Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day June 20th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day June 20th!

Hey there! Happy Father's Day and Happy First Day of Summer! The first day of summer is actually kind of sad, as it means soon the days will start getting shorter as the world starts heading toward fall (in our part of the world, anyway)

Regardless, today is another Sunday Swap day, so it's time to share some swaps!

First, Garden Birdhouses with the Bark 3D embossing folder and Double Oval Punch by an anonymous creator.

Second, Kathy Johnson also used Garden Birdhouses. She also used one of the Basic Borders Dies to cut a cloud stencil to use with a Blending Brush to create the fluffy clouds background!

Next, Kathy Morgan used the Seascape Bundle  with one of the Layering Diorama Dies for her card creation:

Stampin’ Up! Pierced Blooms on a Brick Wall!

Stampin’ Up! Pierced Blooms on a Brick Wall!

Hey there! Today I have another In Bloom/Pierced Blooms birthday card to share with you!

Stampin_up_brick_and_mortar_pierced_blooms_carolpaynestamps1

This time I used all of the New In Colors, with the exception of Evening Evergreen!

Stampin_up_brick_and_mortar_pierced_blooms_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the greeting directly on the Crumb Cake layer before embossing with the Brick & Mortar folder. I added a bit of bling with Polished Pink In Color Jewels, which are off the back order list!

Stampin_up_brick_and_mortar_pierced_blooms_carolpaynestamps4

I embossed the inside Crumb Cake layer just for fun, and covered the envelope flap with Pansy Petals Designer Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Stitched Greenery Sweet As A Peach!

Stampin’ Up! Stitched Greenery Sweet As A Peach!

Hey there! I played some more with the Sweet As A Peach Bundle yesterday, and also used the Stitched Greenery Die that just came in the mail!

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps1

I glanced over the Stitched Greenery Die when I first flipped through the new Annual Catalog, but after seeing a few creations with it, I had to put it on my next order! I LOVE IT!!!

It is a MUST HAVE in everyone's die collections!

I stamped the leaves on Pear Pizzazz card stock with Pear Pizzazz ink, then cut with the coordinating Peach die. I stamped the peaches with Pale Papaya ink (sponged with Calypso Coral ink) on Pale Papaya card stock, also cutting with the coordinating Peach die. The Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon bow looks so beautiful with the vibrant peach and pear colors!

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps2

I used one long side of one Scallop Contours die to cut a strip of Basic White.

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps5

I adhered it and a 1/4" wide strip of You're A Peach Designer paper to the card front with thin lines of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps6

I stamped the Sweet As A Peach birthday greeting on a 1/2" wide strip of white using Calypso Coral ink. I snipped one end into banner points with my Paper Snips.

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps3

Inside everything is from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, May 30th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, May 30th!

Hey there! We were so happy to get to attend our oldest grandchild, Maddie Kate's, wedding yesterday. Such a sweet ceremony. A bit chilly, (it was an outdoor wedding), but sweet nonetheless!

Today, of course, is Sunday, so that means it's the day I share my swaps with you!

First a sort-of masculine card by Susie Wood with the new Beauty of the Earth Suite. She used the Beauty of Friendship stamp set with Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, Double Oval Punch, and new In Color, Evening Evergreen!

Stampin_up_beauty_of_friendship_carolpaynestamps

Next, Deb McCahan used the new Elegantly Said Bundle with white heat embossing to create her card:

Stampin_up_elegantly_said_carolpaynestamps

Kathy Johnson used the Inspiring Thoughts Bundle (that includes the Inspiring Thoughts stamps and Inspiring Canopy Dies) along with Blending Brushes to create the gorgeous background. The Double Oval Punch comes in handy for greetings of this size!

Stampin_up_inspired_thoughts_carolpaynestamps1

Finally, Kathy Morgan used the soon-retiring (June 30th) Tranquil Thoughts Bundle for her creation:
