Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day February 6!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day February 6!

Hey there! Today I have a TON of swaps to share with you, 13 actually! They are mostly created with the Daffodil Daydream Bundle from the J/J Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-bration freebie, Daffodil Afternoon 12" x 12" Designer Paper, with a few other SAB freebies thrown in for good measure! lol!

To start off, here's a pretty swap with Daffodil Daydream and Daffodil Afternoon that arrived without the creator's name. Love the little Brushed Brass Butterfly!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday, Sale-a-bration!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday, Sale-a-bration!

Hey there! I'm still running behind from that flu bug at the end of last week. Usually it only takes me a day to recover after the symptoms recede, but I guess I'm showing my age, I'm still tired and seem to have lost my mojo! I'm hoping to get it back soon!

In the meantime, here's a bunch of Sale-a-bration-inspired swaps to share with you!

First a cute Awesome Otters birthday card by Barb Dykhouse!

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps1

Barb used the new 3D embossing folders from the January/June Mini Catalog, Stripes & Splatters!

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Lisa Miltakis combined Awesome Otters with the new Gentle Waters background stamp!

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps4

She also added a few of the new Faux Sea Glass Shapes!

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps5

Karen Davis combined Awesome Otters with the Picture This Dies for an adorable "peek-a-boo" look!

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps6

Kathy Miller used a bookbinder-fold with Sunshine & Rainbows Sale-a-bration Designer Paper and Driving By stamp set.

Stampin_up_driving_by_carolpaynestamps1

Jan Rodrian combined two Sale-a-bration products, Driving By and Simply Marbleous Designer Paper, with Layering Diorama Dies, Double Oval Punch, and Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.

Stampin_up_driving_by_carolpaynestamps2

Finally, Amy Rich also used two Sale-a-bration items, Island Vibes and Special Moments, with the Macrame 3D embossing folder.

Stampin_up_island_vibes_special_moments_carolpaynestamps

That's all for today! I have to baby-sit Fiona later than usual today, so we'll see if I get anything created to share with you tomorrow! I sure hope so!

Taking Care of Fiona, and the Tummy Bug Stinks!

Taking Care of Fiona, and the Tummy Bug Stinks!

I apologize for no post yesterday. I kept Fiona overnight on Wednesday, but before I put her to bed she puked a little bit. She's had a cold and has been coughing gunk for awhile, so I didn't know for sure if it was from that, but before morning she was sicker with diarrhea. I kept her all day anyway because it turned out her mommy and siblings were also sick at home, so I lounged on the couch most of the day and she lounged on me, lol! Shortly after returning her to her family I came down with it too. Guess it's one of those things that just has to run its' course.

I am on the mend, but instead of a card, how about a couple of puzzles? I learned how to make these recently, so I've been playing with this program, using mostly project pictures with new mini and SAB catalogs. If you like puzzles, these are fun!

First, a puzzle that shows projects created with the Awesome Otters, Catching Butterflies, and Driving By stamp sets in the Sale-a-bration catalog:

https://jigex.com/rja4z

A few tips I had to figure out on my own:

The pieces DO NOT turn. They are shown in the same direction that they fit in the puzzle. I wasted a lot of time on my first puzzle trying to make them turn.

You can click the "open" box at the top of the puzzle to only do the edges first. After you complete the edges the rest of the pieces will appear.

Next to the open box there's another box that shows you what the picture looks like.

Finally, the timer starts as soon as you click on the first piece to move it. As far as I know the timer never runs out, it's just to see if you can better your best.

Here's one more, with cards and products used with the Friendly Hello Bundle, an item you can choose with a $100 order!

https://jigex.com/uoA9N

Ok, I'm going to sign off here now, but I will post my regular end-of-post things before I go, just in case you decide you want to place an order:

Place your order in my online store and you can choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure with a $50 purchase!

Stampin Up! Let’s Set Sail!

Stampin Up! Let’s Set Sail!

Hey there! Today I have one more center-easel-fold card to share with you, at least for now! As you probably have figured out, I'm really enjoying exploring the possibilities with this fold! I couldn't resist using it with the new Let's Set Sail Bundle from the J/J Mini catalog:

Stampin_up_lets_set_sail_carolpaynestamps1

Starting with a Basic Gray card base, I used one of the white woodgrain sides of the Heart & Home Designer Paper to give the side panels of the card front a "shiplap" look. I kept my color scheme decidedly nautical with Real Red, Misty Moonlight, and Basic Gray. I added subtle sky shading with a Blending Brush and Misty Moonlight ink. The water was stamped with one of the images included in the Let's Set Sail set. After stamping the three sections of the sailboat on scraps of Basic White I punched with the Sailboat Builder Punch.

Everything stamped on the inside of this card is from Let's Set Sail, with the exception of the "It's birthday time!" from Awesome Otters I used for the easel "stop".

I had fun making this card. You will too! See my post HERE for a video with instructions to make a Center Easel Fold.

Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otters Valentine!

Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otters Valentine!

Hey there! Today I'm changing up things a bit with a valentine card I created with the Awesome Otters Sale-a-bration set!

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps1

 After stamping the otter with Tuxedo Black ink I colored him with Stampin' Blends, then added a faint edge around him with a Light Pool Party Stampin' Blend.

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps2

I only colored the top half of the otter because I knew the bottom half would be covered with the piece of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper.

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped a greeting from the Love & Happiness stamp set. I added a Fresh Freesia In Color Jewel for some sparkle.

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps5

I added a piece of Gorgeous Grape 3/8" Organdy Ribbon that I tied a knot in one end before adhering the ends to the back side of the So Saffron layer.

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps6

Inside I stamped a sentiment from the Awesome Otters stamp set, free to choose when  you order $50, inside the card.

Stampin_up_awesome_otters_carolpaynestamps7

I also stamped this otter image and colored with the same Stampin' Blends I used on the front. See the product shopping list below to find the colors I used.
