Hey there! Busy, busy, busy weekend! We had our final Holiday Open House and Vendor Fair on Saturday, which was very well attended, and then on Sunday evening we threw the twins baby shower at church. Whew!

So today I have some cute little swaps to share!

Tamie Ackerson created this adorable little gift card holder with Merry Moments Designer Paper, Home for Christmas Designer Paper, Snow Place stamps set, and Gift Card Envelope and Trims dies:

Cindy Ewertz also used Merry Moments Designer Paper and the Gift Card Envelope and Trims dies, adding in the Oh What Fun stamp set for her creation:

She attached the gift card holder to the inside of the belly band!

Finally, Jan Rodrian used Red Foil paper with the Embellished Ornaments and Delicate Ornaments Dies for her gift card holder:

She used a die from the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits to cut the slot to insert the gift card:

Stampin’ Up! A Found Swap Day!

Posted on December 2, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I am recovering from a nasty UTI. Without being TMI, my doctor said it was a "rip roarin" one. Fortunately, the prescription is working and I'm feeling much better.

Obviously, I've had no motivation to stamp, but I hunted through my pictures and found a some lost cards. Weird, but they must have hidden themselves just so I would have something to share today!

First, Mary Waring used the soon-retiring Square Pillow Box Dies with (in a Bundle to save 15%!) A Little Something stamps. She added Silver Glimmer Paper, Silver Cording (retiring), Whisper White 5/8" Satin ribbon, and colored Rhinestones with a Sharpie to coordinate with the Season of Cheer Designer Paper(retiring):

Next, Nancy Hall used Merry Moments Paper Stack with the Tree Punch, Decorative Dots and Stylish Stripes Folders, Itty Bitty Accents Punches, and Festival of Trees and Embellished Ornaments sets for a gift card holder:

Laura Milligan used a Sketched Dots Tag a Bag Gift Bag with the Tree Punch, Christmas Greetings Thinlets, Decorative Label Punch, Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Crumb Cake 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain, and a Tea Lace Doily for a gift card/treat holder:

Finally, Susan Berreth used a Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bag for her fold-up gift card holder. She used Versatile Christmas (retiring), Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Paper, Curvy Corner Trio Punch, and Peaceful Pines Framelits:

All of these items, while some are retiring, are still available in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

3. When your order is at least $35 (before tax & shipping) and you use the December Online Hostess Code: 37GUXJKT you will receive the December Online Birthday Card Class cards, six cards, two each of the 3 designs,with envelopes and instructions, FREE!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Moments Ensemble by Becky!

Posted on November 9, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I was browsing through my picture files and realized I had not yet shown you the projects that were demonstrated at my team meeting a couple of weeks ago!

Becky Anderson demonstrated how to create the basket I featured back in September. You can view my post HERE.

We all enjoyed her demonstration, which was even quicker because she used the Stampin' Up! Handheld Stapler for most of the basket construction!

She demonstrated her "Reason for the Season" Christmas basket with Merry Moments Designer Series paper:

Then brought out the ensemble of projects she had created to go along with it!

Dove of Peace:

Holly Jolly Greetings and the Christmas Greetings Thinlets:

A treat pouch created with the smallest Envelope Liner Thinlet Die and Holly Jolly Greetings:

A little stand-up treat box with Merry Moments paper and a Vintage Faceted Designer Button:

Stampin’ Up! Merry Moments Banners!

Posted on August 26, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card that I am IN LOVE with to share!

I started with new Whisper White Thick Card Stock from the Annual Catalog, then added 7/8" x 4 3/4" strips of Merry Moments Designer Paper punched with the Banner Triple Punch:

This card just looks like snow, sweaters, and CHRISTMAS TIME to me!

The Whisper White Thick card stock is super-smooth and sturdy, making it the perfect choice for a card base, particularly one that has thin strips instead of full layers.

I stamped a greeting from the "To You & Yours Too" set in the Holiday Catalog (only 6 more sleeps till you can place your first order!) along the bottom with Cherry Cobbler ink. Merry Moments Designer Paper has both Cherry Cobbler AND Real Red, as well as Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Smoky Slate, and Whisper White, so you can play up different colors for varying looks!

I embossed a 1/2" wide Mossy Meadow strip with the Boughs & Berries Textured Impressions Folder, adding a Snowflake Element and a Home for Christmas Designer Button. A bit of thread from 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon threaded in the button gives a rustic feel.

Inside I stamped a Versatile Christmas sentiment (another new Holiday Catalog set), and stars from To You & Yours Too.

After punching the banners for the front I added all of these little "picket-fence/barns/home plate pieces to the inside. Whatever you call them, they're adorable!

Here's your shopping list: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

To You & Yours Too Photopolymer Stamp Set [139819] $16.00	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [140272] $7.00	Merry Moments Designer Series Paper [138450] $11.00	Mossy Meadow 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [133676] $7.00

Stampin’ Up!Christmas in July – Lots of Joy!

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again today with another card from my Christmas in July class this past weekend. I was inspired by the retro look of the sentiments in the Lots of Joy set to create this card with ALL of them on the same card!

I used two of the designs in the Merry Moments Designer Paper pack for the background. I stamped each sentiment in its' own color: Real Red, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, and Cherry Cobbler.

I gave the ordinary squares cut with the Squares Collection Framelits more pop by rounding two of the four corners with the corner rounder on the Envelope Punch Board.

A Red Glimmer star punched with the star from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and a Neutrals Candy Dot are the only added embellishments.

Inside I stamped more Lots of Joy images, and then used one of the sentiments from the Merry Everything set punched with the Note Tag Punch.

I stamped the envelope with another of the 10 images in Lots of Joy with Cherry Cobbler ink.

ETA: I have had requests for the measurements for this card so I am adding the document for you here:
