Stampin’ Up! Year in Review for a Happy New Year!

Stampin’ Up! Year in Review for a Happy New Year!

IHey there and Happy 2018! I have my "Stampin' in the New Year" Birthday Card Stamp a Stack starting this morning, but before everyone arrives I want to finish up my "year in review" for 2017. Today I'm starting with July 2017 and working my way to the end of the year showcasing my favorite creations from the year!

First, I combined the Eastern Medallions Thinlets Dies with the Daisy Delight stamp set to create this bold-but-soft thank you card. Here's the link to the July 3rd post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-eastern-medallions-daisy-delight.html

I stamped a flock of Fabulous Flamingos for this blog post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-a-flock-of-fabulous-flamingos.html

6a00e54f70aa80883301b7c908f1f5970b-450wi

This Swirly Bird Christmas card was my favorite one we made at my Christmas in July class! Check it out here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-swirly-bird-christmas.html

6a00e54f70aa80883301bb09ad5bad970d-450wi

Another favorite Christmas card I created was with the Carols of Christmas set. This set is retiring and will no longer be available after tomorrow! Here's the blog post link: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-carols-of-christmas.html

6a00e54f70aa80883301b7c90b415d970b-450wi

I CASED this card from an old swap using the Grown with Love Bundle. See the full post HERE.

6a00e54f70aa80883301b7c912c299970b-450wi

I used Sheltering Tree with the Sheet Music background stamp to create the sympathy card found HERE.

6a00e54f70aa80883301b7c9140511970b-450wi

I combined High Tide with the Colorful Seasons Bundle to create the Double z-Fold card in this blog post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/08/stampin-up-colorful-seasons-double-z-fold.html

6a00e54f70aa80883301b7c91698b2970b-450wi

In August I had the privilege of presenting at a stamping meeting of demonstrators in Champaign, IL. This ornament was my last-minute inspiration, Night in Bethlehem with the Cracked Glass technique! Read all about it HERE.

6a00e54f70aa80883301b8d2a7ee48970c-450wi

A favorite-but-retiring bundle from the Holiday Catalog, Christmas Quilt! I used Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper, also retiring January 2nd, with the Cat Punch (not retiring) to create this easel card. Find more details HERE.

6a00e54f70aa80883301b7c9283ff5970b-450wi

I explored an oldie-but-goodie technique, Faux Silk, in THIS POST with the Count My Blessings set:

6a00e54f70aa80883301b8d2b3fd4b970c-450wi

I used the Painted Harvest set (which is not retiring) to create this adorable hedgehog Christmas card. Get all of the info here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/10/stampin-up-painted-harvest-christmas-hedgehog.html

6a00e54f70aa80883301b8d2b6b34f970c-450wi

Smitten Mittens is another retiring bundle I had fun playing with! Check out one of the three cards I created with this set HERE.

6a00e54f70aa80883301b8d2b935a9970c-450wi

As you have probably figured out by now, I love techniques! I used the Direct Stamping on your embossing folder technique for this card with the retiring Season Like Christmas set. Check it all out here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/11/stampin-up-woodland-season-like-christmas.html

6a00e54f70aa80883301b7c932d044970b-450wi

I also like trying new folds, like the bridge fold I used with this card using the Season Like Christmas set: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/12/stampin-up-season-like-christmas-bridge-fold.html

6a00e54f70aa80883301b8d2c5a0b1970c-450wi

Finally, my newest favorite set, Petal Palette. We will be making this card today at my Stampin' In the New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack. Go HERE for more details.

Stampin’ Up! Gift Card Holders Day #4!

Stampin’ Up! Gift Card Holders Day #4!

Hey there! Today we are continuing my series of gift card holder swaps I've received this year!

First this one, completely disguised as a full card, was created by Jenna Raby using the Carols of Christmas stamp set, Holly Textured Impressions folder, Rhinestones, Cherry Cobbler and Emerald Envy.

Stampin_up_carols_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

She colored the rhinestones with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends marker.

The real surprise is when you open the card to reveal the pocket created by the Be Merry Designer Series Paper.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps1

It is disguised by the Lovely Laurel Thinlets-cut Emerald Envy wreath that pops out at you! Love it!

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps2

Mary Waring used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlet Die and Christmas Quilt 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper to create this really poppin' gift card holder:

Stampin_up_tags_&_trimmings_carolpaynestamps1

She used the Everyday Label Punch to frame the Tags & Trimmings Greeting, then layered it on a silver Metallic Foil Doily. She added Silver Glimmer stars cut with a Mini Treat Bag Thinlet die. She finished the gift card holder portion with a bit of Silver Mini Tinsel Trim.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there! Today starts the final week of Christmas preparations. If it doesn't get done this week it won't happen, will it? I always have big plans to do all kinds of extra things while my family is visiting for the Christmas holidays, but in the end, it's being together and loving each other that matters the most, right?

I have more gift card holders to share with you today, so let's get started!

First, Kathy Johnson used the Hearts Come Home Bundle with Teeny Tiny Wishes to create her fold-out holder. She combined Night of Navy, Whisper White, and a bit of Silver Foil for a classic wintry look. The Night of Navy 1/2" Gingham Ribbon adds a homespun feel.

Stampin_up_hearts_come_home_carolpaynestamps1

Hometown Greetings Edgelits and the Garden Trellis Textured Impressions Embossing folder provide lots of fun elements. The gift card pops into the little slit in the center.

