Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Valentines for Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Valentines for Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there and welcome to Sunday Swap Day on my blog!

First, Judi Anderson used Forever Lovely with All My Love Designer Series Paper for her creation, with a a fresh color combo of Coastal Cabana,Lovely Lipstick, and Whisper White. She combined a Stitched Shapes Framelit with a Layering Circle Framelit, then colored a few pearls with Stampin' Blends.

Next, Barb Mullikin combined Forever Lovely with the Meant to Be bundle. I love that both Forever Lovely and Meant to Be are not strictly Valentine sets! Barb's color combo is Lovely Lipstick with Crumb Cake, Whisper White, and touches of Flirty Flamingo. She used Be Mine Stitched Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Square Framelits, Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions, and Grapefruit Grove 1/8" ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack.

Laura Milligan used the Lovely Lipstick 1/2" Ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack to accent her Forever Lovely card. She used the Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies to cut out the bloom and the foliage, and accented a corner of the Crumb Cake layer with another Lovely Flowers die.

Finally, Kathy Morgan also used the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies to create her Valentine. Switch out the heart print for floral from the All My Love Designer paper and you could have a birthday, anniversary, or thinking of you card with this sentiment.

Forever Lovely is a"DistINKtive" stamp set which is specially created to have depth built in when you just stamp one time. You can see it with this hearts group that Kathy stamped on the inside of the card:

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Romance!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Romance!

Hey there! Welcome to the place where I share my paper crafting excitement and creations using only Stampin' Up! products! Today's card is created with the Floral Romance Suite on page 10 of the brand-new Occasions Catalog. This bundle was at the top of my "must-have" list as soon as I leafed through the catalog for the first time. Take a look and you'll see why:

Stampin_up_wonderful_romance_carolpaynestamps1

I love the color palette of this suite: Fresh Fig, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Petal Pink, Sahara Sand, and Whisper White!

Stampin_up_wonderful_romance_carolpaynestamps2

So much of this card is self-explanatory, but just let me make sure you know that the only fussy-cutting I did was to finish cutting out the blooms after I cut them out as much as possible with the Wonderful Floral Framelit die. After the open-work fat-oval die cut out the sentiment from Whisper White card stock, I sponged the edges with Sahara Sand ink. I wound Linen Thread several times around the stems before tying in a bow.

Stampin_up_wonderful_romance_carolpaynestamps3

The "trellis" look after cutting with the Wonderful Floral die was what instantly sold me on this bundle!

Stampin_up_wonderful_romance_carolpaynestamps5

I used a sentiment from Life is Grand to finish the inside.

Stampin’ Up! Faux Denim Geared Up Garage!

Stampin’ Up! Faux Denim Geared Up Garage!

Hey there! The long-awaited day is finally here! The Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalogs are LIVE for customer orders!

While messing around on Pinterest, I found Australian Gail Ellis' blog, Blue Rose Paper Treasures.  Gail featured an easy technique, "Faux denim", requiring only cardstock and an inkpad!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps1-1

I started with Balmy Blue cardstock, then swiped the open Night of Navy inkpad across the layer several times. I embossed the layer with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions folder. I cut a silver foil layer with a Rectangle Stitched Framelit, and cut the Night of Navy "happy" with a Well Written Framelit.

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps5-1

After faux denim-ing a smaller piece of Balmy Blue, I rubbed with an Embossing Buddy to dry up the ink. I stamped the Geared Up Garage car with Versamark and heat embossed with silver powder. It was easy to cut out the car with the Garage Gears Framelit die.

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps4

The inside sentiment is a combo of Well Said stamps and Well Written die. These are combined into a bundle so you can save 10%. I added a couple of Night of Navy "oil spills" and some silver foil gears for "pop".

Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog Retiring in Review!

Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog Retiring in Review!

Hey there! Today is the last day to order from the 2018 Holiday Catalog, so I decided to do a little "review" of some of the retiring products by featuring some of my favorite projects I have posted. You may just find something you need to order today before they retire for good!

First, the sort-of Halloween set, Still Night. I love the owl and the branch! The bat punch used is also retiring. You can find the full post HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833022ad369f60e200c-450wi

Another fun Halloween bundle of stamps and dies is Cauldron Bubble that's also retiring after today.  Find the full post HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833022ad3902ad5200d-450wi

One of my favorite sets from the Holiday Catalog, Spirited Snowmen, is retiring. I'm so sorry to see it go!

The first of several posts with this set can be found HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833022ad3b675f9200b-450wi

I loved making cards and ornaments with these snowmen! See more HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833022ad3baf3e5200b-450wi

The Tags & Tidings Bundle is another favorite. You can cut 16 tags all at the same time with this stamp and die or simply stamp it to make fun cards! One of my posts with this set is found HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833022ad3c1263f200b-450wi

Finally, the Peaceful Noel stamp set and Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper I used to create this card are both going away after today. Consult my post HERE, then go to my online store to shop the Year-End Closeouts!

Stampin’ Up! Incredible Like You!

Stampin’ Up! Incredible Like You!

Hey there! On this first day of 2019 I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! I'm also sharing three cards created with the Incredible Like You set!

First, I received this card by Karen Titus in a swap. Karen used a Whisper White Thick card base, layered on an Old Olive square cut with the largest Stitched Shapes square framelit. After stamping the two-step flower from Incredible Like you with Melon Mambo, Karen added Old Olive leaves and  cut with the same Stitched Shapes square framelit. She added the greeting, also from Incredible Like You, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and a Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dot for sparkle.

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps6

For my first inspired creation I embossed the white background with the new Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions folder and used Balmy Blue Gingham Gala 6" x 6" Designer Paper for the background square. I stamped-off the Mint Macaron leaves once before stamping between the Flirty Flamingo flowers.

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps7

I made sure I stamped the greeting BEFORE embossing with the Lace Dynamic folder. I added a Frosted Flower Embellishment in Petal Pink. Frosted Flowers are self-adhesive, making application a snap!

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps9

The card we will be making at my Stampin' In The New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack was created with Grapefruit Grove Gingham Gala Designer Paper and the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps1

The two-step blooms from Incredible Like You don't have to be stamped-off because they are created so the solid image automatically stamps lighter. When you stamp the detail image on top it is the darker version of the same ink!

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps2

I still used the same greeting and Petal Pink Frosted Flower Embellishment:

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps3

I borrowed a sentiment from Wonderful Moments for the inside.

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps4

Incredible Like You is the companion stamp set to the Incredible Like You Project Kit on page 21 of the New Occasions Catalog, available to order on January 3rd!
