Stampin’ Up! Merry Mistletoe!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Mistletoe!

 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:
Stampin_up_merry_mistletoe_carolpaynestamps1

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!

Stampin’ Up! Watts of Occasions!

Stampin’ Up! Watts of Occasions!

Hey there! We've had Oakley and Lando with us since yesterday morning while their parents took a short trip for their anniversary. We've had picnics outside, Oakley rode in the big-rig sprayer with Papa, and we took a fun "hike" last night just as the sun was going down. Fun times making memories!

Today's card was created with the new Watts of Occasions set. It has five different light bulbs and 5 separate greetings, so it's unique AND versatile! I used the Christmas tree bulb and greeting for my first card with this set:

Stampin_up_watts_of_occasions_carolpaynestamps1

The Whisper White background layer is embossed with the Holly folder, and I used Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green Stampin' Write markers to color the components of the bulb and the greeting. I added a silver Metallic Enamel Shape star to the top of the tree.

Stampin_up_watts_of_occasions_carolpaynestamps2

I love, love, LOVE the Cherry Cobbler 1/4" Double-Stitched Ribbon!

Stampin_up_watts_of_occasions_carolpaynestamps3

I don't think we send enough thank-you's for Christmas gifts, so I used my Stampin' Write Markers again to add a sentiment from One Big Meaning.  I stamped the bulb again in the lower left corner, making it look a bit like a  snow globe!

I'm planning a Christmas in July class next month. I'm thinking this card may just be included in the class!

Stampin’ Up! Eastern Beauty for Christmas!

Stampin’ Up! Eastern Beauty for Christmas!

Hey there! I created another Eastern Beauty Circle Fancy Fold card; this time for Christmas! There are two dies in the Eastern Medallions Thinets that work together perfectly to create a poinsettia! This is one of the few cards I've ever made without a greeting visible at first glance. I normally like my cards to "speak" to you from the front, but this poinsettia is just so gorgeous, it speaks on its' own!

Stampin_up_eastern_beauty_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I used the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers again, adding a Gold Faceted Gem to the poinsettia center.

Stampin_up_eastern_beauty_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

To add more gold shine, I added an identical layer behind the Cherry Cobbler poinsettia cut from a Gold Foil Sheet!

Stampin_up_eastern_beauty_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

I used Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers with Cherry Cobbler stamping to complete the almost "Scandinavian Christmas" look! Each package of Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers has TWO sheets of TWO different designs for a total of 4 sheets and LOTS of stickers.

Stampin_up_eastern_beauty_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

There's no end to the combinations you can make with all of the images in the Eastern Beauty set!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas!

Hey there and Merry Christmas! I'm so thankful that even though as I get older Christmas seems to keep coming faster and faster, it's still such a special time to reflect on faith and treasure my family. We are all gathered today to celebrate the birth of our Savior. First thing we will have a little "birthday party for Jesus" at breakfast with cupcakes and candles to blow out. After church  we will be having Christmas dinner at our house, followed by the Christmas story read aloud from Luke chapter 2. Then we will have our family time to open presents. Different from most Christmas mornings where stockings and presents are the first order of the day. We usually have the Christmas story on Christmas Eve, but since Christmas is on Sunday we changed things up a bit.

This Christmas card I received from my friend Kristin Kortonick is just perfect for today. Kristin used the Joyful Nativity set from the Annual Catalog to create this masterpiece of simplicity:

Stampin_up_joyful_nativity_carolpaynestamps1

Crumb Cake, Dapper Denim, and Very Vanilla with the Stitched Shapes Framelit circle and Softy Falling Textured Impressions Folder combine to make this card just right!

Next, Jessica Taylor also used Joyful Nativity, combining Cherry Cobbler, This Christmas Specialty Designer Paper, and Very Vanilla. LOVE the trumpeting angel heralding Christ's birth!

Stampin_up_joyful_nativity_carolpaynestamps2

The sentiment of this card by my downline, Angie Lisk, pretty much sums up my prayer for all of you this season and for 2017:

Stampin_up_stitched_with_cheer_carolpaynestamps

She used a Stitched with Cheer sentiment, Warmth & Cheer Designer Paper, Flourish Thinlets, and the Softly Falling folder.

I hope you have a Christmas that is filled with the love and laughter of those you love the most, and that you will learn to seek His face more and more in 2017.

Come back and see me again tomorrow. I will be starting to share more ideas and projects from the upcoming Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Wishes By Tina!

Stampin’ Up! Merriest Wishes By Tina!

Hey there! I saved this card from the Mam's Christmas party to share with you today, a gorgeous card created by Tina Biby! Tina used the color combo of Basic Gray and Whisper White for a different "starry night" look:

Stampin_up_merriest_wishes_carolpaynestamps3

She embossed with the Woodland Textured Impressions folder, added Basic Gray swirls with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlets, cut Vellum and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer with Star Framelits, and added a tag cut with Merry Tags Thinlets. She stamped "Glad Tidings" from Merriest Wishes with Basic Gray for her greeting, then added shimmer with her Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen.

Stampin_up_christmas_magic_carolpaynestamps1
