wintry color combo!

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_carolpaynestamps2

The  Nothing Sweeter stamps are bundled with the Sweetly Stitched Framelits dies. I used two dies to cut and "stitch" the tree and the snowflake. After I stamped the lights on the tree, I added rhinestones for sparkle.

Stampin_up_nothing_sweeter_carolpaynestamps3

After stamping the greeting from Nothing Sweeter with Real Red ink I used another Sweetly Stitched die to add the scalloped "stitching". The extra mini-scallops were created by punching a white scrap with the Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and then using my Paper Snips to trim off the scallop strip. I adhered with tiny dots of liquid glue.

Stampin Up! Sunday Swap Day November 4th!

Stampin Up! Sunday Swap Day November 4th!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the first Sunday Swap Day of November! I'm leaving for the Stampin' Up! 30th Anniversary OnStage Event in Orlando, Florida in less than two days! I still have packing and swap creation to do! Eeeek! It's a long car ride( 6 of us in my team member's van, plus 3 flying), so I plan to finish them on the way. Tomorrow is a Darcy day, but this is doable!

A big reason I swap every month is because I love sharing swaps with you! Today's are with Limited-Edition Snow is Glistening stamps and Snowfall Thinlets. Have you ordered yours yet? They're only while-supplies-last, so don't wait!

First, Susan Legits used an AquaPainter to add bold strokes of Bermuda Bay and Blueberry Bushel to Watercolor Paper to create a background for the Snowfall Thinlets snowflakes.

Stampin_up_snow_is_glistening_carolpaynestamps1

 She adhered the snowflake to the watercolor background with a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet applied to the card stock BEFORE cutting with the Snowfall Thinlet.

Stampin_up_snow_is_glistening_carolpaynestamps2

 Next,  an anonymous stamper used the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to emboss wax paper to create the Wax Paper Resist technique on the Bermuda Bay background. She also added a Limited-Edition Snowflake Trinket to the center.

Stampin_up_snow_is_glistening_carolpaynestamps4

 Just lovely!

Stampin_up_snow_is_glistening_carolpaynestamps5

 Finally, Susie Wood used a new technique, Frosted Clear Block, with Prussian Blue Brusho Crystal Colour to create this gorgeous background!

Stampin_up_snow_is_glistening_carolpaynestamps7

 I can't wait to try this one!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas to All Glass Block!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas to All Glass Block!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Welcome to November!  I had to step into Hobby Lobby yesterday, and even though I only needed "just one thing", I walked out $95 poorer! lol!

I'm preparing for a craft fair this weekend, so I'm on the lookout for nifty ideas. I ran across bare glass blocks made to put Christmas lights in and was inspired to go home and create! I used Joyous Noel 6"x 6" Glimmer Paper and Big Shot dies from three different sets in the Holiday Catalog to create this:

Stampin_up_merry_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

I cut Joyous Noel 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper with Merry Christmas Thinlet dies. I adhered a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet to the back of the paper for easy attachment to the embossed Vellum. I attached the vellum to the block with glue dots after I  embossed with the Scattered Sequins Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It's hard to tell from the picture, but "Merry" is cut from Copper and "Christmas" is cut from Merry Merlot Glimmer Paper!

Stampin_up_merry_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

I cut the tree from Tranquil Tide Glimmer with an In The Woods Framelits Die. This die cuts both the outline  and the branches so they can be "fluffed" out for dimension.

Stampin_up_merry_christmas_carolpaynestamps5

I cut the white tree from Sparkle Glimmer Paper with another In The Woods Framelits Die, and the Soft Suede deer with a Detailed Deer Thinlet. After I cut out the deer I embossed them with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder.

Stampin_up_merry_christmas_carolpaynestamps6

With the block standing up and the lights turned on in the dark:

Stampin_up_merry_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

Laying down:

Stampin_up_merry_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I created another version with the Merry Christmas Thinlets and Detailed Deer Dies. I embossed the vellum with the Woodland Textured Impressions folder.

Stampin’ Up! Spirited Snowmen Snow Couple!

Stampin’ Up! Spirited Snowmen Snow Couple!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! The only image from the Spirited Snowmen set I hadn't used yet was the sweet snow couple, so I created another ornament with the Faux Diamond Dust technique just for them!

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps2

I started by stamping, cutting, and coloring all of my pieces as shown below. I stamped the snow couple with Memento Tuxedo Black in before coloring with my Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. I then cut the snow couple out with Paper Snips.

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps5

I cut the dark blue background from a print from the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper pack. I adhered a piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet, removed the backing to expose the stickiness, then adhered the snow couple  and the Classic Label-punched sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps1

After I sprinkled the stickiness with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Paper twinkled even more!

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps3

The "love never melts" sentiment fit perfectly in the Classic Label!
