Stampin’ Up! Spirited Springy Snowmen!

Posted on October 17, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've played with the Spirited Snowmen A LOT. This set is a MUST HAVE! I had fun making this little guy:

He shimmies with just a flick of your finger, thanks to a tiny custom-made spring!

I stamped Very Vanilla with the Buffalo Check background and Pool Party ink, then used a Sponge Brayer to roll Pool Party ink over a snowflake stencil created with the Blizzard Thinlet. I cut it with a Layering Oval Framelit to create the background for the springy snowman.

After stamping the snowman with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloring with Stampin' Blends, I cut him out with Paper Snips.

Paper-cutting Tip: Cut slightly outside the lines of the image, leaving a narrow edge of white all around. This gives your eye the impression that the cutting is smoother than it might not really be. As you cut on the curves, move the PAPER more than you move the scissors. This also helps you to cut more smoothly!

I adhered him to the card front with the custom-made spring.

I added a greeting from Beautiful Blizzard and embellishments cut with the Blizzard Thinlets Die. I added rhinestones for extra sparkle, of course!

Inside I used another Beautiful Blizzard sentiment and more brayering with the snowflake stencil.

Wondering about that spring? I have another Spirited Snowman card to share tomorrow, AND a mini-spring tutorial!

First, Rhonda Bassler has taken a unique approach to create this Beautiful Baubles card by combining both Whisper White and Very Vanilla card stock. She has achieved an elegant look, which includes the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Jenna Roby used the Beautiful Blizzard Bundle with Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Paper for her creation:

A z-fold allows for a lot more area to embellish!

She finished off her card with Copper snowflakes cut with the Blizzard Thinlets Die.

Deb McCahan mixed Clear Embossing Powder and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to create the custom Rich Razzleberry background for the snowflakes and the Beautiful Blizzard greeting:

A lovely card inside & out!

Finally, Lorraine Duran combined Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper with Dashing Deer for a warm, homespun look!

The flourished detail of the deer image is simply gorgeous! She accented the nose with a Red Rhinestone Basic Jewel.

This card has a surprise flap, revealing a Dashing Deer sentiment!

Stampin’ Up! My Spirited Snowmen Shoebox Swap!

Posted on October 13, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've shown you all of the Yes Mam! Stampers Shoebox Swaps except for mine, so I'm sharing it with you today! I used the Spirited Snowmen set with the Corrugated Dynamic folder, Blizzard Thinlet, and Shimmery White Embossing Paste to create this fellow:

Anytime I color with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers I make sure I stamp my image first with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, which is specially formulate to not bleed when colored with the Stampin' Blends.

The Shimmery White Embossing Paste is perfect for adding "snow" to any wintry project. I used one of the Palette Knives to smear the paste literally all over the card! The Embossing Paste dries quickly, so it not only is easy to handle as I assemble the card, but I also have to remember to clean the Palette Knife right away!

I cut the snowflakes with the Blizzard Thinlets Die, then adhered with a glue dot. I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels as the final touch!

I stamped-off the Crumb Cake-inked snowman twice before adding him to the inside. The sentiment and the snowflakes are all from Spirited Snowmen.

Here's the supply list for today's card:

Spirited Snowmen Clear-Mount Stamp Set [148072]	Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [148026]	Blizzard Thinlits Die [147902]	Layering Ovals Framelits Dies [141706]
Shimmery White Embossing Paste [145645]	Palette Knives [142808]	5/8" (1.6 Cm) Striped Burlap Trim [147889]	Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [120953]

Stampin’ Up! Yes Mam! Stamper Martha Swift’s Stunning But Easy Creations!

Posted on October 12, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! As promised, today I'm sharing the creations my team member, Martha Swift, shared with us at our team meeting earlier this week!

First, a Whisper White Thick card base with a layer of Garden Green. Add a pre-printed card from Santa's Workshop Memories & More Card Pack to a Whisper White layer, then adhere to the Garden Green . Stamp a Mistletoe Season greeting with Garden Green, then cut with a Stitched Labels Framelit. The Christmas Pines holly was stamped with Garden Green with Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels added for the final touch.

Martha continued with the same layout and another Santa's Workshop Memories & More Card Pack piece, this time using Poppy Parade for the background. Such a stunning but deceptively easy card!

Martha's favorite background stamp is the Buffalo Check, so she inked it with Garden Green ink to stamp on Whisper White, then embossed the Whisper White Thick card front with the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. LOVE it!

A Real Red version:

Stampin’ Up! More Yes Mam! Stampers Holiday Catalog Shoebox Swap!

Posted on October 11, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Darcy spent the night, "we r havin' a sleepover!" as she says, so no time to post before bed like I usually do. She's veggin' with some cartoons this morning while I work on this post before we head out for our day. She doesn't know it yet, but she gets to play with a pack of favorite cousins at a favorite aunt's house today! Oh, to be three-and-a-half again!

For our Mam's Team Meeting, Tina Biby used Spirited Snowmen with the Sprig Punch, Festive Farmhouse Designer Paper, and Galvanized Metal Paper to create her swap. The Galvanized Metal Sheet has a "dull shine" to it that is just perfect for this card.

Inside she used a sentiment from Nature Sings:

It was easy to stamp the shower of snowflakes around the snowman! I love this look!

Next, Linda Reaney combined Dashing Deer with the Woodland and Softly Falling Textured Impressions folders and a snowy tree cut with an In the Woods Framelit. She punched the greeting with the Tailored Tag Punch.

Angie Lisk is a busy working nurse at two hospitals, but she found time to CASE her swap from Lori Pinto, combining the Winter Woods Bundle with the Merry Christmas to All stamp set:

The inside sentiment is also from Merry Christmas To All, accompanied by a few stamped-off Winter Woods trees.

I have one more shoebox swap to share with you tomorrow by Martha Swift. Martha brought so many examples to choose from, her swap gets a blog post all to itself!
