Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, More Halloween!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, More Halloween!

Hey there! I don't think I have come down yet from the high of Ivory's birth, but that's not a bad thing! I need to share with you some more Halloween-themed swaps before it gets too late (I will probably share the last of them with you on Monday).

First, Amy Combs used Jar of Haunts and Ghoulish Grunge for her Halloween creation:

Stampin_up_jar_of_haunts_carolpaynestamps2
She used the "cheesecloth" stamp from Ghoulish Grunge to add a textured look to the mummy wrap:

Stampin_up_jar_of_haunts_carolpaynestamps3

She also used the same image to stamp the background:

Stampin_up_jar_of_haunts_carolpaynestamps5

The unknown creator of this next swap also used Jar of Haunts, adding in a swoosh cut with a Swirly Scribbles Thinlet. The "evil eyes" are stamped on a piece of Halloween Night Specialty Paper:

Stampin_up_jar_of_haunts_carolpaynestamps1

Another nameless swap, this time created with the Spooky Fun bundle of stamps and Halloween Scenes Edgelits:

Stampin_up_spooky_fun_carolpaynestamps1

What a shame to not leave your name on this beauty. The creator used Sponge Brayers to roll Perfect Plum and Basic Black ink on Shimmery White card stock for a spooky background:

Stampin_up_spooky_fun_carolpaynestamps2

Gloria Helmbrecht used one of the Seasonal Decorative Masks to sponge Elegant Eggplant ink on Watercolor Paper for a great background before stamping with Spooky Fun:

Stampin_up_spooky_fun_carolpaynestamps3

Gloria also used a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add shine to the moon:

Stampin_up_spooky_fun_carolpaynestamps4

Lastly for today, another nameless swap also created with the Spooky Fun set bundled with the Hallween Scenes Edgelits. I love the tree, fence, and row of cut-out pumpkins!

Stampin’ Up! Sheltering Tree Spotlighting!

Stampin’ Up! Sheltering Tree Spotlighting!

Hey there! Just a quick post this morning. Unless Alisa's baby girl decides to come on her own, she will be here sometime on Friday. Induction is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. on Thursday night!

Today's card was created with one of the Seasonal Decorative Masks and Sheltering Tree:
Stampin_up_sheltering_tree_carolpaynestamps1

I used the spotlighting technique to make the Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry fall foliage really pop!

Stampin_up_sheltering_tree_carolpaynestamps2

 I love the little rake, don't you? Sheltering Tree is a timeless classic stamp set you can use for any occasion!

Stampin_up_sheltering_tree_carolpaynestamps3

 I used a Sponge Brayer to lightly roll Smoky Slate ink through the paisley Seasonal Decorative Mask.  I think it gives the background a smokey-fall-haze-from-burning-leaves look. The sentiment in one of the four included in the set.

Stampin_up_sheltering_tree_carolpaynestamps5

The only image I used that was not from Sheltering Tree was the "my heart smiles just thinking of you" from Suite Sayings.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday! Halloween Scares!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday! Halloween Scares!

Hey there! It's time for a Monday edition of Sunday Swap Day! yay! Alisa's baby girl still hasn't arrived. She is 41 weeks today and has a doctor's appointment with a stress test and an ultrasound later today, so maybe we be seeing a baby soon!

With Halloween just around the corner, I need to show you a few more Halloween swaps before I switch to full-blown Christmas, so here we go!

First, Janice Urke let Halloween Night Specialty Paper do most of the work, with a Spooky Fun sentiment for her swap:

Stampin_up_halloween_night_carolpaynestamps1

Halloween Night Designer Washi Tape, Pumpkin Pie Glimmer paper, and Halloween Night Baker's Twine are easy touches that add a lot of fun!

