Stampin’ Up! Stepped-Up Painted Harvest for the Creative Crew!

Posted on October 5, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just when you think you have everything lined up to accomplish a lot in one day, it can go awry. I've been dealing with a broken washing machine since last week. The repairman came on Tuesday afternoon, so I started washing my weeks-worth pile of laundry. I'd only done a few loads when the machine door stopped closing. Of course it was after hours by then. When my hubby came home he fixed it, so I was able to do a couple more loads before bedtime. Yesterday morning the door, although closed, refused to lock! The poor machine kept trying and trying to lock itself, so I turned it off and called my hubby. He got it going for one more load before it quit locking again! I called the repairman, who will be here tomorrow IF the part arrives on the UPS truck before he starts on his route. Goodness, will I ever catch up?

On the bright side, I DO have a great card to share with you today; the stepped-up version of the CAS Painted Harvest card from yesterday. I created a nifty tri-fold using the October Creative Crew Challenge colors of Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, and Tranquil Tide.

After embossing the card front with the Petal Burst folder, I cut a circle through the front with a Layering Circle Framelit. I then used that circle and a scalloped Layering Circle Framelit to cut out the rim from Tangerine Tango. Before I adhere the scalloped circle rim, I cut out a circle slightly larger than the smaller circle from a Window Sheet to sandwich between the card front and the rim.

I stamped the bloom and the Painted Harvest greeting on the Whisper White layer behind the window sheet. I adhered the stamped and punched Tranquil Tide leaves between the layers with a glue dot. I tied a bit of Linen Thread in a bow and added it with a glue dot too.

The Chocolate Chip card base is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4. The white layer is also 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and 4 1/4". I stamped the Tangerine Tango blooms multiple times before adhering the folded layer to the back side of the Chocolate Chip card base so it will open to create the tri-fold. I added the little dots with the flower center image from Painted Harvest, stamping-off Tranquil Tide for a subtle look.

The tri-fold inside was stamped with more Painted Harvest images.

I sure hope the washer comes early today so I can get a little stamping done. You never know what a day will bring! lol!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest CCREW1017SIP Simple!

Posted on October 4, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Another one of the October Creative Crew Challenges over on Splitcoaststampers is to create a CAS (Clean and Simple) card using the theme (Comfy & Cozy) and the Color Challenge (Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, and Tranquil Tide). As you probably already figured out, I'm really loving the Painted Harvest Bundle (stamps and punch), so I decided to use it to create my CAS card!

After embossing a layer of Chocolate Chip to adhere to the card front, I stamped the Painted Harvest bloom with Tangerine Tango on Whisper White, cut it out with a smooth Layering Circles Framelit, and then added a Tangerine Tango mat behind it that I cut with a scalloped Layering Circles Framelit. I stamped the center with stamped-off Early Espresso, and then stamped the greeting with full-strength Early Espresso. The layers are adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added a Gold Faceted Gem to the center for some sparkle. I stamped the lined leaf from Painted Harvest with Tranquil Tide on Whisper White, then punched with the Leaf Punch. I adhered behind the layers with a glue dot.

Inside I stamped the Tangerine Tango bloom again, stamped the center with stamped-off Early Espresso, and added another Tranquil Tide-stamped leaf. I then stamped the Butterfly Basics sentiment with Early Espresso.

Be sure to stop by again tomorrow to see the stepped-up version of this card!

Stampin’ Up! In This World CCREW1017SK!

Posted on October 2, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's October, and time for a new set of Creative Crew projects over on Splitcoaststampers!

There are four challenges each month, with a total of 5 projects I have to create. My card today fulfills three challenges: Sketch, Color, and Theme!

The theme for October is "Comfy & Cozy".

Here's the sketch:

And here's the colors:

I've been dying to use the chair from the In This World set. Although a rather formal design, it still looks "comfy" to me!

