Stampin’ Up! Thankful, Grateful, and Truly Blessed!

Posted on November 14, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's time again for the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!

Our November theme is "Thankful, Grateful, and Truly Blessed", so I created a set of Thanksgiving table favors that are so easy I will have to make a "few" more for our Thanksgiving!

I used the Little Treats Bundle to create this easy favor that requires no adhesive to assemble!

Sentiment from Little Treats stamps and embellishments from the Beautiful Autumn Bundle and a Gilded Gem:

Another Little Treats sentiment paired with the Beautiful Autumn Bundle:

Sentiment a blend of Little Treats and Well Wishes with Gilded Autumn Specialty:

Brass Foil embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D folder after cutting out with the Little Treat Box Die:

So easy to put together! Simply fold on the scored lines created when you cut out the box, then insert the tabs in the slits!

Now my question. Which one do I make 25 more of?

Dimensions to cut out treat box: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Everything else is cut from scraps.

Now it's time to continue on with the hop! Simply click on any of the names in the list!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 1st!

Posted on November 1, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Hope you weren't too messed up by the "falling back" we did last night. I like "falling back" in the fall a lot better than "falling forward" in the spring! Which one do you like better?

Today I'm starting off with the tri-fold card by Kathy Johnson with the Dove of Hope Bundle:

Kathy also used a die from the World Map dies on the center fold:

The third fold:

Next, Audra Moncur used the Freezin' Fun Bundle for her creation:

Barb Nagle used the Have a Hoot bundle to create a cute gift card holder:

Laura Barto used the In the Pines Bundle with Plaid Tidings Designer to create her warm & elegant card:

Janet Johnson Used the Evergreen 3D embossing folder, Brushed Metallic Card Stock, and the Merry Moose Bundle for her creation:

Inside. (not all swaps are stamped on the inside, gasp!)

Rhonda Bassler used the Peaceful nativity Bundle and the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder for her awesome Christmas card!

Jan Rodrian used the Snow Wonder Bundle, Evergreen 3D embossing folder, and Snow Time Dies:

Finally, Ruth Bingle combined the Poinsettia Petals Bundle with Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper for her lovely card:

She cut gold "berries" with Poinsettia Dies to coordinate with the Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon. She cut the poinsettia from the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper and added a Beaded Pearl to the center.

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home!

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have the second sympathy card I created a few days go, this time with Sailing Home, Drybrush Background, and a little bit of Comfort & Hope!

After I created the Comfort & Hope card I shared with you HERE, I got to thinking that Drybrush could look like shiplap, or the paint peeling off of the hull of a ship, so I stamped a Whisper White panel with Misty Moonlight ink and loved the look!

After stamping and cutting out the lighthouse with a Smooth Sailing die, I cut another lighthouse from Misty Moonlight to cut in half vertically so I could layer it on each side of the stamped one to give it more depth and stand out from the Drybrush background of the same color.

I love this sentiment from Sailing Home. I cut it with the Story Label Punch and added a Misty Moonlight In Color Enamel Dot for my finishing touch!

Inside I used the Comfort & Hope sentiment. Sympathy cards are hard to make. This sentiment is perfect when there is nothing you can say to make it better.

Dimensions:

Whisper White Thick card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4"

Whisper White layer: 4" x 5 1/4" for lighthouse and greeting label: scraps inside sentiment layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Misty Moonlight inside layer: 4" x 5 1/4" for lighthouse mat and greeting label mat: scraps

Supplies to order:

Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set	Smooth Sailing Dies	Drybrush Cling Background Stamp
Comfort & Hope Cling Stamp Set (English)	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad	Paper Snips	2020–2022 In Color Enamel Dots
Story Label Punch	Whisper White Medium Envelopes	Stampin' Seal
Mini Stampin' Dimensionals	Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful!

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the Paper Crafting Monthly Blog featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world! You may have arrived from Shirley's blog. She had a fabulous project!

Our October theme is Fall with a Designer Series Paper focus since Stampin' Up! is offering a great sale on select Designer Series Papers this month for 15% off. I decided to use the Life is Beautiful stamp set with Plain Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, which is one of the sale packs!

I used the baby wipes technique to stamp the leaves on the trees, and then cut with a Celebration Labels Die.

The baby wipes technique is an easy way to get color on your stamps! I dropped Cajun Craze, Bumblebee, and Cherry Cobbler in refills on a baby wipe to create a custom "inkpad". Then I inked the leaves stamp with the baby wipe inkpad to get the lovely fall color! You can use the "inkpad" for multiple stampings in the same session!

I snuck in a little bit of Gathered Leaves with the pumpkins stamped with Cajun Craze.

Inside:

Stampin’ Up! Comfort & Hope!

Posted on October 20, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Sympathy cards are not my favorite thing to make, but I had to make two this past weekend, so I want to share this card with the Comfort & Hope stamp set today and I will share the other one soon.

I just received the Dry Brush Background stamp a couple of weeks ago from the One-Day stamp sale, but I've been so busy playing with designer series paper that I almost forgot about it!

As with just about any card I make that I know I'm going to be giving one away, I make two. One of these will go in the mail tomorrow. I combined three sets to make this card with a bit of a masculine feel: Comfort & Hope, Dry Brush, and Swirly Frames.

I used Misty Moonlight, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla for my color combo. I used the largest smooth and the largest scalloped Layering Circle Dies to cut the layers.

I added a multi-loopy bow to the edge of the circle with a glue dot.

I used the Swirly Frames circle on the front focal image and this swirly circles from the Comfort & Hope stamp set inside.

I love this sentiment: "sending you a paper hug"!

Dimensions:

Misty Moonlight card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Soft Suede layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" – need two to cut scalloped circle: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Very Vanilla layer: 4" x 5 1/4" – need two to cut smooth focal image circle: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Linen Thread: about 36"

Supplies to order:

Comfort & Hope Cling Stamp Set (English)	Swirly Frames Photopolymer Stamp Set	Drybrush Cling Background Stamp
Layering Circles Dies	Linen Thread	Misty Moonlight 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad	Soft Suede 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad
Very Vanilla 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Very Vanilla Medium Envelopes	Stampin' Seal
Mini Stampin' Dimensionals	Mini Glue Dots	Stamping Sponges
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
