Stampin’ Up! Bubble Over!

Posted on January 3, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is the start of the Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration! yay!

The card I'm sharing today was the fifth and final one we made at my Stampin' In The New Year Stamp-a-Stack last Saturday. It started out as one of the Make n' Takes at the November OnStage Event I attended with some of my team. I loved it so much I modified it a bit and included an inside so it would work for my class!

I used the Bubble Over Bundle of stamps and framelits dies, Bubble & Fizz Designer Series Paper, and Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes in addition to the Bermuda Bay card stock and Lemon Lime Twist and Calypso Coral inks. See the supply list at the end of this post for more details.

Please excuse the "yellowness" of my photos. I'm trying to figure out what has changed with my camera, which is just a little point-and-shoot. The setting and lighting has not changed, but there's a good chance one (or more!) of my grandkids may have played with it during Christmas!

There are several products in the Sale-a-bration brochure that coordinate perfectly with Occasions Catalog suites. For this card I used the Bubble & Fizz Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration Catalog wit the coordinating Bubble Over Bundle in the Occasions Catalog.

I love all of the images in Bubble Over, but the "bubble & fizz" image I used to stamp the Lemon Lime Twist background and around the Stylized Birthday greeting on the inside was what really sold me on this set! I played with this set a bunch before Christmas; you'll be seeing more creations with it soon!

Here's a video from Stampin' Up! with everything you need to know to get a pack of the Bubble & Fizz Designer Series Paper for FREE!

Stampin’ Up! Year in Review for a Happy New Year!

Posted on January 1, 2018 by Carol Payne

IHey there and Happy 2018! I have my "Stampin' in the New Year" Birthday Card Stamp a Stack starting this morning, but before everyone arrives I want to finish up my "year in review" for 2017. Today I'm starting with July 2017 and working my way to the end of the year showcasing my favorite creations from the year!

First, I combined the Eastern Medallions Thinlets Dies with the Daisy Delight stamp set to create this bold-but-soft thank you card. Here's the link to the July 3rd post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-eastern-medallions-daisy-delight.html

I stamped a flock of Fabulous Flamingos for this blog post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-a-flock-of-fabulous-flamingos.html

This Swirly Bird Christmas card was my favorite one we made at my Christmas in July class! Check it out here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-swirly-bird-christmas.html

Another favorite Christmas card I created was with the Carols of Christmas set. This set is retiring and will no longer be available after tomorrow! Here's the blog post link: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-carols-of-christmas.html

I CASED this card from an old swap using the Grown with Love Bundle. See the full post HERE.

I used Sheltering Tree with the Sheet Music background stamp to create the sympathy card found HERE.

I combined High Tide with the Colorful Seasons Bundle to create the Double z-Fold card in this blog post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/08/stampin-up-colorful-seasons-double-z-fold.html

In August I had the privilege of presenting at a stamping meeting of demonstrators in Champaign, IL. This ornament was my last-minute inspiration, Night in Bethlehem with the Cracked Glass technique! Read all about it HERE.

A favorite-but-retiring bundle from the Holiday Catalog, Christmas Quilt! I used Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper, also retiring January 2nd, with the Cat Punch (not retiring) to create this easel card. Find more details HERE.

I explored an oldie-but-goodie technique, Faux Silk, in THIS POST with the Count My Blessings set:

I used the Painted Harvest set (which is not retiring) to create this adorable hedgehog Christmas card. Get all of the info here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/10/stampin-up-painted-harvest-christmas-hedgehog.html

Smitten Mittens is another retiring bundle I had fun playing with! Check out one of the three cards I created with this set HERE.

As you have probably figured out by now, I love techniques! I used the Direct Stamping on your embossing folder technique for this card with the retiring Season Like Christmas set. Check it all out here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/11/stampin-up-woodland-season-like-christmas.html

I also like trying new folds, like the bridge fold I used with this card using the Season Like Christmas set: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/12/stampin-up-season-like-christmas-bridge-fold.html

Finally, my newest favorite set, Petal Palette. We will be making this card today at my Stampin' In the New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack. Go HERE for more details.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Year in Review!

Posted on December 31, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's the last day of 2017! How fast time flies whether you're having fun or not! I would have to say 2017 has been a good year for me, filled with lots of fun with family, a couple of great trips with my hubby for our 40th wedding anniversary, and of course, fun stamping! I reached my 15 year anniversary as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator this year too, and am happy to say that I feel like I am still growing in my stamping style as well as growing my business!

I thought today would be a good opportunity to share some of my favorite cards created in 2017. I'm going back all the way to January, so this post will be long!

To start off, here's a card I created in January using the Cool Treats set. I love that Stampin' Up keeps giving us fun images and coordinating dies to make cutting them out a breeze!

Note: the stamps and dies are still available to order, but the designer paper is not (sad face) See the supplies list at the bottom of this post for links to my online store for the supplies you can order!

Here's the link to the original post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/01/stampin-up-cool-treats.html

Next is a card I've been enjoying sending every month of 2017 with our monthly share as members of Samaritan Ministries. It's fun to create flat cards sometimes. I tend to be a "lots of layers girl", so it's a fun challenge to create something flat and beautiful that will go through the mail without extra postage or fuss!

Here's the link to the Sheltering Tree card: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/02/stampin-up-sheltering-tree-for-samaritan-ministries.html

Note: I do not receive any compensation for the link provided to the Samaritan Ministries website. It is an organization I believe in, and if you are searching for an alternative to crippling health insurance premiums, check them out.

High Tide is a beautiful set that is so versatile: masculine, birthdays, sympathy, thinking of you, for anyone! I created this easel calendar in February 2017 and am happy to report that with the exception of the cording used, all is still in my store!

The link to the original post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/02/stampin-up-high-tide-calendar.html

I loved the flat (mostly!) card I created for my mother-in-law's 89th birthday with the Big on Birthdays set. Here's the link: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/03/stampin-up-big-on-birthdays-for-dolores.html

I really enjoyed creating with the Flourishing Phrases and Timeless Textures sets for this card I posted in April. The embossing folder and the sparkly embellishment are retired, but the stamps are not! Here's the post link: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/04/stampin-up-flourishing-phrases-kissing.html

Daisy Delight and the Daisy Punch were INSTANT HITS in the new Annual Catalog! Stampin' Up! has never sold so many of the same punch, EVER, and the punch spent many days on the backorder list. Happily, this set and punch are still available, separately and as a BUNDLE to save you 10%! Post link: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/05/stampin-up-daisy-delight.html

Beautiful You is a set from last year's Occasions Catalog that carried over to the Annual. After reviewing this post and the ones after it, I need to get this set out and play again!

Did you know you can choose Host Sets as part of your Stampin' Rewards when you place an order of at least $150? You can! Tranquil Tulips is still available as a Host-Only set and uses only $10 of your Stampin' Rewards! I paired it on this card with the Label Me Pretty stamp set and Pretty Label Punch Bundle. Reviewing these cards are making me itch to play!

I used the Birthday Memories Suite on pages 68-69 of the Annual Catalog to create this "Golden Book" card. The images and designs in the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper are so reminiscent of my childhood! Here's the link to the blog post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/06/stampin-up-birthday-delivery-little-golden-book.html

With Valentine's Day right around the corner it's always a good idea to be thinking about the stamps you already have that you can use for a valentine. Lots of Love is one of those stamp sets. Here's a card I made in June that I just might have to CASE for February 14! Check out the blog post here to see what I really mean!

Finally for today, a Christmas card I created back in June with the Annual Catalog set, Merry Mistletoe. Although Christmas was only last Monday, it's never too early to start your Christmas cards. Here's the link for the full post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/06/stampin-up-merry-mistletoe.html

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post where I finish my "year in review"! As I'm scrolling through all of the posts here on my blog for the past year, there's just too many favorites not to share!

Stampin’ Up! Picture Perfect Birthday!

Posted on December 30, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! While Petal Palette is my #1 favorite from the Occasions Catalog, the number two spot is taken by the Picture Perfect stamp set. In fact, I love everything in the entire Picture Perfect Party Suite on pages 4 & 5 of the Occasions Catalog!

Before Christmas I had a chance to sit down one day to create with the suite. I used a color combo suggested by the colors in the Picture Perfect Party 6 x 6" Designer Series Paper Stack: Bermuda Bay, Berry Burst, and Whisper White! I used the Happy Birthday Thinlet Die to cut out a Bermuda Bay greeting to layer over the designer paper that looks like confetti sprinkles. I embossed the white background layer with the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I cut a second greeting from Berry Burst to layer under the Bermuda Bay one for lift and more color interest.

While not part of the Picture Perfect Party Suite, I added Tutti-Fruitti Adhesive-Backed Sequins because they are fun and easy! Did you notice the words "adhesive-backed"? All you have to do is slide the tip of your Paper Snips or the end of your Paper-Piercing Tool under the sequins and transfer to your project! I LOVE these!

Inside I stamped the Picture Perfect Birthday sentiment with Bermuda Bay ink, then created a mini custom ink pad by dripping a few drops of Bermuda Bay and Berry Burst ink onto a folded baby wipe so I could ink the confetti stamp to stamp around the words.

I stamped the three different candles that are part of Picture Perfect Birthday with Bermuda Bay and Berry Burst ink, stamped the flames with So Saffron, and then added the yellow Tutti-Frutti Adhesive-Backed sequins over the flames. I LOVE the coordination between suites in the Occasions Catalog, as well as the way they also coordinate with Annual Catalog products!

The days are rapidly ticking down! Just a few more days until you can order these same products for yourself! Of course, this also means there are only a few more days left to order from the Holiday Catalog and the Year End Sale, so hop on over to my online store and treat yourself to some goodies before they are gone! http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Just remember, if it's in the Occasions 2018 Catalog, you won't be able to order it until January 3rd.

Picture Perfect Birthday Photopolymer Stamp Set [145519] $17.00	Picture Perfect Party 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [145559] $10.00	Happy Birthday Thinlits Die [143700] $20.00	Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [145648] $8.50

Stampin’ Up! Petal Palette Triple Time!

Posted on December 29, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The card I'm sharing today we won't be making at the Stampin' In the New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack, but I wanted to share it with you now because I love it so much and it's also made with the Petal Palette stamp set!

I have two versions of this card. The first is what I would call Triple Time Clean-and-Simple. The layers are also shifted to the left instead of centered in traditional Triple Time, which does make it a little trickier to line up before and after stamping, but I love the look!

I used Pool Party for the card base and the mat layers, and Whisper White for the image layers.

To stamp the layers triple-time, I used a tiny bit of adhesive behind each layer to keep them in place while stamping. I inked the bloom/leaves image with Bermuda Bay ink, then used a baby wipe to remove the ink from the leaves. I inked the cleaned leaves with Old Olive using a Stampin' Write Marker. I stamped all of the layers at the same time for the triple-time effect.

I used the measurements on my grid sheet to line up the edges of the layers 1/2" apart. This is the key to the Triple-Time Stamping technique.

After stamping I took the layers apart and backed each one with a Pool Party layer that is 1/4" longer and wider than the stamped layer it is adhered to. After adhering all of the layerts to the card base I added a bow tied with Whisper White 1/4" Organza Ribbon using a glue dot. I also added a single Petal Passion Embellishment with a glue dot.

My second version is stepped-up by embossing all of the stamped layers with the Scattered Sequins Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder before I took it apart to add the Pool Party layers.

This one is actually my fave!

There are two different styles in the Petal Passion Embellishments pack, the flower and this little leafy branch. Both can be added to your projects with glue dots, or tied with narrow ribbon, baker's twine, or thread.

I stamped the inside of both cards the same using a Petal Passion phrase with Bermuda Bay ink. To stamp the bloom/leaves I simply breathed (huffed) on the previously inked image before stamping to get a lighter, faded look.

You don't have too much longer to wait before you can order the Petal Palette stamp set or the Petal Palette Bundle. Until then, there are still great values to be found in the Year-End Sale and the Clearance Rack. You'll find all of this in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps
