Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Gift Card Holders!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Gift Card Holders!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! The November theme of the monthly swap I participate in was punch art and/or gift card holders, and oh my, did everyone really go all out!

I've divided them up into a few day's worth of ideas, so be prepared to be WOW'd!

This first swap combines the Seasonal Chums stamp set with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for a really cute and easy gift card holder:

Stampin_up_seasonal_chums_carolpaynestamps1

Whisper White and the Pool Party wintry print from the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper pack look perfectly "wintry"! The snowman has been colored with Stampin' Write Markers, then punched with the 2 1/4" Circle Punch. The edges are sponged with Pool Party ink.

Next, Cindy Ewertz used the Tags & Trimmings set with Layering Circle Framelits to create a classy gift card holder!

Stampin_up_tags_and_trimmings_carolpaynestamps1

Just pull up the Whisper White layer to reveal the sentiment. This is where you would attach the gift card with glue dots.

Tags & Trimmings and the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (black & white plaid) are both retiring from the Holiday Catalog. You need to order by January 2nd, before they are gone!

I love the Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon she added. Just perfect! This ribbon is in the Annual Catalog, so you can still order it in January!

Finally,  nobody does Clean & Simple quite like Tamie Ackerson. Tamie combined the Watercolor Christmas set with Old Olive-striped Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper for her gift card holder. With just a hint of Cherry Cobbler framing the greeting, it's a Christmas Classic Combo!

Stampin_up_watercolor_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

 She created the gift card pocket by simply punching a piece of designer paper with a circle punch before adhering to the opening flap.

Stampin_up_watercolor_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

Finally, she used a sentiment from Christmas Quilt (Also retiring! Hurry! Order this one and the matching Quilt Builder Framelits Dies before they are gone!) and a Watercolor Christmas image to finish the inside.

Stampin’ Up! Musical Season!

Stampin’ Up! Musical Season!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! The stamp set I used for today's project was one I was instantly drawn to when I first saw the 2017 Holiday Catalog, but it's taken me until now to create with it. Sometimes it's just hard to get to do all of the stamping you want to do, but I'm glad I finally inked it up! I combined this bundle with the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper to carry the musical theme. I kept my colors classic: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, and a hint of Garden Green.

Stampin_up_musical_season_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the greeting with black ink on Whisper White, then cut with a Stitched Shapes oval Framelit. I added the mistletoe sprays after cutting with Garden Green ink to get my spacing right. Mistletoe berries are sort of translucent white, so I added just a hint of glow to them with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I cut a scalloped oval to mat behind the image from Cherry Cobbler using a Layering Ovals Framelit.

Stampin_up_musical_season_carolpaynestamps2

Of course I had to add the Silver Foil french horn, cut with a Musical Instruments Framelits die. I cut a thin (1/8" wide) sliver of Garden Green card stock; distressing and separating the layers so I could tie it around the end for just a hint more of color.

Stampin_up_musical_season_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped the Sheet Music background with stamped-off Smoky Slate before adding the Musical Season sentiment with Basic Black ink.

Stampin_up_musical_season_carolpaynestamps4

I added the "little drummer boy", cut from Basic Black card stock using another Musical Instruments framelit.

Stampin’ Up! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop December Edition, Non-traditional Christmas!

Stampin’ Up! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop December Edition, Non-traditional Christmas!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Once again, it's time for the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! yay!

1723402_10152213035905070_85588169_n

Our December theme is "Non-traditional Christmas", which means our projects cannot use any shade of red or green. No Old Olive, Garden Green, Always Artichoke, Lemon Lime Twist, Pear Pizzazz, or Wild Wasabi! No Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, or Berry Burst! Quite the challenge, but I used a new stamp set from the upcoming Occasions Catalog, Petal Palette, with the Hearts Come Home set from the Holiday Catalog to create my card, and I think I did good!

Stampin_up_petal_palette_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

 I chose Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Basic Black,  and Smoky Slate for my color palette, which I think has a wintry feel.  I stamped everything, including the Hearts Come Home greeting before embossing the vanilla layer with the sneak peek Scattered Sequins Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I kept the bottom right corner from being bare by adding a single Hearts & Stars Embellishment with teeny-tiny dots of Liquid Glue.

