Download you own copy of the flyer:

Download Flyer_BS_Demo_8.1-31.2014_US

This card from the flyer has prompted alot of questions, so I made one:

Stampin_up_big_shot_stars_framelits_2 - Copy

I embossed the middle star from Bright & Beautiful with white embossing powder on Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, and Pool Party cardstock, then with Silver embossing powder on Whisper White. After cutting the stars into 3/4" wide diagonal strips, I put them back together to create one star and then inserted it through the opening I cut on the top layer with the same-size Star Framelit.

The Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Folder is a Sneak Peek from the Holiday Catalog too! It will be available to order starting August 28!

Stampin’ Up! Gold Soiree Triangle Tree!

Stampin’ Up! Gold Soiree Triangle Tree!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I just got home from an evening at Alisa's. We have some sewing projects in the works. Besides papercrafting, which I began at a very early age, sewing competes for my crafting love! I started sewing in Junior High, made my wedding dress, quilted quilts for my babies, and made almost all of our church dresses until my girls were teenagers. It's hard to tear myself away from it!

Today's card is reminiscent of a quilt, created with the Triangle Punch and embossed with the Decorative Dots folder:

Stampin_up_gold_soiree_tree_1 - Copy

Another Jackie Topa inspiration, I changed this one quite a bit, but loved the Gold Soiree-punched tree. I used the new Kraft cardstock for my background and added the greeting from the Christmas Bliss photopolymer.

I tried something new on the rhinestones on each side of the greeting and on the star. I painted them with the Gold Stampin' Dazzle Marker and it worked great!

Stampin_up_christmas_bliss_1 - Copy

Inside I used more Christmas Bliss stamps, inking with Garden Green and Chocolate Chip markers.

That's all for now. Here's the shopping list to order in my Online Store :

Stampin’ Up! Little Letters Spell JOY!

Stampin’ Up! Little Letters Spell JOY!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! This card was a favorite at my Christmas in July Class this past weekend. It's pretty a pretty simple card, made easier when you use the Magnetic Platform with the Big Shot to cut out the letters:

Stampin_up_little_letters_1

We used the tiny little pinecone sprig from the perennial favorite Lovely As a Tree on the outside and the lone pine tree and Christmas Messages  on the inside:

Stampin_up_more_merry_messages

That's all for now. I'm hoping to go to Alisa's later today to sew a bit. We have been planning some projects for Christmas that we need to get started on!

Here's the supply list for today's card. You can shop for your supplies HERE.
