Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Lots of Joy!

Posted on September 6, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back today for Sunday Swap Day! yay! All of today's cards are created with the Lots of Joy stamp set from the Annual Catalog:

First, Sandy Carlson created a neat pull-up gift-card holder, using two prints from the Merry Moments paper, Real Red, Old Olive, Silver Glimmer, and rhinestones:

As you open the card it pulls up the gift card pocket!

Next, Peggy Murwin created a side-easel card:

This card makes a great table-top decoration:

There's even an extra greeting surprise!

Janet Wakeland used the Brick Wall folder as her background for her Merry & Bright greeting. The Cherry Cobbler Thick Baker's Twine bow really pops on the Crumb Cake "brick wall"!

My fellow Stamper's Dozen Blog hopper, Stella MacKay also used the Brick Wall folder for her background, adding touches of Silver Glimmer Paper and rhinestones for some sparkle!

Amy Combs used the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions folder for her background, adding a bit of a Tea Lace Paper Doily, Gold Glimmer star, Brights Candy Dots (on sale this week), rhinestones, and a couple of White Perfect Accents. I love that she stamped her greeting and mounted the punched tree on a Project Life 3" x 4" Grid Card!

Karen Kurz also used Stylish Stripes to emboss her background, then cut a ring of Gold Glimmer to frame the ornament.

Finally, Robin Merriman stamped the Hardwood background with Tip Top Taupe ink for a rustic look, pairing it with Real Red and Mossy Meadow. After punching her tags with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, she embossed the Real Red one with the Woodgrain folder:

Stampin’ Up! Home for Christmas Banners Again!

Posted on September 2, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have one more banner card for you today, created with more designs from the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper:

I used the Boughs & Berries Textured Impressions folder again for the border, and another Christmas Greetings Thinlets Die, "peace", for the greeting.

I've been punching the banner ends with the Banner Triple Punch. This punch has channels to guide a 1", 1 1/2", and 2" wide strip of paper in to punch the banner flag ends. In order for my banners to fit inside the open space of the Boughs & Berries folder I cut my strips 7/8" wide. It's still pretty simple to just "eyeball" to keep the spacing even in the 1" channel. The most important thing is to make sure you push the paper in as far as it will go before you punch.

I cut Gold Foil paper with the Christmas Greetings die, then punched Gold Foil scraps with one of the elements in the Festive Flower Builder Punch a couple of times to create the little flower on the end. I used my trusty Fine Tip Glue Pen (have you ordered one yet? You NEED this glue pen!) to adhere this skinny little word to the project. I finished it off with a Real Red Home for Christmas Enamel Dot, which makes the red in the snow-covered houses in the center strip pop!

Here's the supply list for today's card. You can order everything you need in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog Home for Christmas!

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog went live this morning! yay! You can order to your heart's content in my online store NOW!

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

To celebrate the beginning of the Holiday Catalog, I created this fun card using my favorite designer paper, Home for Christmas!

Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper has 12 different retro-inspired designs. So many great choices! I used the same banners layout as my Merry Moments card I posted HERE.

I embossed the Mossy Meadow layer with the new Boughs & Berries Textured Impressions Folder, which coordinates perfectly with Home for Christmas paper!

I added a 1/4" wide strip of Gold Glimmer paper for sparkle. A Snowflake Element topped with a Real Red Home for Christmas Enamel Dot looks like Rudolph's nose!

I just love this retro reindeer/Rudolf, don't you?

I added a Real Red "merry" cut with a Christmas Greetings Thinlets Die. I used the new Fine Tip Glue Pen on pg 43 of the Holiday Catalog to adhere. This glue flows smoothly but is easy to control, dries clear, is not tacky, cleans up with water, and includes a pin mounted inside the lid to keep the tip open. It's a papercrafter's dream come true!

Inside I inked an image from the Cozy Christmas set with Real Red and Mossy Meadow Markers to stamp in between more Home for Christmas banners.

Here's the supply list for today's card. FINALLY you can order all of the supplies in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Grand Vacation Achiever’s Blog Hop Holiday Sneak Peek!

Posted on August 26, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for August 2015. The theme for the hop this month is Holiday Sneak Peek and we're all excited to share projects using new products from the upcoming Holiday Catalog!

You may be starting here at my blog, Carol Payne Stamps, or may have come here from the previous person to me on the list. Please be sure to click the person after me (which right now means you will want to go up to the top of the list and work your way back down to me) to move along the blog hop. If you get off track at any time, the full line up below will help you move along from blog to blog.

My creation for the hop features Flurry of Wishes Stamps and Snow Flurry Punch Bundle on page 25 of the Holiday Catalog:

I heat embossed the snowflake with white powder on Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper has a "sheen" that photographs as haziness around the embossed snowflake. The tiny snowflakes are in the paper's design. I added a single rhinestone to the center for more sparkle.

Heat Embossing Tip: Winter Wonderland paper has A LOT of static, so using the Embossing Buddy is a MUST before stamping and heat embossing to prevent powder scatter!

I punched Silver Foil paper with the Snow Flurry Punch, using the smaller of the two snowflakes included in the punch. I added a Winter Wonderland Embellishment to the center with a glue dot.

The greeting from Flurry of Wishes is heat embossed on Basic Black and cut with a Deco Label Framelit. I cut a same-size Deco Label from Silver Foil to mat behind.

Another glamorous addition to this card is the White 3/8" Glitter Ribbon. This ribbon is much more sparkly in real life, and is packaged with a roll of Gold 3/8" Glitter Ribbon.

Inside I stamped more Flurry of Wishes with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, adding a single rhinestone to the snowflake center.
