Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday!

Hey there! I'm continuing my share of the stack of gift card holders I've received as swaps this season. Today I'm away from my stack, so I don't have access to the creator's names, but I will come back and add them later today, hopefully.

Our first gift card holder today combines the Cookie Cutter Christmas set and punch with the Be Merry Designer Series Paper for a gift card "wallet" look. Stampin Blends were used to color the Santa before punching with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.

Simply slide of the belly-band to reveal the pocket for the gift card!

Stampin_up_cookie_cutter_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

Next, Merry Little Labels and the Everyday Label Punch combine with a Stitched Shapes oval framelit and Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper for a quick and easy festive look.

Stampin_up_merry_little_labels_carolpaynestamps1

Another belly-band was used to keep the "wallet" closed. The greetings on the inside are from Seasonal Chums.

Finally for today, the hidden front-pocket style was used with this one that combines the Season Like Christmas set with Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

A bit of Garden Green Stitched Satin Ribbon was added for some shine behind a combo of the Pretty Label Punch and the Duet Banner Punch to highlight the greeting from Season Like Christmas.

The Pretty Label Punch was also used to create the opening for the gift card.

Stampin’ Up! Remarkable Ink Big December Blog Hop!

Stampin’ Up! Remarkable Ink Big December Blog Hop!

Hey there! I'm participating in a new blog hop this month, the Remarkable Ink Big Blog Hop!

The-Remarkable-Inkbig-Blog-Hop-300x237

Our theme this month is Sneak Peeks from the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs! I participated in an extra swap this month featuring the Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalogs. (have your received your copy yet? I send one to myself when I do the Stampin' Up! Mailing Selector, and I just received my Occasions Catalog copy yesterday. If you don't have a demonstrator to get catalogs from, just leave me a comment with your name and address and I'll pop one in the mail to you this week!)

I used the Sweet Soiree Suite of products to create my flip/flap fold card:

Stampin_up_cake_soiree_carolpaynestamps2

 I used Sweet Soiree' Specialty Designer Series Paper for the top flap and embossed the bottom flap of  So Saffron card base with the Layered Leaves Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The Sweet Soiree' Suite includes Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon that coordinates perfectly with the silver-embossed paper.

Stampin_up_cake_soiree_carolpaynestamps4

 Inside I added floral images from the Cake Soiree' stamp set withe So Saffron, Powder Pink, and stamped-off Old Olive.  I stamped the sentiment with Berry Burst.

Stampin_up_cake_soiree_carolpaynestamps5

 I used the Everyday Label Punch to create the window for the greeting to peek through.

Stampin_up_cake_soiree_carolpaynestamps7

 I cut the punched piece in half.

Stampin_up_cake_soiree_carolpaynestamps8

 Then added it to the back of the stamped greeting label. I then added the greeting inside the window, adhering to the bottom flap with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_cake_soiree_carolpaynestamps11

Now it's time to continue on to the next blog on the hop to see more sneaky peekies!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Gift Card Holders!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Gift Card Holders!

Hey there! The November theme of the monthly swap I participate in was punch art and/or gift card holders, and oh my, did everyone really go all out!

I've divided them up into a few day's worth of ideas, so be prepared to be WOW'd!

This first swap combines the Seasonal Chums stamp set with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for a really cute and easy gift card holder:

Stampin_up_seasonal_chums_carolpaynestamps1

Whisper White and the Pool Party wintry print from the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper pack look perfectly "wintry"! The snowman has been colored with Stampin' Write Markers, then punched with the 2 1/4" Circle Punch. The edges are sponged with Pool Party ink.

Stampin_up_seasonal_chums_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Cindy Ewertz used the Tags & Trimmings set with Layering Circle Framelits to create a classy gift card holder!

Stampin_up_tags_and_trimmings_carolpaynestamps1

Just pull up the Whisper White layer to reveal the sentiment. This is where you would attach the gift card with glue dots.

Tags & Trimmings and the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (black & white plaid) are both retiring from the Holiday Catalog. You need to order by January 2nd, before they are gone!

Stampin_up_tags_and_trimmings_carolpaynestamps2

I love the Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon she added. Just perfect! This ribbon is in the Annual Catalog, so you can still order it in January!

Stampin_up_tags_and_trimmings_carolpaynestamps3

Finally,  nobody does Clean & Simple quite like Tamie Ackerson. Tamie combined the Watercolor Christmas set with Old Olive-striped Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper for her gift card holder. With just a hint of Cherry Cobbler framing the greeting, it's a Christmas Classic Combo!

Stampin_up_watercolor_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

 She created the gift card pocket by simply punching a piece of designer paper with a circle punch before adhering to the opening flap.

Stampin_up_watercolor_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

Finally, she used a sentiment from Christmas Quilt (Also retiring! Hurry! Order this one and the matching Quilt Builder Framelits Dies before they are gone!) and a Watercolor Christmas image to finish the inside.

Stampin_up_watercolor_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

Later today I will be back to post my project for the Remarkable InkBig Blog Hop. We will be sharing Sneak Peeks from the upcoming Occasions Catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Musical Season!

Stampin’ Up! Musical Season!

Hey there! The stamp set I used for today's project was one I was instantly drawn to when I first saw the 2017 Holiday Catalog, but it's taken me until now to create with it. Sometimes it's just hard to get to do all of the stamping you want to do, but I'm glad I finally inked it up! I combined this bundle with the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper to carry the musical theme. I kept my colors classic: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, and a hint of Garden Green.

Stampin_up_musical_season_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the greeting with black ink on Whisper White, then cut with a Stitched Shapes oval Framelit. I added the mistletoe sprays after cutting with Garden Green ink to get my spacing right. Mistletoe berries are sort of translucent white, so I added just a hint of glow to them with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I cut a scalloped oval to mat behind the image from Cherry Cobbler using a Layering Ovals Framelit.

Stampin_up_musical_season_carolpaynestamps2

Of course I had to add the Silver Foil french horn, cut with a Musical Instruments Framelits die. I cut a thin (1/8" wide) sliver of Garden Green card stock; distressing and separating the layers so I could tie it around the end for just a hint more of color.

Stampin_up_musical_season_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped the Sheet Music background with stamped-off Smoky Slate before adding the Musical Season sentiment with Basic Black ink.

Stampin_up_musical_season_carolpaynestamps4

I added the "little drummer boy", cut from Basic Black card stock using another Musical Instruments framelit.

Stampin_up_musical_season_carolpaynestamps5

The Musical Season stamp set and Musical Instruments Framelits Dies are on the Holiday Catalog Retiring List and will no longer be available to order after January 2nd. They ARE while supplies last, so they could be gone sooner! The bundles of this set & dies is also retiring, so if you are a music lover or just love the little drummer boy, you need to order right away!
