Stampin’ Up! Making Christmas Bright for Christmas in July!

Posted on July 19, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! This afternoon is the first session of Christmas in July! Today I'm sharing another one of the cards we will be making, a Corner Tuck Fold with Making Christmas Bright!

I used a traditional Christmas color scheme of Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla. I added snippets of burlap-looking designer paper from the Pressed Petals Specialty pack.

I added Red Rhinestones to the Mossy Meadow-stamped starry wreath, and added a tiny burnished metal bow from the Bird Ballad Trinkets.

I love those bulbs with the "merry" "and" "bright" stamped in Cherry Cobbler!

Have you decided which of my Christmas in July cards will be your card this year? Don't worry if you can't decide, the Holiday Catalog is coming in September, with TONS more ideas! I can't wait to share some of them with you!

Stampin’ Up! Making Every Day Bright!

Posted on December 17, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Last Friday I held my final stamp camp of the Christmas season at Donna's house. I will resume my classes on January 1st, but I still have a few Christmas cards to share before I get serious about sharing Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalog Sneak Peeks!

Today's share is a Christmas card I created for Donna's class with the Making Every Day Bright stamp set and Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper, both of which are on the retiring-while-supplies-last list. I needed a quick-and-cute card and this little penguin was perfect! The pearlized shine of the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Paper helped provide a cold and wintry look!

I stamped three little pennies with Tuxedo Black ink on a white scrap, then punched with the Christmas Bulb punch. I colored their stocking caps with a Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends Marker (available January 3rd), then added a little bit of Clear Wink of Stella for cold wintry shine.

I stamped "Bright", from the not-retiring Making Christmas Bright, with black ink, then surrounded it with Balmy Blue snowflakes from the Making Every Day Bright set. I stamped each snowflake twice before re-inking to get the two shades of Balmy Blue, and added a dot of Wink of Stella to each. You don't have to use a lot of different embellishment if you have a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush! I punched the greeting with the Pretty Label Punch, then cut a Balmy Blue one with my scissors to adhere behind it.

Inside I used another Making Christmas Bright sentiment and more Balmy Blue snowflakes:

Seems like there should be a song about these little guys, doesn't it?

Stampin’ Up! Retiring Holiday Catalog!!

Posted on December 8, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! With the Year End Closeout Sale in full swing, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you some swaps from OnStage using retiring Holiday Catalog products. Even though the Holiday Catalog runs through January 2nd, the retiring items are now while-supplies last!

First, this swap was created with the retiring Bring on the Presents Bundle of stamps and dies to make a cute little treat box!

You can order this bundle in my online store. Click on the pic to go there!

Next, retiring All Is Bright Designer Series Paper and Making Christmas Bright stamps were used to create this treat packet:

Finally for today, this little Scalloped Tag Topper Punch treat box features the Santa's Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper, which is already sold out. However, the Farmhouse Christmas (Happy Christmas Wishes) is NOT sold out and the starry flourish from Star of Light is still found in the Annual Catalog.

I think I have made a similar box in the past, so I'm going to try this one out again!

This color combo of Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, and Garden Green is just so festive!

Your shopping list for today:

Bring On The Presents Photopolymer Bundle [149926]	Making Christmas Bright Photopolymer Bundle [149947]	All Is Bright 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [147892]

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day October 28th!

Posted on October 28, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Yesterday was a long, long day. I was awakened at 5:30 a.m with the news that my youngest daughter, the one with the newest baby, was headed to the ER with a kidney stone. Mark headed to their house to watch the three older children, while I headed to meet them and the littlest one, at the ER. Twelve hours and minus THREE tic-tac-sized stones later, she is back home with no infection and only ibuprofen for pain. Praise God! My arms are tired from holding, bouncing, jiggling, and comforting a cranky, hungry 3-month-old who refused to drink formula from a bottle. She's never had any thing but mommy's milk, so I can't say as I blame her. I took ibuprofen before I went to bed too!

Thankfully I have Sunday Swap Day projects to share with you today, and they are all Christmas-themed!

First, a fun card by Sharon Tong-Robinson with the Feathers & Frost set colored with Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Markers:

This sentiment is included in Feathers & Frost:

Next, Tamie Ackerson used the Making Christmas Bright set with Poppy Parade, Whisper White, and Santa's Workshop Designer Series Paper for her card. She embellished with Poppy Parade 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon from the Annual Catalog.

The inside sentiment and the string of light bulbs is also from Making Christmas Bright!

Timeless Tidings was the set of choice for Stephanie Flath. I didn't know there was such a place as Wyoming, Michigan, did you?

Stephanie embossed both Whisper White and Galvanized Metallic Paper with the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder for an inlaid look:

I love this tree and the Timeless Tidings sentiment!

Finally, Ruth Bingle combined the Subtles and Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Folders with the Wishing You Well stamp set:

Ruth embellished with Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Poppy Parade 1/4" Mini-Striped Ribbon:
