Stampin’ Up! Clean & Simple Ornamental Pine!

Stampin’ Up! Clean & Simple Ornamental Pine!

Hey there! I spent my Wednesday stamping, stamping, stamping! Such a relaxing and fun day! I didn't actually create anything new, I just stamped several sets of Christmas cards left over from recent events.Iit was so much fun!

Today I want to share with you another card we made on Monday night. This card was originally a Founder's Circle swap, but somehow I lost the creator's name. If you know who, please let me know so I can give them credit!

Stampin_up_ornamental_mossy_pine_1 - Copy

Ornamental Pine with Mossy Meadow & Whisper White cardstock and the On Point Textured Impressions Folder.

The MOST IMPORTANT TIP I gave my stampers for this card:  STAMP THE GREETING FIRST, THEN INSERT INTO THE EMBOSSING FOLDER!

Stampin_up_ornamental_mossy_pine_4 - Copy

Also, insert the card front into the folder with the "tree" triangles pointing toward the top of the layer:

The images in the Ornamental Pine set work well inside, outside, and on the envelope!

That's all for now. Tomorrow is a Liam day, so we will be playing with trains and not stamps, but that's o.k. with me! His daddy is in the R.N. Nursing program and this is his last week before Christmas Break, so I will only have Liam tomorrow and Friday, and then it will be the middle of January before I have him again. I intend to enjoy him the next couple of days while I can!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Peace on Vellum and New Weekly Deals!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Peace on Vellum and New Weekly Deals!

Hey there. It's been a hectic last couple of weeks with all kinds of events, sickness, appointments, babysitting, parties, weddings, you name it, we've probably experienced it lately. New babies are coming soon, the first new grandson is due on New Year's Day!

So my blog has been ignored, and I'm sorry. Today I'm getting back on the blogging bandwagon. How about a little Nature's Peace for starters?

Stampin_up_natures_peace_1

I love this image embossed on vellum, so I used Early Espresso Stampin' Emboss Powder. I placed random glue dots on the back under the embossing to adhere to the Lost Lagoon layer. Not suprisingly, the Chocolate Chip card base coordinated well with the Early Espresso!

Stampin_up_natures_peace_2

Inside I used more stamps from Nature's Peace to complete the sentiments and theme.

How do you like that cool "softness" in the lower left corner of these pics? I wish I could take credit for it, however, after taking these pics I found there was a smear on the lens of my little point-and-shoot. Probably chocolate! lol! Seriously, I found Liam playing with it the other day. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

We made this card last night at my last Stampin' party of the Christmas season at Donna's house. We meet there once a month to stamp and have a Mystery Hostess drawing for the Hostess Benefits. Our attendance has been growing every month, so if you like to stamp or would like to learn, come stamp with us next month on Friday, January 23rd. Contact me for more info.

Stampin’Up! Punch Mug Tags!

Stampin’Up! Punch Mug Tags!

Hey there! This morning I get to help a dear friend set up the reception for her daughter's wedding tomorrow! yay! I will be leaving in just a bit, but before I go I wanted to show you the mugs I've been selling at craft fairs this year:

Stampin_up_cup_tags - Copy

Aren't these just the cutest? I found the mugs at Walmart, filled them with a hot chocolate packet, a candy cane, and a handful of Hershey's kisses, put them in a Stampin' Up! large gusseted bag, then made punched tags to finish them off!

Stampin_up_owl_punch_tag_1 - Copy

After I found the Owl tag idea online, I punched the 2" wide x 4" long tag base of Under The Tree Specialty Paper with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, then added the Owl and greeting. I used the Owl Builder Punch and the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch to create the owl, then used the Petite Pennants Builder Punch and the medium eye circle punch in the Owl Builder Punch to punch out the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer circles for the Santa hat!

Stampin_up_owl_punch_penguin_1 - Copy

I used the same Scallop Tag Topper Punch and Owl Builder Punch for the penguin. I trimmed off the ears and the feet from the owl body with my Paper Snips, then added Crushed Curry feet and used the heart that is included in the Owl punch to make the Crushed Curry beak!

Frosted Sequins and the Petite Pairs greeting add festive finishing touches to both tags!

That's all for now. You can find all the supplies to create these little guys in my online store here: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Vellum & Snowflake Treat Bag!

Stampin’ Up! Vellum & Snowflake Treat Bag!

Hey there! I'm at a craft fair in Salem, IL today at the Community Center, so if you are in the vicinity, come on by and check us out!

Today's little bag was created with White Vellum cardstock, then embossed with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder. I slid a little piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock inside the bag so the embossing shows up nicely.

Stampin_up_snowflake_card_thinlets_1

I cut snowflakes from Silver Foil sheets with dies from the Snowflake Card Thinlet set, then adhered them with glue dots. A Frosted Sequin snowflake and Rhinestone Basic Jewels complete the snowy theme. I tied the bag together with Lost Lagoon 3/8" Satin Ribbon.

That's all for now. I will show you a couple of really fun items I offered at the craft fair tomorrow, so be sure to come back on Sunday!

Here's your supply list for today's project. You can purchase everything you need in my Online Store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
