Stampin’ Up! Alaska Achiever’s Blog Hop October 2017!

Posted on October 24, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's time for the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop! The theme for our very first hop is "anything you like!" This hop is exclusive to Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who have earned the 2018 Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip : a week-long cruise along the lower Alaska coast!

This hop includes Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world, so get ready to be "wow'd"! Right now you are at my blog, Carol Payne Stamps. To continue on after you view my project, simply click on the name below mine in the list below to move on to the next blog.

For my project I used the extremely popular and very versatile stamp set from the Holiday Catalog, Painted Harvest!

I used the Direct-Ink-too-Embossing-Folder technique in addition to the Gilded Faux Silk technique to create this elegant-but-easy card. This one may very well be MY card this year!

To create the wreath I used just the smaller of the bloom images from Painted Harvest, stamped with Tranquil Tide ink on a white coffee filter. After crumpling and adhering to a Whisper White square, I wrapped the edges around the the back and then patted the creases and wrinkles with a Versamark ink pad. I then sprinkled Gold Stampin' Emboss powder and heated with my Heat Tool. I adhered it to a Gold Foil layer cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit.

Tiny Rhinestones I colored with my Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends (you can start ordering them on November 1st!) were added for the berries, and I adhered a tiny bow tied with Real Red 1/8" Solid Ribbon with a glue dot.

I stamped "Merry Christmas!" from the Merry Patterns Host set (only available with a party or customer order of at least $300 before tax & shipping through October 31st) with Tranquil Tide. After punching with my best-friend punch, Classic Label, I adhered with dimensionals.

I repeated the wreath motif on the inside, using a sentiment from Snowflake Sentiments.

Stampin’ Up! Merry Cafe’ Gift Card Holder!

Posted on October 24, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Yesterday afternoon the clouds finally broke, the sun came out, and the wind died down, so I was able to get outside to take pics of new cards. I LOVE using natural light! The colors come out more true. I try to do this before sundown, when the light is soft but not too dusky. Of course, I have to have freshly fed our 9 barn cats or they will mob me, but an extra-large can of pate' and a big cup of dry cat food patted on top usually buys me enough time!

The card I want to share with you today is similar to a couple of others I've shared over the past few months, but I used the Merry Cafe' set and the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper to dress this one up!

Did you know the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper is part of the Buy3Get1Free Special Stampin' Up! is offering this month? You can check out the whole line-up of paper packs when you visit my online store to shop: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

This sale only lasts through October 31st, so don't delay!

I've always loved plaid, so this card came together really quickly once I decided to use this print! Here are my dimensions for cutting and scoring:

Old Olive card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 2" and 5 1/2"

Basic Black for front: 4" x 31/4" and for inside layer: 4" x 5 1/4"

Christmas Around the World Designer Paper for front: 3 3/4" x 3" and 4" x 3/4" strip for inside right side

Whisper White for inside layer: 4" x 3 5/8"

Old Olive, Real Red, and Crumb Cake scraps for coffee cups

After stamping and cutting the cups (there's a tiny one on the inside coming up in the next pic) with the Coffee Cups Framelits, I assembled with liquid glue and adhered to the card with dimensionals. I added a heart from the Corrugated Elements pack.

To create the gift card pocket, I partially punched the 4 1/4" end of the base with the Pretty Label Punch, and adhered the 2" scored end to the inside with Tear & Tape Adhesive. I added the tiny "perk up" cup with a dimensional.

I finished the inside with a greeting from Merry Cafe' and snowflakes from the same set, stamped in Basic Black. I know black snowflakes might seem weird, but I liked them for my color scheme. Snowflakes are actually colorless, and snow reflects many colors, which just means you can stamp your snowflakes any color you want!

Want to hear a confession? I love smell of freshly ground coffee, love the smell of coffee perking, but can't really drink it because it gives me terrible heartburn, even when I load it with lots of creamer! I love stamping with both the Coffee Cafe' and Merry Cafe' stamp sets anyway!

Stampin’ Up! Monday Swap Day!

Posted on October 23, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is a fabulous day to share some fabulous swaps! As you know, I participate in a monthly swap where I make 21 swap the same and receive 20 different swaps in return. This year the swaps have been particularly fabulous, but if I don't add in a few extra swap days I'll not get to share them all with you. Hence the need for a Monday Swap Day now and then! I did get to stamp some over the weekend, in addition to hitting the Express Care for my sinus infections and getting a new phone (BIG SMILE) to replace the one dropped in the bathtub last week by my littlest baby granddaughter. The weather has not been very cooperative for me, though, so I've not been able to photograph any of my creations. I hope to get that done today so I have a new creation to share tomorrow!

So without further ado. . . . here we go!

First, a lovely fall card created with Colorful Seasons and the Baby Wipe technique:

The inside is just as lovely as the outside. I love Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Early Espresso together!

Next, Landa Cartwright also used Colorful Seasons, adding the Seasonal Layers thinlets to create a bouquet of lovely leaves!

Lorraine Duran combined the Paisley's & Poises greeting with the Gourd Goodness set, stamping the gourds and greeting first before embossing with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder. Old Olive 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon and a Pear Pizzazz leaf punched with the Leaf Punch pull it all together!

Finally, Cathy Miller used the Painted Harvest Bundle to create her Dutch Fold card. I love her combo of Tangerine Tango, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla!

Lorraine used a print from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper pack for the dutch doors.

Lifting the center flap reveals just how the three "doors" of this card combine to create a lovely whole!
