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!

Stampin’ Up! Vintage Leaves!

Posted on November 25, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a quick post this morning before all of the crazy starts. We are having our family Thanksgiving today, so I have a turkey breast and a honey ham cooking! Alisa was here yesterday to make pumpkin & pecan pies, and the rest of the dishes will be made in a little while. We are also taking our annual family picture today, so lots to do!

I received these two cards in my last swap, and since the Thanksgiving weekend isn't over yet I decided to wasn't too late to share!

First, Jan Rodrian stamped, watercolored with Stampin' Blends, and then cut out the Vintage Leaves oak leaf with the coordinating Leaflets Framelit Dies. She layered onto a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, then adhered it as a flap to a design from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper.

Just lovely!

Lift the flap t find a greeting from Best Birds and acorns stamped with the Painted Harvest set. This card would be perfect for the outdoorsman in your life!

My second card to share to day is by Jenna Raby and also features the Vintage Leaves and Leaflets Framelits. Jenna used a technique called "Distressed Direct to Paper" to achieve the splotchy-coppery look on the leaves. She embossed her Chocolate Chip background with the Woodland Textured Impressions Folder. She also heat-embossed a copper edge to the Chocolate Chip layer!

Her greeting starts with a label frame from Labels to Love, heat-embossed with Copper powder on Cajun Craze card stock. She added a greeting from Gourd Goodness with Early Espresso ink.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thanksgiving!

Posted on November 24, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We are having our family Thanksgiving on Saturday, but whenever you are or are going to celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating and giving thanks with your family and friends!

Today I have just one super-special card to share with you, a punch-art swap I received from Mary Lang. This card is a true work of art!

Isn't this gorgeous? Mary perfectly combined four current punches to create her fall scene: Starburst (sun), Pretty Label (clouds), Tree Builder (autumn trees) and Classic Label (greeting).

Mary started with a card base of Soft Suede, followed by a layer of Pumpkin Pie embossed with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder. She sponged the Whipser White layer with Marina Mist and Pear Pizzazz, then layered on all of the punched pieces to create a masterpiece! She wrapped a bit of Crushed Curry 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon and a bow tied from Crushed Curry Solid Baker's Twine for the perfect finishing touch!

Everything on this card has been sponged, either with Soft Sued ink or the coordinating color that matches the card stock piece. Mary added shine with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, and stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes with Soft Suede ink before punching with the Classic Label Punch.

Mary kept the inside pretty clean-and-simple with just a sentiment from Count My Blessings and a single apple punched with the Tree Builder Punch.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 12th!

Posted on November 12, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm flying home today from the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live in Salt Lake City today, but I scheduled this blog post last night so you would still have new swaps to see!

Today I have another collection of fall-themed swaps that are really good ones!

First, Jan Rodrian used a Sponge Brayer to expertly blend So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze for this amazing fall card created with the Colorful Seasons bundle.

Next, Tamie Ackerson combined the Eclipse and Baby Wipe techniques for her card with the Colorful Seasons and Painted Harvest stamp sets. She cut the letters for "FALL" with the Large Letters Thinlets dies.

Susie Wood used the Masking Tape technique with Gourd Goodness and Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets for a lovely thank-you card. The Seaside Textured Impressions folder provides texture and Gold Faceted Gems add sparkle.

Ruth Ann Lilley used the Polished Stone technique on a layer of glossy card stock before stamping over it with the Painted Harvest stamp set. The Label Me Pretty set and Pretty Label Punch created the greeting.

Karen Kurz heat-embossed a Thankful Thoughts greeting with gold powder then layered over Painted Autumn Designer Paper and leaves punched with the Leaf Punch.

Finally, Deb MaCahan used the Tarnished Foil technique with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. She used gold, silver, and copper embossing powders to get this look. She then layered over a strip of Crumb Cake she had stamped with the Tree Rings background.

Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends are Here!

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I never got around to blogging yesterday because I came down with a touch of the flu on Monday night and just was feeling kind of crummy. I even had to cancel the guy scheduled to clean my carpets, which was even more of a bummer!

Yesterday was the debut of the the new Stampin' Blends from Stampin' Up!; alcohol markers in 12 of our flagship colors in both a light and dark shade! There's also Bronze, Ivory, and a Color Lifter!

Here's the link to the Stampin' Blends brochure: http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/Promotions/NA/2017/Stampin%27%20Blends/StampinBlends_2017_US.pdf

Some features of Stampin' Blends:

Add just the right amount of color where you need it with the brush tip or fine-point.
Each color (except Ivory and Bronze) has a light and dark shade marker, available individually or in a combo pack.
Stampin' Up! has done in-house testing for evaporation and life testing and are really happy with the results!

Press fit seal prevents air from entering the barrel and causing evaporation.
The nestable lids are easy to keep track of and have a tight fit for long-lasting color.

Here's a video created by Stampin' Up! to introduce Stampin' Blends:

Here's a Stampin' Blends Basics video from Stampin' Up!

Watch how to create the cards in the Color Me Happy Card Kit with Stampin' Blends!

Stampin’ Up! Monday Swap Day!

Posted on October 23, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is a fabulous day to share some fabulous swaps! As you know, I participate in a monthly swap where I make 21 swap the same and receive 20 different swaps in return. This year the swaps have been particularly fabulous, but if I don't add in a few extra swap days I'll not get to share them all with you. Hence the need for a Monday Swap Day now and then! I did get to stamp some over the weekend, in addition to hitting the Express Care for my sinus infections and getting a new phone (BIG SMILE) to replace the one dropped in the bathtub last week by my littlest baby granddaughter. The weather has not been very cooperative for me, though, so I've not been able to photograph any of my creations. I hope to get that done today so I have a new creation to share tomorrow!

So without further ado. . . . here we go!

First, a lovely fall card created with Colorful Seasons and the Baby Wipe technique:

The inside is just as lovely as the outside. I love Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Early Espresso together!

Next, Landa Cartwright also used Colorful Seasons, adding the Seasonal Layers thinlets to create a bouquet of lovely leaves!

Lorraine Duran combined the Paisley's & Poises greeting with the Gourd Goodness set, stamping the gourds and greeting first before embossing with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder. Old Olive 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon and a Pear Pizzazz leaf punched with the Leaf Punch pull it all together!

Finally, Cathy Miller used the Painted Harvest Bundle to create her Dutch Fold card. I love her combo of Tangerine Tango, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla!

Lorraine used a print from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper pack for the dutch doors.

Lifting the center flap reveals just how the three "doors" of this card combine to create a lovely whole!
