Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day The Newborn King and a Park Lane Purse for Alisa!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day The Newborn King and a Park Lane Purse for Alisa!

Hey there! It's Sunday! Today our family is celebrating Alisa's birthday! yay!

Today's cards are made with The Newborn King set in the Holiday Catalog.

First, Phyllis Shepherd used Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Embossing Powder for her main image. She tied a bit of Linen Thread around a fold of Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon to dangle an All is Calm Snowflake Embellishment.

Next, Glenda Travelstead used the Spotlighting technique for the manger scene she beautifully colored and shaded. The punched circle of Champagne Glimmer paper is the perfect finishing touch!

Finally, Genevieve Ko used Back to Black Designer and Silver Glimmer Paper to highlight the Manger scene for a timeless-yet-contemporary look:

This year I have been trying to make a special one-of-a-kind card for each of my children and grandbabies for their birthday. Alisa loves to design and sew fabric purses, so here's my attempt to create a purse for her with my favorite crafting medium:

Stampin_up_park_lane_for_alisa_1

After I punched the Park Lane Designer Paper with the Postage Stamp Punch, I adhered them to my Blackberry Bliss base, then embossing with the Honeycomb folder. I colored the Very Vintage Designer Button with my Rich Razzleberry Blendability marker, then tied a bit of Gold 1/8" Ribbon through the holes before adhering with a glue dot.

Greeting and sentiment are easy-peasy with phrases from Petite Pairs!

Here's the main supplies for all the cards today. When you want to order, click on any of the product images or click here to go to my Online Store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

I played with the Gentle Peace photopolymer set yesterday, incorporating The Newborn King into some of them. Come back tomorrow for the first day of Gentle Peace Week!

Stampin’ Up! Festival of Trees Part 3!

Stampin’ Up! Festival of Trees Part 3!

Hey there. So sorry for my absence yesterday. It was a hard day in our community. A very dear couple were laid to rest. They had been married for 67 years and went out of this life together last Friday evening when their home exploded from a natural gas leak. They had attended my church for many years and I had the honor of singing for their funeral. An emotional day. Sad but bittersweetly happy at the same time. God is good. They didn't have to miss or mourn each other, we believe they were unconscious from the gas before the explosion, and they entered the gates of Heaven together.

It was a hard day yesterday, so no blogging. But after a good rest last night I'm ready to show you more Festival of Trees swaps today, so here we go:

Rose Marie Coleman chose Island Indigo, Pool Party, and Whisper White for her creation. The Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Bitty Banners Framelits, Lucky Stars folder, Island Indigo 3/4" Chevron Ribbon, and Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack star all come together to make a really fine card!

Stampin_up_festival_of_trees_12

Next, Becky Roberts used Typeset Specialty paper for her background, adding Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details, Gold Sequins, and a star from the Basics Hodgepodge Clips. I see a bit of the Lucky Stars embossing folder peeking out behind the tree. This folder is a "must-have" this year!

Stampin_up_festival_of_trees_7

Finally for today, Karen Trelfa used Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky, and Whisper White for her calm creation, white heat-embossing the trees from White Christmas in the background.

Stampin_up_festival_of_trees_8

That's all for today. I have one more day's-worth of Festival of Trees ideas to show you, so come back tomorrow, please!