I started with a Chocolate Chip card base, stamping the door, key, and "happiness" with Crumb Cake. I tried stamping with Chocolate Chip, even stamped-off Chocolate Chip, but it was just too dark. I stamped the chair with Basic Black Archival ink, then colored with Tranquil Tide squeezed into the lid of the pad and applied with a Blender Pen. I added some floor under the chair legs with Crumb Cake. It's almost impossible to see in the picture, but I added Clear Wink of Stella to the chair frame, mainly because I didn't want to leave it bare and Chocolate Chip was too dark. I cut the chair with a Layering Circles Framelit, then matted it with Tranquil Tide cut with a scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Framelits.

I added a strip of Tranquil Tide and one of Tangerine Tango, then added a piece of Vintage Crochet Trim from the Holiday Catalog. The trim added just the right amount of softness and tied in with the Basic Black-stamped chair. The scalloped circle focal image was added with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added stamped-off doors in Crumb Cake to the inside Whisper White layer, then stamped the In This World sentiments with Basic Black ink.

In This World is a carryover set from the last Annual Catalog. It has both masculine and feminine images. Go take a look at it and more in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Easel Quilt!

Posted on September 30, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is the September Christmas Card Series Class! I'm excited to share my creations with my friends! A very popular bundle in the Holiday Catalog is the Christmas Quilt Bundle, as well as all of the rest of the products in the Quilted Christmas Suite, but this bundle is not just for Christmas!

My creation to share today is another one using the Christmas Quilt stamp set,the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper:

Instead of using the Quilt Builder Framelits to make the "quilt square", I used the stamps from Christmas Quilt with Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze ink to stamp the Very Vanilla layer. I embossed the layers with the Quilt Top folder for the great overall quilted look. I added a Gold Faceted Gem in the center for some sparkle.

I added a strip of Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper, which was also embossed at the same time as the rest of the layers, then wrapped a piece of 1/8" Copper Trim. I tied the trim in a bow and added with a glue dot. I stamped a greeting from Wood Words with Early Espresso, punched with the Classic Label, and added with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added all of my layers to the front of a Chocolate Chip easel-fold card base.

I used the Butterfly Basics birthday greeting and a phrase from Painted Harvest, punched with the Everyday Label Punch and popped up with dimensionals to create the "stop" for the easel.

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Christmas Quilt!

Posted on September 29, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been playing a bit with the Quilted Christmas Suite! I love fall, with all of the warm colors, so I'm playing with fall colors: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, and Chocolate Chip! Sounds like Thanksgiving dinner, doesn't it?

I have a few projects lined up over the next few days to share, but first I want to share this straightforward card that also uses the Quilt Builder Framelits and Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder:

I cut the same design from Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Chocolate Chip card stock with a Quilt Builder Framelit Die, then used some of the pieces of each color to create the "quilt block" After adhering the block to the Very Vanilla layer and then the Crushed Curry layer, I embossed the whole thing with the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This technique is called "Inlaid Embossing".

I also stamped a Painted Harvest greeting with Early Espresso ink on the lower part of the vanilla layer before embossing. I added a single Gold Faceted Gem to the lower right corner for some sparkle.

Inside I stamped my favorite greeting from Butterfly Basics with Early Espresso ink, as well as couple of blooms from Christmas Quilt with Cajun Craze.

Stampin’ Up! Shutter Cards from Vacation Stamping School!

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm still struggling a bit with technology (still lots of passwords to re-establish, as well as printer connections, etc), and now my washing machine is broken. I've called the repair people. They hope to be able to send someone to me tomorrow. Until then I took several loads to Kimberly's today to run through her washer while I babysit. She is a lifesaver!

Today I'm still sharing more projects we saw demonstrated and displayed at Vacation Stamping School. There were two sessions where we could watch demonstrators "demonstrate" how they made a project, fun fold, or technique. Laura Borchert demonstrated how to make a shutter card and also had several samples to see.

Her first sample used the Fresh Florals Designer Paper and the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set:
