Stampin’ Up! Snow Front Christmas Card!

Posted on October 26, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I loved playing with the Snow Front stamp set when I made my Snow Front Diorama card that I shared with you HERE, so I decided to play with it again! I used almost the same color palette: Misty Moonlight, Whisper White, Real Red, Soft Suede but trading Garden Green for Just Jade.

I stamped trees with Soft Suede this time instead of deer, and used a piece of 2020-2022 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Paper for the layer behind the focal image.

I stamped the mountains multiple times with the same inking of Misty Moonlight. After stamping a couple of times I "huffed" (which is breathing open-mouthed, not blowing) on the stamp for the remaining stampings.

I did all of my stamping and cut it out with the next-to-largest Celebration Labels Die before embossing with the Winter Snow folder.

I had stamped the Itty Bitty Christmas greeting with Real Red ink before embossing. I added rhinestones to the centers of a few snowflakes for some sparkle.

I stamped and cut out the inside layer with the same Celebration Labels Die from the front and used another sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas.

Dimensions:

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

Misty Moonlight In Color Designer layer: 4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White to stamp & cut with next-to-largest Celebration Labels Die: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" – need two

Supplies to order:

Snow Front Photopolymer Stamp Set	Celebration Labels Dies	Winter Snow Embossing Folder
Rhinestone Basic Jewels	Misty Moonlight 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad

Stampin’ Up! Home Together Easel Calendar!

Posted on October 24, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been playing with calendar ideas for an outdoor craft fair I "hope" to be able to do in early December, and my first design is with my tried-and-true favorite fold, the easel!

It's one of the most simple designs I think I've ever done; no stamping, just die-cutting and dry embossing with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. While I was at it I added a Post-it-Note pad to make this even more useful as a nifty desk calendar!

I embossed the white layers with the lovely Winter Snow embossing folder and added the heart cut from the center of the little house with a mini stampin' dimensional.

I love this little house and trees, all cut with Home Together Dies from Garden Green and Real Red card stock!

The side trees are also cut with a Home Together Die.

Dimensions:

Misty Moonlight easel card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" easel upright: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Misty Moonlight calendar mat: 2 3/8" x 3 1/8" Post-it-note mat: 3 1/8" x 3 1/8"

Whisper White layer: 4" x 5 1/4" – need two

Real Red for house/heart: 1 1/2" x 2"

Garden Green for trees: scraps

Supplies to order:

Home Together Dies	Winter Snow Embossing Folder	Misty Moonlight 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

Front, and inside Garden Green layers: 2 3/4" x 4 3/8" – need two

Toile Tidings layer: 2 5/8" x 4 1/8" – need two

Garden Green front focal image mat: 2" x 3 1/2"

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

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:

Thanks for joining us this month! Now click on the "Next" image to go to Tracy's blog to see her project!
