Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day May 6th!

Posted on May 6, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's time again for Sunday Swap Day! yay!

Today I have an eclectic group of cards to share, but they all have one thing in common: happiness!

First, Kathy Morgan used the Amazing Congratulations set, which is carrying over to the new catalog, with Marina Mist and Night of Navy to create a card that could be used for a birthday, graduation, retirement, or any happy occasion! She used her Stamparatus, available to order when the new catalog goes live on June 1st!

Next, Karen Kurze used Beautiful Day for her bright and happy card:

Carol Slack combined the soon retiring Blooms & Wishes with the Celebrate You Thinlets. She used the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and a color palette of Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, and Whisper White. She also added Clear Wink of Stella to the "celebrate" greeting.

Ruth Bingle created a fun shaker card with the Picture Perfect Birthday set, Berry Burst, and the soon retiring Sweet Sugarplum! I will be CASEing this one with current colors soon!

Finally, Cathy Miller used the carrying over Southern Serenade for her soothing swap.

In case you are wondering what I mean by "retiring" and "carrying over":

Retiring means it is leaving the Stampin' Up! product line and will no longer be available to order after May 31st.

Carrying Over means it will be available to order from the new Annual Catalog, which goes live on June 1st.

Stampin’ Up! Picture Perfect Birthday Candles!

Posted on January 4, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Picture Perfect Party Suite on pages 4-5 of the Occasions Catalog are so bright and happy, it just makes me smile! One of the really wonderful products in this suite is the Picture Pefect Party 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper: 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double-sided designs (that means you have 24 different designs to choose from in this pack!). One side of each page is photo-realistic, meaning it is an actual photo. In the case of this paper the photos are of birthday party items: donuts, party hats, cookies, balloons, candles, noise makers, etc.

For my card today I used the birthday candles print. Each sheet is 6" x 6", so I cut it in half at 3" to make two card fronts.

I stamped the Picture Perfect Birthday greeting with Basic Black ink, then added sprinkles I inked with a baby-wipe "ink pad" I created with Berry Burst and Bermuda Bay ink refills. I added a couple of rhinestones for some sparkly bling.

Stylized Birthday coordinates perfectly with this suite!

I used two-step stamping images to create the package "bow" on this 3" x 3" notecard:

Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay, and Peekaboo Peach are fresh and happy colors!

There is a surprise inside this card! To coordinate with the "cue the confetti" phrase, I snipped pieces of Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist, and Peekaboo Peach card stock into confetti to have ready to burst out the the card when opened!

Thankfully, you can now order all of the supplies to make these cards in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Stampin’ Up! Picture Perfect Birthday!

Posted on December 30, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! While Petal Palette is my #1 favorite from the Occasions Catalog, the number two spot is taken by the Picture Perfect stamp set. In fact, I love everything in the entire Picture Perfect Party Suite on pages 4 & 5 of the Occasions Catalog!

Before Christmas I had a chance to sit down one day to create with the suite. I used a color combo suggested by the colors in the Picture Perfect Party 6 x 6" Designer Series Paper Stack: Bermuda Bay, Berry Burst, and Whisper White! I used the Happy Birthday Thinlet Die to cut out a Bermuda Bay greeting to layer over the designer paper that looks like confetti sprinkles. I embossed the white background layer with the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I cut a second greeting from Berry Burst to layer under the Bermuda Bay one for lift and more color interest.

While not part of the Picture Perfect Party Suite, I added Tutti-Fruitti Adhesive-Backed Sequins because they are fun and easy! Did you notice the words "adhesive-backed"? All you have to do is slide the tip of your Paper Snips or the end of your Paper-Piercing Tool under the sequins and transfer to your project! I LOVE these!

Inside I stamped the Picture Perfect Birthday sentiment with Bermuda Bay ink, then created a mini custom ink pad by dripping a few drops of Bermuda Bay and Berry Burst ink onto a folded baby wipe so I could ink the confetti stamp to stamp around the words.

I stamped the three different candles that are part of Picture Perfect Birthday with Bermuda Bay and Berry Burst ink, stamped the flames with So Saffron, and then added the yellow Tutti-Frutti Adhesive-Backed sequins over the flames. I LOVE the coordination between suites in the Occasions Catalog, as well as the way they also coordinate with Annual Catalog products!

The days are rapidly ticking down! Just a few more days until you can order these same products for yourself! Of course, this also means there are only a few more days left to order from the Holiday Catalog and the Year End Sale, so hop on over to my online store and treat yourself to some goodies before they are gone! http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Just remember, if it's in the Occasions 2018 Catalog, you won't be able to order it until January 3rd.

Picture Perfect Birthday Photopolymer Stamp Set [145519] $17.00	Picture Perfect Party 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [145559] $10.00	Happy Birthday Thinlits Die [143700] $20.00	Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [145648] $8.50

Stampin’ Up! Alaska Achiever’s Blog Hop November 2017!

Posted on November 28, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop! This hop is filled with inspiration to spark your creativity and imagination as you pursue your passion (and mine) of papercrafting. Whether you love to scrapbook, make cards, or giftables and packaging, I'm sure this hop will show you something to get excited about!

Currently you are at my blog, Carol Payne Stamps. At the bottom of this post you will find a list of all of the participating blogs in the hop. To "hop" on to the next blog all you have to do is click on the name below mine. It's that easy!

Our theme for this year's Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop is anything goes, which is a pretty awesome theme, because this way we can each bring you our best and most loved projects! We were encouraged to use products from the upcoming Occasion Catalog, which begins on January 3rd 2018, and I have a fun little "present" for you!

These cards are 4 1/4" square at the Bermuda Bay/Berry Burst base, then an 8" x 4" Whisper White layer scored and folded at 4" creates the fold for the front and inside.

The Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set from the Occasions Catalog was the set Stampin' Up! chose to give to every attendee in their event bag at OnStage Live earlier this month, so I decided to start with this set first.

I chose the bow image to stamp with Bermuda Bay. There is another coordinating stamp to create shadows, but I chose to only use the bold image for my project. I punched it with a 1" Circle Punch and then punched another circle from Bermuda Bay with the 1 1/2" Circle Punch. I painted the bow with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for some sparkle.

I stamped "treat yourself" from Picture Perfect Birthday first before embossing with the Oh My Stars Textured Impressions Folder.

I love the font the sentiments in this set are written with!

I also created a Berry Burst version. The "ribbons" are actually 1/4" wide strips of Berry Burst card stock.

The Berry Burst version also has a bit of Clear Wink of Stella.

I added a couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I just can't decide which version I like better!

Now it's time to move on to the next stop on the hop! Simply click on the name below mine, Carol Payne, and you will almost instantly (or as long as your internet takes) to the next blog on the list!

If you enjoyed these projects, please use the November hostess code 2CACVAJA to receive a gift from me when you place your order in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

If your order is over $150, please don’t use this code, because YOU become the hostess and get the free Stampin’ Rewards.
