GV Blog Header

Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for May. This month our theme is 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek. We are so excited to be able to show you these amazing BRAND NEW products that you will be able to purchase on June 1st!
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Carol Payne Stamps, or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects. At the moment you are visiting Carol Payne.
For my Sneak Peek creation I took some inspiration from my sister Stamper's Dozen Blog Hopper, BJ Peters. BJ combined the new Painter's Palette and Love & Affection stamp sets to create a really awesome One-Sheet Wonder Class. I CASED her idea of combining those two stamp sets, as well as her color palette of Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, and Pear Pizzazz. I added my own twists to it by using a Basic Black card base, subtle splatters of Crumb Cake, and a fun fold!
Painter's Palette has a really fun easel image, so I decided to play on that and created an "Easel-Easel" card!

It looks like an ordinary card at first, but then when you open it, TA DA!

This color palette of Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, and Whisper White just screamed at me to add more Basic Black, so that's why I made it my easel card base. It''s simply an extra score line and an additional layer: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" and  8 1/4", with an added layer of Basic Black that starts out at 3 5/8" x 4 7/8".

The fonts of both stamp sets coordinate well. "sending a smile your way" from Love & Affection is the perfect size for the "door stop" for the easel to stand.

LOTS of room for sentiments and a personal message too!
All of these products will be available to order in my online store on June 1st! www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
