Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 5th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 5th!

Hey there! It's time again for Sunday Swap Day! yay!

Ruth Ann Lilley combined the Carols of Christmas set with Be Merry Designer Paper for a CAS (and quick) card:

Stampin_up_carols_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

Another creator used a Christmas Quilt sentiment with Be Merry Designer Paper, and a Stitched Shapes Framelit. Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Whisper White, and a bit of 1/4" Double-Stitched Cherry Cobbler Ribbon all coordinate together.

 Next, Karen Kurz used almost all of the Quilted Christmas Suite to create her easel card.

Stampin_up_christmas_quilt_carolpaynestamps2

 There's a surprise gift-card holder!

Stampin_up_christmas_quilt_carolpaynestamps3

 The Quilt Builder Framelits include dies to cut out the spool and the needle!

Stampin_up_christmas_quilt_carolpaynestamps4

 Finally, the creator of this card also used Quilted Christmas Suite elements with Watercolor Christmas stamps for a classic Christmas look. A Real Red card base embossed with the Quilt Top Textured Impression Embossing Folder, combined with a strip of Quilted Christmas 6 x6" Designer Paper, Emerald Envy, Whisper White, and a bit of Emerald Envy 3/8" Grosgrain Striped Ribbon are easy, yet very effective.

 1" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches easily create the tree embellishment, topped with a gold Metallic Enamel Shape (star).

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens, Part 3!

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens, Part 3!

Hey there! I'm so excited to share with you my favorite Smitten Mittens card so far!

These mittens are so inspiring, they make me think of warm and snuggly sweaters, so I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla with the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder and sponged it with Crumb Cake ink to create the background for the mittens.

Stampin_up_smitten_carolpaynestamps1

 I cut out an intricate mitten from both Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla, then backed each with the contrasting color. I added a couple of threads pulled from 5/8" Burlap Ribbon to "hang" them on the card.

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps2

 I love the bold but elegant greeting from Merry Misteltoe, stamped  with Cherry Cobbler on the Very Vanilla banner. I cut the Very Vanilla strip and then the Cherry Cobbler one a 1/4" longer before punching both with the Banner Triple Punch. I added a Hearts & Stars Element with liquid glue.

Stampin_up_merry_misteltoe_carolpaynestamps1

 The inside greeting is also from Merry Misteltoe.

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps3

 I created a mitten stencil by cutting a scrap piece of card stock with the die, then sponging with Cherry Cobbler ink. There are so many things you can do with die and framelits, it's crazy awesome!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day October 29!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day October 29!

Hey there! It's Sunday, which means it's time for Sunday Swap Day! yay! Today our whole family is traveling down to Kentucky to eat lunch at Patti's 1880's Settlement to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The kids debated whether to have a party/reception for us or to just go out together to eat and spend the day. We decide to go with the day together as a family and I am excited!

First for Sunday Swap Day, Cindy Ewertz created a simple but striking card with the Holiday Catalog set, Good Tidings. She used Lemon Lime Twist, Garden Green, Real Red, and Basic Black. A touch of Silver 1/8" Ribbon and a strip of Merry Music Specialty Designer Paper are the perfect finishing touches.

Stampin_up_good_tidings_carolpaynestamps1

Good Tidings images are lovely inside too!

Stampin_up_good_tidings_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Hearts Come Home set for her lever card.  She also used the Card Front Builder Framelits and Lots of Label Framelits. Dazzling Diamonds Glitter adds silvery snowy touches to the trees.

Stampin_up_hearts_come_home_carolpaynestamps1

I love the look with this fold!

Stampin_up_hearts_come_home_carolpaynestamps2

Kathy Johnson also used Hearts Come Home with the Hometown Greetings Edgelits (bundled to save 10%) and the Layering Squares Framelits. Night of Navy, Silver Foil, Whisper White, and touches of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper create the perfect winter scene.

Stampin_up_hearts_come_home_carolpaynestamps3

 This card is a window card! She added a snowflake cut with the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets Dies from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.

Stampin_up_hearts_come_home_carolpaynestamps4

Beautiful sentiment from Hearts Come Home and a Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer moon:

Stampin_up_hearts_come_home_carolpaynestamps5

Finally,  an anonymous creator used Season Like Christmas and Merry Music Specialty Designer Paper for an easel card.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps

 I just love the easel card presentation! The creator used Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, and Tranquil Tide, adding Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the trees for some snowy bling.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

Layering Ovals Framelits  were used to cut out the greeting that also acts as the easel "stop".

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens, My Second Creation!

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens, My Second Creation!

Hey there! Yesterday was such a busy day I never had a chance to blog! I had some urgent errands to run, as well as the first session of my Stamptober Christmas Card Class! The second session is today and starts very soon!

Today's card is the second I created while playing with the Smitten Mittens bundle. This time I used Pool Party, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, and a strip of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to create this:

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps1

I love the look of Whisper White with Crumb Cake and Pool Party! So snowy! I heat embossed the sentiment mitten with white embossing powder on Pool Party, then cut out with the open mitten die from the Many Mittens Framelits. I cut a companion mitten, also from Pool Party, with the knit-looking Many Mittens framelit.

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps2

I added a piece of Pool Party Solid Baker's Twine over some Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon, securing a tiny bow with a glue dot.

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps3

After embossing the layer with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, I colored a single pearl with my Pool Party Stampin' Blends marker. These alcohol markers will be available to order starting November 1st! You can add Stampin' Up! color to almost anything with these, in addition to coloring like  a pro!

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped the Smitten Mittens sentiment with Bermuda Bay ink so it would stand out just a bit more from the Pool Party stamped snowflakes.

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps5

There! Just in time for my class to start! Come back tomorrow for Sunday Swap Day, and then Monday I will be sharing another Smitten Mitten creation!

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens!

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens!

Hey there! I had a chance to play with the Smitten Mittens Bundle a few days ago. It's an adorable set! I paired it with Be Merry Designer Series Paper, Lots of Labels Framelits, and the Pretty Label Punch to create this as my "warm-up" card:

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps1

The Many Mittens Framelits made it easy to cut out the tiny mittens! I added a thread pulled from a piece of burlap ribbon with a glue dot on the back of each mitten, and added a Hearts & Stars Element heart with a glue dot for a homespun look. To add the tiny heart to the "smitten" "i", I inked the stamp with Garden Green ink, then rubbed the green off the heart that dots the i. After stamping, I added the heart back in with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker.

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps2

The inside sentiment and snowflakes are all included in the Smitten Mittens set! I loved this set when I saw it in the Holiday Catalog but hesitated to order it for some strange reason. I'm so glad I didn't skip this set!

Stampin_up_smitten_mittens_carolpaynestamps3

This is NOT the only card I created with Smitten Mittens, so be sure to check back tomorrow for another Smitten Mitten creation!
