Stampin’ Up! Petal Palette for Stampin’ In the New Year!

Posted on December 28, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is another one we will be making at my Stampin' In the New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack next Monday. The Petal Passion Suite is my absolute favorite from the upcoming Occasions Catalog. If I could only own ONE set from this catty, Petal Palette would be it. I love that there are coordinating framelits too!

Inspired by Mary Fish, I made some changes to make this card my own:

Starting with a Crumb Cake card base, I layered on Powder Pink, then a Crumb Cake layer I embossed with an inked Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. After stamping the Petal Palette images with Basic Black Archival ink on Crumb Cake, I used a Sponge Dauber to add Pear Pizzazz and Powder Pink to the blooms and leaves. I cut them out with a die from the Petals & More Thinlets Dies. The dies and the stamp set are bundled together to save you 10%. After cutting out the blooms and adhering to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals I added some shimmer with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Before I stamped and cut out the chickadee, I sponged a scrap of Crumb Cake with Whisper White Craft ink and dried with my heat tool. I liked the look much better than when I added the white ink to the stamped birdie. The birdie on the left is stamped over the sponged white ink. The birdie on the right is stamped first and then sponged with ink.

I perched the birdie on a greeting banner stamped with a Petal Palette phrase and cut with a Petals & More Thinlet Die. I added a single pearl to the far end of the greeting banner.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from the Big on Birthdays set, found in the Annual Catalog. I colored the corner blooms with sponge daubers.

The stamps and dies for this card will be available to order on January 3rd. Until then, you will want to shop for End of Year values and Clearance Rack deals in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Stampin’ Up! Alaska Achiever’s Blog Hop December 2017!

Posted on December 26, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Welcome to the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop for December 2017! Our theme every month is our own choice this year, so I'm going to share an Occasions Catalog/Sale-a-brtion Sneak Peek with you that we will be making at my "Stampin' In the New Year" Stamp-a-Stack next Monday on New Year's Day!

I used the Party Pandas Sale-a-bration set with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create this:

I was inspired to create this card by this dress I found on Pinterest:

To create the leafy background I inked the negative side (the side with the leaves not popped up) of the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder with black ink, inserted the layer of Emerald Envy card stock, and ran it through my big shot.

I stamped one of the three pandas in the Party Pandas set with black ink on Whisper White card stock and cut him out with Paper Snips.

After I added him to the center of the card I punched Whisper White flowers with the Tree Builder Punch and added them with glue dots. I hand-drew flower centers with a Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Marker. The greeting is also from Party Pandas, stamped with Basic Black ink and punched with the Classic Label Punch.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Wit set in the new Occasions Catalog that starts January 3rd. I stamped the confetti, also from Party Pandas, with Emerald Envy ink.

Now it's time to continue on to the next member of the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop. Simply click on the name below mine (Carol Payne) to go to the next creative creator's blog!

Stampin’ Up! Remarkable Ink Big December Blog Hop!

Posted on December 17, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm participating in a new blog hop this month, the Remarkable Ink Big Blog Hop!

Our theme this month is Sneak Peeks from the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs! I participated in an extra swap this month featuring the Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalogs. (have your received your copy yet? I send one to myself when I do the Stampin' Up! Mailing Selector, and I just received my Occasions Catalog copy yesterday. If you don't have a demonstrator to get catalogs from, just leave me a comment with your name and address and I'll pop one in the mail to you this week!)

I used the Sweet Soiree Suite of products to create my flip/flap fold card:

I used Sweet Soiree' Specialty Designer Series Paper for the top flap and embossed the bottom flap of So Saffron card base with the Layered Leaves Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The Sweet Soiree' Suite includes Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon that coordinates perfectly with the silver-embossed paper.

Inside I added floral images from the Cake Soiree' stamp set withe So Saffron, Powder Pink, and stamped-off Old Olive. I stamped the sentiment with Berry Burst.

I used the Everyday Label Punch to create the window for the greeting to peek through.

I cut the punched piece in half.

Then added it to the back of the stamped greeting label. I then added the greeting inside the window, adhering to the bottom flap with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Now it's time to continue on to the next blog on the hop to see more sneaky peekies!

Stampin’ Up! Alaska Achiever’s Blog Hop November 2017!

Posted on November 28, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop! This hop is filled with inspiration to spark your creativity and imagination as you pursue your passion (and mine) of papercrafting. Whether you love to scrapbook, make cards, or giftables and packaging, I'm sure this hop will show you something to get excited about!

Currently you are at my blog, Carol Payne Stamps. At the bottom of this post you will find a list of all of the participating blogs in the hop. To "hop" on to the next blog all you have to do is click on the name below mine. It's that easy!

Our theme for this year's Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop is anything goes, which is a pretty awesome theme, because this way we can each bring you our best and most loved projects! We were encouraged to use products from the upcoming Occasion Catalog, which begins on January 3rd 2018, and I have a fun little "present" for you!

These cards are 4 1/4" square at the Bermuda Bay/Berry Burst base, then an 8" x 4" Whisper White layer scored and folded at 4" creates the fold for the front and inside.

The Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set from the Occasions Catalog was the set Stampin' Up! chose to give to every attendee in their event bag at OnStage Live earlier this month, so I decided to start with this set first.

I chose the bow image to stamp with Bermuda Bay. There is another coordinating stamp to create shadows, but I chose to only use the bold image for my project. I punched it with a 1" Circle Punch and then punched another circle from Bermuda Bay with the 1 1/2" Circle Punch. I painted the bow with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for some sparkle.

I stamped "treat yourself" from Picture Perfect Birthday first before embossing with the Oh My Stars Textured Impressions Folder.

I love the font the sentiments in this set are written with!

I also created a Berry Burst version. The "ribbons" are actually 1/4" wide strips of Berry Burst card stock.

The Berry Burst version also has a bit of Clear Wink of Stella.

I added a couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I just can't decide which version I like better!

Now it's time to move on to the next stop on the hop! Simply click on the name below mine, Carol Payne, and you will almost instantly (or as long as your internet takes) to the next blog on the list!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 26!

Posted on November 26, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had a lovely Thanksgiving with our family yesterday, complete with the annual family picture photo shoot! You'll get to see that one of these days, but for now it's time to share some Sunday Swap Day Swaps! yay!

First, Kathy Johnson created a fun background with Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, and So Saffron cardstock, cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit, perfect to layer a Basic Black dragonfly cut with a Detailed Dragonfly Thinlet. So bright and happy!

Next, Sharon Tong-Robinson created a "bridge" card with Calypso Coral, the Daisy Delight and Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp sets:

Kim Peck used the "watercolor spritz" technique to create her Colorful Seasons card. She used the Leaf Punch and Pretty Label Punch to frame and accent the greeting from Painted Harvest.

Christine Bertram also used Happy Birthday Gorgeous, combining with Snowflake Sentiments and a silver Foil Snowflake for a wintry birthday look!

Finally, Laura Milligan used the Ribbon of Courage Bundle that includes the Support Ribbon Framelits to create her card featuring the Powder Pink print from the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper pack!
