Stampin’ Up! Serene Scenery Star of Light!

Stampin’ Up! Serene Scenery Star of Light!

Hey there! While I was playing with the Star of Light bundle for the October Online Class I created more cards, one of which I am sharing today and the other one tomorrow!

Stampin_up_star_of_light_carolpaynestamps1

I used a piece of Serene Scenery Designer Paper Stack for the background, mounted on Sahara Sand and embossed with the Sparkle Textured Impressions Folder.

Stampin_up_star_of_light_carolpaynestamps4

I peeled the backing from the Silver Glimmer Paper before cutting with the Starlight Thinlet die. After cutting with the Precision Base Plate under it instead of the regular acrylic cutting pad, I rolled the Die Brush over it a few times and the tiny pieces fell out easily!

Stampin_up_star_of_light_carolpaynestamps5

I love all of the images and sentiments in the Star of Light set. I stamped these with Dapper Denim ink and added a few rhinestones for more sparkle

The "milky way" image adds so much to the starry night look!

Stampin’ Up! Wonder of Christmas for the October Online Class!

Stampin’ Up! Wonder of Christmas for the October Online Class!

Hey there! Today I'm sharing the third and final card in the October Online Class using Wonder of Christmas. I used the "Stained Glass" technique to color the angel:

Stampin_up_wonder_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

 All of the stamps used on this card are included in the Wonder of Christmas set!

Stampin_up_wonder_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

Stained Glass Technique: the angel was gold heat-embossed on vellum, then colored on the back side with Subtles Stampin' Write Markers. It gives the angel a soft look.

Stampin_up_wonder_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

 I created the background by stamping phrases from Wonder of Christmas with Pool Party ink. After I finished coloring the angel, I mounted her on Whisper White. Adhering vellum can be  tricky because the adhesive shows through. I solved my problem by piercing two evenly-spaced holes through both layers and then tying gold twine in a bow.

Stampin_up_wonder_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

 I cut a star from Gold Glimmer paper with a Starlight Thinlet. It is adhered with a glue dot. I added an extra glue dot between the white and vellum layers too. The tiny white scalloped edge is cut with a Shaker Shapes Framelit.

Inside is all stamped with Pool Party and more Wonder of Christmas sentiments. When you receive your October Online Class cards, these words will be embossed with gold.

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop October Edition Fun Folds!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop October Edition Fun Folds!

970616_10152216696390070_1901389811_n

 Hey there! Our Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop October theme is Fun Folds. yay!

For my project I used the "Double-Z Fold" that is so popular right now. It's extremely simple. The card base is 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". The "double" is provided by the 1" x 11" strip of Silver Glimmer paper, scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

Stampin_up_cookie_cutter_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I used the eskimo from Cookie Cutter Christmas, stamped in Dapper Denim, and punched with the bundled Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.

Stampin_up_cookie_cutter_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

The card base is Dapper Denim, layered with Very Vanilla and a piece of By the Shore Designer Series Paper. After cutting a Dapper Denim oval with a scalloped Layering Oval Framelit, I cut a next-smaller smooth oval from the same set. I stamped tiny snowflakes from Christmas Pines, and embossed with the Brick Wall folder for an igloo look!

Stampin_up_cookie_cutter_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

I omitted the "BEARY" from the Cookie Cutter Christmas greeting with Scotch tape, remembering to REMOVE the tape after inking so I didn't get a Dapper Denim blob when I stamped. It fit perfectly inside the Classic Label Punch.

Stampin_up_cookie_cutter_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I continued the snowflakes/igloo theme with another sentiment from Cookie Cutter Christmas.

Stampin’ Up! Embellished Ornaments for the October Online Class!

Stampin’ Up! Embellished Ornaments for the October Online Class!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you the second card I created for the October Online Class, this time with Embellished Ornaments!

Stampin_up_embellished_ornaments_carolpaynestamps1

I used Floral Boutique Designer Paper (on sale this month B3G1Free!) for the background, then cut ornaments from Dazzling Diamonds and Silver Glimmer paper. I removed the plastic-backing from the glimmer paper before cutting with the Delicate Ornaments Thinlets. Using the Precision Base Plate under the glimmer paper while cutting and using the Big Shot Die Brush to remove the pieces really helped speed-up the process. I also used the new Big Shot Platform with it's extra shims built-in to get the tightness needed to cut the paper all the way through.

Stampin_up_embellished_ornaments_carolpaynestamps3
I looped Silver 1/8" Ribbon twice before tying in a bow added with a glue dot.

Stampin_up_embellished_ornaments_carolpaynestamps4

 These pictures really can't do this card justice. It's spectacularly gorgeous in real life!

Stampin_up_embellished_ornaments_carolpaynestamps5

 I hand-cut the banner ends with Paper Snips and added a single rhinestone for a final embellishement.

Inside is just a gorgeous as the outside, all stamped with Embellished Ornaments!

Stampin’ Up! Star of Light for the October Online Class!

Stampin’ Up! Star of Light for the October Online Class!

Hey there! I know you've been seeing the full October Online Class cards at the bottom of every recent post, but I thought you might like to see each card up close. Today's card was created with the Star of Light Bundle and This Christmas Specialty Paper:

Stampin_up_star_of_light_this_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I used a modified z-fold for the layout by securing the narrow front flap with dimensionals.

Stampin_up_star_of_light_this_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

The sheet music design from This Christmas Specialty paper makes the perfect background for the Bethlehem star, cut from Gold Glimmer (I peeled the backing off before I cut with the thinlet) and mounted on a slightly larger one of Island Indigo. A single rhinestone accents the center. I stamped-off the "milky way" star flourish with Island Indigo ink behind the star.

Stampin_up_star_of_light_this_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

The Starlight Thinlets has 7 dies of varying sizes. I used the tiniest one to cut one of Gold Glimmer to accent the sentiment, which is one of the 21 images in the Star of Light set.

Stampin_up_star_of_light_this_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

 I continued the theme inside with the "milky way" and another Star of Light sentiment.
