Stampin’ Up! Rose Wonder Stained Glass for the February Online Class!

Stampin’ Up! Rose Wonder Stained Glass for the February Online Class!

Hey there! I created today's card for the February Online Class using the Stained Glass technique again, this time using the Farmer's Market Designer Paper as my color inspiration!

Stampin_up_rose_wonder_carolpaynestamps_1 - Copy

I used the Old Olive gingham print for my background, and used the whitewash-plank design for my focal image background.

I used Blackberry Bliss for the rose center, then Rich Razzleberry for the outer petals. When I added a rhinestone to the center that I had colored with my black Sharpie marker, I discovered that it looked like a deep purple! Cool!

Stampin_up_rose_wonder_carolpaynestamps_2 - Copy

The inside sentiment is also from Rose Wonder. I added a snippet of Famer's Market to the left side and punched a couple of Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack flowers from Blackberry Bliss and Rich Razzleberry to add below the sentiment. I finished the center with another black Sharpie-colored rhinestone.

Stampin’ Up! Party With Cake and New Weekly Deals!

Stampin’ Up! Party With Cake and New Weekly Deals!

Hey there! I'm a day late blogging because we'vr had a lovely unexpected influx of family visiting! They are very dear to us, and we never get to see them enough, so you can understand why I didn't blog yesterday!

Our guests are staying with us, so I only have a tiny sliver of time to post. Our internet was down this morning due to flooding from all the rain, but just came back up a while ago. Our son-in-law, Cody, was taking the Mt Vernon Township High School girls' basketball team to a game last night when the bus was swept off the road by flood waters. Thankfully, everyone was ok. and the girls unanimously voted to go ahead and play the game!

Today I'm sharing a card we'll make at my "Stampin' in the New Year" class at my house on New Year's Day and Saturday. Contact me for more details, but here's one of the 8 different cards you will choose from:

We will be using LOTS of new product on this card: It's My Party Designer Series Paper, Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Party With Cake stamps, It's My Party Enamel Dots, and Bermuda Bay 1/8" Stitched Ribbon!

Stampin_up_party_with_cake_2 - Copy

The most fun is the inside, using a Party Pop-Up Thinlet Die!

Stampin_up_party_with_cake_3 - Copy

So cool! "Hip Hip Hooray!" is one of two dies in this set. I will be showing you how I used the other die in tomorrow's post!

There's just a few days left to order from the Holiday Catalog and the Year End Sale. Go to my online store to order: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Sky Is the Limit!

Stampin’ Up! Sky Is the Limit!

Hey there! Christmas is only a week away! eeek! I'm not ready, (I know you are NOT shocked, lol!) but I'm working on it. My kids and grandkids all come to stay with us during Christmas, at least they are here for Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning, so I'm working on cleaning up those areas of "stuff" that accumulates during the year. I've heard of a non-clutter system called "one touch" that I'm thinking about trying, but you know, things all have to have  a place of their own before you can do that!

Today's card is another one I created with the Sky Is The Limit Sale-a-bration set:

Stampin_up_skys_the_limit_1 - Copy

I started with a base of Early Espresso, then added layers of Soft Sky, Very Vanilla, and Going Places (coming on Jan. 5th in the Occasions Catalog!) Designer Series Paper. I embossed the Soft Sky and Going Places layers with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions folder. I added a Silver Mini brad to the center of the propeller for more depth.

Stampin_up_skys_the_limit_2 - Copy

I punched the greeting from Sky Is the Limit with the Note Tag Punch, and wrapped a couple of lengths of Smoky Slate Baker's Twine around the layers. I added a single Silver Basic Button to finish it all off.

Stampin_up_skys_the_limit_3 - Copy

Inside is basic stamping with Early Espresso, Soft Sky, and Memento Tuxedo Black. I lined the envelope with Going Places Designer Paper too!

Stampin_up_skys_the_limit_4 - Copy

January 5th will be here before we know it! I can't wait!

You can still order from the Holiday Catalog, Annual Catalog, Weekly Deals, and Year-End Sale in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Four things to remember while you are placing your order in my online store:
1. All orders of any amount (except for Online Class Orders) will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail.

Stampin’ Up! Tap, Tap, Tap!

Stampin’ Up! Tap, Tap, Tap!

Hey there! It's the last day of June! Wow! This summer is flying by so fast! I hate to say it but fall will be here before we know it. boo.

I've always loved the Tap, Tap, Tap stamp set. When I started working on the cards for my Birthday Card Buffet I knew I wanted to use it:

Stampin_up_tap_tap_tap_1 - Copy

This set combines perfectly with the Typeset Specialty Paper!

Stampin_up_tap_tap_tap_2 - Copy

The typewriter is heat-embossed with white powder on Basic Black card stock, then fussy-cut with Paper Snips. I stamped the top of the typewriter again on Very Vanilla with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamped the "tap, tap, tap", then cut out just the sheet of "typing paper" and adhered it.

The mini sheet of "notebook" paper is also a stamp from the set. I cut it out with one of the Squares Collection Framelits and punched the binder holes with a 1/8" Handheld Punch.

Stampin_up_tap_tap_tap_3 - Copy

Inside I stamped "happy Birthday" from my new favorite hostess set, Happy Birthday Everyone. This set has a lovely assortment of phrases to go with the main greeting, including "to a good friend", "to an amazing woman", "to a wonderful man" and more!
