Stampin’ Up! Merry Medley Merry!

Hey there! Today I'm sharing the 3rd card in my September "Merry Medleys" Online Class. Every one of these card is my favorite, which may sound weird, but these cards are like my babies, and love always multiplies, never divides!

Stampin_up_merry_medley_carolpaynestamps1

I started with a Crumb Cake Note Card. They're a good deal: 20 cards and envelopes for $6.00. Great when you need to make a quick card, they also come in Whisper White.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_carolpaynestamps2

Note cards are  5" x 3 1/2", so I added a layer of Real Read 4 7/8" x 3 3/8". The Crumb Cake layer is 4 3/4" x 3 1/4", stamped with the Merry Medley background using Versamark ink. I  added Real Red snowflakes from the Tin of Tags stamp set. 

4 1/2" of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon was adhered with Tear & Tape.

I added "Merry" cut with a Christmas Greetings thinlet, with tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I finished off the inside with another Real Red layer, then stamped on Very Vanilla with sentiments from Tin of Tags and Teeny Tiny Wishes and a couple more snowflakes using Real Red ink.

Stampin’ Up! Merry Medley Lovely As A Tree!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Medley Lovely As A Tree!

Hey there! Stampin' Up! really hit it out of the ballpark  with the Holiday Catalog!

A must have for me was the Merry Medley background. So many words on one stamp is not only a great value, but I looove the graphic look!

142148G

I chose to use Lovely As a Tree as my focal image:

Stampin_up_merry_medley_lovely_as_a_tree_carolpaynestamps1-1

I stamped the tree on the Crumb Cake layer with Always Artichoke ink, then stamped it again on scrap paper and cut it out to create a mask. I covered the stamped tree with the cut out mask before stamping over it with Merry Medley and White Craft ink.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_lovely_as_a_tree_carolpaynestamps2

For the greeting banner I stamped "Christmas Blessings" from Christmas Pines with Cherry Cobbler ink on a strip of Very Vanilla, then cut it out with the banner die in the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets. The teeny-tiny holly is also from Christmas Pines. I hand-cut it out and mounted it with a snippet of a Stampin' Dimensional.

Stampin_up_merry_medley_lovely_as_a_tree_carolpaynestamps3

The inside greeting is also from Christmas Pines. I originally bought this set because it coordinated in a bundle with the Pretty Pines thinlets, but I think I will be using it a lot more for the sentiments!

Stampin_up_merry_medley_lovely_as_a_tree_carolpaynestamps4

You can now order your own Merry Medley and Christmas Pines stamps to create your own graphic Christmas card! Just go to my online store to shop: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Wrapped in Warmth Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Wrapped in Warmth Sneak Peek!

Hey there! My swaps are ready to go the P.O., so I'm sharing one of them with you today! yay!

The Holiday Catalog is CRAMMED FULL of so many fantastically fun and gorgeous products it's was almost impossible to decide what to order first! One thing I had no trouble deciding to get was the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder! It's big, 6" x 6", thicker and heavier than our traditional folders, and takes a little bit of adaptation to use, but it's SO WORTH IT! Lookie:

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_warmth_carolpaynestamps1 (2)

I combined it with the Wrapped in Warmth stamp set from page 13 of the Holiday Catalog. Even more gorgeousness!

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_warmth_carolpaynestamps2 (2)

The Cable Knit Dynamic folder make such a deep impression, you need to spritz the card stock with water before you emboss to keep the paper from cracking!

I stamped the greeting twice, first with Garden Green to punch with the Decorative Label Punch, then with Cherry Cobbler to punch just the "Christmas" with the Classic Label Punch. I adhered the Cherry Cobbler  "Christmas" over the Garden Green one with SNAIL.

I used Cherry Cobbler ribbon from the 3/8" Silky Taffeta Ribbon Combo pack to help complete the "wrapped" theme.

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_warmth_carolpaynestamps3 (2)

The sweatery-textured  pine tree also came in Wrapped in Warmth. After stamping with Garden Green and cutting out with my snips, I added it with a dimensional. I also added rhinestones to the greeting for a bit of sparkle.

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_warmth_carolpaynestamps4 (2)

Inside I used the same stamping technique to easily add the Cherry Cobbler "CHRISTMAS"  to the Garden Green sentiment.

The majority of the products used today will be available to order on September 1st. Check out what's available right now in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
