Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day September 10!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day September 10!

Hey there! Today is my 40th wedding anniversary! We've taken two trips, one to Chesapeake, VA to visit Mark's sister, and to Branson, MO, last week. Today we'll have a quiet day; church, dinner at home with the family, and church again.

On the stamping front, it's definitely fall around here. The nights are cooler, and the air is dry and  "dusty". To celebrate the beginning of fall, I'm sharing fall themed swaps using new Holiday Catalog products:

First,  Wendy Lee created with the Painted Harvest Bundle, using my fav, Burlap Background, on the Crumb Cake front, then stamping the sunflower with Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Early Espresso. The leaves are stamped with Old Olive and punched with the Leaf Punch.

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps1

Wendy  used the Classic Label Punch to create the slot for the Scalloped Tag Topper-punched slider.

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Kathy Johnson used the Painted Harvest Bundle, stamping her blooms with Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry.

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps3

She "fancy-cut" one bloom and a separate center to pop up on dimensionals. The leaves are Pear Pizzazz for the solid layer and Wild Wasabi for the leaf veins, punched with the Leaf Punch.

Ruth Bingle created a fun-folding card with Patterned Pumpkin Thinlets Dies and Spooky Night Designer Series Paper:

Stampin_up_pick_a_pumpkin_carolpaynestamps1

She used a Stitched Shapes Framelit for the background square:

Stampin_up_pick_a_pumpkin_carolpaynestamps2

A Paisleys & Posies sentiment coordinates with the Pick a Pumpkin images.

Stampin_up_pick_a_pumpkin_carolpaynestamps3

Finally, Cathy Miller used the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder to emboss the Crushed Curry background, then used the Pick a Pumpkin Bundle to stamp and cut out the pumpkins and gourds. "Hello Fall!" from Merry Cafe and a bit of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon complete her creation:

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Once Again!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Once Again!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you another Painted Harvest card I created while I was working on all of my cards for the Creative Crew on Splitcoaststampers. It didn't make it into my challenge offering, but I really like it and thought it was worth sharing:

Stampin_up_painted_autumn_carolpaynestamps1

I used the Painted Harvest Bundle (stamps and punch saving 10%), along with the Burlap Background and Butterfly Basics stamps.

After stamping both of the sunflower layers with Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso, I hand-cut the bloom with my Paper Snips to mount on the card front with dimensionals. I added a Gold Faceted Gem (you MUST have these if you don't already!) to the center for sparkle and dimension.

I stamped the leaves with Old Olive, then punched with the Leaf Punch included in the Painted Harvest Bundle. I adhered to the back of the sunflower with glue dots.

Stampin_up_painted_autumn_carolpaynestamps2

I created my banner with a 4 1/2" x 1" strip of Sahara Sand card stock. After I stamped the greeting with Early Espresso ink, I scored close to each end of the sentiment using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I scored another line 1/8" from both of the first scores. This allowed me to make a narrow "Z" fold for the banner lift. I sponged the edges with Soft Suede ink.

Inside I stamped another bloom and a Painted Harvest sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917SK Polished Stone Leaves!

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917SK Polished Stone Leaves!

Hey there! Today I am sharing my final project for the September Creative Crew Challenges on Splitcoaststampers. For this card, we were to use the Fall theme and this sketch for our inspiration:

Quilt_59a005a8794692f91addc1dcb1b4db874c98f64b

With a sketch you can follow it literally, using four squares arranged just as shown, or you can use another shape or whatever and go with the inspiration. I chose the later way to create my card:

Stampin_up_colorful_season_label_me_pretty_carolpaynestamps1

I used the Polished Stone technique from my previous post here. 

After stamping the leaf from Colorful Seasons with Early Espresso ink, I stamped a Label Me Pretty  sentiment on a plain area, then cut with a Seasonal Layers Thinlet. I arranged them to resemble the sketch over a Soft Suede layer I embossed with the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_label_me_pretty_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the inside with a Better Together sentiment and added another polished stone leaf.

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917TECH Polished Stone Colorful Seasons!

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917TECH Polished Stone Colorful Seasons!

Hey there! Another of the challenges for the September Creative Crew is to take a tutorial from the Splitcoaststampers and create a project with the Fall theme. I chose the Polished Stone tutorial by Beate Johns. You'll find her tutorial here.

I used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Real Red with the Polished Stone technique to create the leaves I stamped with a Colorful Seasons leaf and cut out with a Seasonal Layers Thinlet die. I added a Soft Suede leaf for contrast. If you've been watching my blog for a few days you probably have figured out that I'm in love with the Burlap Background stamp, especially when it's stamped on Sahara Sand card stock with Sahara Sand ink!

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_polished_stone_carolpaynestamps4

I'm also a little bit obsessed with this Happy Birthday greeting from Butterfly Basics! The Gold Faceted Gems add just the right amount of sparkle!

