Stampin’ Up! Christmas with the Mams!

Posted on December 22, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! A couple of weeks ago my team, the Yes, Mam! Stampers, gathered to have our annual Christmas Party. Everyone brought food, we exchanged gifts, and of course we stamped! I will be sharing what we stamped next week (Occasions and Sale-a-bration sneak peeks), but today I want to share with you Christmas creations by my sweet friend, Angie Lisk!

First, our gift exchange guidelines required either the gift to be made with Stampin' Up! or packaged using Stampin' Up! products. Angie packaged up a set of fancy paper plates and Christmas napkins with a shiny bow and a simple tag she gussied up with a Hometown Greetings Edgelit.

She took a simple piece of Whisper White card stock and turned it into a winter scene with the edgelit and the Big Shot. A punched hole and a bit of white ribbon and voila!

Next, Angie gave every one of her sister Mams a bottle of Bath & Body Works lotion in packaging she created herself!

Created with Kraft card stock that is now retired, this box is sturdy!

Angie adhered a bit of Christmas Quilt Designer Paper to the front of the belly band, then added a greeting layer cut with a Stitched Shapes and Layering Circle Framelits. She added one of our Stitched Felt Embellishments (still available but retiring) to complete the simple homespun look.

I received a special gift from Angie, packaged in a gold foil Striped Treat Bag! A quick and simple packaging solution, Angie simply folded the top of this 4 3/4" x 7" bag over, and then added a Gold Library Clip and a tag created with the Merry Little Labels stamp set and Everyday Label Punch! The Gold Foil leaves were punched with the Leaf Punch from the Painted Harvest Bundle. Note: the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper and Merry Little Labels stamp set are retiring on January 2nd, but you can still order them in my Online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Inside the bag was the cutest little present! Angie had ordered a custom-engraved Block D just for me with my name and the cutest little owl on it!

She also gave me a custom-engraved bone folder!

Stampin’ Up! Gift Card Holder Inspiration Day #5!

Posted on December 21, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is the final installment of gift card holders I have to share with you for awhile. Are you glad? Are you tired of them? I’m not, but I do have a few other Christmas projects to share with you before the big day gets here, so I think it’s a good idea to be done for now.

Are you ready for Christmas? I’m getting closer, almost all of my shopping is done, thanks to online free shipping and a marathon shopping trip yesterday afternoon! Now to just get the rest of my wrapping done and to finish readying the house for the kids to come home!

The gift card holders I’m sharing today are not Christmas themed, so they can be used for anyone anytime of the year!

First, an anonymous creator used the Coffee Cafe’ stamp set and Coffee Cups Framelits Dies with Sahara Sand, Garden Green, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla:

A belly-band keeps this wallet-style gift card holder together.

This batch of gift card holders seems to be without their creators’ names, because this one using the Merry Little Labels stamp set, Layering Circle Framelits, Starburst Punch, and Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper is also nameless:

This adorable little pocket/pouch is secured by a miniature Velcro dot!

Finally a card with a name! Laura Milligan used the Wood Words stamp set with Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and Smoky Slate 1/2″ Gingham Ribbon to create her versatile holder.

Laura’s extra touches of Delicate White Doily, 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon, and a 1″ Circle-punched greeting are all simple but effective.

To make any of these projects, use the December hostess code SRHVXBN9 to receive a thank you card (un-signed so YOU can send it to someone else!) and a little embellishment gift from me when you place your order in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Now through January 2nd, Stampin’ Up! Is having a Year-End Sale! Discounts on select retiring Holiday Catalog items, as well as surplus items! But don’t delay, these items are only available while supplies last!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday!

Posted on December 19, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm continuing my share of the stack of gift card holders I've received as swaps this season. Today I'm away from my stack, so I don't have access to the creator's names, but I will come back and add them later today, hopefully.

Our first gift card holder today combines the Cookie Cutter Christmas set and punch with the Be Merry Designer Series Paper for a gift card "wallet" look. Stampin Blends were used to color the Santa before punching with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.

Simply slide of the belly-band to reveal the pocket for the gift card!

Next, Merry Little Labels and the Everyday Label Punch combine with a Stitched Shapes oval framelit and Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper for a quick and easy festive look.

Another belly-band was used to keep the "wallet" closed. The greetings on the inside are from Seasonal Chums.

Finally for today, the hidden front-pocket style was used with this one that combines the Season Like Christmas set with Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper.

A bit of Garden Green Stitched Satin Ribbon was added for some shine behind a combo of the Pretty Label Punch and the Duet Banner Punch to highlight the greeting from Season Like Christmas.

The Pretty Label Punch was also used to create the opening for the gift card.

If you are itching to make one of these projects, use the December hostess code SRHVXBN9 to receive a thank you card (un-signed so YOU can send it to someone else!) and a little embellishment gift from me when you place your order in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

The final sentiment is also included in Ready for Christmas! Save 10% on the bundle, plus the 10% shipping when you order today!

Finally, I've lost the creator's name of this card created with the Season Like Christmas stamp set and the "Glitter Window" technique!

This card, which has the front white panel embossed with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions folder, is so much sparklier and prettier in person!

An impressive but deceptively simple creation!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Little Labels Gift Tags!

Posted on November 16, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm getting back into the swing of normal life after my trip to SLC last week for the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live event. I will start sharing some swaps from there tomorrow!

Today I have another set of gift tags I created for a class at the Elkville Library last week. They wanted to make Christmas gift tags, so I created these with Merry Little Labels, Snowflake Sentiments, Be Merry Designer Series Paper, and the Everyday Label, Scallop Tag Topper, and Pretty Label punches:

Snowflake Sentiments punched with the Pretty Label Punch:

Snowflake Sentiments punched with the Everyday Label Punch:

Merry Little Labels. The tag base is Crumb Cake punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch!

Be Merry Designer Series Paper background layer. I tied each tag with an 8 inch piece of Cherry Cobbler 1/4" Double Stitched Ribbon.

Behind each punched sentiment I added a Cherry Cobbler label punched with the same punch. I cut the Cherry Cobbler label in half with Paper Snips to "stretch" it behind the greeting.

The Garden Green stamped "Let it Snow" is a favorite in the Merry Little Labels set.

"Special Delivery" was stamped once with Cherry Cobbler ink and punched with the Pretty Label Punch, then stamped with Garden Green and hand-cut closely along each side before adhering over the Cherry Cobbler one with SNAIL.

The back of each tag has this sentiment from Merry Little Labels. I used Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Markers to get the color right.

Each tag has Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper snowflakes cut with one or two sizes of Swirly Snowflake Edgelit dies.

I layered two snowflakes together with a glue dot for a more intricate design!
