Stampin’ Up! Christmastime Is Here For A Quick Card!

Posted on October 30, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Not all of the bouquets on the Christmastime Is Here print will fit in the Roses Die that I used to cut out the roses for yesterday's card, so I decided to see if this one would fit in a Layering Oval Die, and it did!

More than one print in the Christmastime Is Here Specialty paper is accented with gold foil, sooooo gorgeous! I'm really glad the suite includes the Gold Shimmer Ribbon and the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to coordinate!

The Gold Glitter Enamel Dots come in four sizes, and with 160 per pack, you will have plenty for all of your Christmas cards!

I split this Christmas Rose Greeting to put half on the front, cut with an Ornate Frame Die . .

And the rest inside, also cut and matted with Ornate Frames Dies. The Ornate Frames dies are tucked back on page 53 in the Halloween section of the Holiday Catalog. Don't miss out. They are sooo versatile and gorgeous!

The finished inside:

I used the pinecone and pine needles images from Christmas Rose stamps to accent the inside and the envelope.

Come back tomorrow for another Christmastime Is Here project! You will be able to order from the Christmastime Is Here Suite on Friday, November 1st!

Stampin’ Up! Christmastime Is Here!

Posted on October 29, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! With just a few short days left in October, it's time to start sharing my creations with the Christmastime is Here Suite of products. These beauties will be available for you to order on November 1st, which is this Friday. I've been playing with it for a few weeks because demonstrators are allowed to pre-order new things before customers can, which is just one of the many good reasons you should consider purchasing the Demonstrator Starter Kit!

I've had a blast playing with this suite, and can't wait to share all projects I've made! To start off with today, I have a quick and easy Christmas card created with the Gold Foil-Edgesd Cards & Envelopes. The Christmastime is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper features gold foil on several of the prints, so these pre-cut and scored bases were perfect!

The Roses Dies coordinate with both the stamp set and the designer paper, so cutting out this bouquet was a snap!

I stamped the inside and the envelope flap with images from the Christmastime is Here stamp set using Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce ink.

I thought this card was my favorite until I made the card I will be showing you tomorrow! The Christmastime is Here Suite/Bundle is only available while-supplies-last, so be ready to place your order on November 1st!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday Again!

Posted on October 28, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back and ready to jump back into the blogging routine! I've just finished a couple of really hectic (but fun!) couple of weeks, so I'm hoping to slow things down a bit this week and get some pretty things made for a craft fair this next Saturday. On second thought, that doesn't sound like a prescription for "slowing things down" does it?!

Today I want to share with you a collection of fun cards and gift card holders created with the Cup of Christmas Bundle of stamps and dies! This set is unique because it has "reversible" stamps. The striped and polka-dot mugs are just one stamp. You stamp with it once, clean it, turn it over, then stamp with the other side of the stamp! Pretty neat!

The Cup of Cheer dies:

Bundled together to save 10%!

First a Cup of Christmas creation by Keisha Smith:

Next, Dena Rekow's creation features one of the "reversible" stamps in action!

By Jan Rodrian (CASED from Brian King):

Another by Jan Rodrian:

This one features cutting the cup on the fold so it opens up as a card on a card:

Finally a gift card holder, also from Jan Rodrian:

Jan used the Classic Label Punch to create the slot to for the gift card:

Stampin’ Up! Greatest Part of Christmas!

Posted on October 18, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been stamping a lot this week, so I have a little pile of fun things to share with you over the next few days! Today I want to share with you a card I created with a Holiday Catalog Host Set, Greatest Part of Christmas.

Host Sets are only available to stampers with orders of at least $150, either their own or a collection of orders from friends, direct with me or in my online store. Host Rewards start at 10% with a $150 order, so you have $15+ to spend on catalog merchandise, depending on the merchandise total. You can't get your hands on Host Sets any other way! (You can apply Host Rewards to the Demonstrator Starter Kit: $125 worth of products for $99 with free shipping)

I used the largest, boldest image from Greatest Part of Christmas to stamp the background with Mossy Meadow ink on a white layer. I used traditional Christmas colors of Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White, and gold. I cut a thin Gold Foil frame with two Stitched Rectangle dies.

I stamped the same sentiment with Cherry Cobbler ink, then hand-trimmed. I layered onto Cherry Cobbler, hand-trimming again. I added 1/4" Gold Shimmer Ribbon and Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (available on November 1) to accent.

I also used the other Holiday Catalog Host set, Holiday Haul, to add the adorable little Christmas tree to the bottom of the inside layer and the envelope.

You need these Host Sets!

Hey there! Today I have a bunch of fun swaps to share with you, all created with the Snowman Season Stamp set and the Let It Snow Suite!

First, a super-simple creation by Mary Knabe:

Next, Kathy Schaffer used the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit to add the muffler to the snowman's neck!

I love the font of this Merry Christmas greeting!

Janet Holmes created a z-fold for her swap.

She used Cherry Cobbler 3/8" Diagonal Stripe Ribbon to add a fresh candy-cane look!

The open z-fold:

Bernice Hallack used Shaded Spruce for the card base of her fun card:

She used Snowfall Accents Puff Paint to add accent to the snow:

She also added a bow of Real Red 1/8" Curly Ribbon. Soooo cute!

Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas!

Posted on September 30, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Fall is here, even though the weather is still feeling rather summer-like, the humidity is lower, there is a light fall breeze, and the calendar says it's fall! I'm jumping over fall today to share a Christmas card with you created with the Itty Bitty Christmas bundle. This card was my swap this month!

I used Blueberry Bushel, Whisper White, and Sparkle Glimmer paper for my color palette.

It's hard for the camera to capture how shimmery the background is, brushed with Clear Wink of Stella over the Eyelet Lace-embossed Blueberry Bushel layer.

The snowflakes are cut from Sparkle Glimmer Paper. The new Stampin' Up! dies are so much better at cutting and releasing the card stock than before! With almost all of the dies the card stock almost falls out when you lift it from the cutting machine!

I traced icicles with Shimmery Crystal Effects, then sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

I stamped the inside and envelope snowflakes with an image from the Free Skate stamp set, then used another Itty Bitty Christmas sentiment.
