Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas!

Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas!

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.

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

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.

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

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!

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

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

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_christmas_carolpaynestamps5

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

Stampin’ Up! Free Skate!

Stampin’ Up! Free Skate!

Hey there! Today is Tuesday School day, so in a little bit I'll be dropping Darcy off at the church. She LOVES her Tuesday School! Since Tuesday School is closer to my house than her house, Darcy spends the night with me on Monday nights, or as Darcy calls it, a "sweepover" (sleepover)!

My project share for today is with the Free Skate Bundle found on page 44 of the Holiday Catalog:

Stampin_up_free_skate_carolpaynestamps1

I grew up in Central Illinois, so ice skating was an important part of my childhood. Winter means skates to me!

Stampin_up_free_skate_carolpaynestamps2

After adhering the bow with a glue dot, I added a Blueberry Bushel Rhinestone from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones.

Stampin_up_free_skate_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the greeting with Delicata Silvery Shimmer ink before embossing with the Winter Knit 3-D Embossing Folder.

Stampin_up_free_skate_carolpaynestamps6

Inside I stamped the sentiment with the Silvery Shimmer ink and added the snowflakes with Seaside Spray ink.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Silvery Shimmer!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Silvery Shimmer!

Hey there! Yesterday evening my hubby & I took a lovely bike ride, spent some time with Alisa's family, and then went home to bed and slept marvelously! With my age, I've been having difficulty with waking up way too early, so I've been chronically tired for months. This sleep really helped me tons!

My card today features the Silvery Shimmer Delicata ink on Seaside Spray card stock.

I used the Basic Pattern Decorative Mask to sponge the trees. The look is so wintery, I love it!

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_silver_carolpaynestamps1

The deer peeking from the side!

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_silver_carolpaynestamps2

I used a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings set on the greeting banner, cut the end into banner points, then added a rhinestone.

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_silver_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I used images from both Rustic Retreat and Nature's Beauty.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty for Christmas!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty for Christmas!

Hey there! I love this Nature's Beauty stamp set soooo much! Today's creation is another one with Nature's Beauty, Come to Gather Designer Series Paper, and Rustic Retreat stamp set.  I have a couple more cards to share with this set and then I'll move on to another set, I promise! lol!

I really love how this one turned out!

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the trees from Nature's Beauty with the Delicata Silvery Shimmer ink on Early Espresso, then punched with the 2 1/4" Circle Punch. I adhered Snowflake Sequins, which are new in the 2019 Holiday Catalog, with tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I was able to place the tiny snowflakes and sequins by using my Take Your Pick tool.

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

I again stamped directly on the wood grain print from the Come To Gather Designer Series Paper pack with a greeting from Rustic Retreat and Cherry Cobbler ink for a sentiment that really popped!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Friendship for Christmas

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Friendship for Christmas

Hey there! Today is the final session of my Christmas in July Class, so I'm sharing the 6th card we are making with the new catalog set, Beautiful Friendship! I chose Merry Merlot and Rococo Rose for my colors, with Mint Macaron for accent.

Stampin_up_beautiful_friendship_carolpaynestamps1

The Rococo Rose layer is embossed with the Country Floral 3-D folder. The blooms and leaves are stamped on Shimmery White card stock, and we're stamping "MERRY" and "WISHES", from Merry Christmas to All, with Merry Merlot.

Stampin_up_beautiful_friendship_carolpaynestamps2

It's hard to see in the pictures, but we are adding extra shimmer to the blooms with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Stampin_up_beautiful_friendship_carolpaynestamps3

Adding a Petal Pink Rhinestone to the lower corner gives more interest and sparkle.

Stampin_up_beautiful_friendship_carolpaynestamps4

Bet you're not surprised this card is an easel-fold, my favorite!

Stampin_up_beautiful_friendship_carolpaynestamps5

Inside we are stamping a sentiment from Dashing Deer.

Stampin’ Up! Making Christmas Bright for Christmas in July!

Stampin’ Up! Making Christmas Bright for Christmas in July!

Hey there! This afternoon is the first session of Christmas in July! Today I'm sharing another one of the cards we will be making, a Corner Tuck Fold with Making Christmas Bright!

Stampin_up_making_christmas_bright_carolpaynestamps1

I used a traditional Christmas color scheme of Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla. I added snippets of burlap-looking designer paper from the Pressed Petals Specialty pack.

I added Red Rhinestones to the Mossy Meadow-stamped starry wreath, and added a tiny burnished metal bow from the Bird Ballad Trinkets.

Stampin_up_making_christmas_bright_carolpaynestamps2

I love those bulbs with the "merry" "and" "bright" stamped in Cherry Cobbler!

Stampin’ Up! Ride With Me!

Stampin’ Up! Ride With Me!

Hey there! The adorable Ride With Me is reminiscent of the retired Loads of Love, but the dies make a free-standing truck!

My card today uses just the Ride With Me stamps, but I added special touches with the Making Christmas Bright set:

Stampin_up_ride_with_me_carolpaynestamps1

Please excuse the "cloudy" picture. My cold camera lens fogs up in the humid Southern Illinois heat. I clean the lens before and after each picture taken, but sometimes it fogs up again before I take the next one!

I added more festiveness with the tangled Christmas bulbs from the Making Christmas Bright set, stamped with Garden Green ink and colored with Real Red and Garden Green markers BEFORE embossing with the Scripty 3-D folder.

Stampin_up_ride_with_me_carolpaynestamps2

The Truck Ride Dies do not cut out the stamped truck, but it was pretty easy to cut with scissors.
