Hey there! It's time for the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop! The theme for our very first hop is "anything you like!" This hop is exclusive to Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who have earned the 2018 Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip : a week-long cruise along the lower Alaska coast!

This hop includes Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world, so get ready to be "wow'd"! Right now you are at my blog, Carol Payne Stamps. To continue on after you view my project, simply click on the name below mine in the list below to move on to the next blog.

For my project I used the extremely popular and very versatile stamp set from the Holiday Catalog, Painted Harvest!

I used the Direct-Ink-too-Embossing-Folder technique in addition to the Gilded Faux Silk technique to create this elegant-but-easy card. This one may very well be MY card this year!

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_wreath_carolpaynestamps1

 To create the wreath I used just the smaller of the bloom images from Painted Harvest, stamped with Tranquil Tide ink on a white coffee filter. After crumpling and adhering to a Whisper White square, I wrapped the edges around the the back and then patted the creases and wrinkles with a Versamark ink pad. I then sprinkled Gold Stampin' Emboss powder and heated with my Heat Tool. I adhered  it to a Gold Foil layer cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit.

 Tiny Rhinestones I colored with my Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends (you can start ordering them on November 1st!) were added for the berries, and I adhered a tiny bow tied with Real Red 1/8" Solid Ribbon with a glue dot.

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_wreath_carolpaynestamps3

 I stamped "Merry Christmas!" from the Merry Patterns Host set (only available with a party or customer order of at least $300 before tax & shipping through October 31st) with Tranquil Tide. After punching with my best-friend punch, Classic Label, I adhered with dimensionals.

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_wreath_carolpaynestamps4

 I repeated the wreath motif on the inside,  using a sentiment from Snowflake Sentiments.

Stampin’ Up! Monday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Monday Swap Day!

Hey there! Today is a fabulous day to share some fabulous swaps! As you know, I participate in a monthly swap where I make 21 swap the same and receive 20 different swaps in return. This year the swaps have been particularly fabulous, but if I don't add in a few extra swap days I'll not get to share them all with you. Hence the need for a Monday Swap Day now and then! I did get to stamp some over the weekend, in addition to hitting the Express Care for my sinus infections and getting a new phone (BIG SMILE) to replace the one dropped in the bathtub last week by my littlest baby granddaughter. The weather has not been very cooperative for me, though, so I've not been able to photograph any of my creations. I hope to get that done today so I have a new creation to share tomorrow!

So without further ado. . . . here we go!

First, a lovely fall card created with Colorful Seasons and the Baby Wipe technique:

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_carolpaynestamps1

The inside is just as lovely as the outside. I love Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Early Espresso together!

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Landa Cartwright also used Colorful Seasons, adding the Seasonal Layers thinlets to create a bouquet of lovely leaves!

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_carolpaynestamps3

Lorraine Duran combined the Paisley's & Poises greeting with the Gourd Goodness set, stamping the gourds and greeting first before embossing with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder. Old Olive 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon and a Pear Pizzazz leaf punched with the Leaf Punch pull it all together!

Stampin_up_gourd_goodness_carolpaynestamps1

Finally, Cathy Miller used the Painted Harvest Bundle to create her Dutch Fold card. I love her combo of Tangerine Tango, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla!

  Stampin_up_painted_harvest_dutch_fold_carolpaynestamps1
Lorraine used a print from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper pack for the dutch doors.

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_dutch_fold_carolpaynestamps2

 Lifting the center flap reveals just how the three "doors" of this card combine to create a lovely whole!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Christmas Hedgehog!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Christmas Hedgehog!

Hey there! Today I have an adorable idea to make with the Painted Harvest stamp set that is truly out-of-the-box! It almost feels like punch art, but without the punches! This is not my original idea, but the card design is all mine:

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_hedgehog_carolpaynestamps1

Isn't he just so stinkin' cute?!!! Basically he is 2/3 of the Painted Harvest bloom layers, stamped first with Crumb Cake and then Early Espresso. The center is also Crumb Cake, stamped with one of the faces from the Foxy Friends stamp set. I used a Garden Green gingham print from the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper pack, Quilted Christmas 1/4" Ribbon, and a Hearts & Stars Element in the lower right corner.

I used sentiments from the Snowflake Sentiments set for my greetings, stamped with Garden Green, and stamped snowflakes with Real Red. Overall it's a pretty quick & easy card!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Christmas Tag!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Christmas Tag!

Hey there! When I started making Christmas cards with the Painted Harvest stamp set, the ideas just kept on rollin'!

