Stampin’ Up! Friendly Wishes for Zach!

Posted on July 16, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The blog hop yesterday was awesome! If you haven't hopped through our Christmas in July hop, go back to yesterday's post and start hoppin'! You'll be glad you did!

I made today's card for my granddaughter's boyfriend, Zach . . . . . . . . . .

You heard that right.

Maddie Kate has a boyfriend? How did this happen?

She's fourteen. He's now 16. They don't car date, they group date and date with either his family or hers. I started dating my husband when I was 14, so now I might be starting to feel a "little" old.

He is also an exceptionally thoughtful, caring, God-loving, tall, handsome young man. I couldn't attend his party, but I sent this:

I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlet Die again. Are you shocked?

I made a gift card holder for the insert. You can't have a self-respecting birthday card without a little money it!

To give the greeting a baseball look, I used the Updated Essentials Paper-Piercing Template, Paper-Piercing Tool, and Stampin' Pierce Mat to pierce the double-curved lines, adding "stitching" with a Real Red marker.

For the insert "pull" I stamped a mini-birthday cake!

Here's the supply list so you can make a card for your "Zach". You will find everything you need to order in my online store: carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on June 28, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had a blast at my Birthday Card Buffet this weekend! I will be sharing more of those cards with you over the next few days!

Today is Sunday Swap Day, and so let's get started!

First, Nancy Hall created her card with the "Build a Birthday" set and Bohemian Designer Series Paper. She cut the cake layers from the DSP instead of stamping them. Even though this photopolymer set is easy to line up, it's even EASIER to line up strips of paper. You can't tell from the picture, but Nancy covered the candle flame with Crystal Effects for dimension and gloss!

The Bohemian paper IS gorgeous! Nancy used several of the coordinating designs:

This set even has a little banner flags stamp, perfect for an extra inside image or to make the envelope coordinating and festive!

Next, Raedean Shibata excellent design combines with colors that pack a lot of punch! Raedean also used the Build a Birthday set, turning the cake layers into birthday candles with a bit of Dazzling Diamonds glitter for sparkle!

Beverlee Morales chose "You've Got This" for her creation. She combined Crumb Cake, Woodgrain embossing folder, Decorative Label punch, Deco Labels Framelits, and Tip Top Taupe 1" Dotted Lace Trim:

Lorraine Duran also chose "You've Got This" and the Decorative Label Punch, using Delightful Dijon, Oval Collection Framelits, and the "birthday wishes" greeting from Build a Birthday.

Finally, Katy Simecka used soft water coloring, adding layers of Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe 1" Lace Trim for an exquisitely feminine look:

That's all for today. Be sure to come back and see me tomorrow. I will sharing another Birthday Card Buffet creation with the Project Instruction Sheet for you to download!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Shoebox Swap With the Mam’s!

Posted on June 21, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Yesterday was my monthly Inspiration Meeting with my downline, the Yes, Mam! Stampers. We had a yummy potluck lunch and a shoebox swap!

First, Linda Reaney created this beauty with Best Thoughts hostess, and a greeting from Butterfly Basics:

Angela Henson used Friendly Wishes, Cherry on Top designer paper and Watermelon Wonder 1" Dotted Lace Trim:

We inked the Friendly Wishes phrase with Watermelon Wonder and Tip Top Taupe Stampin' Write markers!

Angie Lisk's creation used Cherry on Top paper, Boho Chic folder, Happy Birthday Everyone, and Striped Scalloped Thinlets Die.Itty Bitty Accents punched flowers and rhinestones added perfect final touches!

Inside a simple 1/2" strip of Cherry on Top paper, Happy Birthday Everyone phrase, and another Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack flower are all you need!

Joanne Cantrell used the Banner punch and a phrase from Build a Birthday with Cherry on Top paper and coordinating washi tape for pops of color.

Joanne's second card used the "happy Birthday" from Happy Birthday Everyone. We chose between all five new In Colors for our ink and lace. I chose Cucumber Crush!

Martha Swift used Butterfly Basics with Watermelon Wonder, Tip Top Taupe, and Mint Macaron inks. This set is bundled with the Butterflies Thinlet Dies for 15% savings!

Martha also made this card with the Sprinkles of Life set for each of us! She used Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits to cut the card base and used the Envelope Punch Board to make the custom envelope with new In Color Envelope Paper.

Finally, Tina Biby used Sheltering Tree. After stamping the foliage, we turned the stamp over and stamped again to create the solid color background around the leaves. TWO stamps in one!
