Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there! My weekend was crazy busy! I spent a big chunk of Friday helping Jessica photograph an adorable set of newborn twin girls, then Saturday I made a batch of homemade pumpkin ice cream to take to Grace & Troy's 2nd Annual Pumpkin Palooza! Everything was pumpkin-themed, Pumpkin pizza, Pumpkin salad dressing & croutons, Pumpkin pasta, and of course yummy Pumpkin desserts! Then evening culminated with a Pumpkin-carving contest!

Sunday was spent with our church family at our Annual Homecoming service and "dinner on the grounds", then a lazy afternoon, including a little nap!

The handsome fella I'm sitting with at the Pumpkin Paloooza is my oldest son, Troy!

With all of that going on, I am just now getting back into the swing of things to post some swaps!

Today I want to share a couple of gorgeous fall swaps with the Gather Together Bundle.

This first swap did not have any creator's name. I love the combo of Merry Merlot and Copper! The Come To Gather Designer Paper inspired it all!

Stampin_up_gather_together_carolpaynestamps1

The copper foil paper was cut and embossed at the same time with Gathered Leaves dies.

This swap was created by Chris Kolly. Chris used two more prints from the Come to Gather Designer Paper along with the Word Wishes Bundle:

A Word Wishes die cut out "Thanksgiving", and the pumpkins were stamped and cut with the Gather Together Bundle.

Stampin’ Up! Everything Amazing for a Fall Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Everything Amazing for a Fall Birthday!

Hey there! The page turned while we slept and now it is October! October is my favorite month of the year. I love the bright blue skies, the crisp nights, warm afternoons, crunchy leaves, and the smell of everything fall in the air!

My card I'm sharing today is perfect for a fall birthday! I used Everything Amazing  with Buffalo Check for the background and Gather Together for the accents leaves.

Stampin_up_everything_amazing_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped "Amazing" with the Stamparatus and Versamark ink, then heat-embossed with white powder. I used the Stamparatus again for perfect placement of the "wishing you an" and "birthday" with Soft Suede ink.

Stampin_up_everything_amazing_carolpaynestamps2

I pressed the Gathered Leaves dies onto the ink pad before laying on the card stock and cutting with the die-cutting machine. I used the Soft Suede leaf to help close the card front.

Stampin_up_everything_amazing_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped-off the Terracotta Tile leaf before stamping on the Very Vanilla inside, then stamped "wishing you well" with Soft Suede ink.

Stampin’ Up! Everything Amazing for Grace!

Stampin’ Up! Everything Amazing for Grace!

Hey there! As you probably know if you follow my blog at all, I love to make special birthday cards for all of my family members, and I'm not making any exception for my new daughter-in-law, Grace!

Grace loves fall and everything pumpkin and pumpkin spice, so I created her card with Gather Together and Everything Amazing stamp sets. I used a color combo of Terracotta Tile, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla for a warm, fall feel.

Stampin_up_everything_amazing_carolpaynestamps1

I heat-embossed the greeting with white embossing powder, then added the words to customize the sentiment with Soft Suede ink. I used the Stamparatus to stamp both the large and smaller phrases to get abundant ink coverage as well as precise placement.

Stampin_up_everything_amazing_carolpaynestamps2

Generous sponging with Soft Suede ink and adding the scatterings of speckles adds to the grungy, shabby chic look!

Darcy & I hand-delivered this card to Grace on her birthday. I think she liked it!

Stampin’ Up! Gather Together Post-It Note Holder!

Stampin’ Up! Gather Together Post-It Note Holder!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you these adorable Post-it Note Holders I created with the All-Around Wreath Dies and Gather Together Bundle!

My first version features the wreath cut from both Cajun Craze and Crumb Cake card stock which has been sponged with Soft Suede ink and layered together with snippets of mini stampin' dimensionals.

Stampin_up_gather_together_post_it_carolpaynestamps1

I colored the pearls with a Light Cajun Craze Stampin' Blend. The greeting from Gather Together was stamped on Soft Suede with Soft Suede ink before cutting with the Gathered Leaves Die. I generously sponged everything on these projects!

Stampin_up_gather_together_post_it_carolpaynestamps3

My second version is nearly identical, with the exception of Basic Adhesive-backed Sequins that I colored with the Light Cajun Craze Stampin' Blend.

Stampin_up_gather_together_post_it_carolpaynestamps6

Stampin’ Up! Gather Together

Stampin’ Up! Gather Together

Hey there! I'm trying really, really hard to keep from posting Christmas projects until I've shared a few more fall ones, so today I'm sharing a Gather Together card I created for a swap. { I participate in swaps so I'll have fun things to share here for Sunday Swap Days!}

Stampin_up_gather_together_carolpaynestamps1

I combined the Gather Together Bundle (stamps & dies save you 10% over ordering individually) with the Stylish Scroll embossing folder and Heirlooms Frames Dies and 3-D Embossing Folders. My colors are Terracotta Tile, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla.

Stampin_up_gather_together_carolpaynestamps2

I have directions to make this card posted lower down in this post, including how I "stamped" with the leaf dies!

The inside sentiment is also from Gather Together.

Stampin’ Up! Masked Nature’s Beauty!

Stampin’ Up! Masked Nature’s Beauty!

Hey there! Today I'm sharing my final creations with Nature's Beauty. (at least for now!) I wanted to do something a little more technique-y, so I decided to use another one of the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks and Sponge Brayers.

I created two different color combos. The first with Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, and Pretty Peacock:

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps5

And the second with Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, and Cajun Craze:

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps1

I cut a mask from a Post-it Note with the largest leaf from the Gathered Leaves Dies, positioned it in the center of the Very Vanilla layer, then laid one of the Pattern Party Decorative Masks over it. I then used Sponge Brayers to add color, starting with Pear Pizzazz in across the lower left corner, Old Olive in the middle, and ending with Pretty Peacock across the upper right corner.

Mask 1

After removing the mask I stamped the deer and "wishing you" in the open leaf-shaped center with Early Espresso and Tuxedo Black ink.

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps2-1

I omitted the "well" from "wishing you well" from Gather Together by simply only inking the portion I wanted on the inkpad. It's easy to do when the stamp in photopolymer/clear!

Wishing you 1

Inside I used a sentiment from Perennial Birthday.
