Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday, September 7th!

Posted on September 7, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I hope you all had a good Labor Day weekend! We spent the weekend in Branson, which has been my hubby & I's traditional trip for the past 20 years. We see a few shows, eat out of course, and relax! Two of our favorite shows are whatever is playing at the Sight & Sound Theater (this year it was "Jesus") and the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Play.

While I was in the car I was able to work on a few blog posts, and decided if everyone was a busy with other things this weekend like I was and weren't on the internet much, like me, I would save my projects for the coming week!

A cute & easy birthday card!

Next, Linda Pagel also used Counting sheep and the Sheep dies, as well as the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper:

Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Sale-a-bration set, Delicate Dahlias for her swap:

Stampin’ Up! Penguin Place Ornament!

Posted on August 18, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I know it's a little early to be thinking about making Christmas ornaments, but I wanted to play with the Penguin Place Bundle and the Penguin Playmates Designer Series paper that you can get free this month with a $50 order and came up with this!

I could have stamped the penguin with the Penguin Place stamp set, but for speed I punched him directly from the Penguin Playmates Designer Paper with the Penguin Builder Punch. I then cut a background layer from another Penguin Playmates print with one of the Hippo & Friends Dies. I cut a slightly larger circle from a piece of Be Dazzling 6" x 6" Specialty Paper (another Sale-a-bration freebie with a $50 order) with a Layering Circle Die for the base of my ornament. I stamped a toboggan hat with Midnight Muse ink then hand-cut with my Paper Snips. After adhering with a mini glue dot, I added a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to the hat for some shine. I also added a few Subtle Shimmer Sequins with tiny dots of liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from Penguin Place with Misty Moonlight ink on a narrow strip of Basic White card stock, then cut it down shorter and narrower with my Paper Trimmer.

I cut the same size circle from the same striped paper as the front, but flipped it over for the back! All of the prints in the Penguin Place Designer Series Paper are so cute! I used a piece of gold Elegant Trim for the ornament hanger.

Supplies to order:

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Triangle Layers with Tidings & Trimmings!

Posted on July 24, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have my final card created for Christmas in July Week! I was flipping through some past creations and ran across a couple of cards I had created with this technique. I'm still not sure what it is called, but you can find my previous creations, with dimensions and tips, HERE and HERE.

The Tidings of Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper is so pretty, and on sale 15% off right now, so I wanted to create one of my Christmas In July Week cards with one of the pieces. The designer paper is one piece of double-sided Tidings of Christmas, cut on the diagonal in an "X", then two opposite pieces are flipped over before adhering to the card front.

I used this sentiment from Tidings & Trimmings again, and then added open stars, which are also from the same set. I cut it and the Evening Evergreen mat layer with Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I finished it all with a few Cherry Cobbler Rhinestones and a bow tied from Evening Evergreen 3/8" Chevron Weave Ribbon.

Inside I stamped the same stars with Evening Evergreen ink, and the Tidings & Trimmings sentiment with Cherry Cobbler ink.

Norma Artman used Brightly Gleaming Specialty paper with the Christmas Gleaming Bundle (still available on the Year End Closeout List) The Brightly Gleaming Specialty paper and the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack are both discounted 50%!

Tina Biby combined retired designer series paper with the retiring Ornamental Envelopes Bundle of stamps and dies for her pretty creation. The Envelopes Dies are currently 40% off!

Finally for today, my friend Crystal Lopez enjoys playing with products from many different companies. She sent me this super awesome slim-line shaker card!

Hard to believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Very different around here this year, but I'm still thankful we are doing as well as we are and that there is light at the end of our tunnel!

Stampin’ Up! Gnome For The Holidays Banner!

Posted on December 3, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Over the long Thanksgiving weekend I helped my daughter create 9 banners for her co-worker gifts. We used the trendy Gnome for the Holidays!

It's hard to see how cute this banner really is. My little point-and-shoot isn't up to this task!

I used Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White for my color scheme, which was the perfect background for the snowflakes, letters, and gnomes! I spelled out "M E R R Y" using a retired set of Stampin' Up! dies I will never get rid of, then used the Playful Alphabet to add "CHRISTMAS". In between each of the "M E R R Y" letters I added a banner with just snowflakes and the small Playful Alphabet letters to spell "CHRISTMAS". All of the banners are stapled over the twine so they can be slid back and forth to get the spacing correct depending on where you hang it.

I added adhesive with Adhesive Sheets before cutting out the snowflakes. This made assembly MUCH EASIER than trying to use liquid glue!

The gnomes (we made one banner with the Way To Goat stamp set but I forgot to take a picture before she took it away) were stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin' Blends. I colored around each gnome with a Light Seaside Spray Stampin' Blend so I could easily cut around them.

Get free shipping only from me when you contact me to place your Stampin' Up! order by December 9th! This offer is not good when you shop online in my store, you must contact me to order! More details can be found HERE.
