Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance!

Posted on July 21, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again with Day #3 of Christmas In July Week! Today I have another new bundle from the Annual Catalog, Evergreen Elegance! This bundle consists of a red-rubber cling stamp set and a border punch. I didn't use the punch on today's card, but come back tomorrow and I will share a creation with it, ok?

For my card today I combined the Evergreen Elegance stamp set with the Wintry 3D embossing folders and gold heat embossing. Evening Evergreen ink, Basic White card stock, and gold embellishments all come together for such and elegant look!

I embossed the vellum with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders:

I heat-embossed the traditional Merry Christmas with gold powder, then added gold twine from the Elegant Trim Combo Pack and Gilded Gems to coordinate.

I cut a mat for the inside sentiment layer with a Stitched Rectangle die.

Every day I think today's card is my favorite, but wait till you see the one tomorrow!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Week!

Posted on July 19, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I traditionally hold a Christmas in July class at my house, but this year circumstances are not letting it happen, so I decided to do the next best thing, hold a Christmas In July Week here on my blog!

Today's card is the first one I created with the Tidings and Trimmings bundle from the Annual Catalog!

I used Crumb Cake as my neutral instead of the usual Basic White or Very Vanilla, stamping directly on it with Evening Evergreen, then cutting with a Hippo & Friends die. I cut a larger mat layer from Cherry Cobbler with another Hippo & Friends die. The holly & star embellishments are cut with Christmas Trimmings dies.

I embossed the Soft Succulent layer with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders that is sized to fit in the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. I chose my card stock colors to coordinate with the colors in the Tidings of Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper I used on the card front.

Inside I stamped again on Crumb Cake with a Tidings & Trimmings sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink.

I had fun creating my first Christmas card of 2021! I will be back tomorrow with another Tidings & Trimmings creation!

Supplies to order:

Tidings & Trimmings Bundle (English) [155716] $40.50	Tidings & Trimmings Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [153503] $18.00	Christmas Trimmings Dies [155561] $27.00

Stampin’ Up! A Found Swap Day!

Posted on December 2, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I am recovering from a nasty UTI. Without being TMI, my doctor said it was a "rip roarin" one. Fortunately, the prescription is working and I'm feeling much better.

Obviously, I've had no motivation to stamp, but I hunted through my pictures and found a some lost cards. Weird, but they must have hidden themselves just so I would have something to share today!

First, Mary Waring used the soon-retiring Square Pillow Box Dies with (in a Bundle to save 15%!) A Little Something stamps. She added Silver Glimmer Paper, Silver Cording (retiring), Whisper White 5/8" Satin ribbon, and colored Rhinestones with a Sharpie to coordinate with the Season of Cheer Designer Paper(retiring):

Next, Nancy Hall used Merry Moments Paper Stack with the Tree Punch, Decorative Dots and Stylish Stripes Folders, Itty Bitty Accents Punches, and Festival of Trees and Embellished Ornaments sets for a gift card holder:

Laura Milligan used a Sketched Dots Tag a Bag Gift Bag with the Tree Punch, Christmas Greetings Thinlets, Decorative Label Punch, Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Crumb Cake 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain, and a Tea Lace Doily for a gift card/treat holder:

Finally, Susan Berreth used a Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bag for her fold-up gift card holder. She used Versatile Christmas (retiring), Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Paper, Curvy Corner Trio Punch, and Peaceful Pines Framelits:

All of these items, while some are retiring, are still available in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Saturday Swap Day Snow, Snow, Snow!

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We've not had any snow yet, but today's swaps have plenty!

First, I received this little emery board holder at Dallas OnStage. They used Merry Moments paper, Home for Christmas Enamel Dot, and Real Red 1/4" Cotton Ribbon:

This next swap using Jingle All the Way, Sleigh Ride Edgelits, and Softly Falling folder is also anonymous. I love the vellum "moon"!

Next, Leslie Carmon created a striking snowman card with Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Whisper White, and a circle of Red Foil!

The holly berries are from Snow Place, cut with a Snow Friends framelit:

I love how Leslie put the Red Foil nose inside the card!

Carol Bardin stamped a sentiment from Snow Place to accent the snow bank she created with torn Whisper White paper. She softly sponged the Smoky Slate trees, embossed with the soon-to-retire Woodland folder, then added little red birdies punched with the Tree Builder Punch.

Cindy Ewertz combined the Flurry of Wishes and Wonderland sets for her creation, turning a Spider Web Doily over to emboss with clear powder, before adding a Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Snowflake!

Silver foil backgrounds the Spider Web doily, as well as behind the 1/8" Silver Ribbon bow.

"Joy" is from the Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015 to create the closure:

Finally, Ruth Bingle's punch art snowman combined perfectly with the Softly Falling folder and the sentiment from Snow Place:
