Stampin’ Up! No April Fool These Projects Were Made By Martha!

Posted on April 1, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's April, and today I'm sharing some cute projects made by Martha Swift! Martha is a dear friend in my downline under another dear friend, Angela Black!

Martha always brings some pretty projects to share to our meetings that I want to share with you!

Martha used Bohemian Designer Series Paper with the collar fold, adding a greeting from Balloon Celebration.

Inside she used sentiments and stamps from Party with Cake:

I love the way she double-punched the Bermuda Bay scallop behind the candle scallop to give it more zip!

Next, Martha used Cottage Greetings and Petite Petals for her drapery fold card:

She used the same format for a pretty thanks card:

The Curvy Corner Trio Punch adds so much to the card inside!

Finally, Martha created this for an Easter basket, but it would make a nice spring or Mother's Day banquet favor:

She used a retired punch, the Flower Medallion punch and the Petite Petals stamp set with the Petite Petals punch. Her colors are Old Olive and Pink Pirouette.

Stampin’ Up! Big News for Dolores!

Posted on March 28, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had a splendid Easter! Twenty-five family members, including my husband's mother, celebrating her 88th birthday! We had the traditional Easter lunch, birthday cake and ice cream, and then an afternoon Easter egg hunt!

Dolores' favorite color is purple, so I made this card with Floral Wings and Big News:

I started with a Blackberry Bliss card base, layered Wisteria Wonder and Mint Macaron, then the Whisper White stamped layer.

The large butterfly image needed a large greeting, so I used a greeting from Big News that's large but not overpowering with its' narrow font.

The Floral Wings butterfly uses a three-step stamping technique. All photopolymer, stamp the butterfly with Wisteria Wonder, then add Mint Macaron leaves, and finally Blackberry Bliss blooms. A line of pearls finishes the center. Pearls Basic Jewels are ON SALE until the end of today on the Weekly Deals!

Inside I stamped more Floral Wings. "Enjoy the fuss" is also from Big News.

Don't forget, Sale-a-bration will be ending at midnight this Thursday, March 31st!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Elegance Tea Party!

Posted on March 22, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I was inspired by Patty Bennett to create this gate fold card for my monthly swap. I made 21 with a little (ahem, A LOT) help from my sweet hubby manning the Big Shot:

I used Timeless Elegance Designer Paper (retiring May 31) for the background and tea pot:

and tea cup:

Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies cut them out. The tiny teabag is also a Cups & Kettle die. I added Silver Metallic Thread between two teabag layers to dangle from the tea cup.

Here's a little storage/organization tip:

Purchase magnetic vent covers from a home improvement store. The ones I purchased had three loooong lightweight magnetic covers for less than $5. Cut to fit the die packaging with household scissors.

Dies stay put on the magnetic sheet!

I cut Very Vanilla with tea pot and cup dies, then adhered with Tombow Multipurpose glue for stability.

I put dimensionals on only one side of the shape:

I cut the spoon from Silver Foil, and added the greeting from Birthday Blooms, cut with the smallest Lots of Labels Framelit, using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Inside is all Birthday Blooms:

This card is the second card you will receive when you place your order of at least $35 in my Online Store by March 31st!

Stampin’ Up! Zoo Babies for #imbringingbirthdaysback!

Posted on March 19, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card was created with Zoo Babies and Number of Years sets. You can find another card I created with these sets HERE.

I used another sheet of the It's My Party Designer Paper Stack for the background. "LOOK WHO'S TURNING" and the number are both from Number of Years. Customize with any number from 1 to infinity with this set!

I didn't draw the balloon string, it's included in Party Pants, also used for "Happy Birthday to you" on the balloon punched with the Balloon Bouquet punch. Party Pants is a Sale-a-bration set, so you can only get it free with your $50 order through March 31st!

Inside I used the Party Pop-Up! Die. These dies are easy to use; they have a tab at the top and bottom of the die to line up with the fold line of the layer:

I used the Precision Base Plate and the Big Shot Die Brush for the the intricacies of this die:

Stampin’ Up! Cherry on Top Banner Card!

Posted on March 14, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm sorry I didn't get to do a Sunday Swap Day post. After Sunday dinner I went down for a "30 minute" nap that lasted about two hours, but I'm feeling much better today!

Today I have one of the cards we made at the library on Saturday using Cherry on Top Designer Paper, Fabulous Four, Party Pants, and the Balloon Bouquet Punch:

I love this layout of banners punched with the Banner Triple Punch. It's quick but shows off several pretty patterns of paper at the same time!

Less than three weeks left to choose the Party Pants set as your free gift with your $50 order. Sale-a-bration ends on March 31st!

ALWAYS remember to stamp your words first, then emboss!

Here's a fun trick to tie the strings on the balloons: make an open loop with your string, slide the loop under the balloon end, then pull the string tight around the end and trim te end of the string!

Gather the string ends together, secure with a glue dot, then tie a separate bow and adhere over the gathered area with another glue dot.

Inside we stamped another phrase from Fabulous Four and added a tiny balloon punched with one of the Party Pack Punches.

Here's the class handout to download and print:
