Stampin’ Up! So Hoppy Together for Jaxon!

Posted on December 27, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! My grandson, Jaxon, was born on December 26th, so we celebrated his birthday yesterday. For Jaxon's card I used the Sale-abration set, So Hoppy Together and new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies:

The frog print from retiring Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper coordinates perfectly with the So Hoppy Together frogs. This paper is on the Discounted Retiring List and is only available while-supplies-last. Order it in my online store today!

I stamped the So Hoppy for You frog, the flies, and the greeting all with Memento Tuxedo Black ink so I could color with my Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. I used the Granny Apple Green Light & Dark Markers and the Light Highland Heather to color the frog and the flies.

Inside I use new stamps from the Occasions Catalog bundle, Well Said.

I must say the die I used to cut out the Gorgeous Grape "happy" was a dream to use! The word practically fell out of the die!

My favorite thing about this card, though, is this phrase, also from the Well Said Bundle!

Your shopping list for today! The first three items of this table will be available to order on January 3rd, but you need to order the discounted Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper NOW before it sells out or goes away on January 2nd!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Cupcake!

Posted on December 19, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a swap I needed to create using Sneak Peek Occasions and/or Sale-a-bration goodies, so I used the same background technique with the Life is Grand stamp set that I used on my Stampers Dozen Blog Hop card a few days ago. I stamped the Granny Apple Green background with "make a wish" from Life is Grand with Granny Apple Green ink, the cupcake base with Coastal Cabana, the frosting with Melon Mambo, and "Sweet Wishes" with Granny Apple Green ink.

I cut out the cupcake and the greeting with a new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Die from my Occasions Catalog pre-order, then layered it on a Granny Apple Green and then a Coastal Cabana rectangle.

I added a Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dot for a final pop of color.

Inside I stamped a phrase and the sprinkles from Hello Cupcake. I lined the envelope flap with a print from new How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper. Those gummy bears are sooooo cute!

Here's your shopping list for today. (The top three items in this table won't be available to order until January 3rd)

Stampers Dozen Blog Hop December 2018 Occasions Catalog Life is Grand Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 14, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Our Stampers Dozen Blog Hop December theme is "Occasions Catalog Sneak Peek!

For my project today I chose to use the Piece of Cake Bundle photopolymer stamps and Cake Builder Punch, along with the Life is Grand cling stamp set. My camera did not do a good job with the colors of this card, which are Powder Pink, Soft Suede, and Whisper White. I stamped the "make a wish" with Powder Pink on the Powder Pink layer. This phrase is from the Life is Grand "cling" stamp set in the Occasions catalog. "Cling" stamps are new to this catalog. They are still red rubber like the current "clear-mount" or "wood-mount" stamps we currently carry, but have an innovative sticker that is sticky on both sides so it sticks firmly to the clear blocks!

I used Petal Pink 1/4" ribbon from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack in the Annual Catalog.

I added the cake from the new Occasions Catalog set, Piece of Cake.

This stamp set is bundled with the Cake Builder Punch. I laid the photopolymer stamps on the images on the punch to get my placement for the stamping block.

I pressed the block to the stamps and pulled them off of the top of the punch.

I stamped both the pedestal and the cake at the same time.

Punched both images at the same time.

The inside of the card is stamped with the same front image with stamped-off Powder Pink ink and another Life is Grand phrase.

Now it's time to hop on to the next blog in the hop!

Stampin’ Up! Country Home is Carrying Over!

Posted on December 14, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Country Home stamp set is carrying over; you can still order it after the Holiday Catalog ends on January 2nd!

These cards were displayed at Vacation Stamping School back in August, so I don't have any creator's names, but they are lovely!

First, this card is beautifully watercolored with Stampin' Blends and has retiring Country Lane Designer Paper for the background.

This card also used retiring Country Lane Designer paper to create the "sunburst" effect!

It's possible all three of these cards were created by the same person since the "sunburst" technique was used on this one too. You really need to consider ordering a pack of this paper before it is gone forever. All retiring Holiday Catalog items are while-supplies-last.

This card features the "no line watercoloring" technique on the pitcher with the bouquet stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Watercolor Paper. I love the soft color contrast of the Mint Macaron card base and the Grapefruit Grove pitcher, and the Copper Foil strip embossed with the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder gives this card even more of a vintage look.

The card was displayed with a background from the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper and a strip of retiring Galvanized Metallic Paper embossed with a Nature's Roots Framelit and the Big Shot Embossing Mats. The rolled flowers were also created from Nature's Poem paper and the leaves are stamped with Rooted in Nature images and cut out with Nature's Roots Framelits. The designer paper, stamps, and Leaves Trinkets used are all from the Annual Catalog.

The last Country Home Sample features a Copper Foil background embossed with the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions folder, then sponged with StazOn Jet Black ink. The milk can is heat-embossed with Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder.

Your shopping list for today:

Country Home Photopolymer Stamp Set [147678]	Country Lane 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [147804]	Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [147906]

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Gala!

Posted on December 13, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm switching gears today to share a card I created with new products from the upcoming 2019 Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs. Demonstrators are preordering from both catalogs right now, but you can start ordering on January 3rd!

We'll make this card at my "Stampin' In The New Year" Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack on January 1st with the Butterfly Gala Bundle and Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper:

I embossed the Whisper White background with the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I stamped the Butterfly Gala butterflies and greeting with Memento Tuxedo Black ink so I could color them with both Light and Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends. I painted both butterflies with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for some shine. I added a 1/2" x 2" piece of Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the tag. The Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper is only available from January 3rd through March 31st as a free gift you can choose when you place a $50 order.

I created the feathery bow by cutting a length of new Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon in half, tying a bow, then coloring lightly with the Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blend. To get the feathery look I gently pulled the fibers apart before adhering to the top of the Scallop Tag Topper-punched tag with a glue dot.

Inside I stamped another Butterfly Gala sentiment, then added butterflies with stamped-off Highland Heather ink.

I used a 1" x 5 1/4" strip of Botanical Butterflies Designer Paper to coordinate the outside and the inside.

I stamped more butterflies with full-strength Highland Heather ink.

Shopping List! Just remember, the Butterfly Gala Bundle and the Botanical Butterfly paper isn't orderable until January 3rd!

Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [147923]	Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Bundle [150599]	Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper [149622]

Stampin’ Up! Geared Up Garage Birthday for Logan, Another Sneak Peek!

Posted on November 27, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Yesterday I shared the card I created for Troy with the Classic Garage Suite, and today I'm sharing Logan's card with the same suite:

I chose Basic Black, Tranquil Tide, Whisper White, Silver Foil, to coordinate with the Classic Garage 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper print. I used the Big Shot Embossing Mats to emboss the Silver Foil with the gears thinlit that is originally intended to cut paper. The Embossing Mats let you turn just about any metal thinlit into an embossing medium! After I embossed the Silver Foil, I cut it with a Layering Oval Framelit, then layered it onto a Basic Black smooth oval and finally a Tranquil Tide scalloped one. I topped it with "Happy" cut from the Happy Birthday Thinlits Die, adhering with tiny dots of Liquid Glue.

I couldn't resist adding a key from the Classic Garage Metal Elements.

Inside I stamped the "nuts" across the top after inking them with Tranquil Tide, Basic Black, and Basic Gray Stampin' Write Markers. Stamping a second and a third time before re-applying more ink gave the shading of the colors. I added "Birthday" from the Happy Birthday Thinlet, also with Liquid Glue.

Happy Birthday Thinlit Tip: To use both words of the phrase, you will need to cut out two "Happy Birthday" phrases with the thinlit first. Then you will cut out "Happy" from one and "Birthday" from the other one. The leftover words will be discarded because they are cut in to to achieve complete and smooth letters.

The Geared Up Garage set does have a car image, but I used a Garage Gears Thinlits Die to cut out the car directly from the Classic Garage Designer Series Paper.

I used a piece of the same paper on the middle fold of this z-fold card.

The Classic Garage Suite will be orderable beginning January 3rd, but order the Happy Birthday Thinlet today from the Online Extravaganza and save 10%! Today starts the third and final 2-day sale: Big Shot accessories and ink! Go to my online store for the complete sale list!
