Stampin Up! You’ve Got This, a Stampin’ Blends Sneak Peek!

Posted on October 31, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I needed a card to match a belated wedding gift garnished with a fall spray from Hobby Lobby, so I used a You've Got This stamp to match the one in the spray!

This card previews a sneak peek of the new Stampin' Blends alcohol markers, available to order tomorrow, November 1st!

I rubbed a Bermuda Bay ink pad on the negative side of the Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder before embossing a piece of Bermuda Bay card stock. After embossing with the Big Shot, this gives the background a much richer look. I stamped the bloom from You've Got This with Momento Tuxedo Black ink on Shimmery White card stock before coloring with Light and Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends Markers. I added some Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to the center, Old Olive to the leaves and stem, and used the Stampin' Color Lifter to blend and soften the colors. Stampin' Blends make you look like a pro without the problems!

This present is for a couple who were married in July (we weren't able to attend the wedding), so I used this elegant greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes, punched with the Classic Label Punch. Anytime during your first year of marriage you are a newlywed, right?

I used 1/4" Copper Trim for my embellishment (shown here on an experimental card with Fun Foam) The Copper Trim is pretty tied in a neat bow, but it becomes gorgeous when you pull the fibers apart!

When you stretch the fibers you end up with this unique and fancy bow! I love it!

Inside I used a sentiment from the Rose Wonder set. Again, this sentiment is appropriate for a wedding gift any time in the first year, or even an anniversary!

I colored the inside bloom with my Stampin' Blends markers. As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I get to pre-order new products to play with them before customers can order them. We've had alcohol markers before, but there were manufacturing problems that necessitated a recall. After playing with them a bit, I think they've got all of the kinks worked out and I love them!

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens, Part 3!

Posted on October 30, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm so excited to share with you my favorite Smitten Mittens card so far!

These mittens are so inspiring, they make me think of warm and snuggly sweaters, so I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla with the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder and sponged it with Crumb Cake ink to create the background for the mittens.

I cut out an intricate mitten from both Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla, then backed each with the contrasting color. I added a couple of threads pulled from 5/8" Burlap Ribbon to "hang" them on the card.

I love the bold but elegant greeting from Merry Misteltoe, stamped with Cherry Cobbler on the Very Vanilla banner. I cut the Very Vanilla strip and then the Cherry Cobbler one a 1/4" longer before punching both with the Banner Triple Punch. I added a Hearts & Stars Element with liquid glue.

The inside greeting is also from Merry Misteltoe.

I created a mitten stencil by cutting a scrap piece of card stock with the die, then sponging with Cherry Cobbler ink. There are so many things you can do with die and framelits, it's crazy awesome!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day October 29!

Posted on October 29, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday, which means it's time for Sunday Swap Day! yay! Today our whole family is traveling down to Kentucky to eat lunch at Patti's 1880's Settlement to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The kids debated whether to have a party/reception for us or to just go out together to eat and spend the day. We decide to go with the day together as a family and I am excited!

First for Sunday Swap Day, Cindy Ewertz created a simple but striking card with the Holiday Catalog set, Good Tidings. She used Lemon Lime Twist, Garden Green, Real Red, and Basic Black. A touch of Silver 1/8" Ribbon and a strip of Merry Music Specialty Designer Paper are the perfect finishing touches.

Good Tidings images are lovely inside too!

Next, Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Hearts Come Home set for her lever card. She also used the Card Front Builder Framelits and Lots of Label Framelits. Dazzling Diamonds Glitter adds silvery snowy touches to the trees.

I love the look with this fold!

Kathy Johnson also used Hearts Come Home with the Hometown Greetings Edgelits (bundled to save 10%) and the Layering Squares Framelits. Night of Navy, Silver Foil, Whisper White, and touches of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper create the perfect winter scene.

This card is a window card! She added a snowflake cut with the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets Dies from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.

Beautiful sentiment from Hearts Come Home and a Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer moon:

Finally, an anonymous creator used Season Like Christmas and Merry Music Specialty Designer Paper for an easel card.

I just love the easel card presentation! The creator used Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, and Tranquil Tide, adding Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the trees for some snowy bling.

Layering Ovals Framelits were used to cut out the greeting that also acts as the easel "stop".
