Stampin’ Up! Letters for You NOEL!

Stampin’ Up! Letters for You NOEL!

Hey there! I'm so happy for my dad today. He was a Cubs fan all of his life, and although he's no longer with us, I'm still glad they won the World Series!

Today's card  I created for my November Online Class using Large Letters Framelits,  Pretty Pines Thinlets, and Holly Textured Impressions Folder!

Stampin_up_letters_carolpaynestamps1

I love Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe, Very Vanilla, and Gold together.

Stampin_up_letters_for_you_carolpaynestamps2

I love  tree ornament from the Merry Tags Framelits Dies. I punched a 1 3/4" circle from Gold Foil to peek through the cut-out tree.

Stampin_up_letters_for_you_carolpaynestamps3

Cutting out Pretty Pines branches from Always Artichoke and Mint Macaron wasn't too tedious when using a slip of wax paper between the die and card stock, and also using the Precision Base Plate with the new Big Shot Platform.

Very Vanilla Lace Trim ties easily into a bow and added with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_warmth_carolpaynestamps

Inside are Christmas Pine branches with Always Artichoke and Mint Macaron, and a sentiment from Warmth & Cheer with Tip Top Taupe.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Santa Swap Day on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Santa Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there! We had a family gathering yesterday to celebrate Jessica & Alisa's birthdays, so I had zero time to blog! 19 family members! yay!

Today I am sharing with you some of my favorite swaps using the Detailed Santa Thinlets, Greetings from Santa, and Santa's Sleigh bundle!

First, Laura Milligan created this classic Santa card with the Greetings from Santa/Detailed Santa Thinlets!

Stampin_up_greetings_from_santa_carolpaynestamps1

Classic Real Red and Whisper White is the perfect color choice! She also added a Mini Jingle Bell (that really DOES jingle) and Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine!

Stampin_up_greetings_from_santa_carolpaynestamps3

Next, Kristin Kortonick  also used the Greetings from Santa set, punching the stamped and heat-embossed images with circle punches. She used strips of Presents & Pinecones Designer Paper and also added a Mini Jingle Bell tied to Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Trio Pack.

Stampin_up_greetings_from_santa_carolpaynestamps5

Finally, Carol Slack used the Santa's Sleigh stamps and Thinlets Bundle to create her Merry Christmas Card!

Stampin_up_santas_sleigh_carolpaynestamps1

The Sparkle Textured Impressions Folder creates the perfect "snowy" background, complemented by the Dazzling Diamonds "snow" on the pine branches!

Stampin_up_santas_sleigh_carolpaynestamps2

Carol used both Real Red and Emerald Envy Glitter Embossing Powder to create the wreath & bow.

Stampin_up_santas_sleigh_carolpaynestamps3

She used a sentiment from the Hang Your Stocking set to finish off the inside.

Stampin’ Up! Baby Wipes Christmas Pines!

Stampin’ Up! Baby Wipes Christmas Pines!

Hey there! The Hello December Christmas card class is in it's final day today and I wanted to share with you a swap that I chose to feature as one of the cards my stampers can make. It's a swap I received from Judy Anderson. I added a few things and finished the inside to make it my own:

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps1

Elegant Eggplant and Always Artichoke is an unexpected but pleasing color combo for Christmas!

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps3

I added the Mini Pinecone embellishment beside the paper pinecone stamped with the Baby Wipe Technique!

Baby Wipe Technique:

Fold a single baby wipe into fourths. Lay on a non-porous surface. Start by adding a few drops of Pear Pizzazz ink to the custom "ink pad".

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps4

Then add drops of Wisteria Wonder ink to fill in around and between the Pear Pizzazz.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps5

Ink the stamp with this custom-colored ink pad!

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps6

Cut out the pine cone with one of the dies in the Christmas Pines Thinlets set.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps7

Paint the edges of the pine cone with a Gold Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps9

Tap the side of the Gold Wink of Stella Glitter Brush against the brush's lid to get the "splatter" look.

Stampin’ Up! Presents & Pinecones Bells!

Stampin’ Up! Presents & Pinecones Bells!

Hey there! Yesterday I finished up my prep for my Hello December Christmas Card Buffet. We are making 8 cards for $2 each, most of which I had already determined a couple of weeks ago, but I still had one more to create, so I used Seasonal Bells again!

Stampin_up_seasonal_bells_carolpaynestamps1

Presents and Pinecones Designer Paper is still on sale Buy 3 Get 1 Free until the 3st, so I used one of the prints from the pack as my inspiration!

Stampin_up_seasonal_bells_carolpaynestamps2

To mimic the bells in the paper I stamped the snowflake bell with Cherry Cobbler on Delightful Dijon, then punched with the Bell Punch.  I also used the Holly Berry Happiness Bundle to stamp and punch the cherry Cobbler Bow. 

I embossed the Mint Macaron background layer with the Holly folder.

I used Layering Squares Framelits to cut the Whisper White greeting layer (from Holly Berry Happiness) and the Cherry Cobbler scalloped mat behind it.

Stampin_up_seasonal_bells_carolpaynestamps3

I kept the inside clean and simple with a sentiment from Holly Berry Happiness and bits of Warmth & Cheer Designer Washi Tape.
