Stampin’ Up! More Cards for Stampin’ In the New Year!

Stampin’ Up! More Cards for Stampin’ In the New Year!

Hey there! How are you on this last day of 2018? My wish for you in 2019 is a happy, healthy New Year, sprinkled with all of God's best!

2018 was a marvelous year for the Payne Clan:

Blessing #1: Our oldest son, Troy, began dating Grace, the girl who will become our first daughter-in-law in March of 2019!

Blessing #2: Our 10th grandchild, Cyndal Jade, was born in July!

Blessing #3: Also in July our middle son, Logan, began dating Faith, one of Grace's best friends, and she will become our second daughter-in-law later in 2019!

Along the way we've had many more blessings: healthy, growing grandchildren, a 7 day trip on an Alaska Cruise for Mark & I, becoming empty-nester's for the first time in almost 40 years, just to name a few!

Here's our Payne Clan Christmas Card for 2018:

SP-2011Holiday-5x7 front - Copy

Just the grandkids:

SP-2011Holiday-5x7-9-back - Copy

Now the real reason you came to my blog today, to see some cute cards! These three cards are the rest of the ones we will be making at my Stampin' In The New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack TOMORROW afternoon here at my house! Contact me to attend! Refer to yesterday's blog post for all of the details HERE.

Stampin’ Up! Geared Up Garage for Sunday Swap Day December 30th!

Stampin’ Up! Geared Up Garage for Sunday Swap Day December 30th!

Hey there! On this last Sunday of 2018 I have a collection of  6 different cards created with the Classic Garage Suite from the 2019 Occasions Catalog! This suite will also be featured at my Stampin' In the New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack on New Year's Day!

First, Kim Vogel embossed the Basic Black background with the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impressions folder before adding layers of Classic Garage 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon, and an adorable silver wrench from the Classic Garage Metal Elements.

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps1

Next, Kelly Acheson used the Big Shot Embossing Mats to use a Garage Gears Thinlets Die to emboss the Basic Gray background of her swap. The car die cuts out both the stamped image from Geared Up Garage and the car image in one of the Classic Garage 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper prints!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps2

Lori Mueller created a fun pocket card, heat embossing the father's day image with silver powder. A Garage Gears Thinlits Die cuts it out too!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps3

The card pulls out. This card would work perfect as a gift card holder!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps4

Karen Titus cut out one of the Classic Garage designer series paper prints with the Garage Gears Thinlit to create the focal image of her z-fold card.

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps5

Another swap by Kim Vogel. Kim cut out Real Red gears with the Garage Gears Thinlits to peek out from behind her car focal image!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps6

Finally, Karen Titus created an easy flap-fold card with the Classic Garage Suite!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps7

Stampin’ Up! So Hoppy Together for Jaxon!

Stampin’ Up! So Hoppy Together for Jaxon!

Hey there! My grandson, Jaxon, was born on December 26th, so we celebrated his birthday yesterday. For Jaxon's card I used the Sale-abration set, So Hoppy Together and new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies:

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps1-1

The frog print from retiring Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper coordinates perfectly with the So Hoppy Together frogs. This paper is on the Discounted Retiring List and is only available while-supplies-last. Order it in my online store today!

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the So Hoppy for You frog, the flies, and the greeting all with Memento Tuxedo Black ink so I could color with my Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. I used the Granny Apple Green Light & Dark Markers and the Light Highland Heather to color the frog and the flies.

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I use new stamps from the Occasions Catalog bundle, Well Said.

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps4

I must say the die I used to cut out the Gorgeous Grape "happy" was a dream to use! The word practically fell out of the die!

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps5

My favorite thing about this card, though, is this phrase, also from the Well Said Bundle!

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps6

Your shopping list for today! The first three items of this table will be available to order on January 3rd, but you need to order the discounted Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper NOW before it sells out or goes away on January 2nd!
