Stampin’ Up! Mistletoe Season for July Creative Class!

Stampin’ Up! Mistletoe Season for July Creative Class!

Hey there! I have a new grandbaby due in the middle of July, so I'm already planning my July Creative Class: Christmas in July! The card uses new Mistletoe Season and Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper:

Stampin_up_mistletoe_season_carolpaynestamps1

I used a Gold Library Clip at the top of the "tag", which are part of the Under the Mistletoe Suite. Yes, the clip would be hard to mail, unless you were shipping a boxed gift along with it, but there are many other uses for these shiny gold clips! Closing treat bags and boxes, on a magnet for the fridge; I'm sure we can think of more!

I love, love, love this plaid designer paper!

Stampin_up_mistletoe_season_carolpaynestamps2

Inside I stamped the sentiment, then embossed with the new Seasonal Wreath Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which is also from the Under the Mistletoe Suite. It embosses a wreath that can be used for any season or occasion: spring, fall, Christmas, winter! Love it!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas with the Mams Continued!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas with the Mams Continued!

Hey there! Katie Wolters gave me a really great gift at our Yes Mam! Stamper's Christmas Party. Actually TWO gifts because the card she made was awesome too! She used the Spooky Cat photopolymer set in an out-of-the-box way; using the "hoot owl" to create a "snowy owl" for a winter/Christmas card! The second gift is the gorgeous wood card holder Katie helped her dad make! Simple and versatile, you can set it in the grooved base for a portrait presentation:

Stampin_up_spooky_cat_carolpaynestamps1

 Or you can turn it so the holder is landscape! I love Katie's choice of the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background. It makes the card look warm and cool at the same time!

Stampin_up_spooky_cat_carolpaynestamps2

 Katie heat-embossed the owl with white powder for the "snowy owl" effect. She also added snowflakes and a branch cut with Seasonal Layers Thinlets Dies. She used an easy masking technique: tearing a strip of paper to lay over the bottom of the Whisper White layer before sponging the rest with Marina Mist ink. This gives a "snowbank" effect.

Stampin_up_spooky_cat_carolpaynestamps3

 Her final touch is a bit of white satin ribbon tied in a simple knot.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas with the Mams!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas with the Mams!

Hey there! A couple of weeks ago my team, the Yes, Mam! Stampers, gathered to have our annual Christmas Party. Everyone brought food, we exchanged gifts, and of course we stamped! I will be sharing what we stamped next week (Occasions and Sale-a-bration sneak peeks), but today I want to share with you Christmas creations by my sweet friend, Angie Lisk!

First, our gift exchange guidelines required either the gift to be made with Stampin' Up! or packaged using Stampin' Up! products.  Angie packaged up a set of fancy paper plates and Christmas napkins with a shiny bow and a simple tag she gussied up with a Hometown Greetings Edgelit.

Stampin_up_home_town_greetings edgelits_carolpaynestamps1

She took a simple piece of Whisper White card stock and turned it into a winter scene with the edgelit and the Big Shot. A punched hole and a bit of white ribbon and voila!

Stampin_up_home_town_greetingsedgelits_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Angie gave every one of her sister Mams a bottle of Bath & Body Works lotion in packaging she created herself!

Stampin_up_stitched_felt_embellishment_carolpaynestamps1

Created with Kraft card stock that is now retired, this box is sturdy!

Stampin_up_stitched_felt_embellishment_carolpaynestamps2

Angie adhered a bit of Christmas Quilt Designer Paper to the front of the belly band, then added a greeting layer cut with a Stitched Shapes and Layering Circle Framelits. She added one of our Stitched Felt Embellishments (still available but retiring) to complete the simple homespun look.