Stampin_up_halloween_night_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Amy Combs used Halloween Night Designer Washi Tape for her background, cutting out the focal image with a Tags & Labels Framelit, and using a sentiment from Mr. Funny Bones:

Stampin_up_halloween_scares_carolpaynestamps1
Sandy Carlson used Halloween Scares with Halloween Night Specialty, creating banners with Halloween Night Washi Tape and Pumpkin Pie Glimmer. She used a sentiment from Spooky Fun:

Stampin_up_halloween_scares_carolpaynestamps2

Finally,  Jackie Ross used  Spooky Fun stamps with the bundled Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies to create a card using a window sheet to create a "window" to the stamping inside!

Stampin_up_spooky_fun_carolpaynestamps1

I just love the spooky tree with the happy little pumpkins! It reminds me of the poem all of my children learned in kindergarten, only I think it was 5 little pumpkins, not just three!

Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Pumpkin!

Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Pumpkin!

Hey there! While I was creating for the blog hop I also tried another color combo. I used Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry, and Very Vanilla. It made the glimmer paper pumpkin pop!

Stampin_up_suite_sayings_carolpaynestamps1

 I cut the glimmer paper with two sizes of Swirly Scribbles thinlets, putting the smaller one inside the larger for a more glimmer-y pumpkin!

Stampin_up_suite_sayings_carolpaynestamps3

I inked the Suite Sayings sentiment with Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Markers.

Stampin_up_suite_sayings_carolpaynestamps2

 For the background I used a Seasonal Decorative Mask, rubbing a Versamark pad directly on the mask and paper. I held the paper in place with a bit of SNAIL on the back and the mask in place with a couple of pieces of washi tape.

Stampin_up_seasonal_decorative_masks_carolpaynestamps1

 Inside I sponged just a portion of the mask with Pear Pizzazz ink. Another Suite Sayings sentiment completes the card. I used the same mask & sponge on the envelope flap.

Stampin_up_suite_sayings_carolpaynestamps4

 White I was at it I made a second, slightly different card. I've been doing that a lot lately. I end up with more cards to show and send!

Stampin_up_suite_sayings_carolpaynestamps5

 I used Perfect Plum instead of  Rich Razzleberry, all three colors of Halloween Night Enamel Dots, and used the polka-dotty Seasonal Decorative Mask.

Stampin_up_suite_sayings_carolpaynestamps6

 Another Suite Sayings sentiment to finish it all off.

Stampin’ Up! September Paper Pumpkin Something Good to Eat Part 3!

Stampin’ Up! September Paper Pumpkin Something Good to Eat Part 3!

Hey there! I created today's projects with the September Paper Pumpkin, Something Good to Eat!

Stampin_up_paper_pumpkin_candy_slider_carolpaynestamps1

I made slider cards for candy wrappers!

Stampin_up_paper_pumpkin_candy_slider_carolpaynestamps2

I embossed Chocolate Chip  with the Boho Chic folder, layered with Halloween Night Specialty Paper. A Scalloped Tag Topper Punch tag was stamped with Paper Pumpkin September kit stamps.

Stampin_up_paper_pumpkin_candy_slider_carolpaynestamps3

I used Halloween Night Baker's Twine for the "pull" and the tag'sdouble bow. I added a Halloween Night Enamel Dot.

Stampin_up_paper_pumpkin_candy_slider_carolpaynestamps6

16 inches of  twine was wrapped around the candy, then put inside 6" x 5 1/2" Chocolate Chip embossed cardstock.

Stampin_up_paper_pumpkin_candy_slider_carolpaynestamps7

I added Tear & Tape Adhesive to the long edges.

Stampin_up_paper_pumpkin_candy_slider_carolpaynestamps8

I punched with my 1/8" Circle Handheld Punch.

Stampin_up_paper_pumpkin_candy_slider_carolpaynestamps9

I pulled the twine through the holes with a floss threader, tying in a bow.

I decorated  Twix ghost packages with another design from Halloween Night Specialty Paper. The ghost is from Sweet Home, cut with a Home Sweet Home Thinlet. "NO TRICKS JUST TREATS"  is from September Paper Pumpkin, cut with a Paisley framelit.
