Hey there! As promised, today I have a few swaps to share with you from OnStage Live in Salt Lake City last week. These are not the only swaps I will be sharing, be assured there are more! I won't be sharing them everyday; I'll just sprinkle them in now and then!
Today's swaps are timely because they are Christmas-themed!
Some of today's swaps I can give credit to and some I cannot as these were swapped by the girls from my team at OnStage and some swaps just don't have a creator's name!
This first swap is anonymous, but is a lovely combo of Carols of Christmas, Card Front Builder Thinlets dies, and Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper. Combined with a Crumb Cake card base, this card has a great homespun look!
Stacy MIller also used the Carols of Christmas bundle, but with a completely different look. Gold Foil behind the top layer adds just the right amount of glow to this nighttime snowy scene!
The Christmas Quilt Suite was used for this fun swap!
Dava Tutt combined Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Paper with the Every Good Wish set:
A fun non-traditional color combo of Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist with the Ready for Christmas bundle:
Finally, Star of Light by Darlene Mitchell:

Hey there! I'm getting back into the swing of normal life after my trip to SLC last week for the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live event. I will start sharing some swaps from there tomorrow!
Today I have another set of gift tags I created for a class at the Elkville Library last week. They wanted to make Christmas gift tags, so I created these with Merry Little Labels, Snowflake Sentiments, Be Merry Designer Series Paper, and the Everyday Label, Scallop Tag Topper, and Pretty Label punches:
Snowflake Sentiments punched with the Pretty Label Punch:
Snowflake Sentiments punched with the Everyday Label Punch:
Merry Little Labels. The tag base is Crumb Cake punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch!
Be Merry Designer Series Paper background layer. I tied each tag with an 8 inch piece of Cherry Cobbler 1/4" Double Stitched Ribbon.
Behind each punched sentiment I added a Cherry Cobbler label punched with the same punch. I cut the Cherry Cobbler label in half with Paper Snips to "stretch" it behind the greeting.
The Garden Green stamped "Let it Snow" is a favorite in the Merry Little Labels set.
"Special Delivery" was stamped once with Cherry Cobbler ink and punched with the Pretty Label Punch, then stamped with Garden Green and hand-cut closely along each side before adhering over the Cherry Cobbler one with SNAIL.
The back of each tag has this sentiment from Merry Little Labels. I used Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Markers to get the color right.
Each tag has Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper snowflakes cut with one or two sizes of Swirly Snowflake Edgelit dies.
I layered two snowflakes together with a glue dot for a more intricate design!

Hey there and welcome to the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop for November! Our theme this month is Foil, Foil, Foil! Everyone on the hop is using foil sheets, designer paper, snowflakes, etc, in their projects! I can't wait to see what everyone is creating!
For my project this month I used Merry Little Labels and Snowflake Sentiments stamps with Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper to create this:
Starting with a Marina Mist card base, I layered on two different prints from the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper, followed by a gold snowflake from the Foil Snowflakes pack.
I heat embossed an image from the Merry Little Labels stamp set with gold powder on Whisper White, then punched it out with the Everyday Label Punch.
I wrapped Whisper White 1/8" Sheer Ribbon 6 times around the span of my fingers, then tied the center with another piece of the same ribbon to create a bow I adhered with a glue dot.
Inside I layered another piece of Year of Cheer Specialty, then added a white layer I heat embossed a Snowflake Sentiment phrase with gold powder.
Now it's time to travel on to Rachel Yurkanin's blog to see her foil creation!
Or hop back to Laura Milligan's blog to see what she did with the Foil, Foil, Foil theme!

