Stampin’ Up! Mediterranean Achiever’s Blog Hop, New Catalog Sneak Peek!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! A little early this month because of the cruise, but it's time for the hop!

GV Blog Header

Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for May. This month our theme is 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek. We are so excited to be able to show you these amazing BRAND NEW products that you will be able to purchase on June 1st!
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Carol Payne Stamps, or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects. At the moment you are visiting Carol Payne.
For my Sneak Peek creation I took some inspiration from my sister Stamper's Dozen Blog Hopper, BJ Peters. BJ combined the new Painter's Palette and Love & Affection stamp sets to create a really awesome One-Sheet Wonder Class. I CASED her idea of combining those two stamp sets, as well as her color palette of Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, and Pear Pizzazz. I added my own twists to it by using a Basic Black card base, subtle splatters of Crumb Cake, and a fun fold!
Painter's Palette has a really fun easel image, so I decided to play on that and created an "Easel-Easel" card!

It looks like an ordinary card at first, but then when you open it, TA DA!

This color palette of Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, and Whisper White just screamed at me to add more Basic Black, so that's why I made it my easel card base. It''s simply an extra score line and an additional layer: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" and  8 1/4", with an added layer of Basic Black that starts out at 3 5/8" x 4 7/8".

The fonts of both stamp sets coordinate well. "sending a smile your way" from Love & Affection is the perfect size for the "door stop" for the easel to stand.

LOTS of room for sentiments and a personal message too!
All of these products will be available to order in my online store on June 1st! www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Hey there! I have just a quick post this morning. I have my #imbringingbirthdaysback Birthday Card Class this afternoon and I need to get a couple of cards in the mail today before the P.O. closes. They are only open for about 30 seconds on Saturday mornings, so I have to move quick!

I will be back this evening to with the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop. That post will remain up through Monday morning, so be sure to come by sometime to see my masculine creation and to take the hop!

The project I have for you today was created by my downline, Joanne Cantrell, for our April Mam's Team Inspiration meeting. We have a challenge  every month. Everyone votes for their favorite from the submitted samples. Joanne has won the challenge two months in a row! Here's her winning April entry:

Joanne combined old and Sneak Peek products to create a really stunning card!

She used retiring Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Trim and pearls from the retiring Artisan Embellishment Kit with new Affectionately Yours Designer Series Paper and Love & Affection stamps. She printed a template on the back of the designer paper to fold the skirt and to cut the bodice. I don't have the link she used, but I will try to find it and add it later.

Stampin’ Up! Love & Affection!

Stampin’ Up! Love & Affection!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! At OnStage last month they introduced so many new trends and ideas. One trend, it's actually an old trend becoming new again, is COPPER. I dug out my old copper embossing powder to create today's card with Love & Affection stamps and Affectionately Yours Designer Specialty Paper. NOTE: if you have left-over copper powder from years ago, give it a try! I'd heard that embossing powder gets stale after a few years, but mine, which has been sitting on the shelf for at least five years, STILL WORKED! I embossed a sample with old powder and one with new powder and they looked identical!

I also used a new-to-me layout, the Diagonal Slash. I started with a 4" x 4 3/4" piece of the Affectionately Yours paper, cut it diagonally with my Paper Trimmer, and then layered it on a 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White background with SNAIL. Then I was able to stamp the greeting from Love & Affection with Night of Navy ink and emboss the flowers with copper powder.

The Affectionately Yours paper has two sheets  embossed with copper and are one-sided so you don't have to anguish over which gorgeous side to use! I stamped and embossed Watermelon Wonder card stock with Watermelon Wonder ink and copper powder before punching with the Pansy Punch to add the flower that coordinates perfectly with the designer paper!

Inside I stamped another phrase from Love & Affection with Night of Navy ink and embossed more flower sprays with copper. I added a couple of little strips of Love & Affection Designer Washi Tape to bring in a little more color.

The Retiring List still has lots of good deals left! Check it out in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
