Stampin’ Up! Nothing Sweeter With Buffalo Check!

Posted on November 8, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is the first full day of the Stampin' Up! OnStage 30th Anniversary Celebration in Orlando Florida! Last night I attended "CentreStage" for demonstrators at the Silver Elite title and above at Disney's Epcot. Pictures will be coming soon!

Today I'm sharing another card inspired by the Nothing Sweeter "Shop By Occasion" feature in my online store!

I changed the colors from the original posted HERE.

For a homespun look, I used a Crumb Cake, Real Red, Call Me Clover, and Very Vanilla. I stamped a 2" x 4 1/4" Real Red strip with Buffalo Check and black ink. I love Buffalo Check! In case it retires on January 1st, be sure to order soon!

I cut the Call Me Clover tree with two tree dies from Sweetly Stitched Framelits. I stamped the lights with Call Me Clover and colored the Pearls with a Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend Marker. The snowflake was cut with a Sweetly Stitched Framelit too!

I stamped a Real Red greeting, then added the "rick-rack" stitching with a Sweetly Stitched Framelit.

I tried the greeting in Call Me Clover. Which color do you prefer?

Crumb Cake colored pearls!

Nothing Sweeter is clear photopolymer so you can stamp accurately. I stamped sentiment first, then the heart. The Very Vanilla layer is 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", and the Real Red mat layer is 3 5/8" x 4 7/8". I love this size for my inside layers because it zeroes in on the sentiment without lots of empty space. It's easier for me to decide how I want to stamp it!

Stampin Up! Sunday Swap Day November 4th!

Posted on November 4, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the first Sunday Swap Day of November! I'm leaving for the Stampin' Up! 30th Anniversary OnStage Event in Orlando, Florida in less than two days! I still have packing and swap creation to do! Eeeek! It's a long car ride( 6 of us in my team member's van, plus 3 flying), so I plan to finish them on the way. Tomorrow is a Darcy day, but this is doable!

A big reason I swap every month is because I love sharing swaps with you! Today's are with Limited-Edition Snow is Glistening stamps and Snowfall Thinlets. Have you ordered yours yet? They're only while-supplies-last, so don't wait!

First, Susan Legits used an AquaPainter to add bold strokes of Bermuda Bay and Blueberry Bushel to Watercolor Paper to create a background for the Snowfall Thinlets snowflakes.

She adhered the snowflake to the watercolor background with a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet applied to the card stock BEFORE cutting with the Snowfall Thinlet.

Next, an anonymous stamper used the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to emboss wax paper to create the Wax Paper Resist technique on the Bermuda Bay background. She also added a Limited-Edition Snowflake Trinket to the center.

Just lovely!

Finally, Susie Wood used a new technique, Frosted Clear Block, with Prussian Blue Brusho Crystal Colour to create this gorgeous background!

I can't wait to try this one!

Stampin’ Up! Spirited Snowmen Snow Couple!

Posted on October 30, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The only image from the Spirited Snowmen set I hadn't used yet was the sweet snow couple, so I created another ornament with the Faux Diamond Dust technique just for them!

I started by stamping, cutting, and coloring all of my pieces as shown below. I stamped the snow couple with Memento Tuxedo Black in before coloring with my Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. I then cut the snow couple out with Paper Snips.

I cut the dark blue background from a print from the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper pack. I adhered a piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet, removed the backing to expose the stickiness, then adhered the snow couple and the Classic Label-punched sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals.

After I sprinkled the stickiness with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Paper twinkled even more!

The "love never melts" sentiment fit perfectly in the Classic Label!

Stampin’ Up! Faux Diamond Dust!

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card was created with the Faux Diamond Dust technique with the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set and a sneak peek of new stamps and dies that will only be available to order in November!

I stamped a white layer with the background stamps from Beautiful Blizzard with stamped-off Coastal Cabana, then stamped full-strength Coastal Cabana snowflakes.

I adhered a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet, removing the remaining protective layer to expose the stickiness.

Next step I cut snowflakes with limited-edition Snowfall Thinlets from limited-edition White Velvet Sheets! This paper is so soft and pretty!

After adhering the snowflakes with Stampin' Dimensionals, I sprinkled the stickiness with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter for the "Faux Diamond Dust" effect!

The die-cut snowflakes are more rounded and full than when cut from regular Whisper White card stock!

I added a rhinestone to the center of each snowflake for a tad more bling!

I cut a snippet of a Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the tiniest snowflake!

I stamped the Beautiful Blizzard Greeting with Coastal Cabana on a strip of white, then used the Darling Label Punch to decorate the corners. I adhered to a strip of Coastal Cabana before adhering to the card front with dimensionals.

The inside sentiment and image are both from Snow is Glistening, which will be available to order on November 1st!

I really really love how Stampin' Up! creates sentiments from different sets that will coordinate with each other!

This card is my first one playing with Snow is Glistening. I'm looking forward to using it to make more!

Today's supply list. Note that the Limited-edition items will not be available to order until November 1st.

Beautiful Blizzard Clear-Mount Stamp Set [148562]	Snow Is Glistening Photopolymer Stamp Set [149742]	Snowfall Thinlits Dies [149692]
