Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day October 24th!

Hey there! Today is Sunday, so of course you know that means I'm sharing swaps today! Let's get started!

First, here's a fun easel card created by Kathy Morgan with the Christmas Season Bundle!

Stampin_up_christmas_season_holly_jolly_season_carolpaynestamps1

Kathy used the Seasonal Labels dies and Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set for her sentiments on the front and beside the easel stop.

Next, Angela Waters used a Wonderful Snowflake with the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set, Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Paper, and Wintry 3D embossing folder.

Stampin_up_frosted_gingerbread_carolpaynestamps1-2

Jenna Roby used the Knit Sweater Dies with one of the Brushed Metallic Foil Sheets, Basic White, Real Red, and a sentiment from Poinsettia Petals. This card is an easel card too!

Stampin_up_knit_together_carolpaynestamps1

Shelly Gruber used the complete Knit Together Bundle with Misty Moonlight and the Well Defined stamp set for her Christmas card swap:

Stampin_up_knit_together_carolpaynestamps3

She used some of the pieces cut-out from the front to embellish the inside!

Gail Connelly used the Seasonal Swirls Dies, Wintry 3D embossing folder, Painted Christmas Designer Paper, Real Red 3/8" Sheer Ribbon, and a sentiment and the birds from the Classic Cloche stamp set. She used a piece of Window Sheet to create a diorama effect!

Stampin’ Up! Great Tidings!

Stampin’ Up! Great Tidings!

Hey there! Today I have the 8th card that we are making today and next Saturday at my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack, Great Tidings!

Stampin_up_great_tidings_carolpaynestamps1

All of the sentiments and images were stamped on the Kraft Specialty Paper before it was embossed with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder.

Stampin_up_great_tidings_carolpaynestamps3

These sentiments are from Great Tidings.

Stampin_up_great_tidings_carolpaynestamps4

This sentiment is from the Stars Are Shining stamp set and is also the name of the music represented by the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder!

Stampin_up_great_tidings_carolpaynestamps5

I did not emboss this panel so there would be signature room!

Stampin_up_great_tidings_carolpaynestamps6

I added strips of Blackberry Beauty Specialty paper to the opposite sides of the narrow panels. This paper is Blackberry Bliss, just like the card base and ink, but is gold embossed. I also added several Gilded Gems to highlight the sentiments and the wise men's gifts for the Christ Child.

Stampin_up_great_tidings_carolpaynestamps7

This card will fold up and fit inside a medium envelope just like a regular card.

Stampin_up_great_tidings_carolpaynestamps2

I think this card turned out to be my favorite of all of the Stamp-a-Stack cards!

The card I'm sharing with you today is one that I've created for my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack at my house this weekend with the Bright Baubles Bundle:

Stampin_up_bright_baubles_carolpaynestamps1

I used the pre-cut and scored Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes to make prepping for this card kit quick and easy! I cut the white snowflake ornament from Snowy White 12" x 12" Velvet and the circle underneath is Green Foil. I accented the ornament with Real Red 3/8" Sheer Ribbon and a diamond-shaped Silver Epoxy Essential.

Stampin_up_bright_baubles_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped "MERRY & BRIGHT" from the Bright Baubles stamp set with Real Red ink on a 1/2" x 3 1/8" scrap of Basic White. The Red, White, and Green colors contrast nicely with the Basic Gray/Smoky Slate/White colors of the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Paper strip in the background.

Stampin_up_bright_baubles_carolpaynestamps4

I used more Bright Baubles images on the inside, stamped with Real Red and Smoky Slate.

Stampin’ Up! Chalkboard Technique!

Stampin’ Up! Chalkboard Technique!

Hey there and welcome to the October edition of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! Our October theme is a fun technique, Chalkboard!

1800397_10152216696440070_2004070056_n

I used the Merriest Moments Bundle to create two card with the Chalkboard Technique. First I cut & embossed the frame with Snowy White 12" x 12" specialty paper using the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder.

Stampin_up_merriest_moments_carolpaynestamps1-1

I heat embossed the sentiment from Merriest Moments using white embossing powder and my Heat Tool. After heating, I cut it out with the rectangle die from the set (the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder name is a bit misleading, the package also contains dies) then added smudges of white craft ink using a Blending Brush to look like an old-fashioned chalkboard.

Stampin_up_merriest_moments_carolpaynestamps2-1

The poinsettia image is from Merriest Moments. I cut it and the gold bloom with more dies from the Merriest Frames pack. I finished it off with a Gilded Gem.

Stampin_up_merriest_moments_carolpaynestamps3

These little cuties are part of it too. I cut them from Cherry Cobbler card stock!

Stampin_up_merriest_moments_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped another Merriest Moments sentiment with black ink.

Stampin_up_merriest_moments_carolpaynestamps5

For my second chalkboard creation, I used Blushing Bride for a softer color palette.

Stampin_up_merriest_moments_carolpaynestamps6

I used the same heat embossing method as with the first card, then added the chalkboard smudges again with white craft ink and a Blending Brush.

Stampin_up_merriest_moments_carolpaynestamps7

The Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder includes these pretty scattered "sparkles" when you emboss an entire layer of card stock.

Stampin_up_merriest_moments_carolpaynestamps8

I tied a few inches of Blushing Bride 3/8" Frayed Grosgrain in a pretty knot then wrapped the ends around the chalkboard layer.

Stampin_up_merriest_moments_carolpaynestamps9

Inside and out I added a few Elegant Gems in the Petal Pink color for some sparkle. I stamped the inside sentiment with Blushing Bride ink.
