Stampin’ Up! Easy Curvy Christmas Card!

Posted on November 10, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I finally got a chance to play with the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle! I made a Christmas card with Curvy Christmas stamps, Curvy Dies, and Classic Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper:

I used a folded-back flap on the front, then added 1" wide strips of Classic Christmas Designer paper and Shaded Spruce so the scrolled cut-outs would really shine!

Every image used on this card is from the Curvy Christmas stamp set, inked in either Cherry Cobbler or Shaded Spruce. I added a single Shaded Spruce rhinestone from the Holiday Rhinestone pack for some sparkle. Holiday Rhinestones are my $50 ordering gift this month!

Inside and the card fully opened:

Dimensions:

Cherry Cobbler base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" greeting mat: 1 1/8" x 3 5/8"

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Posted on November 9, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I took a bit of a blogging break the past few days while it was crunch time for getting the room ready for my son to move back in. He has several Associates Degrees and has worked for several years but recently decided to go back to school full-time to get his degree in High School English teaching. He's avoiding draining his savings by living with us. It's only 3 years!

As a messy creative I had way too much stuff in his old room, and although I'm NOT a hoarder, as I sorted, trashed, gifted, and stored the contents of the room I started to feel a little bit like one. I was able to part with a lot of stuff, and even had a bonfire or two (three!), and now have several totes in storage at my daughter's spare garage, so I'm finally back to blogging!

Today I have some swaps to share with the Curvy Celebrations Bundle, which is now available for stampers to order!

To start off, here's a Christmas-y card with the Curvy Christmas stamp set, Quite Curvy dies, and Classic Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper by an anonymous creator:

Next, Nancy Juliano when with Shaded Spruce for her encouragement creation:

Finally, Jan Farring also used Shaded Spruce with Whisper White for her creation. She added in Stitched Nested Labels Dies for the greeting flap:

Curvy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set	Quite Curvy Variety Bundle (English)	Quite Curvy Bundle (English)
Classic Christmas 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad	Shaded Spruce 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

Stampin’ Up! Home Together Easel Calendar!

Posted on October 24, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been playing with calendar ideas for an outdoor craft fair I "hope" to be able to do in early December, and my first design is with my tried-and-true favorite fold, the easel!

It's one of the most simple designs I think I've ever done; no stamping, just die-cutting and dry embossing with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. While I was at it I added a Post-it-Note pad to make this even more useful as a nifty desk calendar!

I embossed the white layers with the lovely Winter Snow embossing folder and added the heart cut from the center of the little house with a mini stampin' dimensional.

I love this little house and trees, all cut with Home Together Dies from Garden Green and Real Red card stock!

The side trees are also cut with a Home Together Die.

Dimensions:

Misty Moonlight easel card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" easel upright: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Misty Moonlight calendar mat: 2 3/8" x 3 1/8" Post-it-note mat: 3 1/8" x 3 1/8"

Whisper White layer: 4" x 5 1/4" – need two

Real Red for house/heart: 1 1/2" x 2"

Garden Green for trees: scraps

Supplies to order:

Home Together Dies	Winter Snow Embossing Folder	Misty Moonlight 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Stampin' Seal	Mini Stampin' Dimensionals	Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Whisper White Medium Envelopes

Stampin’ Up! Warm Hugs Gift Card Holder!

Posted on October 23, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you a project I created with another oldie-but-goodie: the envelope gift card holder!

Super-easy and economical to make, I made these for my swap this month! The base of the holder is a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope, folded in half, the flap cut in half on the fold line, and one flap adhered down while the other flap remains to insert the gift card!

I embellished it with Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (on sale 15% off this month!) and images from both Wrapped in Christmas and Warm Hugs.

The Warm Wraps Dies contains everything you need to cut out the sentiments and the tree, heart, and candy canes! I cut the greeting layers on the front with Stitched Rectangle Dies and tied it closed with a length of Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon.

Here's the basic dimensions to cover the folds of the holder:

Front, and inside Garden Green layers: 2 3/4" x 4 3/8" – need two

Toile Tidings layer: 2 5/8" x 4 1/8" – need two

Garden Green for flap: 2 7/8" x 2 1/4" for layer below the flap: 2 7/8" x 3 5/8"

Toile Tidings layer below the flap: 2 5/8" x 3 3/8"

Garden Green front focal image mat: 2" x 3 1/2"

Very Vanilla for front focal image: 2" x 3"

Everything else is scraps of Very Vanilla & Garden Green

Supplies to order:

Wrapped In Christmas Cling Stamp Set (English)	Warm Hugs Bundle (English)	Warm Hugs Photopolymer Stamp Set (English)
Warm Wraps Dies	Very Vanilla Medium Envelopes	Very Vanilla 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Garden Green Classic Stampin' Pad	Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper
Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad	Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (X2)	Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels
