Stampin’ Up! Merry Little Labels For the Mam’s!

Posted on August 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Anyy event I attend with my team, the Yes Mam! Stampers, I try to give them a gift. Three of my Mam's went to Vacation Stamping School with me on Saturday, so when I found these cute spiral-bound notebooks at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago, I knew I had to make tags to mach each one!

The cover of this one reminded me of our Wood Words stamp set and the coordinating Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. I heat embossed "just FOR YOU" from the Holiday Catalog Merry Little Labels with white powder on Chocolate Chip card stock, then punched with the Holiday Catalog Every Label Punch. I punched two Whisper White Everyday Labels to adhere behind, then looped a piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon, securing with liquid glue. I adhered all to a Chocolate Chip base cut with a Lots of Labels Framelit. I attached the tag to the spiral with new Jute Twine from the Holiday Catalog.

For the "Creativity Takes Courage" notebook I heat embossed the sentiment with gold powder on Whisper White before punching with the Everyday Label Punch. I matted it with a couple of Basic Black Everyday Labels, then mounted it on a Gold Foil Snowflake, also from the Holiday Catalog. I used a Basic Black tag base cut with a Lots of Labels framelit and attached it to the notebook with Gold 1/8" Metallic Ribbon.

I LOVE these snowflakes! There are 12 silver and 12 gold in the package. You will see me using these A LOT this fall!

The Tag I created for the "make today Amazing" notebook uses many of the same supplies as before, but I flipped a gold snowflake over and used the WHITE SIDE. This gives you THREE color options!

I embossed the sentiment with Gold on Crumb Cake, and cut the tag base from Gold Foil. I tied this one on the spine with Gold 3/8" Metallic-edged ribbon.

Posted on August 10, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We made today's card last month at the Cozy Table class with the Flower Shop set:

We embossed the Pool Party layer with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions folder, added a strip of Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Paper and a piece of Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon to coordinate with the Tranquil Tide card base and the ink used to stamp the two Flower Shop blooms. We did lots of sponging on the edges of the card layers, and blooms before adhering the blooms together and to the card with a dimensional. We added a Clear Faceted Gem to the center. We had this sympathy sentiment and a happy birthday one from Rose Garden to choose from, punched with the Pretty Label Punch.

Inside we used another sentiment from Rose Wonder and lots of sponging.

Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons For the August Stamp Camp!

Posted on August 8, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm pausing my "stamping my way through the catalog" series for just a bit. I have a few cards I need to share with you before I get too far behind and forget about them, but the card I'm sharing with you today is the first one I created for my "Colorful Seasons" stamp camp next week:

I used Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper in the Tangerine Tango color, Tangerine Tango, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso card stock, and Copper Foil Sheets to create a one panel Waterfall card.

"Life is a beautiful thing" is from Colorful Seasons. The intricate leaf and the solid leaves were cut with the Seasonal Layers Thinlets in the Colorful Seasons Bundle.

I used the Scalloped Tag Topper to punch the end of the pull. Copper 1/8" Trim coordinates perfectly!

The Colorful Seasons class will be held at my house August 18 & 19th. We will make 5 cards with the Colorful Seasons bundle for $15, or free with a $40 product order placed at class. If you are local to me, RSVP!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Lemon Zest!

Posted on August 6, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy Sunday Swap Day! Yesterday my husband and I traveled to Eastern Kentucky to visit the Creation Museum. It was an amazing experience to see the Bible, particularly Genesis presented in a way that explains many of the questions we all wonder about: Where did the world come from? God spoke. How long did it take the world to be created? Six literal days. How old is the world? About 6,000 years. How do dinosaurs fit into the Creation story and what happened to them? Dinosaurs were one of the "kinds" that were created by God, they were on the ark, and became extinct after the flood, probably due to the changed world after the flood. And that's just a FEW of the questions that were explained! We are going to see the Ark Encounter today. It's a full-scale replica of the ark, according the the dimensions God gave to Noah and recorded in the Bible. I'll report on this experience tomorrow!

Meanwhile, here's a few cards created with the Lemon Zest bundle!

First, Linda Pagel used Lemon Zest and the Lemon Builder punch from the bundle to create her pocket birthday card.

She used Soft Sky, Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide and Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper.

This could be a birthday card for your hubby!

Next, Landa Cartwright combined the Lemon Zest Bundle with the cross-hatch image from Timeless Textures:

Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight, and some Berry Burst for the "pop"!

Finally, Deb McCahan used Embossing Past and a stencil to create the background for her "crate of lemons":

She used the Wood Crate Thinlets and Wood Textures Designer paper to create the crate:
