Stampin’ Up! Gathered Leaves Shaker!

Posted on November 14, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Last weekend Stampin' Up! provided an online event to introduce the spring catalog to demonstrators. One great project shown was a shaker card that's soooooo easy to make!

The first card I created was with the Gather Together stamp set and the "orange" collection of sequins from the Sequins For Everything pack.

What makes this shaker card so easy is the Clear Envelope used to create the shaker! I simply stamped a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Very Vanilla with Gather Together images, sponged the edges, slipped it into the clear envelope, added a couple of pinches of sequins, and sealed up the back! Voila!

I then adhered to a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card front with Stampin' Seal. It will fit snugly into a Medium Very Vanilla envelope!

Inside:

Gather Together sentiment:

Dimensions:

Cajun Craze base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4"

Very Vanilla front shaker layer: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" inside sentiment layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Stampin’ Up! Fall Review!

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! My youngest son is moving back home so he can save money while getting his degree to teach High School English, so I am taking this first couple of days of the week to hunker down and get his room ready. You know how after your kids move out you just start using their room as a catch-all? Maybe you didn't do that, but I did and boy now I sure regret it. Everything in there has to either be re-stored somewhere else in my house, given away, or thrown away, and it's a big job!

Since I'm almost caught up with sharing my stamping creations and have no time to make more right now, I've decided to do a "fall review" of some of my favorite projects. I do have a couple of new ones, but they are connected to a Stampin' Up! promotion that starts tomorrow, so I will start sharing those on Tuesday.

To start off, I'm reaching all the way back to August 25th to share my Boho Indigo Embossed Strips Background. I used the Boho Indigo Product Medley and added Whisper White and Misty Moonlight card stock of my own. You can view the full post HERE.

Next, my Beautiful Autumn card from September 2nd. View the entire post HERE.

Next, everybody loved my Peaceful Nativity Diorama card. Get the details & dimensions HERE.

I loved creating this simple Birds & Branches for Christmas card. Get the details HERE.

I knew I hadn't played with the Country Home stamp set enough, so I created this card HERE.

I shrank the diorama dimensions to create this Snow Front Diorama that will fit in a Medium Envelope! Get the dimensions and details HERE.

That's all for today. I think I will save the rest of my favorites for another day. If you want to see more, you can always scroll through my blog and decide for yourself which ones are your favorites. I plan to be back tomorrow with a new creation, so be sure to come back!

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home!

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have the second sympathy card I created a few days go, this time with Sailing Home, Drybrush Background, and a little bit of Comfort & Hope!

After I created the Comfort & Hope card I shared with you HERE, I got to thinking that Drybrush could look like shiplap, or the paint peeling off of the hull of a ship, so I stamped a Whisper White panel with Misty Moonlight ink and loved the look!

After stamping and cutting out the lighthouse with a Smooth Sailing die, I cut another lighthouse from Misty Moonlight to cut in half vertically so I could layer it on each side of the stamped one to give it more depth and stand out from the Drybrush background of the same color.

I love this sentiment from Sailing Home. I cut it with the Story Label Punch and added a Misty Moonlight In Color Enamel Dot for my finishing touch!

Inside I used the Comfort & Hope sentiment. Sympathy cards are hard to make. This sentiment is perfect when there is nothing you can say to make it better.

Dimensions:

Whisper White Thick card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4"

Whisper White layer: 4" x 5 1/4" for lighthouse and greeting label: scraps inside sentiment layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Misty Moonlight inside layer: 4" x 5 1/4" for lighthouse mat and greeting label mat: scraps

Supplies to order:

Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set	Smooth Sailing Dies	Drybrush Cling Background Stamp
Comfort & Hope Cling Stamp Set (English)	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad	Paper Snips	2020–2022 In Color Enamel Dots
Story Label Punch	Whisper White Medium Envelopes	Stampin' Seal
Mini Stampin' Dimensionals	Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful!

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the Paper Crafting Monthly Blog featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world! You may have arrived from Shirley's blog. She had a fabulous project!

Our October theme is Fall with a Designer Series Paper focus since Stampin' Up! is offering a great sale on select Designer Series Papers this month for 15% off. I decided to use the Life is Beautiful stamp set with Plain Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, which is one of the sale packs!

I used the baby wipes technique to stamp the leaves on the trees, and then cut with a Celebration Labels Die.

The baby wipes technique is an easy way to get color on your stamps! I dropped Cajun Craze, Bumblebee, and Cherry Cobbler in refills on a baby wipe to create a custom "inkpad". Then I inked the leaves stamp with the baby wipe inkpad to get the lovely fall color! You can use the "inkpad" for multiple stampings in the same session!

I snuck in a little bit of Gathered Leaves with the pumpkins stamped with Cajun Craze.

Inside:

Stampin’ Up! Just Saying Hello!

Posted on October 19, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another fall-themed card with Gilded Autumn Specialty Paper! I'm so sorry Gilded Autumn is un-orderable right now!

I combined two Annual Catalog sets, Nature's Beauty (deer) and Tasteful Touches (greeting). After stamping the greeting with Early Espresso ink I stamped the deer with stamped-off-once Crumb Cake. I cut it and its' Cajun Craze mat with a Tasteful Labels Die.

I adhered the matted greeting on a layer of Gilded Autumn Specialty strips that I embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder and then sponged with Crumb Cake ink. I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim around the layer, securing on the back side with tape. I thought about adding a bow but decided this card didn't need one. I finished it all off with a Gilded Gem to coordinate with the gold and copper foil on one of the Gilded Autumn Specialty strips.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Pallet Thoughts with Early Espresso ink, then another stamped-off-Crumb Cake deer and a leaf spray from Tasteful Touches in stamped-off Cajun Craze.

Dimensions:

Cajun Craze card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2" greeting mat: 4" x 3" inside mat: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"

Early Espresso layer: 4" x 5 1/4" -need two

Gilded Autumn strips: 1 1/4" x 5" – need three to cover envelope flap: 2 1/4" x 5 3/4"

Very Vanilla greeting: 4" x 3" inside sentiment layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

1/4" Faux Suede ribbon: about 6 inches