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_polished_stone_carolpaynestamps5

I breathed on the leftover ink on the Burlap stamp before I laid the Very Vanilla layer on it to gently rub for ink transfer. Label Me Pretty provided the sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917INSP Woodland Foxy Friends!

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917INSP Woodland Foxy Friends!

Hey there! Today I'm sharing another of my fall projects created for a Creative Crew Challenge at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/

We were give an assortment of Fall-themed pictures to inspire our work. Here are the three photos I used:

Birch_trees_5c0378868d17830d8644ee669e28ea2ab12a6d77  Leaf_6f559920a584826a32d6c976707913976f683412  Fox_ee3142f241e61259d6800538d9005ec096778eff

I used the Woodland Textured Impression Embossing Folder, Foxy Friends stamps, and Colorful Seasons Bundle:

Stampin_up_woodland_foxy_friends_carolpaynestamps1

How did Carol do that? Before embossing the Sahara Sand layer with the Woodland folder, I stamped a Foxy Friends fox with Pumpkin Pie ink and the stump with Early Espresso directly on the negative inside of the folder. (by "negative" I'm referring to the side where the tree trunks are not raised up) After carefully inserting the card stock into the folder against the un-inked side and closing it, I ran it through the Big Shot. I used a Blender Pen to smooth and add a bit more color to the fox, then used a Sponge Dauber to add Whisper White Craft ink to the tree trunks.

Stampin_up_woodland_foxy_friends_carolpaynestamps2

I used my popped-up banner technique to display the Colorful Seasons greeting, framing each side with leaves created with the Colorful Seasons Bundle and the Polished Stone Technique.The leaves get their brilliant colors from Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Real Red ink refills. (I will be sharing more about Polished Stone in my Monday post) I sponged Early Espresso ink onto Touch of Nature Elements for the finishing touch.

Stampin_up_woodland_foxy_friends_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped inside with the Butterfly Basics "Happy birthday"; stamping a couple of small Colorful Seasons leaves inked using the Baby Wipe technique and the Polished Stone ink refills.

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917SIP Painted Harvest and the Holiday Catalog is LIVE!!!!

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917SIP Painted Harvest and the Holiday Catalog is LIVE!!!!

Hey there! Today is the start of the Holiday Catalog! No more "sneak peeks"; you can order these inspiring products for yourself today!

I joined the Splitcoaststampers Creative Crew for the fall semester. The Creative Crew  is the Stampin' Up! Design Team on Splitcoaststampers, participating in challenges each month. The September theme is Fall. I love, love, LOVE fall!

The first challenge: create simple and stepped-up versions of the same project.  I used the Painted Harvest Bundle and the Burlap Background for mine.

 For my simple project I stamped everything on a Sahara Sand card base. NO LAYERS! (gasp!)
Stampin_up_painted_autumn_one_layer_carolpaynestamps1

Here's a tip with the large background stamps (clear mount): If you like to place your image face-up on your stamping surface like I do and then lay your card stock on the inked image to gently rub to transfer the ink, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THE GIANT STAMPING BLOCK!!! You can leave the stamp inside the case, ink with the pad, and then lay your card stock on it! This was a light bulb moment for me I just had to share! You will still need the largest clear block for some of our other large images and to arrange multiple stamps for collage stamping, but to leave the background stamps in the case this way is a huge time saver!

Step 1
After stamping the Burlap image with Sahara Sand ink, I went ahead and stamped the sunflower layer twice with Daffodil Delight, turning the stamp about a quarter turn between inkings to get a nice, full bloom. I stamped the inside flower layer with Fresh Fig, the center with stamped-off Soft Suede, and the "seeds" with full-strength Soft Suede.

Stampin_up_painted_autumn_one_layer_carolpaynestamps2

To stamp the Tranquil Tide leaves I stamped the largest bloom twice on a large Post-it Note, cut it out to create a mask, covered the sunflower with the mask before stamping the leaves around the bloom with the ends stamping over the mask. When I removed the mask the leaves have the look of depth, as if they are coming from behind the bloom.

Step 6 Stampin_up_painted_autumn_one_layer_carolpaynestamps2
I kept the front free of any other embellishment, I just let the stamps and ink do the work.

I added a card base of Tranquil Tide and a layer of Fresh Fig to start my stepped-up version:

Stampin_up_painted_autumn_stepped_up_banner_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the Butterfly Basics greeting on a 1" strip of Sahara Sand that I punched each end with the Banner Triple Punch. I scored twice 1/8" apart on each side of the words, folding on the score lines to make a raised banner. After sponging the edges with Soft Suede I popped them up on the card with a two-dimensional stack under the center and a glue dot on each end.

Stampin_up_painted_autumn_stepped_up_banner_carolpaynestamps3

I used the same masking technique for the leaves around the sunflower, adding a Gold Faceted Gem to the center to complete the stepped-up look.

I love this Painted Harvest sentiment:
