Stampin’ Up! More Carols of Christmas from Vacation Stamping School!

Posted on August 22, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! One of the great things about going to Stampin' Up! events, whether sponsored by Stampin' Up! or demonstrators, is getting to see and share ideas. Everyone shares freely, inspiring and give us all a much needed boost for our business.

This freely sharing of ideas is why I can take and share so many pictures with you!

First, I do know the creator of this card, Julie Davison. Julie did her presentation using the Carols of Christmas Bundle. This card is quick and easy, using one of the bold images from Carols of Christmas, one of the two border dies, Be Merry Designer Series Paper, Cherry Cobbler 1/4" Double-Stitched Ribbon, and Layering Squares Framelits:

Julie also demonstrated the "Glitter Window" technique and "Double-Dutch" folds:

This card by Julie uses the moon & stars border die from the Carols of Christmas Bundle and the Sparkle Textured Impressions folder:

This card was entered into a Card Contest, thus the number attached.

A diorama fold using Carols of Christmas and the coordinating Card Front Builder Thinlets Dies:

Stampin’ Up! Carols of Christmas from Vacation Stamping School!

Posted on August 19, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! With my Colorful Seasons Class still going on today I thought I would share some of the swap pictures I took last Saturday at Vacation Stamping School. All of these are created with the Carols of Christmas Bundle that you can order this month and get a jump on creating your Christmas cards. All of the cards I'm sharing today have no creators names available, as these were entered in a card contest:

First, a lovely Whisper White and Soft Sky creation. The creator used the Marbled Background with Soft Sky ink to peek through the cut out trees, then added Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer trees in front. I love the little deer and the holly/berry touches.

Next, the creator of this beauty used a print from Be Merry Designer paper to achieve a North Pole look. Cut-out Garden Green pines were slathered with embossing paste and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to create a awesome background for the Lots of Labels die cut greeting.

The creator of this card embossed the background with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions folder, cut a Gold Glimmer scalloped square to highlight the greeting, and added glitter to just about everything for a snowy winter wonderland look!

Finally, this creation is the perfect gift bag! Gold heat-embossing, gold die-cut accents, and Gold 3/8" Metallic-edged Ribbon all coordinate perfectly!

That's all I have time to share today, but I have more, LOTS more to share from this event!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop, August Edition, Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks!

Posted on August 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the August edition of the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! We have been a fewer than a dozen for a few months as some of our members have made changes to their business model and excused themselves from the hop, but this month we are welcoming TWO new members, bringing our number of hoppers back up to the full dozen! yay!

Our theme this month is "Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks", so sit back, relax, and get ready to be "WOW'd"!

If you have placed an order with me in the past year, the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog should be arriving in your mailbox very soon! If you don't receive a copy from me and would like to receive one so you can get started making your Wish List, then leave me a comment or message me and I'll get one in the mail to you in a jiffy!

For my project I chose to use a Holiday Catalog set that does not come bundled with framelits or a punch (I know, gasp!) There are plenty of great sets you can choose from that don't require an extra apparatus to make beautiful cards. I chose Season Like Christmas and paired it with a new embossing folder, the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions folder. Although I love this card with the embossed snowflake, it would be a gorgeous card without it!

I created two versions, first a very simple one with just stamping twice with Old Olive ink without re-inking in between stamping and then embossing with the Winter Wonder Folder. This one allows the embossed snowflake to shine!

I also created a slightly stepped-up version with three stamped trees (stamped all three time with only inking the stamp with Old Olive once) and the addition of a Hearts & Stars Element:

Both have the same inside, stamped with Season Like Christmas images and Old Olive and Basic Black ink.

Season Like Christmas and the Winter Wonder folder will be available to order on September 1st when the Holiday Catalog goes live.

Which version of this card do you like best?

Now it's time to move along to the next hopper to see what Judy Garza has created!

Or hop back to Laura Milligan's blog to see her lovely creation!

If you don't have your own Stampin Up! demonstrator, you can go to my online store to order: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

That's all for now, until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Bonus Days & Christmas in July Ends Today!

Posted on July 31, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The card I'm sharing today I created for a blog hop that unfortunately I was unable to participate in, but it's appropriate for today because today is the last day of the Bonus Days promotion AND the last day to purchase the Demonstrator Starter Kit and get the Carols of Christmas set added to your kit for free! See all of the details about both promotions at the bottom of this post, but for now, here's my card:

I combined the Carols of Christmas stamps with Be Merry Designer Series Paper, Gold Glimmer Paper, and Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim.

After stamping the ornaments (each side is a different set, can you tell?) with Cherry Cobbler ink I sprinkled with Clear embossing powder and heat set with my Heat Tool for extra shine and dimension.

I wrapped about 40 inches of lace around my hand 5 times then tied the piece of ribbon I had wrapped around the card front around the middle of the loops to create the fun, loopy bow!

Inside I stamped more Cherry Cobbler clear-embossed ornaments, then used my favorite Butterfly Basics phrase and the Teeny Tiny Wishes Merry Christmas.

The Demonstrator Starter Kit is still only $99 for $125 worth of Stampin’ stuff of your choice (plus business supplies to get started if you do want to hold parties) FREE SHIPPING (you just pay your local sales tax) IN JULY you still get all of that, PLUS you will receive an extra free “Stamping Basics Kit” and the Carols of Christmas stamp set!
