Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Meets Faux Silk!

Posted on October 18, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a chance to play late last week, and the card I'm sharing today was one of the ones I created with the Faux Silk technique. I used Painted Harvest with sentiments from Merry Mistletoe to create this bright and cheery card:

For this one I stamped the Painted Harvest bloom with Real Red ink on a white coffee filter (yes, I have both white and natural in my coffee cabinet, although I'm trying to use the natural ones to reduce our bleach exposure in our coffee) I stamped the centers with Crushed Curry and the leaves with Old Olive. In true "faux silk" fashion, I then crumpled the filter into a ball before opening back up and adhering to a Whisper White layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I trimmed the filter to about an inch on all sides, then turned the edges to the backside, mitered the corners, and then adhered with more glue.

The wrinkles and creases did not show up in my photos, but the effect is stunning!

I used Gold Foil for to mat behind the layers to coordinate with the gold-embossed greeting from Merry Mistletoe. I stamped holly leaves from Carols of Christmas with Old Olive on Old Olive card stock, cut with a Card Front Layers Thinlet, and then adhered with glue dots. I added the smallest of the Gold Faceted Gems for more sparkle.

Inside I gold-embossed another Merry Mistletoe sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! September Christmas Card Series Class!

Posted on September 25, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! My posts for the past few days have been late and/or sporadic, I know, but I wanted to let you know the reason today now that things are starting to get sorted out. Periodically, it seems, I wear out my laptop and have to transfer everything over to a new one. Invariably with the new one there is a learning curve, as well as many files and programs that need to be transferred or installed. As I start working with the new one, which is what I'm doing today, and go through my daily routine to edit and watermark my pictures, then write my blog post, little "tweaks" have to be made so that I can do all everything necessary to create a good post. This can all be hampered by the speed of the internet I'm using, and the internet today seems to be running very slow out here at Kimberly's where I'm taking care of Liam & Darcy.

I'm hoping to gain speed this week as I get the rest of the tweaks made.

Today I want to share with you a fun class I have coming up at the end of the week, my September Christmas Card Series Class!

Here are the four cards we will be making on September 30th from 1-6 p.m.:

Stampin’ Up! Thailand Achiever’s Blog Hop September Edition Holiday Catalog Favorites!

Posted on September 19, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the final month of the Thailand Achiever's Blog Hop. While this hop group is ending, another is beginning next month, the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop, and just in case you were wondering, I will be participating in that hop too! yay!

Our theme for September is "Holiday Catalog Favorites". Right now you are at my blog Carol Payne Stamps. When you are done checking out my project, simply click on the name below mine on the list at the end of this post and you can continue on to see all rest of the wonderful projects we have prepared for you! Currently you are at Carol Payne.

For my project I used the Watercolor Christmas stamp set that coordinates with the Watercolor Christmas Project Kit. While I have the kit, I didn't use it for my project today. Instead I combined it with Be Merry Designer Series Paper (Annual Catalog) and the Spooky Cat Bundle.

I created two versions, stamping the bow from Cookie Cutter Christmas in Real Red on my first card, then a Garden Green bow on the second card. I think I like the Garden Green bow best. Which one do you like better?

I chose the candy-striped print from the Be Merry Designer Series Paper for my background. I'm trying, though not always successfully, to simplify my creations so they are easier for you to duplicate.

I stamped the sentiment from Watercolor Christmas with Real Red ink before punching with the Cat Punch. I ove the kitty's tail tangled up with the flourish-y words! After I punched out the cat I punched two more from Basic Black card stock to layer underneath the stamped kitty to complete the Eclipse technique.

I don't really make much Halloween stuff, but I had to purchase the Spooky Cat stamp set just so I could stamp the kitty's face! The bow from Cookie Cutter Christmas fits perfectly under his chin!

I used all Watercolor Christmas images and sentiment on the inside. Even if you don't buy the Watercolor Christmas Project Kit, the Watercolor Christmas stamps are a must have!

The red-bowed kitty:

Stampin’ Up! Season Like Christmas Simple and Stepped-Up!

Posted on September 13, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! One of the great things about going to an event like Vacation Stamping School is getting to see (and take pics) of all of the great ideas on display! Today's cards were created with the Season Like Christmas stand-alone set (no punches or dies to accompany it, gasp!)

First, a very simple-stamping card with Garden Green, Real Red, Whisper White, Early Espresso, and Daffodil Delight. Cut with a Layering Oval Framelit, this would be a great card to mass-produce; all it needs is a greeting!

Next, this card used the same colors as the first, but using a Stamping Sponge to add depth to the edges of the layers takes it up a notch. Again, a good mass-production card!

This card from the Card Contest has more layers (Lemon Lime Twist and Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper), a sentiment from Ready for Christmas, and Embossing Paste added for "snow"! I love the addition of the tiny deer from the Carols of Christmas Bundle!

Finally, here's my recently shared creation with this set. You can view the post with all of the info HERE.

Stampin’ Up! Quilted Christmas from Vacation Stamping School!

Posted on September 12, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! After sharing my cards yesterday using the Christmas Quilt stamps set and Quilt Top Textured Impressions Folder, I think it's time to share the samples that were shared at Vacation Stamping School using the Quilted Christmas Suite:

These samples were part of a really inspiring presentation. I just wish I had jotted down her name.

The Quilted Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Stack provides lots of lovey patterns and designs! The Quilted Christmas 1/4" Ribbon and Stitched Felt Embellishments are fun additions.
