Stampin’ Up! Bonus Days & Christmas in July Ends Today!

Posted on July 31, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The card I'm sharing today I created for a blog hop that unfortunately I was unable to participate in, but it's appropriate for today because today is the last day of the Bonus Days promotion AND the last day to purchase the Demonstrator Starter Kit and get the Carols of Christmas set added to your kit for free! See all of the details about both promotions at the bottom of this post, but for now, here's my card:

I combined the Carols of Christmas stamps with Be Merry Designer Series Paper, Gold Glimmer Paper, and Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim.

After stamping the ornaments (each side is a different set, can you tell?) with Cherry Cobbler ink I sprinkled with Clear embossing powder and heat set with my Heat Tool for extra shine and dimension.

I wrapped about 40 inches of lace around my hand 5 times then tied the piece of ribbon I had wrapped around the card front around the middle of the loops to create the fun, loopy bow!

Inside I stamped more Cherry Cobbler clear-embossed ornaments, then used my favorite Butterfly Basics phrase and the Teeny Tiny Wishes Merry Christmas.

Stampin’ Up! Cookie Cutter Christmas!

Posted on July 15, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! A few days ago I found an idea for a 9th Christmas card using the Cookie Cutter Christmas set and coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. This is not an original idea by no means, but here's my version using new designer paper and ribbon:

Although the photography doesn't do it justice, I embossed the Cherry Cobbler layer with the Polka Dot Basics folder. I wrapped the front with Silver 3/8" Metallic-edge ribbon.

After punching two identical reindeer with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch I trimmed off one set of reindeer antlers and added a Red Glimmer bow, also punched with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. I mounted them with dimensionals on an oval cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit.

I had little strips left from cutting another project, and they worked perfect to add to the sides of the sentiment layer inside.

Stampin’ Up! Carols of Christmas Deck Those Halls!

Posted on July 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Carols of Christmas Bundle is so fun! A fan favorite of those allowed to preview the upcoming Holiday Catalog months ago, I've been told there are MORE products coming in the Holiday Catalog that coordinate! I'm also partial to anything named "Carol", so I can hardly wait!

While I'm waiting, I've created another card with the Carols of Christmas Bundle, Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst, and Gold Foil Sheets for my Christmas in July class:

I used the Card Front Thinlets Dies to cut the border and the blooms. I embossed the greeting with gold powder on the Very Vanilla layer.

I added Gold Metallic Enamel Shapes to the flower centers to pull it all together.

Inside I gold embossed a sentiment from Layering Love. There are many non-Christmas themed sentiments that can be purposed for Christmas cards. Look through your stash and you may be suprised!

Stampin’ Up! Carols of Christmas!

Posted on July 13, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Carols of Christmas Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek is exclusive for Demonstrators this month, but next month YOU can order it too!

I LOVE the images in the Carols of Christmas set, and having the Card Front Builder Framelits to coordinate is just so much sweeter! I chose to use Basic Black, Powder Pink, Whisper White and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer to create my first card:

I cut the Basic Black layer with the moon & stars card front builder thinlet before embossing with the Woodland folder. I sponged the raised tree trunks and branches with White Craft ink.

I stamped "PEACE ON EARTH" with Basic Black Archival ink on Powder Pink, quickly sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder, and heat set. I then cut it with the largest Stitched Shapes Framelits circle.

The trees are cut from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper. The deer is also embossed with black ink and clear powder, then cut with a coordinating Card Front Builder Thinlet.

There are only two bold sentiments in Carols of Christmas, so I used "sending wishes your way" from Butterfly Basics, and "merry christmas" from Teeny Tiny Wishes inside the card. I used the negative image cut with the tree die to sponge Powder Pink for a background.

This card, along with one more using Carols of Christmas, are both featured in my Christmas in July class this weekend. Come back tomorrow to see the 2nd one!

Stampin’ Up! Hang Your Stocking!

Posted on July 12, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Another set from last year's Holiday Catalog that I didn't get to play with enough was Hang Your Stocking and the matching framelits. I nosed around on Pinterest a bit and came up with a design using last year's products that I was easily able to adapt to current ones. I used Be Merry Designer Series Paper and the Softly Falling Textured Impressions folder for the backgrounds of this happy stocking:

I used the "stitching" stamp from Hang Your Stocking with Cherry Cobbler ink before cutting with the Christmas Stocking Thinlet. There are five different stocking dies in the set! I added a Gold 1/8" Trim bow and stamped the greeting in Garden Green ink.

After I cut out the stocking I added the snowflake to the bottom right corner with a gold Metallic Enamel Shape for some bling.

The inside sentiment is also from Hang Your Stocking. I used the opposite side of the design used on the front for a 1/2" wide side strip. A tiny snowflake and tree complete my design.

Stampin’ Up! Sheet Music Seasonal Bells!

Posted on July 11, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I ordered the Seasonal Bells stamp set too late before last Christmas to get a good chance to play with it. I’m glad it carried over to the new catalog!

For my Christmas in July card today I combined Seasonal Bells with Sheet Music Background, Pool Party, Smoky Slate, and Whisper White. I embossed the Pool Party panel with the Sparkle Textured Impressions folder and used Bermuda Bay ink and ribbon for that “pop” of color almost every card needs!

After embossing one bell with Versamark and silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder , I stamped a second bell on Pool Party with Bermuda Bay ink then quickly sprinkled with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed. If you work quicky you CAN emboss in any color of Stampin’ Up! ink! I punched both with the Bell punch. Bermuda Bay 3/8” Mini Chevron Ribbon anchor both bells to the card front, while Stampin’ Dimensionals provide hidden support!

After using a Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write Marker to ink a portion of the “Best Wishes” image, I stamped the curly top & bottom frames on white, then added “NOEL” with the Labeler Alphabet. After punching with the Pretty Label Punch, I punched again from both Pool Party and Smoky Slate. I cut each in half long-ways to add behind the greeting. Two rhinestones add a bit of bling.

Inside I stamped-off the Basic Gray-inked Sheet Music image twice before laying the white layer on the rubber and gently tapping my fingers over it. I finished off with the Seasonal Bells image “Happy Christmas”, stamped in Bermuda Bay.
