Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Posted on May 4, 2015 by Carol Payne

Good morning Monday! It's a lovely day today, just perfect for sharing some swaps!

These cards were the Make & Takes at the Spring Into Stamping Event I attended on Saturday. All were created with the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and the 2014/2016 In Colors of card stock and inks:

This card opens to reveal of "pop-up" Butterfly!

Next, we used the Kinda Eclectic set to embellish a small Kraft Journal (retiring)

This collection of projects shows just how easy it is to make a lot of different looks with one set of stamps and inks!

Adding in a package of gold buttons and some white Baker's Twine:

Bitty Butterfly, Elegant Butterfly, and a few other punches add just enough depth:

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Amazing You Project Sheet!

Posted on April 20, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Before we start, I just want to share one picture from the baby dedication yesterday. Here's Darcy with her Mommy & Daddy, big brother Liam, her Mamie and PaPa Jenkins and Mark & I (also called Mamie and PaPa by Liam !)

One of our nephews, Dillon, had to dance around like a crazy person behind the camera to get Liam to look! Darcy took it all in her usual style, calm and relaxed. This little girl can sleep through almost anything!

Today I want to share with you another of my Birthday Card Buffet handouts, this time for one of the cards we made with the Lovely Amazing You set. You can view my original post HERE.

Stampin’ Up! Another Thank You and Newest Weekly Deals!

Posted on April 14, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a relaxing girls-day-out yesterday: lunch with two of my daughters at Applebee's, a bit of shopping where I found my favorite Clark's sandals on sale, and then a long-overdue mani-pedi! yay!

Today's card I created for the bride-to-be to use for her thank-you's. We gave all shower attendees the envelope to fill out their name and address to make it easier for the bride. I kept with the bride's color scheme of Crumb Cake, Pool Party, and Very Vanilla to create this:

I couldn't resist pulling out my retired Cannery Framelits Dies because they just went perfectly with the theme, and I was delighted to discover that the "thank you" I chose from the photopolymer Another Thank You set had teeny-tiny hearts lined up under the words!

After I cut out the canning jar with the Cannery Framelit, I embossed it with the Happy Heart Textured Impressions Folder. I tied a bit of Linen Thread around the top of the can, then adhered a heart punched from the same white-embossed Something Lacy that I used on the table decorations using the heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

I found hearts that matched the Itty Bitty Shapes heart punch in both the Honeycomb Hello and the Hello Life stamp sets. I also used these same two hearts to stamp on the Crumb Cake envelope. I decided to leave the rest of the inside layer blank so the bride would have plenty of room to write her thank-you notes.

That's all for now, except for giving you the list of available supplies to make your own thank-you notes and the Weekly Deals!

As always, you can order everything you need from my online store:

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
