Hey there! Here's more Just Add Color cards. I created several versions for my swap!

The Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder (NEW Sale-a-bration item in the Blossoming Basket Bundle, Level 2) embossed the Basic Gray.

"here for you", also from Blossoming Basket, cut with a Lots of Love Box Framelit.

I used 1/4" Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon from Level 1 Shimmer Ribbon Pack in the Sale-a-bration brochure.

I colored DSP layer with Stampin' Blends.

Every card is different!

Stampin’ Up! Gift Card Holders Day #4!

Posted on December 20, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today we are continuing my series of gift card holder swaps I've received this year!

First this one, completely disguised as a full card, was created by Jenna Raby using the Carols of Christmas stamp set, Holly Textured Impressions folder, Rhinestones, Cherry Cobbler and Emerald Envy.

She colored the rhinestones with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends marker.

The real surprise is when you open the card to reveal the pocket created by the Be Merry Designer Series Paper.

It is disguised by the Lovely Laurel Thinlets-cut Emerald Envy wreath that pops out at you! Love it!

Mary Waring used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlet Die and Christmas Quilt 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper to create this really poppin' gift card holder:

She used the Everyday Label Punch to frame the Tags & Trimmings Greeting, then layered it on a silver Metallic Foil Doily. She added Silver Glimmer stars cut with a Mini Treat Bag Thinlet die. She finished the gift card holder portion with a bit of Silver Mini Tinsel Trim.

If you are dying to make one of these projects, use the December hostess code SRHVXBN9 to receive a thank you card (un-signed so YOU can send it to someone else!) and a little embellishment gift from me when you place your order in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

If your order is over $150, please don’t use this code, because YOU become the hostess and get the free Stampin’ Rewards. You will still receive your thank you card and embellishment gift from me!

Now through January 2nd, Stampin' Up! Is having a Year-End Sale! Discounts on select retiring Holiday Catalog items, as well as surplus items! But don’t delay, these items are only available while supplies last!

Here’s the link to the Retiring and Surplus List:

Stampin’ Up! Alaska Achiever’s Blog Hop November 2017!

Posted on November 28, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop! This hop is filled with inspiration to spark your creativity and imagination as you pursue your passion (and mine) of papercrafting. Whether you love to scrapbook, make cards, or giftables and packaging, I'm sure this hop will show you something to get excited about!

Currently you are at my blog, Carol Payne Stamps. At the bottom of this post you will find a list of all of the participating blogs in the hop. To "hop" on to the next blog all you have to do is click on the name below mine. It's that easy!

Our theme for this year's Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop is anything goes, which is a pretty awesome theme, because this way we can each bring you our best and most loved projects! We were encouraged to use products from the upcoming Occasion Catalog, which begins on January 3rd 2018, and I have a fun little "present" for you!

These cards are 4 1/4" square at the Bermuda Bay/Berry Burst base, then an 8" x 4" Whisper White layer scored and folded at 4" creates the fold for the front and inside.

The Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set from the Occasions Catalog was the set Stampin' Up! chose to give to every attendee in their event bag at OnStage Live earlier this month, so I decided to start with this set first.

I chose the bow image to stamp with Bermuda Bay. There is another coordinating stamp to create shadows, but I chose to only use the bold image for my project. I punched it with a 1" Circle Punch and then punched another circle from Bermuda Bay with the 1 1/2" Circle Punch. I painted the bow with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for some sparkle.

I stamped "treat yourself" from Picture Perfect Birthday first before embossing with the Oh My Stars Textured Impressions Folder.

I love the font the sentiments in this set are written with!

I also created a Berry Burst version. The "ribbons" are actually 1/4" wide strips of Berry Burst card stock.

The Berry Burst version also has a bit of Clear Wink of Stella.

I added a couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I just can't decide which version I like better!

Now it's time to move on to the next stop on the hop! Simply click on the name below mine, Carol Payne, and you will almost instantly (or as long as your internet takes) to the next blog on the list!

If you enjoyed these projects, please use the November hostess code 2CACVAJA to receive a gift from me when you place your order in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

If your order is over $150, please don’t use this code, because YOU become the hostess and get the free Stampin’ Rewards.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 12th!

Posted on November 12, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm flying home today from the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live in Salt Lake City today, but I scheduled this blog post last night so you would still have new swaps to see!

Today I have another collection of fall-themed swaps that are really good ones!

First, Jan Rodrian used a Sponge Brayer to expertly blend So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze for this amazing fall card created with the Colorful Seasons bundle.

Next, Tamie Ackerson combined the Eclipse and Baby Wipe techniques for her card with the Colorful Seasons and Painted Harvest stamp sets. She cut the letters for "FALL" with the Large Letters Thinlets dies.

Susie Wood used the Masking Tape technique with Gourd Goodness and Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets for a lovely thank-you card. The Seaside Textured Impressions folder provides texture and Gold Faceted Gems add sparkle.

Ruth Ann Lilley used the Polished Stone technique on a layer of glossy card stock before stamping over it with the Painted Harvest stamp set. The Label Me Pretty set and Pretty Label Punch created the greeting.

Karen Kurz heat-embossed a Thankful Thoughts greeting with gold powder then layered over Painted Autumn Designer Paper and leaves punched with the Leaf Punch.

Finally, Deb MaCahan used the Tarnished Foil technique with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. She used gold, silver, and copper embossing powders to get this look. She then layered over a strip of Crumb Cake she had stamped with the Tree Rings background.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day October 29!

Posted on October 29, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday, which means it's time for Sunday Swap Day! yay! Today our whole family is traveling down to Kentucky to eat lunch at Patti's 1880's Settlement to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The kids debated whether to have a party/reception for us or to just go out together to eat and spend the day. We decide to go with the day together as a family and I am excited!

First for Sunday Swap Day, Cindy Ewertz created a simple but striking card with the Holiday Catalog set, Good Tidings. She used Lemon Lime Twist, Garden Green, Real Red, and Basic Black. A touch of Silver 1/8" Ribbon and a strip of Merry Music Specialty Designer Paper are the perfect finishing touches.

Good Tidings images are lovely inside too!

Next, Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Hearts Come Home set for her lever card. She also used the Card Front Builder Framelits and Lots of Label Framelits. Dazzling Diamonds Glitter adds silvery snowy touches to the trees.

I love the look with this fold!

Kathy Johnson also used Hearts Come Home with the Hometown Greetings Edgelits (bundled to save 10%) and the Layering Squares Framelits. Night of Navy, Silver Foil, Whisper White, and touches of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper create the perfect winter scene.

This card is a window card! She added a snowflake cut with the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets Dies from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.

Beautiful sentiment from Hearts Come Home and a Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer moon:

Finally, an anonymous creator used Season Like Christmas and Merry Music Specialty Designer Paper for an easel card.

I just love the easel card presentation! The creator used Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, and Tranquil Tide, adding Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the trees for some snowy bling.

Layering Ovals Framelits were used to cut out the greeting that also acts as the easel "stop".
