Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance Z-fold!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance Z-fold!

Hey there! It's Thursday, and today I have the 4th card for Christmas In July Week! Today I'm using Evergreen Elegance again with a z-fold and the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder!

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps8

The guide on each end of the Evergreen Border Punch made it easy to punch this almost 11" long strip of trees to add to the z-fold arm!

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps1

All of the sentiments and images used on this card are from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set, with the exception of the redbirds, which are from the Garden Birdhouses set.

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps3

I made sure I stamped all of the sentiments and trees first before embossing with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder.

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps5

I decided to forgo any other embellishments besides the two redbirds, which I hand-cut with my Paper Snips.

This was a simple card to make. You can find the measurements to make this card HERE when I made a Ride The Range z-fold.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance!

Hey there! I'm back again with Day #3 of Christmas In July Week! Today I have another new bundle from the Annual Catalog, Evergreen Elegance! This bundle consists of a red-rubber cling stamp set and a border punch. I didn't use the punch on today's card, but come back tomorrow and I will share a creation with it, ok?

For my card today I combined the Evergreen Elegance stamp set with the Wintry 3D embossing folders and gold heat embossing. Evening Evergreen ink, Basic White card stock, and gold embellishments all come together for such and elegant look!

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps2

I embossed the vellum with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders:

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps4
I heat-embossed the traditional Merry Christmas with gold powder, then added gold twine from the Elegant Trim Combo Pack and Gilded Gems to coordinate.

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps5

I cut a mat for the inside sentiment layer with a Stitched Rectangle die.

Stampin_up_evergreen_elegance_carolpaynestamps6

Every day I think today's card is my favorite, but wait till you see the one tomorrow!

I love how you can really feature the card front with the easel-fold!

I stamped one of the stockings from Tidings & Trimmings with Cherry Cobbler ink, then cut with a Christmas Tidings die. The trims peeking out of the stocking top are also cut with Christmas Tidings dies.

I stamped and cut a Tidings & Trimmings star with a Christmas Trimmings die, then adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to create the "stop" for the easel.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Week!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Week!

Hey there! I traditionally hold a Christmas in July class at my house, but this year circumstances are not letting it happen, so I decided to do the next best thing, hold a Christmas In July Week here on my blog!

Today's card is the first one I created with the Tidings and Trimmings bundle from the Annual Catalog!

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_carolpaynestamps1

I used Crumb Cake as my neutral instead of the usual Basic White or Very Vanilla, stamping directly on it with Evening Evergreen, then cutting with a Hippo & Friends die. I cut a larger mat layer from Cherry Cobbler with another Hippo & Friends die. The holly & star embellishments are cut with Christmas Trimmings dies.

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_carolpaynestamps3

I embossed the Soft Succulent layer with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders that is sized to fit in the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. I chose my card stock colors to coordinate with the colors in the Tidings of Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper I used on the card front.

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped again on Crumb Cake with a Tidings & Trimmings sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers!

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers!

Hey there! Today I have a card created with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set  and the Stitched Greenery die that I'm crazy about! I needed another sympathy-type card, but I wanted it to be cheerful too, so I used Daffodil Delight card stock and In Good Taste Designer paper with the aforementioned Celebrate Sunflowers to create this:
Stampin_up_celebrate_sunflowers_carolpaynestajmps1
I started by cutting the sunflower and butterfly from the Daffodil Delight card stock layer, then embossing the  layer minus the sunflower and butterfly with the Stitched Greenery die. I then adhered the layer over a piece of In Good Taste Designer, then added the sunflower and butterfly back in their original spots with tiny dots of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_celebrate_sunflowers_carolpaynestajmps2

I forgot to stamp the greeting before embossing with the Stitched Greenery die, but stamping on this layer worked out fine anyway!

Stampin_up_celebrate_sunflowers_carolpaynestajmps3

I'm kind of obsessed with the Bumblebee Trinkets! They are the perfect finishing touch for this card!

Stampin_up_celebrate_sunflowers_carolpaynestajmps4

I stamped the sunflower on the inside layer and on the envelope. I added the "Hugs Prayers Love" sentiment from Positive Thoughts with Early Espresso ink.