Hey there! Yesterday there was a big announcement from Stampin' Up! about a new stamping tool you can pre-order NOW!
It’s big news when something breaks the mold and changes everything. The Stamparatus will change the way you stamp, and before long, you’ll wonder how you crafted without it!
Why do YOU need one? You’ll fall in love with stamping all over again when you learn everything you can do with it!
Make multiples with ease
Consistently stamp crisp, clean images
If you want a darker impression, apply more ink and restamp—no need to start over
Make fewer mistakes, saving time and money
Easily create 2-step, 3-step, and 4-step stamped images using reversible plates
Experience new and specialized stamping techniques with adjustable stamping plates and precision placement
Here are the product details!
Compatible with Stampin’ Up!’s red rubber (clear, but not wood-mount) and photopolymer stamp
Foam mat to use with photopolymer stamps
Rulers and gridlines for quick measuring
2 open sides so you can stamp on larger paper
2 reversible plates: a total of 4 surfaces to work with
2 magnets to hold the paper in place
Magnet storage areas (on the bottom of the tool)
Non-skid “feet” to help keep the Stamparatus from moving while you are stamping.
Retail Price–$49.00 US
Check out this video from Stampin' Up! that will give you a good look at the Stamparatus and what it can do!
Contact me TODAY to reserve your Stamparatus! I can reserve one for you during the November 16-30, 2017 reservation window with delivery on or around February 1, 2018. This is a new product with a new way to begin to determine the supply need. This initial preorder offering is "while supplies last". This tool will be offered in later publications, but you will want to have me reserve one for you NOW so you can start playing and using it as as it ships in February 2018!
YOU PAY NO MONEY NOW, you will pay in 2018 during Sale-a-bration when you can also earn a FREE Sale-a-bration set with a $50 order!
Note: I've seen the Stamparatus in action at the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live in Salt Lake City last week and it is EVERYTHING they say it is AND MORE!
Here are more graphics to help you see what you will be getting when you reserve the Stamparatus today!
NOTE: For some reason there is a lot of space between paragraphs and pictures in this post. Just keep scrolling to see it all!
The Stamparatus consists of:
A 7" x 7" base with a grid under clear acrylic. It is hinged on two sides only, leaving the remaining two sides open to allow you to stamp on any size paper you wish.Two clear stamping plates also have a grid on them. Clean these only with Stampin' Mist or baby wipes. Anything stronger (like alcohol) can damage the grid linesA gray foam mat is for stamping with photopolymer stamps and is removable when stamping with red rubber clear-mount images.Two STRONG bar magnets. Do not allow these magnets near each other as they can break when snapping themselves together and are really hard to pry apart.
The hinged stamping plates are removable and reversible, allowing you to stamp with at least four different images over and over.
The bar magnets have handy storage "cubbies" on the bottom of the Stamparatus, as well as four non-skid "feet" to help the Stampapratus to remain stationary as you stamp.

While you wait for the Stamparatus to arrive, there's still plenty of fun stamps, dies, punches, and embellishments in the Holiday and Annual Catalogs. Use the November hostess code 2CACVAJA to receive a gift from me when you place your order in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStam

Hey there! Despite a flight delay in Houston we did arrive home before midnight last night. While the beds at the Hilton were comfy, it was even better to sleep in my own bed! Today will be a day of unpacking, catching up on laundry, and all of those little things that are left undone while the mom is on a trip! If I ever start to feel superfluous, all I have to do is go away for a few days and I'm reminded that I am when I return! lol!
I have a lot of swaps and ideas to share, but I still have a couple of "fresh" creations to share before I do. Today I'm sharing a Christmas card I created with the Quilted Christmas suite in the Holiday Catalog and the Cat Punch!
It's an easel card (love that fold!) created with Garden Green, Real Red, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, and Quilted Christmas 6" x6" Designer Series Paper!
This print from the Christmas Quilt Designer Series Paper makes it easy to create this "quilted" card. I simply cut out one of the quilt squares from the sheet, adhered to a mat of Real Red and then on of Whisper White, then embossed all of it with the Quilt Top Textured Impression Embossing Folder. I created the center embellishment with a die from the Card Front Builder Thinlets, Carols of Christmas stamps, and a Pearl Basic Jewel I colored with my Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends.
Hello Kitty! I punched a Crumb Cake kitty with the Cat Punch, then sponged the edges with Soft Suede ink for a Siamese look. I added 1/8" Real Red Solid Ribbon and a greeting from Merry Cafe' punched with the Classic Label Punch.
The easel "stop" is created with the Pretty Label Punch, stamped with another word from Merry Cafe'.
Inside sentiment is from Christmas Quilt.
This card is on my class agenda later this week, so I will be posting the handout/tutorial later this week too!

Hey there! I'm flying home today from the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live in Salt Lake City today, but I scheduled this blog post last night so you would still have new swaps to see!
Today I have another collection of fall-themed swaps that are really good ones!
First, Jan Rodrian used a Sponge Brayer to expertly blend So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze for this amazing fall card created with the Colorful Seasons bundle.
Next, Tamie Ackerson combined the Eclipse and Baby Wipe techniques for her card with the Colorful Seasons and Painted Harvest stamp sets. She cut the letters for "FALL" with the Large Letters Thinlets dies.
Susie Wood used the Masking Tape technique with Gourd Goodness and Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets for a lovely thank-you card. The Seaside Textured Impressions folder provides texture and Gold Faceted Gems add sparkle.
Ruth Ann Lilley used the Polished Stone technique on a layer of glossy card stock before stamping over it with the Painted Harvest stamp set. The Label Me Pretty set and Pretty Label Punch created the greeting.
Karen Kurz heat-embossed a Thankful Thoughts greeting with gold powder then layered over Painted Autumn Designer Paper and leaves punched with the Leaf Punch.
Finally, Deb MaCahan used the Tarnished Foil technique with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. She used gold, silver, and copper embossing powders to get this look. She then layered over a strip of Crumb Cake she had stamped with the Tree Rings background.
