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

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

Hey there! Monday Night I hosted a meeting for my team, the Yes Mam! Stampers.  There were 10 of us stamping, chatting, laughing, and sharing!

43458425_10205412331663305_8739981258760650752_n

The bulk of our meeting was a "shoebox swap". Everyone designed a card, prepped the cardstock, etc., then gathered all of the supplies needed into a "shoebox". We then made each other's cards, having a lot of fun in the process! I'll share half of them today and the rest tomorrow.

First, Angela Black's swap was designed using the Making Christmas Bright Bundle from the Holiday Catalog. We punched a bunch of "petals" with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch from Wood Textures Designer Paper, then sponged with Crushed Curry ink to create the sunflowers. The sentiment from Love What You Do is stamped directly on an Wood Textures Designer Paper layer:

Cathy Lingle created her swap with Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper and the Timeless Tidings stamp set. She embellished with Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine, 5/8" Striped Burlap Trim, and a Galvanized Button, and used the Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions folder on the Mossy Meadow card front.

Finally for today (there will be more swaps tomorrow!) Ruthanne Lewis created an easy little treat pouch with a 6" x 6" piece of designer series paper, then turned it into a sucker-holder simply by snipping a little hole in the bottom for the stick to go through! She used a Detailed with Love sentiment, punched with the Pretty Label Punch.

Carol Payne Stamps Farmhouse Christmas Easels!

Carol Payne Stamps Farmhouse Christmas Easels!

Hey there! I'm loving playing with all of the elements of the Festive Farmhouse Suite! Today I have a couple of easel cards that are almost the same, but I flipped the designer paper over for an alternate look!

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_easel_carolpaynestamps1

 I started with these two prints from the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper pack:

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_easel_carolpaynestamps2

 I stamped the pickup truck on to watercolor paper before coloring with Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Smoky Slate and Basic Black Stampin' Blends. I then cut out the colored pickup with  a Farmhouse Framelit Die and popped it up on dimensionals.

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_easel_carolpaynestamps3

 I punched Mossy Meadow card stock with the Duet Banner Punch to frame the easel stop sentiment.

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_easel_carolpaynestamps4

 For my second card I simply turned the designer paper over for a new look!

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_easel_carolpaynestamps7

 I think I did a better job coloring the pickup with the light and dark Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin' Blends!

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_easel_carolpaynestamps6

 All of the images inside are from Farmhouse Christmas!

Carol Payne Stamps Farmhouse Christmas Gift Tags!

Carol Payne Stamps Farmhouse Christmas Gift Tags!

Hey there! Stampin' Up! is right on trend this year with the Festive Farmhouse Suite! I created a couple of tags with the Farmhouse Christmas Bundle to kick off my playtime!

I used Cherry Cobbler  for one tag base and Mossy Meadow for the other one. I heat-embossed the pickup truck with white Stampin' Emboss Powder, punched the Crumb Cake greeting with the 2" Circle Punch and used a Farmhouse Framelit to cut out the "Merry Christmas".

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

 After heat embossing the pickup with White embossing powder, I colored in the body of the truck with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and the card interior, wheels, and front grill with a Basic Black Stampin' Blend.

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

 I secured the 5/8" Striped Burlap Trim with a bit of Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine and a Galvanized Button

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

 The Mossy Meadow version is very similar but without the Clear Wink of Stella  on the truck body.

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

 I used the Cherry Cobbler Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine to secure the Galvanized button.

Stampin_up_farmhouse_christmas_carolpaynestamps5

 Inside I used a sentiment from the Sincerely Santa stamp set for the "TO:  FROM and stamped the itty-bitty wreath with Mossy Meadow ink.
