Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! It's Sunday, which means it's time to share some swaps! yay!

First, Jan Rodrian used Apple of My Eye with Cherry on Top Designer Paper for her cheery creation:

Stampin_up_apple_of_my_eye_1

A simple "thank you"  and a repeat of the front lower edge complete the look.

Stampin_up_apple_of_my_eye_2

Next, Katy Simecka used the Embossed Bleach technique with the Grateful Bunch set and Blossom Bunch Punch:

Stampin_up_grateful_bunch_1

After heat-embossing the blooms with black powder, Katy used bleach in an AquaPainter to get the dimensional look:

Stampin_up_grateful_bunch_2

Dena Tarkowski sponged the Rose Garden framelit-cut rose with Pear Pizzazz, Pink Pirouette, and Melon Mambo ink for her thank you card:

Stampin_up_rose_wonder_2

Finally, "Great minds think alike", isn't that what they say? Karen Kurz also sponged the Rose Garden framelit for her happy birthday card!

Stampin’ Up! Mediterranean Achiever’s Blog Hop All You Need Is Love!

Stampin’ Up! Mediterranean Achiever’s Blog Hop All You Need Is Love!

GV Blog Header

Hey there!

Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for January. This month our theme is “All You Need Is Love” . We are sure that you will find some incredible inspiration from the projects that you are about to see. 
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Carol Payne Stamps or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.
When I saw this month’s theme, I immediately thought of the Beautiful Ride stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. It is a bit funky, and the Volkswagon bug stamp is definitely 60’s retro-style, perfect to go along with the theme!
Stampin_up_beautiful_ride_1 - Copy
I used a “z-fold” for the Bermuda Bay card base, layered with Melon Mambo, and then a layer of Cherry on Top Designer Paper with a Pool Party design.
Stampin_up_beautiful_ride_2 - Copy
I stamped the “bug” on a piece of Blushing Bride paper from the Limited Edition Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper in the Sale-a-bration brochure, then fancy-cut it out with Paper Snips. I stamped the “LOVE”, hearts and “xoxo” images from Beautiful Ride, all with Archival Basic Black ink. Perfectly Artistic paper is only available until February 15, so place your $50 order today in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
Stampin_up_beautiful_ride_3 - Copy

I cut out the “LOVE BUG” phrase with a Bitty Banners Framelit and added tiny Melon Mambo hearts with glue dots.

Stampin_up_beaufitul_ride_4 - Copy
I finished my creation with more phrases from Beautiful Ride and the “heart smoke trail” from another Limited Edition Sale-a-bration set, Sky is the Limit.
Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don’t want to miss. Remember that currently you are at my blog – Carol Payne, so check the blog hop line up list below to see who is next in the list!
 



That’s all for now, until tomorrow, (actually Friday, January 29th!) have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! It's Sunday, which means it's time to share  some  swaps! yay!

First, Ronda Wade used the Mini Treat Bag Die to create this adorable wedding gift card holder:

Stampin_up_and_many_more_1

Silver and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper give the perfect amount of sparkle.  I love the way she combined the Sweetheart Punch with the Itty Bitty Accents flower punch!

NOTE: the only component of this swap that is no longer available is the Silver Cording.

Stampin_up_and_many_more_2

Clean and simple is the style of this Blended Bloom thank you card  that unfortunately lost it's creator's name. The Black and White of the bloom is the perfect contrast ot the Bermuda Bay and Calypso Coral.

Stampin_up_blended_bloom_1

Chandra Hefta combined Garden in Bloom with a Butterflies Thinlets die for her bright and cheery creation:

Stampin_up_garden_in_ bloom

Vera Milne chose the Side-step fancy fold to highlight the Get Well Soup single stamp. Bermuda Bay Color Collection Designer Series Paper lends cheery "pop" to the black-and-white:

Stampin_up_get_well_soup_1
Finally, Joy Barkofske combined Wild About Flowers with Butterfly Basics and the Bitty Butterfly Punch for her creation using Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Whisper White, and Always Artichoke:

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! It's Sunday, which means it's time for Sunday Swap Day! yay!

First, in honor of the little smattering of snow we had last night, I have a thank-you gift card holder created with the Snow Flurry Bundle (still available to order in the Occasions Catalog), by Rene Watson:

Stampin_up_flurry_of_wishes_1

When open it turns into an easel-gift card holder!

Stampin_up_flurry_of_wishes_2

Next, Kelly Acheson created this roly-poly easel thank-you with the Snow Place Bundle (also still available in the back of the Occasions Catalog):

Stampin_up_snow_place_1

I love his little happy face!

Stampin_up_snow_place_2

His "mittens" are created with punched hearts!

Stampin_up_snow_place_3

Carol Slack created a happy little baker/chef with punches!

Stampin_up_teeny_tiny_wishes_1

His sideburns are created with a circle and the 1" square punch, and I love the little "buttons" on his shoulder!

Stampin_up_teeny_tiny_wishes_2

The "cake" he has baked is actually the bottom of the cupcake punch turned upside down!

Stampin_up_teeny_tiny_wishes_3
