Stampin’ Up! Country Home is Carrying Over!

Posted on December 14, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Country Home stamp set is carrying over; you can still order it after the Holiday Catalog ends on January 2nd!

These cards were displayed at Vacation Stamping School back in August, so I don't have any creator's names, but they are lovely!

First, this card is beautifully watercolored with Stampin' Blends and has retiring Country Lane Designer Paper for the background.

This card also used retiring Country Lane Designer paper to create the "sunburst" effect!

It's possible all three of these cards were created by the same person since the "sunburst" technique was used on this one too. You really need to consider ordering a pack of this paper before it is gone forever. All retiring Holiday Catalog items are while-supplies-last.

This card features the "no line watercoloring" technique on the pitcher with the bouquet stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Watercolor Paper. I love the soft color contrast of the Mint Macaron card base and the Grapefruit Grove pitcher, and the Copper Foil strip embossed with the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder gives this card even more of a vintage look.

The card was displayed with a background from the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper and a strip of retiring Galvanized Metallic Paper embossed with a Nature's Roots Framelit and the Big Shot Embossing Mats. The rolled flowers were also created from Nature's Poem paper and the leaves are stamped with Rooted in Nature images and cut out with Nature's Roots Framelits. The designer paper, stamps, and Leaves Trinkets used are all from the Annual Catalog.

The last Country Home Sample features a Copper Foil background embossed with the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions folder, then sponged with StazOn Jet Black ink. The milk can is heat-embossed with Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala!

Posted on December 13, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm switching gears today to share a card I created with new products from the upcoming 2019 Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs. Demonstrators are preordering from both catalogs right now, but you can start ordering on January 3rd!

We'll make this card at my "Stampin' In The New Year" Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack on January 1st with the Butterfly Gala Bundle and Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper:

I embossed the Whisper White background with the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I stamped the Butterfly Gala butterflies and greeting with Memento Tuxedo Black ink so I could color them with both Light and Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends. I painted both butterflies with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for some shine. I added a 1/2" x 2" piece of Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the tag. The Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper is only available from January 3rd through March 31st as a free gift you can choose when you place a $50 order.

I created the feathery bow by cutting a length of new Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon in half, tying a bow, then coloring lightly with the Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blend. To get the feathery look I gently pulled the fibers apart before adhering to the top of the Scallop Tag Topper-punched tag with a glue dot.

Inside I stamped another Butterfly Gala sentiment, then added butterflies with stamped-off Highland Heather ink.

I used a 1" x 5 1/4" strip of Botanical Butterflies Designer Paper to coordinate the outside and the inside.

I stamped more butterflies with full-strength Highland Heather ink.

Shopping List! Just remember, the Butterfly Gala Bundle and the Botanical Butterfly paper isn't orderable until January 3rd!

Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [147923]	Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Bundle [150599]	Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper [149622]

Stampin’ Up! Snowmen Families!

Posted on December 11, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you a couple of my favorite Christmas decorations. Both sets of these were created by my daughter, Alisa, and hold places of honor in our home every Christmas!

First, this glass jar snowmen family has been growing little by little ever since Alisa was in grade school. A room mother showed the 6th grade class how to make these with a glass jar, a tube sock, stuffing, and bits of fabric. Alisa started making these to represent each member of our family; as siblings marry and babies are born she creates another snowman to add to the family. Some of the snowmen have "grown"; as the tiniest snowmen grow they will be replaced with a slightly larger version of themselves. We've even had "babes-in-arms" snowbabies!

I added a special shelf this year to display this tiny snowmen family, also created by Alisa. With 7 grandchildren under the age of 7, the only way these little guys, formed with Sculpy Clay and baked in the oven, have a chance of survival is if they are kept out of reach! lol!

First, Mark & I:

Then Jessica's family: Johnny, Jessica, Maddie Kate, Ava, Cohen, and Jaxon:

Kimberly's group: Tony, Kimberly, Liam, and Darcy:

Alisa's bunch: Cody, Alisa, Oakley, Lando, & Ivory (baby Cyndal's snowbaby will be added by Christmas Day!)

"The boys": Troy, Logan, and Ben. (Grace will be added with Troy next Christmas!)

Considering how tiny these are (the tallest is only 1 1/2 inches high), the attention to detail is amazing!

