Stampin’ Up! Silver Trees For Sale!

Stampin’ Up! Silver Trees For Sale!

Hey there! I've been very busy getting "my ducks in a row" before my daughter has her baby boy, Atreyu. Where she got the name is a story for another day, but as of today she is 41 weeks and 5 days. She has gone over two entire weeks before, and this is baby #six, so we shall see! She will be 42 weeks on the Fourth of July, so maybe we will have a "firecracker baby"?!

Today I have another card to share with you that I created with the Trees for Sale stamp set from the brand-new July/December Mini Catalog that just launched yesterday, and the Tree Lot Dies that I chose as my free gift with a $100 order from the Sale-a-bration Brochure!

Stampin_up_silver_trees_for_sale_carolpaynestamps1

I had an idea of what I wanted this card to look like when finished, so I started with an Evening Evergreen card base, then added a layer of Silver Foil Specialty cut 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".

Stampin_up_silver_trees_for_sale_carolpaynestamps2

After rubbing the 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Evening Evergreen with the embossing buddy found in the NEW Embossing Editions Tool Kit, I stamped the trees, snowflakes, and greeting with Versamark, sprinkled with Silver Embossing Powder, and then used my Heat Tool to make them all raised and shiny before I embossed the layer with the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder and my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

I cut detailed trees from Evening Evergreen using Tree Lot dies, then adhered over the silver embossed trees with tiny dots of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_silver_trees_for_sale_carolpaynestamps3

I turned the layer so the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder gave the card front a look of gently rolling hills. The greeting is from the new Hope & Peace stamp set, also found in the July/December 2022 Mini Catalog on page 40! I added this layer to the card front with dimensionals so I could wrap a 15" length of Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon around it and tie in a pretty knot. I secured the knot with a Mini Glue Dot. I highlighted the greeting with a small Rhinestone on each side.

Stampin_up_silver_trees_for_sale_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I added a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" layer of Smoky Slate card stock, then an embossed Evening Evergreen layer. I finished up the inside with a Basic White 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" layer stamped with another sentiment from Hope & Peace and more tree stamps from the Trees For Sale stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.

Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonderful Snowflakes!

Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonderful Snowflakes!

Hey there! Today I have another card to share with you that I have created for my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack tomorrow! I used the returning-from-last-year Snow Wonder with the Wonderful Snowflakes embellishment to create this Circle-Cut-Out card. I embossed the front white layer first with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders. then used a Blending Brush to lightly add Misty Moonlight ink to make the snowflake design "pop"!

Stampin_up_snow_wonder_carolpaynestamps1

I used white heat embossing for the Snow Wonder greeting, cut with an Ornate Frames die.

Stampin_up_snow_wonder_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the inside sentiment, also from Snow Wonder, with Misty Moonlight ink. I added a 1" strip of Silver Foil embossed with the same Wintry 3D folder.

Stampin_up_snow_wonder_carolpaynestamps4

I adhered one of the Wonderful Snowflakes with a glue dot to the Misty Moonlight circle cut from the front, then added a Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestone.

Stampin’ Up! Words of Cheer!

Stampin’ Up! Words of Cheer!

Hey there! I've been MIA for a few days while I've been on vacation in Pensacola Beach, FL, with some of my family! We have had a wonderful time, mostly playing at the beach every day, and are on our way home today. Loooong 10 hour drive, but it will be good to be back in our own beds tonight!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance Z-fold!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance Z-fold!

Hey there! It's Thursday, and today I have the 4th card for Christmas In July Week! Today I'm using Evergreen Elegance again with a z-fold and the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder!

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps8

The guide on each end of the Evergreen Border Punch made it easy to punch this almost 11" long strip of trees to add to the z-fold arm!

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps1

All of the sentiments and images used on this card are from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set, with the exception of the redbirds, which are from the Garden Birdhouses set.

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps3

I made sure I stamped all of the sentiments and trees first before embossing with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder.

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps5

I decided to forgo any other embellishments besides the two redbirds, which I hand-cut with my Paper Snips.

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps6

This was a simple card to make. You can find the measurements to make this card HERE when I made a Ride The Range z-fold.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance!

Hey there! I'm back again with Day #3 of Christmas In July Week! Today I have another new bundle from the Annual Catalog, Evergreen Elegance! This bundle consists of a red-rubber cling stamp set and a border punch. I didn't use the punch on today's card, but come back tomorrow and I will share a creation with it, ok?

For my card today I combined the Evergreen Elegance stamp set with the Wintry 3D embossing folders and gold heat embossing. Evening Evergreen ink, Basic White card stock, and gold embellishments all come together for such and elegant look!

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps2

I embossed the vellum with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders:

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps4
I heat-embossed the traditional Merry Christmas with gold powder, then added gold twine from the Elegant Trim Combo Pack and Gilded Gems to coordinate.

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps5

I cut a mat for the inside sentiment layer with a Stitched Rectangle die.

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps6

Every day I think today's card is my favorite, but wait till you see the one tomorrow!
