Stampin’ Up! Gingham Nature’s Beauty!

Posted on September 9, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I took a little break from blogging to throw together a yard sale with my daughter, Alisa, and my newest daughter-in-law Faith, over the weekend. Working together (sweltering, actually!) in 90 degree heat to set up and and break down is a bonding experience, to say the least! lol! Despite the hard work, I thoroughly enjoyed working side by side with both girls, and after one more trip to the Christian Outreach store to drop off the left over stuff, we'll be done till next spring!

Today's project was again created with the Nature's Beauty stamp set, as well as with Rustic Retreat and Come to Gather Designer Series Paper.

After stamping the deer with Early Espresso and the foliage spray with Pretty Peacock, I dragged the edges of the Whisper White layer on the Pretty Peacock ink pad to get the torn, distressed look.

I used a 1/4" wide strip of Pretty Peacock card stock for a "ribbon". I stamped the greeting from Itty Bitty Greetings with Pretty Peacock ink, then accented with a Noble Peacock Rhinestone.

Inside I used a mix of images and a sentiment from Rustic Retreat.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Thinking of You!

Posted on September 5, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another Nature's Beauty creation to share with you; this one features the fox!

For this one I used a Very Vanilla Note Card & Envelope, then layered on a piece of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper. I sponged all of my edges with Crumb Cake ink.

After stamping the fox with Cajun Craze ink and punching with the Story Label Punch, I punched a second Story Label from Cajun Craze ink. I cut the Cajun Craze label down the center like a hot dog bun, then adhered to the back of the fox label with SNAIL. I cut a 1/4" wide strip of Cajun Craze card stock to use as my "ribbon" behind the focal image.

I stamped the greeting from Rustic Retreat with Cajun Craze, then used my Paper Snips to cut it out. I've discovered you can also use one of the Stitched Labels Dies to cut this greeting if you don't like to "fussy cut"!

Inside I used a sentiment from Rustic Retreat, stamped with Cajun Craze ink.

Stampin’ Up! Harvest Hellos Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek!

Posted on August 29, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Holiday Catalog goes live for stampers in less than a week, so it's time to start sharing some sneak peeks! The card I'm sharing today is one I"m sending to everyone who has placed an order with me this month, both in person and online orders. It's a simple and quick little note card I created with the Harvest Hellos Bundle and a snippet of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper:

After stamping the apple pieces I punched with the Apple Builder Punch, which is included in the Harvest Hellos Bundle.

I love the font of this greeting, also from Harvest Hellos!

I left the inside blank so everyone receiving this card as my thank you for ordering can write their own inside sentiment.

I will be sharing more projects with this bundle in the near future. I really think it's a "must-have"!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Moments!

Posted on June 18, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Last weekend I made this adorable little wedding shower card with the Wonderful Moments stamp set and a Balmy Blue Scalloped Note Card and Envelope. This card came together very quickly!

These Note Cards, which come in a pack of 20 with 5 each of Balmy Blue, Old Olive, light pink, and Terracotta Tile, are already scalloped along the bottom front edge, which means they are very elegant even before adding anything else. I stamped the bride and the greeting with Night of Navy ink on a Whisper White square, then added a mat with Silver Foil. The note cards are 5" long by 3 1/2" wide, and can be mailed through the Post Office! The inside of the note card is Whisper White.

A length of about 14 inches of Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle adds a frilly look. I love this stuff!

The envelope flap is already scalloped. No other stamping or embellishment needed!

This card is simple but elegant. You NEED a pack of these note cards for your quick-to-make-stash! Put item # 149610 on your next order in my online store! You'll be glad you did!

Carol Payne Stamps Sunday Swap Day October 7th!

Posted on October 7, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's the first Sunday of October and time for Sunday Swap Day! yay!

First, a often-overlooked but lovely set from the Holiday Catalog, Pleasant Pheasants, was the choice of Carol Slack for her swap. She used the Buffalo Check to create her background, which gives it so much warmth with the Early Espresso ink on Cajun Craze!

Carol stamped the pheasants with Cajun Craze ink, then used a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to move the color over them while at the same time adding shimmer!

The inside features a lovely sentiment that is included in the set:

Cards created by Mary Lang never disappoint! Mary also used Pleasant Pheasants, but she focused on the wheelbarrow, bucket, and foliage for her autumnal creation. She embossed the Cajun Craze background with the Swirls and Curls Textured Impressions folder for more interest.

Mary's creation is an easel-fold Thanksgiving card!

Finally, Linda Pagel also used the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions folder to emboss the Night of Navy background of this clean-and-simple Winter Woods card.

Linda used Silver Embossing Powder to give the trees dimension and shine. This card could be used for any occasion!
