Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 19th on Monday the 20th!

Hey there! We celebrated two birthdays yesterday! Two of my sons have birthdays this week;  Troy's birthday was yesterday and Logan's is on Wednesday. With both of their birthdays so close to Thanksgiving (Logan was born the day before Thanksgiving) their celebrations have sometimes gotten lost in the shuffle of the holidays. We decided to not let that happen this year!

This is a good group of cards, so let's get started!

First, a lovely Carols of Christmas swap featuring the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Marbled Background. Silver Glimmer paper, Silver Sequin Trim, and Rhinestone Basic Jewels add fun sparkle. This card was created by Cathy Miller.

Next, an Eclipse technique Christmas card using the Large Letter Alphabet Framelits and Christmas Pines stamps. Created by Landa Cartwright

"to the world" is from Hearts Come Home.

Carol Slack sponged a background of Pool Party and Dapper Denim, then subtly stamped snowflakes with Whisper White Craft ink. She cut the houses and church with the Hometown Greetings Edgelits, the tree with a Card Front Builder Dies. She added little pieces of So Saffron card stock behind the windows to make light "shine" through. The greeting is from Star of Light in the Annual Catalog.

Lovely as a Tree has been in the catalog since before I became a demonstrator over 15 years ago, but it's still a favorite of just about everyone! The creator of this easel card stamped the Night of Navy card base with the Sheet Music background, then heat-embossed the tree with white powder on vellum. This card could easily be a luminaria; all it needs is a battery votive inside!

Silver 1/8" ribbon, a Foil Snowflake, and rhinestones add sparkle. The greeting is from Christmas Quilt.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 12th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 12th!

Hey there! I'm flying home today from the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live in Salt Lake City today, but I scheduled this blog post last night so you would still have new swaps to see!

Today I have another collection of fall-themed swaps that are really good ones!

First, Jan Rodrian used a Sponge Brayer to expertly blend So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze for this amazing fall card created with the Colorful Seasons bundle.

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_carolpaynestamps1

Next, Tamie Ackerson combined the Eclipse and Baby Wipe techniques for her card with the Colorful Seasons and Painted Harvest stamp sets. She cut the letters for "FALL" with the Large Letters Thinlets dies.

Susie Wood used the Masking Tape technique with Gourd Goodness and Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets for a lovely thank-you card. The Seaside Textured Impressions folder provides texture and Gold Faceted Gems add sparkle.

Ruth Ann Lilley used the Polished Stone technique on a layer of glossy card stock before stamping over it with the Painted Harvest stamp set. The Label Me Pretty set and Pretty Label Punch created the greeting.

Karen Kurz heat-embossed a Thankful Thoughts greeting with gold powder then layered over Painted Autumn Designer Paper and leaves punched with the Leaf Punch.

Finally, Deb MaCahan used the Tarnished Foil technique with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. She used gold, silver, and copper embossing powders to get this look. She then layered over a strip of Crumb Cake she had stamped with the Tree Rings background.

Stampin’ Up! Layered Die Cuts from Vacation Stamping School!

Stampin’ Up! Layered Die Cuts from Vacation Stamping School!

Hey there! Good News! My washing machine "may" be fixed! I say "may" because I've had the repairman twice this week! It's working now, but if something else goes wrong a new washer will be in my future.

Today I'm sharing samples from a Demonstration at Vacation Stamping School by Shirley Casey. Similar, and possibly the same, as the Eclipse technique, it's a fun way to add letters to create words on your card front!

Stampin_up_layered_die_cuts_carolpaynestamps

Shirley had a ton of samples. This one used snowflake images from Snowflake Sentiments and the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder. She used Berry Burst, Whisper White, Soft Sky, and Marina Mist for her "COLD" theme:

Stampin_up_eclipse_carolpaynestamps2

A darling little card using the Santa's Suit set. To create these cards, Shirley stamped the images on the card front before cutting out the letters.

Stampin_up_eclipse_carolpaynestamps3

Merry Cafe' stamp set. Shirley lines up the letter dies with the aid of a ruler, then holds them all in place with washi tape while she runs through the Big Shot. A couple more of the same letter are adhered under the top letter for depth.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Eclipse!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Eclipse!

Hey there! At the same time I was creating my Painted Harvest Shutter card for the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop I also created today's card with the Eclipse technique:

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps1

It's a little bit modified from the original Eclipse technique because I didn't add the pieces back inside the "Happy Birthday". After I layered the stamped piece onto three more pieces cut with the Happy Birthday Thinlet, it was difficult to insert the pieces back in. I guess my layers were not perfectly lined up everywhere, but I think I like having the center open so the Fresh Fig color shines through. I embossed the stamped layer with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder before adhering to the card base, as well as sponged a little Crumb Cake to emphasize the embossing.

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps2

I used the same sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet for the inside that I used in my shutter card a few days ago.  You can see that card HERE.  

I think this sentiment was probably intended for a wedding, but these wishes are birthday appropriate too!