Stampin_up_stitched_felt_embellishment_carolpaynestamps3

I received a special gift from Angie, packaged in a gold foil Striped Treat Bag! A quick and simple packaging solution, Angie simply folded the top of this 4 3/4" x 7" bag over, and then added a Gold Library Clip and a tag created with the Merry Little Labels stamp set and Everyday Label Punch! The Gold Foil leaves were punched with the Leaf Punch from the Painted Harvest Bundle. Note: the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper and Merry Little Labels stamp set are retiring on January 2nd, but you can still order them in my Online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Stampin_up_merry_little_labels_carolpaynestamps1

Inside the bag was the cutest little present! Angie had ordered a custom-engraved  Block D just for me with my name and the cutest little owl on it!

Stampin_up_merry_little_labels_carolpaynestamps2

She also gave me a custom-engraved bone folder!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday!

Hey there! I'm continuing my share of the stack of gift card holders I've received as swaps this season. Today I'm away from my stack, so I don't have access to the creator's names, but I will come back and add them later today, hopefully.

Our first gift card holder today combines the Cookie Cutter Christmas set and punch with the Be Merry Designer Series Paper for a gift card "wallet" look. Stampin Blends were used to color the Santa before punching with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.

Stampin_up_cookie_cutter_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

Simply slide of the belly-band to reveal the pocket for the gift card!

Stampin_up_cookie_cutter_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

Next, Merry Little Labels and the Everyday Label Punch combine with a Stitched Shapes oval framelit and Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper for a quick and easy festive look.

Stampin_up_merry_little_labels_carolpaynestamps1

Another belly-band was used to keep the "wallet" closed. The greetings on the inside are from Seasonal Chums.

Stampin_up_merry_little_labels_carolpaynestamps2

Finally for today, the hidden front-pocket style was used with this one that combines the Season Like Christmas set with Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

A bit of Garden Green Stitched Satin Ribbon was added for some shine behind a combo of the Pretty Label Punch and the Duet Banner Punch to highlight the greeting from Season Like Christmas.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

The Pretty Label Punch was also used to create the opening for the gift card.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there! Today starts the final week of Christmas preparations. If it doesn't get done this week it won't happen, will it? I always have big plans to do all kinds of extra things while my family is visiting for the Christmas holidays, but in the end, it's being together and loving each other that matters the most, right?

I have more gift card holders to share with you today, so let's get started!

First, Kathy Johnson used the Hearts Come Home Bundle with Teeny Tiny Wishes to create her fold-out holder. She combined Night of Navy, Whisper White, and a bit of Silver Foil for a classic wintry look. The Night of Navy 1/2" Gingham Ribbon adds a homespun feel.

Stampin_up_hearts_come_home_carolpaynestamps1

Hometown Greetings Edgelits and the Garden Trellis Textured Impressions Embossing folder provide lots of fun elements. The gift card pops into the little slit in the center.

Stampin_up_hearts_come_home_carolpaynestamps3

Next, Deb McCahan used punch/big shot art to create this adorable singing angel for the front of her gift card holder. She cut vellum with a  Bold Butterfly framelit, then embossed with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Folder to create the angel wings. The bow was created with the Bow Builder Punch and the greeting from Jar of Love was framed with the Duet Banner Punch.

Stampin_up_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps1

The angel is attached to a belly band that also serves as the closure.

Stampin_up_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps3

Finally, Mary Lang really knocked it out of the ballpark with her creation using non-traditional Wild Wasabi, Berry Burst, and Whisper White. She added a Season of Glitz Mini Gift Bow above the Labels to Love greeting. I was skeptical about putting these adorably tiny bows on anything to mail, but although it seemed smashed when the swap envelope arrived, the bow popped back into shape pretty quick!

Stampin_up_labels_to_love_carolpaynestamps1

Mary is the master of multi-folds and multi-layers! She stamped images from Carols of Christmas and  Hang Your Stocking for a festive feel! "Happiness is coming to town!" is also from Hang Your Stocking.

Stampin_up_labels_to_love_carolpaynestamps2

The completely open gift card holder. She stamped a greeting from Christmas Quilt in the center and "tis the Season" from Christmas Pines on the gift card pocket. She added a tree cut with a Card Front Builder Die to finish off with flair.
