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.

Stampin’ Up! Swirly Bird Christmas!

Posted on July 10, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Some of the cards we're making at Christmas in July are created with non-Christmas sets. I created today's card with the Swirly Bird set and Celebrations Duo Textured Impressions Embossing Folder:

Starting with a Wild Wasabi card base, I embossed the lower portion of a 4" x 5 1/4" Crumb Cake layer with a Celebrations Duo Textured Impressions folder, followed by a 2" x 5 1/4" strip of Wood Textures Designer Paper.

I cut a Wild Wasabi "wreath" with a Swirly Scribbles Thinlet, adding a bow tied with Gold 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon and a few loops of thread pulled from a 6" piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon. I stamped a Real Red Swirly Bird "cardinal" on Real Red card stock, then hand-cut with a single pearl eye.

LOVE the tone-on-tone "HAPPY"!

I used a Real Red Stampin Write Marker to ink "CHRISTMAS" from the Better Together greeting, adding a tiny Heart & Stars Elements star with a thin layer of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! At Home with You!

Posted on July 8, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm working on more cards for my Christmas in July class next week. Want to come?

I created today's card with another new-but-not-exclusively-Christmas bundle, At Home with You!

The door and lanterns are white heat-embossed. The wreath, stamped with Garden Green Classic ink, was quickly sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set. All are cut out with At Home Framelit Dies. I unwound a Boxwood Wreath to adhere over the door with glue dots.

I added touches of red to the holly berries with my Real Red Stampin' Write Marker.

I created the "door" with Wood Textures Designer Paper, so both sides look like wood! The wall behind the door is embossed with the Brick Wall Folder, slightly stamped with the Watercolor Wash Background inked with Crumb Cake and stamped off three times.

I added a sentiment from Cookie Cutter Christmas that just fits inside the garland.

Stampin’ Up! Houndstooth Merry Mistletoe!

Posted on June 30, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's post is all about the Merry Mistletoe set again! I just love all of the images, especially the reindeer, in this set! I paired it again with the Be Merry Designer Series Paper, and added embossing with the Holly Textured Impressions folder for Christmassy "texture".

This time around I used one of the square Stitched Shapes Framelits, and matted it with a scalloped Layering Squares framelit in Cherry Cobbler. I added a Cherry Cobbler heart from the Regals Enamel Shapes because I love them sooooooo much!

Stamped the full "Christmas Wishes" in Cherry Cobbler on the white strip, then added a Cherry Cobbler strip to both the top and the bottom that I punched with the new Ticket Tear Border Punch.

Inside I stamped the full "Merry Christmas" sentiment, along with another Merry Mistletoe phrase. Stamping in the corners with the bowed bunting image finish it off quite nicely. I also stamped the bunting on the white envelope.

Hop on over to my online store to order this fun set! You don't have to wait for the Holiday Catalog in September to start making Christmas cards! http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Stampin’ Up! Merry Mistletoe!

Posted on June 29, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again today with another Christmas card, this time using the new catalog set, Merry Mistletoe and the Be Merry Designer Series Paper:

Be Merry Designer Series Paper contains just three colors: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, and Whisper White, but all of the prints and designs lend to gorgeous, Christmas-y looks! I stamped the reindeer with Early Espresso on Whisper White before cutting with a Stitched Shapes oval framelit. A Cherry Cobbler oval cut with a Layering Ovals Framelit makes a great frame. I added a Cherry Cobbler heart from the Regals Enamel Shapes pack.

I used a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker to ink up just the "wishes" portion of the "Christmas Wishes" sentiment, also from Merry Mistletoe. I hand cut the banner ends of all three banners, and added a Garden Green star, also from the Regals Enamel Shapes.

Inside I used more Merry Mistletoe images. Fun!