Stampin_up_hearts_come_home_carolpaynestamps3

Next, Deb McCahan used punch/big shot art to create this adorable singing angel for the front of her gift card holder. She cut vellum with a  Bold Butterfly framelit, then embossed with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Folder to create the angel wings. The bow was created with the Bow Builder Punch and the greeting from Jar of Love was framed with the Duet Banner Punch.

Stampin_up_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps1

The angel is attached to a belly band that also serves as the closure.

Stampin_up_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps3

Finally, Mary Lang really knocked it out of the ballpark with her creation using non-traditional Wild Wasabi, Berry Burst, and Whisper White. She added a Season of Glitz Mini Gift Bow above the Labels to Love greeting. I was skeptical about putting these adorably tiny bows on anything to mail, but although it seemed smashed when the swap envelope arrived, the bow popped back into shape pretty quick!

Stampin_up_labels_to_love_carolpaynestamps1

Mary is the master of multi-folds and multi-layers! She stamped images from Carols of Christmas and  Hang Your Stocking for a festive feel! "Happiness is coming to town!" is also from Hang Your Stocking.

Stampin_up_labels_to_love_carolpaynestamps2

The completely open gift card holder. She stamped a greeting from Christmas Quilt in the center and "tis the Season" from Christmas Pines on the gift card pocket. She added a tree cut with a Card Front Builder Die to finish off with flair.

Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live Swaps!

Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live Swaps!

Hey there! As promised, today I have a few swaps to share with you from OnStage Live in Salt Lake City last week. These are not the only swaps I will be sharing, be assured there are more! I won't be sharing them everyday; I'll just sprinkle them in now and then!

Today's swaps are timely because they are Christmas-themed!

Some of today's swaps I can give credit to and some I cannot as these were swapped by the girls from my team at OnStage and some swaps just don't have a creator's name!

This first swap is anonymous, but is a lovely combo of Carols of Christmas, Card Front Builder Thinlets dies, and Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper. Combined with a Crumb Cake card base, this card has a great homespun look!

Stampin_up_carols_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps

Stacy MIller also used the Carols of Christmas bundle, but with a completely different look. Gold Foil behind the top layer adds just the right amount of glow to this nighttime snowy scene!

Stampin_up_carols_of_christmas_by_stacy_miller_carolpaynestamps.com

The Christmas Quilt Suite was used for this fun swap!

QStampin_up_christmas_quilt_carolpaynestamps

Dava Tutt combined Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Paper with the Every Good Wish set:

A fun non-traditional color combo of Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist with the Ready for Christmas bundle:

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 5th!

Hey there! It's time again for Sunday Swap Day! yay!

Ruth Ann Lilley combined the Carols of Christmas set with Be Merry Designer Paper for a CAS (and quick) card:

Stampin_up_carols_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

Another creator used a Christmas Quilt sentiment with Be Merry Designer Paper, and a Stitched Shapes Framelit. Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Whisper White, and a bit of 1/4" Double-Stitched Cherry Cobbler Ribbon all coordinate together.

Stampin_up_christmas_quilt_carolpaynestamps1

 Next, Karen Kurz used almost all of the Quilted Christmas Suite to create her easel card.

Stampin_up_christmas_quilt_carolpaynestamps2

 There's a surprise gift-card holder!

Stampin_up_christmas_quilt_carolpaynestamps3

 The Quilt Builder Framelits include dies to cut out the spool and the needle!

Stampin_up_christmas_quilt_carolpaynestamps4

 Finally, the creator of this card also used Quilted Christmas Suite elements with Watercolor Christmas stamps for a classic Christmas look. A Real Red card base embossed with the Quilt Top Textured Impression Embossing Folder, combined with a strip of Quilted Christmas 6 x6" Designer Paper, Emerald Envy, Whisper White, and a bit of Emerald Envy 3/8" Grosgrain Striped Ribbon are easy, yet very effective.

Stampin_up_watercolor_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

 1" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches easily create the tree embellishment, topped with a gold Metallic Enamel Shape (star).

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day October 22nd!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day October 22nd!

Hey there! It's time for Sunday Swap Day! yay! Today's swaps are all about Christmas! Double yay!

This first "shutter card" was expertly created by Mary Lang! Mary combined the Carols of Christmas set with Nature Sings and Christmas Pines, pulling it all together with traditional Christmas colors of Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, and Old Olive!

Stampin_up_carols_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

In my enthusiasm to add my watermark to these cards I apparently added it twice to this one! The Lantern Builder Thinlets and Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper make this card a winner! Christmas Around the World DSP is part of the B3G1F Designer Series Paper Sale that ends October 31!

Stampin_up_christmas_around_the_world_carolpaynestamps

This card was created with the Christmas Stocking Thinlets Dies, Embossing Paste, Pattern Party Decorative Masks, Gold Glimmer Paper, and Quilted Christmas 1/4" Ribbon!

Stampin_up_christmas_stocking_thinlets_carolpaynestamps1

Merry Mistletoe and the Be Merry Designer Series Paper are the stars of this card! A Garden Green background embossed with the Polka Dot Basics folder perfectly sets off the rest of the card, as does the Whisper White strip punched with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch!

Stampin_up_merry_mistletoe_carolpaynestamps

Tags & Trimmings and the Trim Your Stocking thinlets were used to create this adorable stocking card. Gold embossing of the snowflakes on the vellum complements the Gold Glimmer Snowflake and ties in perfectly with the Mini Gold Sequin Trim used for the stocking hanger!

Stampin_up_tags_and_trimmings_carolpaynestamps

Finally, it doesn't have to be a Christmas set to make a great card! Watts of Occasions includes elements for Christmas, as well as thanks, sorry, love you, and other encouraging phrases, making it a very versatile set!