Cohen's "newsboy" hat:

Ben's long stocking cap:

Darcy's pink peppermint stripes!

This little family will keep growing as we do! I love it!

Stampin’ Up! November Paper Pumpkin!

Posted on December 10, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Saturday I Christmas Shopped ALL DAY with my girls and got lots of names checked off my list. We walked and walked and walked all over the mall and made multiple trips out to the van to store our packages. My feet were cramping just a bit before we headed home, and buddy, I was tired yesterday! I have lots of things on the plate for today, but I just want to jump on here this morning and share a quick post with you about Paper Pumpkin!

As you may be aware, Paper Pumpkin is Stampin' Up!'s monthly crafting subscription box, and membership has EXPLODED in the past few years, so much that the December box was SOLD OUT before the November box shipped! Today would normally be the last day to subscribe to the December box, but no new subscriptions are being taken this month. I'm sure Stampin' Up! will increase their kit count for January, so you will be able to subscribe to the January box (each box contents is a surprise!) so for today I want to share with you the gorgeousness of the November Kit!

Instead of the normal red monthly box, Stampin' Up! dressed up the November box for Christmas!

This was my first glimpse of the November box!

The kit contained all of the supplies to make 10 absolutely beautiful Christmas cards!

Each kit contains an exclusive stamp set and a Stampin' Spot of ink (some kits contain two spots),

Here's one design:

The pine branches were laser-cut and ready to add to the card with glue dots. The Cherry Cobbler Linen Trim and self-adhesive gold sequins were included in the kit:

The second kit design featured placing the laser-cut branches in a wreath!

The banners were ready for stamping! It was quick and easy to put these ten cards together!

The stamp set included this fun inside sentiment, and the pine frond, which I stamped in my own Garden Green ink.

The included envelopes were already lined:

I used another sentiment from the kit on the flap:

Give Paper Pumpkin a try! Subscriptions for the January kit start tomorrow, December 11!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day December 9th!

Posted on December 9, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday and time for Sunday Swap Day! Yay!

Today's swaps are all from the Stampin' Up! OnStage in Orlando last month.

First a pretty snowy adaptation of the dancing girl from Beautiful You! Did you ever think Mrs. Clause was ever this young and thin? Me either, but just like the rest of us, she was!

ETA: Jennie Portonova is the creator of this card.

After a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend Marker colored her dress, the background was embossed the the Softly Falling Textured Impressions folder. The finishing touch is the white embossing paste added to create the fur trim! The greeting is from the retiring Holiday Catalog set, Making Christmas Bright.

The creator of this lovely card heat embossed the greeting from Merry Christmas to All with white powder on the Basic Black Stitched Label for a "chalkboard" look. The pinecones were cut with a Pretty Pines Thinlet and held together with a bow of 1/4" Copper Trim.

The Winter Woods Bundle was used to create this lovely gem. The tree is accented with Shimmery White Embossing Paste and Red Rhinestones add extra sparkle. The greeting is from Star of Light. Winter Woods stamps and Into the Woods Thinlets are not retiring, but the bundle of both together is!

Finally, a quick card using carrying-over Wishing You Well with retiring Festive Farmhouse Designer Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Retiring Holiday Catalog!!

Posted on December 8, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! With the Year End Closeout Sale in full swing, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you some swaps from OnStage using retiring Holiday Catalog products. Even though the Holiday Catalog runs through January 2nd, the retiring items are now while-supplies last!

First, this swap was created with the retiring Bring on the Presents Bundle of stamps and dies to make a cute little treat box!

You can order this bundle in my online store. Click on the pic to go there!

Next, retiring All Is Bright Designer Series Paper and Making Christmas Bright stamps were used to create this treat packet:

Click on the pics to find these retiring gems in my online store:

Finally for today, this little Scalloped Tag Topper Punch treat box features the Santa's Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper, which is already sold out. However, the Farmhouse Christmas (Happy Christmas Wishes) is NOT sold out and the starry flourish from Star of Light is still found in the Annual Catalog.

I think I have made a similar box in the past, so I'm going to try this one out again!

This color combo of Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, and Garden Green is just so festive!

Your shopping list for today:

Bring On The Presents Photopolymer Bundle [149926]	Making Christmas Bright Photopolymer Bundle [149947]	All Is Bright 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [147892]
