Stampin’ Up! Gold Soiree Triangle Tree!

Stampin’ Up! Gold Soiree Triangle Tree!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I just got home from an evening at Alisa's. We have some sewing projects in the works. Besides papercrafting, which I began at a very early age, sewing competes for my crafting love! I started sewing in Junior High, made my wedding dress, quilted quilts for my babies, and made almost all of our church dresses until my girls were teenagers. It's hard to tear myself away from it!

Today's card is reminiscent of a quilt, created with the Triangle Punch and embossed with the Decorative Dots folder:

Another Jackie Topa inspiration, I changed this one quite a bit, but loved the Gold Soiree-punched tree. I used the new Kraft cardstock for my background and added the greeting from the Christmas Bliss photopolymer.

I tried something new on the rhinestones on each side of the greeting and on the star. I painted them with the Gold Stampin' Dazzle Marker and it worked great!

Inside I used more Christmas Bliss stamps, inking with Garden Green and Chocolate Chip markers.

That's all for now. Here's the shopping list to order in my Online Store :

Stampin’Up! Scalloped Tag Topper Birthday Basics Balloon Card!

Stampin’Up! Scalloped Tag Topper Birthday Basics Balloon Card!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! My laptop had been grumbling at me for the past couple of days about updates, which I had been ignoring, but last night it refused to upload my camera photos, so I accepted the inevitable, updated, restarted, and went to bed!

This morning the cold/sinus thing is still with me. I feel better, but am debating visiting a clinic to get some meds. The left side of my face is still full of junk!

I know I am feeling better because I sat down and stamped this last night. It just made me happy!

Next to Christmas cards, birthday cards are my favorite to make, and this one was pretty quick and easy! Cards with closures made with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch are very trendy right now. I made this one is a bit easier with a "faux closure". Here's how I did it:

I started with Gumball Green cardstock 4" x just a hair less than 2":

I punched both ends with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch:

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_tab_2 - Copy

I cut the punched strip apart, making one piece 1 1/2" long and the other 2 1/4" long. I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of each piece as shown:

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_tab_3 - Copy

After adhering the pieces to my card front I tied a 12" piece of Raspberry Ripple 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon through the slots of the punched ends.

Inside I used more of the Birthday Basics Designer Paper and a Very Vanilla strip punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I stamped a sentiment from the Photopolymer stamp set, Bombs Away Birthday with Raspberry Ripple ink.

We are nearing the end of Sale-a-bration (ends March 31st!) AND we are also nearing the end of the current Annual Catalog. I'm awful about hoarding Designer Paper, but this year I'm trying to use more of it up before it retires. You will be seeing LOTS more Designer Paper used on my creations and inside the envelopes from now on!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Another Great Year!

Stampin’ Up! Another Great Year!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Some of my kids have gone home, some are still here, and tomorrow my nephew and his sweet wife are coming to visit! yay!

Today's project is another we will be making next week at the Stampin' in the New Year Stamp-a-Stack using a new Occasions Catalog set, Another Great Year:

Stampin_up_another_great_year_1

I'm really diggin' the Pool Party, Whisper White, and Real Red color combo! Bet you couldn't tell from the projects I've been showing lately, could you?

For this card I stamped the giant "happy birthday" first in Real Red on the Whisper White layer, cleaned the stamp, then stamped on Real Red cardstock with Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and the Heat Tool. I then cut out the "happy" and "to you" banner pieces so I could layer them over the Real Red stamped image to give it a bit of a "split negative" look.

I embossed the Pool Party layer with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, which will be free with a $50 order beginning January 28th.

Silver Glimmer stars punched with the star punch from the Merry Minis Punch Pack finishes off this card with just the right amount of bling!

Stampin_up_another_great_year_2

I stamped the inside phrase, also from Another Great Year, with Real Red. I added a 1/2" strip of Fresh Prints Designer Paper stack to the bottom of the Whisper White layer to help tie the outside to the inside.

That's all for now! You can order the "Another Great Year" stamp set and the Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack beginning January 3rd, but unti then you can check out the 25 new items added to the Clearance Rack today:
