Stampin’ Up! More Christmas Cards  From Friends!

Stampin’ Up! More Christmas Cards From Friends!

Hey there! Today I have more Christmas  cards from friends I want to share with you. Since tomorrow  is Christmas I won't be posting anything, but on the 26th I will be back to start sharing some sneak peeks from the January/June Spring Mini Catalog!

I have three cards to share today, starting with this one from Diane Laur. Diane used a retired Stampin' Up! Christmas set with white heat embossing and Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper (50% off right now on the Year-End Close-out List)

Next, LeeAnn Byrne CASED a card I shared here a couple of months ago to create her Christmas card. I am so honored! She made a few changes to make it her own, of course!

Finally, Donna Ninness created about 40 of these to send out to her besties. She used the Peaceful Nativity Bundle, another Year-End Closeout find. The Nativity Dies are a steal at 50% off the regular price!

Donna used her Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers to color the nativity images.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Cards From Friends!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Cards From Friends!

Hey there! We are still hanging out at home, waiting for our quarantine time to pass. I still have plenty to do to get ready for our family Christmas next week, but I'm waiting to wrap until after I'm no longer contagious.

I've received some pretty cards in the mail from friends and customers, so I decided to share some of them today and tomorrow with you. Most of these today have been created with retired Stampin' Up! products, but it shows how timeless and lasting Stampin' Up! is!

First, my friend Becky Anderson created this pretty card with vellum and retired silver glimmer paper. She attached the vellum over the stamped snowflakes with strategically placed glue dots under the "peace" and the jewels.

IMG_1276 (2)

Norma Artman used Brightly Gleaming Specialty paper with the Christmas Gleaming Bundle (still available on the Year End Closeout List) The Brightly Gleaming Specialty paper and the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack are both discounted 50%!

IMG_1275 (2)

Tina Biby combined retired designer series paper with the retiring Ornamental Envelopes Bundle of stamps and dies for her pretty creation. The Envelopes Dies are currently 40% off!

IMG_1271 (2)

Finally for today, my friend Crystal Lopez enjoys playing with products from many different companies. She sent me this super awesome slim-line shaker card!

IMG_1278 (2)

Hard to believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Very different around here this year, but I'm still thankful we are doing as well as we are and that there is light at the end of our tunnel!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday December 22nd!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday December 22nd!

Hey there! I've been MIA for awhile now due to COVID. I, my husband, and son all tested positive last week, and while our symptoms have been considered mild, this virus is no picnic. Very tired and gastrointestinal upset has been my main symptoms. I had a much better nights' sleep and things feel better today, so I'm hoping I'm on the mend. Our family Christmas has been postponed to New Year's Day; I decided to not try to push myself too hard right away after getting out of quarantine on December 26.

I have a few more swaps to share with you that I think you will like! All of these are also gift card holders too!

First, Jenna Roby created a cube card with the Menagerie Mix-Up Bundle:

Stampin_up_menangerie_mix_up_carolpaynestamps1

The gift card can be added inside the top with glue dots.

Stampin_up_menangerie_mix_up_carolpaynestamps2

Kelly Acheson used the In the Pines Bundle with Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper for her gift card holder:

Stampin_up_in_the_pines_carolpaynestamps1

An easy little pocket created for the gift card.

Stampin_up_in_the_pines_carolpaynestamps2

Gail Connelly created a masterpiece gift card holder with the Snow Wonder stamp set:

Stampin_up_snow_wonder_carolpaynestamps1
She created the pocket with a punch.

Stampin_up_snow_wonder_carolpaynestamps2

Karen Kurz created her gift card holder with the Tree Angle stamp set and Stitched Triangle Dies:

Stampin_up_tree_angle_carolpaynestamps1

I love how she created a "forest" to tuck the gift card behind!

Stampin_up_tree_angle_carolpaynestamps2
Finally, Carol Slack used Warm & Toasty with In the Pines to create her "pop-up" gift card holder:

Stampin_up_warm_&_toasty_carolpaynestamps1

The polar bear is so cute!

Stampin_up_warm_&_toasty_carolpaynestamps2

Most of these projects were created with stamps, dies, and accessories that are retiring from the Holiday Catalog. You can find the complete list here:

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday December 14th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday December 14th!

Hey there! Another busy weekend. I try to stay ahead as much as I can, but always something comes along that gets me off-track. Family always comes first, so that's why I've been blogging my Sunday Swap Days on Monday so much lately.

Today I have a fun collection of gift card holders to share with you!

