Hey there! Welcome to the Thailand Achiever's Blog Hop!  This hop is with top demonstrators around the world that have achieved the amazing Stampin' Up!® Incentive trip! This month our theme is "Onstage Highlights". As demonstrators we get to go to special launch events highlighting new products. Of course this is only a highlight – we could show you so much more! Next time YOU need to come with us!

You may be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Carol Payne Stamps -  or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move from blog to blog to see all the projects. Right now you are visiting Carol Payne.

In addition to learning tips and tricks of 2017 Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalog products, I love to swap card ideas!

NOTE: None of the projects shown in this post were created by me. However I have put the Stampin' Up! copywrite  logo, contained in my personal watermark, on each for proper legality.

First, a swap created with This Christmas Specialty paper, Holly embossing folder, and Time of Year Hostess.

Next, Santa's Sleigh Thinlets with Warmth & Cheer Washi Tape:

  Stampin_up_santas_sleigh_carolpaynestamps2

An adorable baby card combining Layering Love, A Little Foxy Designer Paper, and Made with Love!

Stampin_up_layering_love_carolpaynestamps1

Finally, a gorgeous swap created with Moroccan Nights!

Stampin_up_moroccan_nights_carolpaynestamps1

The creator included a supply sheet:

Stampin_up_moroccan_nights_carolpaynestamps2

Stampin' Up! asks for demonstrator volunteers to create display board samples with new products. I attended OnStage Local in Kansas City, MO, so the samples I saw were different from other event locations!

The Balloon Adventures Bundle is from the Occasions Catalog Party Animal suite. LOVE  the new Balloon Pop-up Thinlets dies!

Stampin_up_balloon_adventures_carolpaynestamps1

Combining Foxy Friends with Balloon Adventures for an adorable kitty-kat balloon card!

Stampin_up_foxy_friends_carolpaynestamps

I'm running out of time and space for today, so I'll post more of my favorites from OnStage tomorrow (Thursday Nov. 17)!

Finishing with this cute fun Christmas banner created with the Candy Cane Lane Suite!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop November Edition Happy Holidays!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop November Edition Happy Holidays!

1723402_10152213035905070_85588169_n

 Hey there! Welcom to the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Happy Holidays, and while I prefer to say "Merry Christmas!", the collection of holidays from Thanksgiving through New Year's are indeed happy!

I chose the Santa's Sleigh bundle of stamps and thinlets for my project!

Stampin_up_santas_sleigh_carolpaynestamps1

I combined images from Lovely As a Tree and Peaceful Pines for the background, heat embossing with White powder.

Stampin_up_santas_sleigh_carolpaynestamps3

 I cut the sleigh base from Basic Black, then cut the intricate sleigh body from Basic Gray. I painted the body with Clear Wink of Stella before adding the Always Artichoke wreath and Cherry Cobbler bow.

Stampin_up_santas_sleigh_carolpaynestamps4

 "MERRY CHRISTMAS WISHES" is from Santa's Sleigh. I stamped the Gorgeous Grunge  fine-grain splatter stamp with White Craft ink for a snowy look.

Stampin_up_santas_sleigh_carolpaynestamps5

 Inside I used another phrase from Santa's Sleigh and another tree image from Peaceful Pines.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, Star of Light!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, Star of Light!

Hey there! It's Sunday, which means it's the day I get to share three swaps all made with Star of Light! yay!

First,  Angela Waters used Perfect Plum, Smoky Slate, Wisteria Wonder, and Whisper White for her color combo.

Stampin_up_star_of_light_carolpaynestamps_1

She layered three die cuts from the Starlight Thinlets for her focal image star. Beautiful!

Stampin_up_star_of_light_carolpaynestamps2

Adding sequins from the Silver Sequin Trim adds just the right amount of sparkle!

Stampin_up_star_of_light_carolpaynestamps3

Next, Rachel Tessman stamped the "milky way" stars with Whisper White on an Island Indigo background to make her Softy Sky/Very Vanilla star pop!

Stampin_up_star_of_light_carolpaynestamps4

The Star of Light set has 21 stamps, 9 of which are greetings or parts of greeting phrases!

Stampin_up_star_of_light_carolpaynestamps5

Finally, Deb Snyder used Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum, Very Vanilla, and Silver Glimmer for her gorgeous card:

Stampin_up_star_of_light_carolpaynestamps6

When you peel the plastic backing from the glimmer paper it becomes much easier to cut the intricate star design with the Big Shot and Precision Base Plate. Sweet Sugarplum Glitter ribbon from the 3/8" Glitter Ribbon Combo Pack beautifully pulls it all together!

Stampin’ Up! Foxy Flurry of Wishes!

Stampin’ Up! Foxy Flurry of Wishes!

Hey there! We arrived home safely from Kansas City yesterday afternoon, just in time for me to get to go to Christmas musical practice and church!

Today's card is an up-close-and personal look at the third and final card for the November Online Class with Foxy Friends and Flurry of Wishes!

Stampin_up_foxy_friends_carollpaynestamps1

I've been wanting to use the Foxy Friends set for quite a while, and now I've used it for TWO cards in less than a week!

Stampin_up_foxy_friends_carolpaynestamps2

I embossed the largest snowflake from Flurry of Wishes with Real Red Glitter Embossing Powder, then added the antlers that are part of the Foxy Friends set to make him into a reindeer!

Stampin_up_foxy_friends_carolpaynestamps3

You can see the sparkly-ness a little bit in this picture, but in real life it is dazzling! I stamped the nose with Versamark so I could emboss a Rudolf nose on him.

Stampin_up_flurry_of_wishes_carolpaynestamps1

"Merry Christmas" is from the Flurry of Wishes set.

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_warmth_carolpaynestamps1

Inside I embossed more Flurry of Wishes snowflakes, as well as a sentiment from Wrapped in Warmth. The snowflake stamped on the Smoky Slate designer paper-covered envelope flap is stamped with Real Red ink. I don't think glitter would be very compatible with the Post Office machines!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Christmas Pines!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Christmas Pines!

Hey there! I'm heading home from the Stampin' Up! OnStage Local event in Kansas City.  My swaps all use the Christmas Pines Bundle!

 First,  Vickie Deutsch's creation:

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps1

 A Mini Pinecone embellishment with Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps2

 Next, Kim Vogel used Emerald Envy, Cherry Cobbler for her swap. I love how she embossed the background multiple times with the Pine Bough folder!

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps3

 She accented the pinecones with a bow punched with the Holly Berry Builder Punch.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps4

 The elegant card was created by Brenda Marshall. Stamping with White Craft ink gives it a feathery look.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps5

 Brenda put Copper Foil behind the pinecones for some shine.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps6

 This swap has no name, but I love the use of the Cable Knit folder and the Scallop Tag Topper-punched tag!

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps7

 Finally, Linda Bauwin layered Old Olive Pine branches on Old Olive Pine Bough-embossed background for an elegant Christmas card.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps9

 She painted the bow with her Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for some shine!

Stampin’ Up! Letters for You NOEL!

Stampin’ Up! Letters for You NOEL!

Hey there! I'm so happy for my dad today. He was a Cubs fan all of his life, and although he's no longer with us, I'm still glad they won the World Series!

IMG_4518

Today's card  I created for my November Online Class using Large Letters Framelits,  Pretty Pines Thinlets, and Holly Textured Impressions Folder!

Stampin_up_letters_carolpaynestamps1

I love Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe, Very Vanilla, and Gold together.

Stampin_up_letters_for_you_carolpaynestamps2

I love  tree ornament from the Merry Tags Framelits Dies. I punched a 1 3/4" circle from Gold Foil to peek through the cut-out tree.

Stampin_up_letters_for_you_carolpaynestamps3

Cutting out Pretty Pines branches from Always Artichoke and Mint Macaron wasn't too tedious when using a slip of wax paper between the die and card stock, and also using the Precision Base Plate with the new Big Shot Platform.

Very Vanilla Lace Trim ties easily into a bow and added with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_warmth_carolpaynestamps

Inside are Christmas Pine branches with Always Artichoke and Mint Macaron, and a sentiment from Warmth & Cheer with Tip Top Taupe.

Stampin_up_letters_for_you_carolpaynestamps2

I really love the easy vintage elegance of this one!
