Stampin’ Up! Gnome for the Holidays!

Stampin’ Up! Gnome for the Holidays!

Hey there! The card I created to share with you today is with the absolutely irresistible stamp set, Gnome for the Holidays! I've been dying to play with it ever since I received it in an order earlier this month. These little guys (and a girl!) are soooo cute!

Stampin_up_gnome_for_the_holidays_carolpaynestamps1

I paired this set with Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series paper, which is still on sale for a few more days at 15% off. I loved the colors in this plaid: shades of Pretty Peacock with Whisper White!

I colored him with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers and punched him and the mat layers with the Tailored Tag Punch:

I punched the greeting with the Classic Label Punch:

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Nativity Starlight!

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Nativity Starlight!

Hey there! I created my "starlight" card today with Peaceful Nativity once again, and used Trimming The Town Designer Series Paper, which is another one of the packs on sale this month for 15% off!

Stampin_up_trimming_the_town_starlight_circle_carolpaynestamps2

I cut the circle mat, star, and side strips from Champagne Foil.

Stampin_up_trimming_the_town_starlight_circle_carolpaynestamps3

I punched the ends of the greeting with the Banners Pick-a-Punch.

Stampin_up_trimming_the_town_starlight_circle_carolpaynestamps5

Inside:

Stampin_up_trimming_the_town_starlight_circle_carolpaynestamps7

Finally, a tutorial for the Starlight Technique!

Cut Whisper White with a Layering Circle Die. Adhere it to your grid sheet with a tiny bit of adhesive on the back. Line up the center of the circle with the bold lines of the grid.

Starlight circle 1

Lay the edge of a Post-it note from the top center to the corner of one of the grid squares. Use a sponge dauber to lightly sponge Misty Moonlight ink along the edge of the Post-it.

Starlight circle 2-1

Move the post-it down two squares on the grid and sponge again.

Starlight circle 5

Continue moving the post-it down one square, pivoting the top of the post-it from the same spot a the top of the circle. You may need to dab off the excess of Misty Moonlight ink before sponging along the post-it edge.

Starlight circle 8

It's now ready to stamp with Peaceful Nativity!

Stampin’ Up! Parisian Flourish Nativity!

Stampin’ Up! Parisian Flourish Nativity!

Hey there! Today's card was created with the Peaceful Nativity Bundle.  I found an old swap while I was cleaning the other day and  decided to re-create with new colors, stamps, and accessories:

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity2

I used Blackberry Bliss for my card base and the strip I embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. After embossing I brayered over the embossed images with White Craft Ink. I decided the white was overpowering the design, so I removed some of the ink from the raised areas by lightly swiping with a baby wipe. I just had to let it dry for a bit before adding any adhesive. I really like the look!

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity3

After gold heat-embossing the Holy Family on Shimmery White, I punched with the Label Me Lovely Punch. I punched a second label from gold Brushed Metallic card stock, cut it in half, to add to the back of the label. I cut the star from the same gold Brushed Metallic with a Nativity Die.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity4

I gold heat-embossed the greeting and added three Gilded Gems.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity5

Here's a paper-saving trick: I conserved my gold Brushed Metallic card stock by cutting 1/2" strips the length I needed to adhere to the edges of the front embossed strip and to the inside layer!

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity6

Dimensions:

Blackberry Bliss card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded 4 1/4"  embossed strip: 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Brushed Metallic (gold) strips:   1/2" x 5 1/2" (need 2 front), 1/2" x 4 3/4" (need 2 inside)  to punch label:  3" x 3" to cut star: scrap

Stampin’ Up! Home Together Easel Calendar!

Stampin’ Up! Home Together Easel Calendar!

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!

Stampin_up_home_together_dies_carolpaynestamps5

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!

Stampin_up_home_together_dies_carolpaynestamps1

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.

Stampin_up_home_together_dies_carolpaynestamps2

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

Stampin_up_home_together_dies_carolpaynestamps3

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

Stampin_up_home_together_dies_carolpaynestamps4

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"

Stampin’ Up! Warm Hugs Gift Card Holder!

Stampin’ Up! Warm Hugs Gift Card Holder!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you a project I created with another oldie-but-goodie: the envelope gift card holder!

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_christmas_giftcard_holder_carolpaynestamps1

Super-easy and economical to make, I made these for my swap this month! The base of the holder is a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope, folded in half, the flap cut in half on the fold line, and one flap adhered down while the other flap remains to insert the gift card!

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_christmas_giftcard_holder_carolpaynestamps8

I embellished it with Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (on sale 15% off this month!) and images from both Wrapped in Christmas and Warm Hugs.

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_christmas_giftcard_holder_carolpaynestamps5

The Warm Wraps Dies contains everything you need to cut out the sentiments and the tree, heart, and candy canes! I cut the greeting layers on the front with Stitched Rectangle Dies and tied it closed with a length of Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon.

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_christmas_giftcard_holder_carolpaynestamps9

Here's the basic dimensions to cover the folds of the holder:

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 for flap: 2 7/8" x 2 1/4"   for layer below the flap: 2 7/8" x 3 5/8"

Toile Tidings layer below the flap: 2 5/8" x 3 3/8"

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

Very Vanilla for front focal image: 2" x 3"

Everything else is scraps of Very Vanilla & Garden Green

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home!

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home!

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!

Stampin_up_sailing_home

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.

Stampin_up_sailing_home_carolpaynestamps2

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!

Stampin_up_sailing_home_carolpaynestamps3

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.

Stampin_up_sailing_home_carolpaynestamps4

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
