Stampin’ Up! Embellished Ornaments for the October Online Class!

Stampin’ Up! Embellished Ornaments for the October Online Class!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you the second card I created for the October Online Class, this time with Embellished Ornaments!

Stampin_up_embellished_ornaments_carolpaynestamps1

I used Floral Boutique Designer Paper (on sale this month B3G1Free!) for the background, then cut ornaments from Dazzling Diamonds and Silver Glimmer paper. I removed the plastic-backing from the glimmer paper before cutting with the Delicate Ornaments Thinlets. Using the Precision Base Plate under the glimmer paper while cutting and using the Big Shot Die Brush to remove the pieces really helped speed-up the process. I also used the new Big Shot Platform with it's extra shims built-in to get the tightness needed to cut the paper all the way through.

I looped Silver 1/8" Ribbon twice before tying in a bow added with a glue dot.

 These pictures really can't do this card justice. It's spectacularly gorgeous in real life!

 I hand-cut the banner ends with Paper Snips and added a single rhinestone for a final embellishement.

Stampin’ Up! Star of Light for the October Online Class!

Stampin’ Up! Star of Light for the October Online Class!

Hey there! I know you've been seeing the full October Online Class cards at the bottom of every recent post, but I thought you might like to see each card up close. Today's card was created with the Star of Light Bundle and This Christmas Specialty Paper:

Stampin_up_star_of_light_this_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I used a modified z-fold for the layout by securing the narrow front flap with dimensionals.

Stampin_up_star_of_light_this_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

The sheet music design from This Christmas Specialty paper makes the perfect background for the Bethlehem star, cut from Gold Glimmer (I peeled the backing off before I cut with the thinlet) and mounted on a slightly larger one of Island Indigo. A single rhinestone accents the center. I stamped-off the "milky way" star flourish with Island Indigo ink behind the star.

Stampin_up_star_of_light_this_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

The Starlight Thinlets has 7 dies of varying sizes. I used the tiniest one to cut one of Gold Glimmer to accent the sentiment, which is one of the 21 images in the Star of Light set.

Stampin_up_star_of_light_this_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

 I continued the theme inside with the "milky way" and another Star of Light sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday Cookie Cutter Christmas!

Hey there! We had a LOT going on yesterday, so no time to post, so I'm bringing you Sunday Swap day on Monday! yay!

These cards are all simple-but-eye-catching designs, perfect for mass production for your own Christmas card!

First, an adorably clean-and-simple card using the Cable Knit Dynamic folder and Cookie-Cutter Christmas. This card arrived without the creator's name attached.

Next, Linda Pagel used the gingergbread man from Cookie Cutter Christmas with Candy Cane Lane Designer Paper for her swap. The Sparkle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and a sentiment from Merriest Wishes completes her design.

Inside, Linda used a sentiment from Wonderful Year, which is bold and complete in itself.

Stampin’ Up! Flurry of Wishes!

Stampin’ Up! Flurry of Wishes!

Hey there! Today's card I created with a stamp set from the Annual Catalog, Flurry of Wishes!

Stampin_up_flurry_of_wishes_carolpaynestamps1

 I chose Marina Mist, Pink Pirouette, and Whisper White for my color palette, with pops of silver for punch!

Stampin_up_flurry_of_wishes_carolpaynestamps2

 The snowflakes are white heat-embossed on the Marina Mist layer. I added sequins from the Fancy Frost Sequins pack with liquid glue. I used Flourish Thinlets dies to cut the sparkly "snowflakes" from Silver Glimmer Paper to match the silver ribbon from the 3/8" Glitter Ribbon Combo Pack.

Stampin_up_flurry_of_wishes_carolpaynestamps3

 After stamping the sentiment with Marina Mist ink, I cut it out with a Layering Circle framelit, then adhered to a Pink Pirouette scalloped circle cut with another Layering Circle framelit.

Stampin_up_flurry_of_wishes_carolpaynestamps4

 The Fancy Frost Sequins are Soft Sky, Sweet Sugarplum, white, and gold.