First, Emily Tull created her gift card holder with Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and the Moose Punch, which are both on the Year-End Closeout Retiring List!

Stampin_up_merry_moose_carolpaynestamps

Next,  Laura Barto used the retiring Festive Post with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder and the Rectangle Postage Punch for her gift card holder. The Mossy Meadow 3/8" Diagonal Stripe Ribbon is 50% off on the Year-End Closeout Retiring List.

Stampin_up_festive_post_carolpaynestamps1

This gift card holder pulls out:

Stampin_up_festive_post_carolpaynestamps2

And then flips open!

Barb Dykhouse created her gift card holder with the Tag Buffet stamp set (retiring), Red Foil Sheets, Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders (retiring and 50% off), and Wonder of the Season Specialty Designer Paper (retiring and 50% 0ff)

Stampin_up_tag_buffet_carolpaynestamps1

It's a simple gift card:

Stampin_up_tag_buffet_carolpaynestamps2

Finally, Rhonda Bassler used the retiring Gnome for the Holidays with retiring-and-20% off 'Tis the Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. She used Hippo & Friends dies from the Annual Catalog to cut the layers.

Stampin_up_gnome_for_the_holidays_carolpaynestamps1

It's easy to make a place for a gift card  by simply scoring, folding, and securing to make a pocket!

Stampin’ Up! Gnome for the Holidays is Retiring and Free Shipping Extended Through Saturday December 12th!

Stampin’ Up! Gnome for the Holidays is Retiring and Free Shipping Extended Through Saturday December 12th!

Hey there! The Year-End Closeout and Clearance Rack Refresh, coupled with my Free Shipping offer, has been going so well I've decided to extend the free shipping through Saturday to give you all a few more days to send me your order!

Today I want to share with you a few projects I've created and shared in the past few months with the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set, starting with this Merry Christmas banner I shared HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833026bdeaa1312200c-450wi

Earlier I used this same little guy as the focal point of the Christmas card I shared HERE.

I paired this guy with Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, which is also on the Retiring/Year-End Closeout List. I used the Tailored Tag Punch, which is from the Annual Catalog, to punch him out and to create the mat layers.

6a00e54f70aa808833026be41ea64c200d-450wi

Finally, I created a more traditional Gnome For The Holidays Christmas card with another print from Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer paper and a print from In Good Taste Designer found in the Annual Catalog. I cut out the focal image with a Celebration Labels Die, which is also on the Retiring/Year-End Closeout List and are discounted 50%! Get all of the details for this card HERE.

Today I want to share with you a collection of cards created with the Peaceful Nativity Bundle. This bundle is on the Retiring List,  which is also called the Year-End Closeout list:

First, I paired Peaceful Nativity with gold heat embossing and the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. Get the details and supply list HERE.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity_carolpaynestamps1

I used the Starlight Technique for this Peaceful Nativity card HERE.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity_carolpaynestamps2

6a00e54f70aa808833026bde90f8be200c-450wi

I made the whole stable with this Peaceful Nativity Diorama HERE.

Stampin’ Up! Giving Tuesday Keeps on Giving!

Stampin’ Up! Giving Tuesday Keeps on Giving!

Hey there!

First, from now through December 9th (the last day you can order Stampin' Up! for Christmas delivery) I'm giving all orders free shipping! You heard that right! This is my special, not Stampin' Up!, so you'll need to send me your order via phone, text, email, or Facebook messenger. I will ship direct to you, and give you a total to pay minus the shipping. You either mail me a personal check or pay with Paypal using your debit or credit card.

Free Shipping

Second, in honor of Giving Tuesday I'm donating 10% of all Stampin' Up! orders placed with me between now and December 9th to Students For Life Action. SFLA is a grass-roots organization working on college campuses across the USA to affect change in the dialog about abortion and the pro-life movement.

In SFLA's own words:

"Since 2006, Students for Life of America has trained more than 100,000 student activists nationwide and currently supports more than 1,250 Students for Life groups in all 50 states. Students for Life Action is deploying these energetic, passionate members of the Pro-Life Generation to the front-lines of the battlefield, where the abortion industry has identified they are the most vulnerable — state-level politics. Students for Life Action empowers and utilizes our pro-life movement’s best, untapped resource — an army of young people across the nation — to kick the abortion industry out of schools and ensure key state political victories to make abortion unprofitable, restrict abortion access, and prepare for a post-Roe America.
Our strategy is simple: Elections. Laws. Leaders."

The card I want to share with you today was created by my team member, Linda Reaney!

This is a "panel-bridge" card.