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_tag_carolpaynestamps1

 Embossing directly on the card front stretches and distorts the paper and makes it sort of floppy, so I cut another piece of the same Old Olive  4" x 5 1/4" to emboss with the Holly Textured Impressions Folder, adhering with a dimensional in each corner. I stamped the bloom twice with just the inside layer of the Painted Harvest sunflower with Real Red, then filled in the center with Crushed Curry. I stamped the solid leaves with stamped-off Old Olive and the detailed leaves with full-strength. I stamped the "Merry Christmas!" from the limited-time Hostess set, Merry Patterns, with black ink. After cutting with a Layering Circle Framelit, I layered it on a Stitched Shapes Framelit Circle cut from Gold Foil. It really gives it a gold-rimmed tag look!

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_tag_carolpaynestamps2

 I wanted to continue the gold on the inside so I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" layer. For future cards I will be cutting my Stitched Shapes circle "tag" from the center of this layer to conserve my Gold Foil Sheets. This layer will be covered with the white stamped layer anyway!

Stampin_up_gold_foil_carolpaynestamps

 Here's my final layer for the inside. I used a Watercolor Christmas sentiment with more stamped blooms. I love to coordinate my envelope by stamping some of the same images for a fun teaser when the card arrives!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Gilded Faux Silk!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Gilded Faux Silk!

Hey there! Today's card is also done with the Faux Silk technique, but I added the Gilding technique to step it up!

Stampin_up_gilded_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps1

Both natural and white coffee filters work great for this technique. I stamped the Painted Harvest bloom all over a natural one for today's card. I used Real Red ink, but when stamped on the natural filter it looks more like Cherry Cobbler. After stamping I crumpled into a ball, kind of tightly, then opened back up loosely. I didn't smooth out all of the wrinkles and creases before gluing to my 4" x 5 1/4" Very Vanilla layer. After folding and adhering the edges to the back side of the layer with liquid glue I adhered to an Early Espresso 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" layer on the Real Red card base.

Stampin_up_gilded_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps5

After the layer was attached to the card base I gently pressed my Versamark pad on the creases and wrinkles, sprinkled gold embossing powder over the entire card front, and tapped off the excess back into my embossing powder container. I also used a soft brush to selectively flick away excess powder where ti was sticking too much to the still-damp ink. I then used my heat tool to emboss the powder and achieve the "gilded" look.

Stampin_up_gilded_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped a greeting from Merry Mistletoe with Old Olive ink on a 1" strip of Very Vanilla, snipping one end with my Paper Snips into banner points. I scraped the edges of the banner on the Versamark pad, dipped the edges in the Gold embossing powder, and heated with the Heat Tool to get a hint of gold edge. After wrapping Gold Metallic Thread a few times I tied a knot around the threads. I finished it off with a stamped holly from Carols of Christmas and three pearls I colored with the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend Marker.

(Stampin' Blends alcohol markers will be available to order on November 1st! Contact me my email or leave a comment here if you would like to receive a copy of the Stampin' Blends Brochure in the mail from me)

Stampin_up_gilded_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped another Merry Mistletoe sentiment with Old Olive ink, and stamped the Very Vanilla envelope to match the inside of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Meets Faux Silk!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Meets Faux Silk!

Hey there! I had a chance to play late last week, and the card I'm sharing today was one of the ones I created with the Faux Silk technique. I used Painted Harvest with sentiments from Merry Mistletoe to create this bright and cheery card:

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps1

For this one I stamped the Painted Harvest bloom with Real Red ink on a white coffee filter (yes, I have both white and natural in my coffee cabinet, although I'm trying to use the natural ones to reduce our bleach exposure in our coffee) I stamped the centers with Crushed Curry and the leaves with Old Olive. In true "faux silk" fashion, I then crumpled the filter into a ball before opening back up and adhering to a Whisper White layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I trimmed the filter to about an inch on all sides, then turned the edges to the backside, mitered the corners, and then adhered with more glue.

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_faux_silk_carolpaynestamps1

The wrinkles and creases did not show up in my photos, but the effect is stunning!

Stampin_up_painted_harvest_carolpaynestamps2

I used Gold Foil for to mat behind the layers to coordinate with the gold-embossed greeting from Merry Mistletoe. I stamped holly leaves from Carols of Christmas with Old Olive on  Old Olive card stock, cut with a Card Front Layers Thinlet, and then adhered with glue dots. I added the smallest of the Gold Faceted Gems for more sparkle.

Stampin_up_merry_misteltoe_carolpaynestamps1

Inside I gold-embossed another Merry Mistletoe sentiment.
