Saturday Stamping Stitched All Around!

Saturday Stamping Stitched All Around!

Hey there! I had a lovely birthday day yesterday. I received TONS of birthday wishes from friends and family, including phone calls from my brother & sister. We live about 3 hours apart, so keeping up with weekly phone chats is a must!

I had day #1 of my Happy Birthday Card Class yesterday too, so fun!

Day #2 of class is today. I'm looking forward to stamping with some girls I haven't seen in awhile! yay!

Today's swap cards were all created with the Stitched All Around Bundle that includes the Stitched Labels Framelits!

Combined with Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper creates a very feminine look:

An almost masculine look with Gray Granite, Silver, and Embossing Paste applied with the help of a Pattern Party Decorative Mask:

Alaska Incentive Trip Swaps with One For All and Petal Palette!

Alaska Incentive Trip Swaps with One For All and Petal Palette!

Hey there! The only requirement of the Alaska Incentive Trip swaps was that all of the products used must be current (not retired). This resulted in a wide variety of stamps, colors, embellishments, fun folds, and techniques!

The creator of this card used an ombre' technique to ink the One for All sentiment, then used a Pattern Party Decorative Mask with Shimmery White Embossing Paste to create the background:

Stampin_up_one_for_all_carolpaynestamps1

I love the simplicity of this card, however, you will need to order the Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies BEFORE August 31st if you love the die-cut bow. These framelits are only available to order in August!

Stampin_up_one_for_all_carolpaynestamps2

Lots of stitchin' going on with this Petal Palette card, but it's easy to do with the Stitched Shapes and Stitched Labels dies!

Stampin_up_petal_palette_carolpaynestamps1

This kind of blurry (sometimes I touched the wrong setting on my camera while onboard the ship!) swap was created with the Love What You Do set, Petals & More Thinlets, and the new Thank You Thinlets die!

Stampin_up_petal_palette_carolpaynestamps2

This swap was created with the Country Livin' set and Wood Textures 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. I just love those broken-in cowboy boots, don't you? The leafy spray was cut with a Petals & More Thinlets die.

Alaska Achiever’s Blog Hop August Edition: Holiday Catalog from the Incentive Trip!

Alaska Achiever’s Blog Hop August Edition: Holiday Catalog from the Incentive Trip!

Alaska Achievers

Hey there and welcome to the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop! Our theme for August is the Highlights from the trip and the Holiday Catalog!

First, a few highlights from our Alaska Cruise, compliments of Stampin' Up!

Fabulous vistas and glaciers!  These pics will never do the real thing justice! Blue ice is incredible!

Stampin_up_alaska_glacier_carolpaynestamps1

A trip via narrow-gauge rail, up into the Yukon!

Stampin_up_white_pass_railway_carolpaynestamps2

These trees are MUCH OLDER than they look! The harsh winters here have stunted growth!

Stampin_up_white_pass_railroad_carolpaynestamps1

I was just pinching myself every day to really be here and sharing it all with my love!

Stampin_up_skagway_carolpaynestamps1

Pillow gifts were exciting to discover every evening after dinner!

Stampin_up_pillow_gifts_carolpaynestamps1

My creation this month is with the Wishing You Well set from page 35 of the Holiday Catalog. I covered a small legal pad as my gift to my team members at Vacation Stamping School last weekend and the card is just because!

Stampin_up_wishing_you_well_carolpaynestamps1

After embossing the layer of Crushed Curry with the new Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions folder, I slathered it and Early Espresso layer with new Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint! Love this stuff!

Stampin_up_wishing_you_well_carolpaynestamps2

The simplicity of these images let you create a theme for any season!

Stampin_up_wishing_you_well_carolpaynestamps3

The only part that is the least bit fussy is the bow, which I cut with Paper Snips.

Stampin_up_wishing_you_well_carolpaynestamps4

I used my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add shimmer to the Cajun Craze-stamped bow!

Stampin_up_wishing_you_well_card_carolpaynestamps3
The card is a mirror of the notebook!

Stampin_up_wishing_you_well_card_carolpaynestamps1

Inside I used a Dashing Deer sentiment:

Lilypad Lake Alaska Swaps!

Lilypad Lake Alaska Swaps!

Hey there! The Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop starts this afternoon at 4 p.m. here on my blog, but until then I have more creations from the swap boards to share with you. All five of today's cards are created with Lilypad Lake and the bundled Lakeside Framelits Dies! This bundle was one of the first ones I ordered when demonstrators were allowed to pre-order!

The creator of this cards sponged So Saffron ink on So Saffron card stock to help get the setting sun look. She also used a circle mask to sponge around for the sun. The sailboat silhouettes are simply cut from black cardstock!

Stampin_up_lilypad_lake_carolpaynestamps1

 The Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions folder creates a look of waves.

Stampin_up_lilypad_lake_carolpaynestamps3

 Sponging through a circle stencil makes a great sunrise or sunset!

Stampin_up_lilypad_lake_carolpaynestamps2

Using the generation stamping technique is a great way to stamp these waves! "Generation stamping" means the image was not re-inked between stamping, so the color keeps getting a light shade as it is stamped up the card front.

Stampin_up_lilypad_lake_carolpaynestamps5

 Glossy card stock and an Itty Bitty Greetings sentiment add a lot to this card!

Stampin_up_pop_of_petals_detailed_with_love_carolpaynestamps3
The rose from Graceful Garden was black heat-embossed first, then colored with Stampin' Blends. The greeting is from Southern Serenade.

Stampin_up_graceful_garden_carolpaynestamps1

This Graceful Garden card has a whole different look stamped with the "line-less watercolor" technique! The Handwritten background stamp was used on the front to frame the oval opening. Gorgeous!