Stampin_up_petal_palette_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

To get the two-tone color on the birdie (is it a chickadee?) I inked the image first with Smoky Slate ink, then used a Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to add the black highlights. The leafy branch is stamped-off Soft Suede. I gently pressed the edges of the vanilla layer into the Soft Suede ink pad to get the darker "faux layer" look.

Stampin_up_petal_palette_christmas_carolpaynestamps5

The inside sentiment is also from Hearts Come Home, stamped with Soft Suede.

Stampin’ Up! Night In Bethlehem Gift Tag!

Stampin’ Up! Night In Bethlehem Gift Tag!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I attended a Christmas Party last week for the Ladies' Friendship Circle group at my church. Gifts are exchanged, and I created a tag I'm pretty happy with to match the gift wrapping paper I purchased at Hobby Lobby:

Stampin_up_night_in_bethlehem_carolpaynestamps2

I actually purchased the paper with the Night in Bethlehem stamp set in mind. Some of the images on the paper were almost exactly like the ones in the stamp set and matching framelits. Yay Stampin' Up! for being so on-trend!

Here's the tag before I added it to the package. I cut Gold Foil with one of the dies to adhere to the Basic Black base I had cut with a Lots of Labels framelit. I embossed the greeting from Night in Bethlehem with gold powder, then added the Basic Black-stamped Holy Family cut with another coordinating framelit. After tying a bit of Gold 1/8" Ribbon on one end I adhered to the gift with a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_night_in_bethlehem_carolpaynestamps1

Stampin’ Up! Winter Wonder Stepped Up!

Stampin’ Up! Winter Wonder Stepped Up!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Christmas. I love the season and the reason, but this year seems to be particularly hard to keep up with everything.

For my post today I'm sharing the final card I created for the December Creative Crew Challenge "Winter Wonderland". First I created the simple card I shared with you HERE, and then I created another, similar but stepped-up with more layers and embellishments:

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the Pool Party layer with the snowflake image from Tags & Trimmings with Soft Sky ink before embossing with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Folder.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

I added a layer of Whisper White between the Dapper Denim card base and Pool Party embossed layer for a bit of pop!

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

I sponged the raised embossed lines lightly with Pool Party and added a single pearl to the center.

I used a Star of Light sentiment, cut with a Stitched Shapes framelit and backed with a scalloped Dapper Denim oval cut with a Layering Ovals framelit.

 There's an Occasions Catalog Sneak Peek on this card. See that Whisper White 1/4" Organza Ribbon? You will be able to order a roll of it for yourself on January 3rd!

Inside I used another Star of Light sentiment and stamped more Tags & Trimmings snowflakes. Extra sponging on the edges with Soft Sky ink gives this card a soft look.

Stampin’ Up! Season Like Christmas CAS for the Creative Crew!

Stampin’ Up! Season Like Christmas CAS for the Creative Crew!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is our annual "Payne girls" Christmas shopping trip! I'm heading out to meet everyone (even though these days I'm the only one with the Payne last name!) in just a few,  but before I go I wanted to share with you the first of the last two projects I created for the Creative Crew over on Splitcoaststampers!

For this challenge we were to create a card with the "Winter Wonderland" theme, starting with a CAS (Clean and Simple) card, and then a stepped-up version. Today I'm sharing my CAS card with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Season Like Christmas stamp set:

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_cas_carolpaynestamps1

I embossed a layer of Soft Sky multiple times with the Winter Wonder Folder, then gently sponged with Soft Sky ink.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_cas_carolpaynestamps2

A single pearl adorns the center.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_cas_carolpaynestamps3

I heat embossed the greeting from Season Like Christmas with white powder and my heat tool

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_cas_carolpaynestamps4

I wanted this project to have a bit of a "shabby chic" look, so I roughed up the edges of the layer with the side of my Paper Snips, then sponged more Soft Sky ink.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_cas_carolpaynestamps5

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Season Like Christmas with Dapper Denim ink, then stamped snowflakes from Tags & Trimmings with Soft Sky ink.
