Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there! We had a FULL day yesterday! We celebrated October birthdays at our house AND took our annual family pictures! I'm excited to see how they turn out! It's extra-nice to be the photographer's mom!

With all of the prep for that going on, I never got a chance to blog my usual Sunday Swap Day, so I'm going to share it with you today!

First, a z-fold card created by Tandra Boyer with the Merry Christmas to All Bundle and All Is Bright Designer Series Paper:

Stampin_up_merry_christmas_to_all_with_all_is_bright_designer_series_paper_carolpaynestamps1

She stamped inside with a Timeless Tidings sentiment:

Stampin_up_merry_christmas_to_all_with_timeless_tidings_carolpaynestamps1

Next, an anonymous creator also used the Timeless Tidings set with All Is Bright Designer Series Paper for their Diagonal Fold card:

Stampin_up_timeless_tidings_with_all_is_bright_designer_series_paper_carolpaynestamps1

Kathy Beck combined the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder with Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper, Joyous Noel 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper and a tree cut with an In the Woods Framelit Die. She finished off her tree with a splatter of Bright Copper Shimmer Paint!

Stampin_up_winter_woods_with_joyous_noel_specialty_designer_series_paper_carolpaynestamps1

Finally, Cindy Ewertz used the Dashing Along Designer Paper (a Host Exclusive in September and now retired) with the Maps, Etc. Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and Winter Woods stamp set to create her diagonal fold card. She added a few rhinestones and a 3/16" Braided Linen Trim bow.

Stampin’ Up! Spirited Snowmen Ornament!

Stampin’ Up! Spirited Snowmen Ornament!

Hey there! I couldn't resist using the Spirited Snowmen set to create an ornament or two! I matches the card I shared with you yesterday! One thing I noticed is how different the snowman looks simply by changing the placement on the paper!

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_ornament_with_shimmery_white_embossing_paste_carolpaynestamps1

 I sandwiched 3/16" Braided Trim between the oval layers for the ornament hanger. This would also make an adorable gift tag!

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_ornament_with_shimmery_white_embossing_paste_carolpaynestamps2

 To color this fellow, I first stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, which is perfectly formulated to come in contact with the alcohol-based Stampin' Blends, which is what I used to color the snowman hat, scarf, arms, buttons, and nose! I used a White Stampin' Chalk Marker to color the snowman head & body. A Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush lends snowy shimmer!

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_ornament_with_shimmery_white_embossing_paste_carolpaynestamps3

 I traced around the snowman with my Light Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends to give him more depth and a look of movement.

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_ornament_with_shimmery_white_embossing_paste_carolpaynestamps4

 I used a Palette Knife to smear the Shimmery White Embossing Paste on just about every edge on this ornament! I heat embossed "CHEER" with white powder before snipping one end into banner points and adding Shimmery White Embossing Paste "snow".

Stampin’ Up! Spirited Springy Snowmen Part TWO!

Stampin’ Up! Spirited Springy Snowmen Part TWO!

Hey there! Here's the second spring-y snowman card created with Spirited Snowmen, Buffalo Check, Timeless Tidings, and the Blizzard Thinlet Die:

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps6

This snowman jiggles, wiggles, and springs!

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps8

Stamped with Memento Black ink, colored with Stampin' Blends, and cut out with Paper Snips. I painted him with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps7

I punched the Timeless Tidings sentiment with the 2 1/4" Circle Punch, then cut a scalloped circle from Bermuda Bay with a Layering Circle Framelit.

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps9

Inside I used a Timeless Tidings sentiment, adding brayered Pool Party snowflakes.

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps10

TO MAKE THE SPRING!

I needed thin wire, but didn't have any, so I stripped the cover from a twist-tie, then wrapped about 3 1/2 inches around a paintbrush handle. I slid the spring off the handle.

Stampin_up_spring_carolpaynestamps1

Four 3/4" white circles and four 3/4" Multipurpose Adhesive circles. Pierce a hole in the center of two white circles.

Stampin_up_spring_carolpaynestamps2

Thread the spring ends through the holes.

Stampin_up_spring_carolpaynestamps3

Add a Multi-purpose Adhesive circle to another white circle, remove the backing, adhere over the wire ends.

Stampin_up_spring_carolpaynestamps4

Add a final layer of adhesive sheet to the circles. I uncovered the stickiness to adhere the spring to the snowman and the card. These directions are paraphrased from Gillian Whitcombe, UK Stampin' Up! Demo.

Stampin’ Up! Spirited Springy Snowmen!

Stampin’ Up! Spirited Springy Snowmen!

Hey there! I've played with the Spirited Snowmen A LOT. This set is a MUST HAVE! I had fun making this little guy:

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps1

He shimmies with just a flick of your finger, thanks to a tiny custom-made spring!

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped Very Vanilla with the Buffalo Check background and Pool Party ink, then used a Sponge Brayer to roll Pool Party ink over a snowflake stencil created with the Blizzard Thinlet. I cut it with a Layering Oval Framelit to create the background for  the springy snowman.

Snowflake stencil

After stamping the snowman with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloring with Stampin' Blends, I cut him out with Paper Snips.

Paper-cutting Tip: Cut slightly outside the lines of the image, leaving a narrow edge of white all around. This gives your eye the impression that the cutting is smoother than it might not really be. As you cut on the curves, move the PAPER more than you move the scissors. This also helps you to cut more smoothly!

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_cutting_carolpaynestamps1

I adhered him to the card front with the custom-made spring.

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps3

I added a greeting from Beautiful Blizzard and embellishments cut with the Blizzard Thinlets Die. I added rhinestones for extra sparkle, of course!

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I used another Beautiful Blizzard sentiment and more brayering with the snowflake stencil.

Stampin_up_spirited_snowmen_carolpaynestamps5

Wondering about that spring? I have another Spirited Snowman card to share tomorrow, AND a mini-spring tutorial!

Stampin’ Up! Broadway Birthday for Harriett!

Stampin’ Up! Broadway Birthday for Harriett!

Hey there! Over the weekend I attended the 80th birthday party for my Sister-in-law, Harriett, so of course I made her a special card. The Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper is simply gorgeous, so I used more than one print from the pack to create an easel fold card. I also used the Broadway Lights Framelits to cut Silver Glimmer Paper to frame the
"Hooray"from the Broadway Birthday stamp set.

Stampin_up_broadway_birthday_carolpaynestamps1

I love this phrase that sets the stage for the easel-stop sentiment . .

Stampin_up_broadway_birthday_carolpaynestamps3

"Wish" is cut with another Broadway Lights Framelit from Lovely Lipstick Designer Series Paper. I added rhinestones for a jazzy "Great White Way" light bulb effect!

Stampin_up_broadway_birthday_carolpaynestamps4

The candles and the sentiments are all part of the Broadway Birthday set. So fun to create with!

Stampin_up_broadway_birthday_carolpaynestamps5

The easel-fold is such a great presentation card, perfect for the mantle or on a bedside table!
