Becky Anderson used Everyday Chic Designer Paper from the Annual Catalog, Red Foil punched with the Sweetheart Punch and a Tea Lace Doily:

Inside she used a sentiment from the Occasions Catalog set, Suite Sayings, with red foil punched with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack heart punch:

Joanne Cantrell chose the Botanical Gardens suite from the Occasions catalog for her creation, and used the "happy day" phrase from the Perfect Pairings Sale-a-bration set for the greeting:

Inside we left blank so it can be used for any "happy day"!

Finally for today, Linda Reaney also used the Botanical Gardens suite, adding in images from the Botanicals for You Sale-a-bration set and a greeting from Perfect Pennants, which is found in the Annual Catalog:

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on January 24, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday, which means it's time to share some swaps! yay!

First, Ronda Wade used the Mini Treat Bag Die to create this adorable wedding gift card holder:

Silver and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper give the perfect amount of sparkle. I love the way she combined the Sweetheart Punch with the Itty Bitty Accents flower punch!

NOTE: the only component of this swap that is no longer available is the Silver Cording.

Clean and simple is the style of this Blended Bloom thank you card that unfortunately lost it's creator's name. The Black and White of the bloom is the perfect contrast ot the Bermuda Bay and Calypso Coral.

Chandra Hefta combined Garden in Bloom with a Butterflies Thinlets die for her bright and cheery creation:

Vera Milne chose the Side-step fancy fold to highlight the Get Well Soup single stamp. Bermuda Bay Color Collection Designer Series Paper lends cheery "pop" to the black-and-white:

Finally, Joy Barkofske combined Wild About Flowers with Butterfly Basics and the Bitty Butterfly Punch for her creation using Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Whisper White, and Always Artichoke:

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Posted on May 11, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there and good morning!I'm glad this rain held off until late in the afternoon yesterday. All the grand kids were able to play together and we had a little photo shoot! Here's I am with all six of my babies. They are all grown up now, but you know how it is, they will always be my babies!

They also surprised me with this:

The signatures are from my parents' marriage certificate and the date. It's one of those "I never knew I always wanted" kind of gifts! I was in tears when they gave it to me. I will treasure it forever!

Ok, now that you have endured my gushing, how about some swaps?

Kelly Acheson created a detachable bookmark card with the Dictionary Background (retiring) and Mother's Love from the Occasions Catalog, which is also retiring on June 2nd:

Pool Party, Whisper White, Basic Black card stocks with Memento Tuxedo Black, Pool Party, and Pearl Pizzazz inks. The Scalloped Tag Topper punch was used to create the top of the bookmark.

Next, Linda Pagel created this pull-up pop-up card with the Just Kidding stamp set. She used the retiring Chevron Background (retiring) on the Melon Mambo layer with Melon Mambo ink, attaching to the Bermuda Bay card base.

The card pulls up and pops out!

Laura Milligan used the same Just Kidding set for her creation:

She used Pacific Point, Basic Black, Real Red, and Whisper White with a bit of Back to Black Designer Paper (retiring)

Finally, Tamie Ackerson used an old favorite, Summer Silhouettes for her soft and pretty birthday card:

A bit of Pool Party 1/4" Cotton Ribbon for the bow:

"Make a Wish" from Perfect Pennants:

Stampin’ Up! A Round Array Meets This Day!

Posted on March 27, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I decided to play with the layout I used for yesterday's card again, but had to throw several attempts in the trash (yes, I do make icky cards sometimes!) I kept trying to use a daisy theme with the layout and kept coming up with nothing I was happy with. Ever have one of those days?

I think the problem was I was trying so hard I wasn't paying attention to a solution that was right under my nose!

The solution was the This Day Project Life Mini Card Collection, a freebie with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure. I had chosen this collection with one of my orders, then promptly ignored how CUTE this pack of cards is!

I opened the pack, and In just a few minutes my card was born!

By cutting down the cards in the collection and using several of the coordinating patterns, this card finally went together in a snap!

I added a bloom created with the Bouquet Bigz L Die, and a 7/8" Scalloped Circle-punched greeting from A Round Array. After I glue-dotted the Coastal Cabana and Island Indigo blooms together, I scored down the center of each petal with the stylus from the Simply Scored Scoring Board and gently pinched/folded the edges of the petals. Surprisingly, Stampin' Up! doesn't offer a 5/8" Circle Punch, which is the size I needed to punch out the "you make me smile" from A Round Array, so I hand-cut it with Paper Snips.

Inside I used a sentiment from Feel Goods with Island Indigo ink, accented with a stamp from the Mixed Bunch set and Crushed Curry ink. The 1/2" wide strip on the left side of the Whisper White panel is also from the This Day Project Life Mini Card Collection.

That's all for now. This card was SUPER EASY once I stopped trying so hard!
