Alaska Incentive Trip Swaps with One For All and Petal Palette!

Posted on August 24, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The only requirement of the Alaska Incentive Trip swaps was that all of the products used must be current (not retired). This resulted in a wide variety of stamps, colors, embellishments, fun folds, and techniques!

The creator of this card used an ombre' technique to ink the One for All sentiment, then used a Pattern Party Decorative Mask with Shimmery White Embossing Paste to create the background:

I love the simplicity of this card, however, you will need to order the Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies BEFORE August 31st if you love the die-cut bow. These framelits are only available to order in August!

Lots of stitchin' going on with this Petal Palette card, but it's easy to do with the Stitched Shapes and Stitched Labels dies!

This kind of blurry (sometimes I touched the wrong setting on my camera while onboard the ship!) swap was created with the Love What You Do set, Petals & More Thinlets, and the new Thank You Thinlets die!

This swap was created with the Country Livin' set and Wood Textures 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. I just love those broken-in cowboy boots, don't you? The leafy spray was cut with a Petals & More Thinlets die.

Surprise me on my birthday (it's today!) by shopping and placing an order in my online store!

Lilypad Lake Alaska Swaps!

Posted on August 21, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop starts this afternoon at 4 p.m. here on my blog, but until then I have more creations from the swap boards to share with you. All five of today's cards are created with Lilypad Lake and the bundled Lakeside Framelits Dies! This bundle was one of the first ones I ordered when demonstrators were allowed to pre-order!

The creator of this cards sponged So Saffron ink on So Saffron card stock to help get the setting sun look. She also used a circle mask to sponge around for the sun. The sailboat silhouettes are simply cut from black cardstock!

The Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions folder creates a look of waves.

Sponging through a circle stencil makes a great sunrise or sunset!

Using the generation stamping technique is a great way to stamp these waves! "Generation stamping" means the image was not re-inked between stamping, so the color keeps getting a light shade as it is stamped up the card front.

Glossy card stock and an Itty Bitty Greetings sentiment add a lot to this card!

Here's a quick supply list to help you place your order:

Lilypad Lake Clear-Mount Bundle [148366]	Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [143699]	Layering Circle Framelits Dies [141705]	Classic Label Punch [141491]
Detailed Trio Punch [146320]	8-1/2" X 11" Glossy White Cardstock [144240]

Birthday Card Swap Ideas From the Alaska Incentive Trip!

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! In case you are wondering why I no longer use "Stampin' Up!" as the beginning of my blog post title, I recently found out that using "Stampin' Up!" in my URL was prohibited in the Demonstrator Manual. I want to be compliant with all of Stampin' Up!'s rules, so I immediately made the change. I'm STILL using ALL Stampin' Up! ALL the time, so not to worry!

Today I have a fun group of birthday-themed swap inspiration to share with you!

First, a cute little pink (but not drunk!) elephant from A Little Wild combined with Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper. The greeting is from Special Celebrations.

Next, this swap combines the Best Bunny Bundle (stamps and punch) with Pocketfull of Sunshine!

Bike Ride Stamps and Build a Bike Framelits are combined with Detailed With Love and the Detailed Trio Punch:

The Botanical Bliss Bundle (stamps & framelits) are combined with Stitched Labels Framelits:

Sponging, punches, and creative use of the Fine Tip Glue Pen combine with a Special Celebrations greeting for a lovely card!

Finally, a sentiment from Treat Time was used to embellish this easy treat holder:
