Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day October 25th!

Posted on October 25, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday again, which of course means it's time to share some more swaps! I decided I had better finish sharing the fall-themed swaps I have before I go full-on Christmas for a few Sundays! October is almost over, can you believe it? October is my favorite month of the year, and although this year it was cool, rainy, and dreary most of the month, I still love October!

First, Ami Wilson combined a sentiment from Love of Leaves with the Beautiful Autumn Bundle (stamps and punches) with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder, Painted Labels Dies, Brushed Metallic Copper, and Basket Weave & Metallic (copper) Combo Pack! Mint Macaron, Early Espresso, and Whisper White is her color combo!

Kathy Morgan used a similar color combo, adding in a splash of Cajun Craze, to her Beautiful Autumn/Gathered Leaves card:

Emily Tull used Life is Beautiful with the Autumn Punch Pack and a Tasteful Labels Die for her fall creation:

Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Love of Leaves Bundle with the Old World 3D Embossing Folder:

Finally for today, Deb McCahan used the Autumn Greetings stamp set, Autumn Punch Pack, and Layering Circles Dies for her Split Circle card:

Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful!

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the Paper Crafting Monthly Blog featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world! You may have arrived from Shirley's blog. She had a fabulous project!

Our October theme is Fall with a Designer Series Paper focus since Stampin' Up! is offering a great sale on select Designer Series Papers this month for 15% off. I decided to use the Life is Beautiful stamp set with Plain Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, which is one of the sale packs!

I used the baby wipes technique to stamp the leaves on the trees, and then cut with a Celebration Labels Die.

The baby wipes technique is an easy way to get color on your stamps! I dropped Cajun Craze, Bumblebee, and Cherry Cobbler in refills on a baby wipe to create a custom "inkpad". Then I inked the leaves stamp with the baby wipe inkpad to get the lovely fall color! You can use the "inkpad" for multiple stampings in the same session!

I snuck in a little bit of Gathered Leaves with the pumpkins stamped with Cajun Craze.
