Stampin’ Up! Best of Retiring Part 1!

Posted on May 12, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! With just a couple of weeks left (19 days!) before the Retiring List expires, I thought now might be a good time to review some of my favorites of this past Stampin' Up! catalog year. All of the projects I will be posting today and for the next few days use retiring stamps and accessories that are still available in my online store.

PLEASE NOTE: STAMPS are guaranteed available up until May 22nd. After that date they will only be available while the current supply for that set lasts.

ACCESSORIES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST NOW, SO ORDER SOON! LIKE TODAY!

I'm starting with cards posted in May 2016. You can still use the links in the supply lists to find the items in my online store.

First, a card created with Love & Affection stamps and Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (which is 30% off on the Retiring List!)

View the entire post for this card HERE.

Next, a card created with also retiring Traveler. View the full post HERE.

Llama llama! I fell in love with this fun guy from Birthday Fiesta! View the full easel/shaker card post HERE.

I created another Birthday Fiesta card, also using retiring Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper.

View my full post HERE.

I used the bleach stamping technique with Picture Perfect to create my husband's Father's Day card.

Get all the info HERE.

Finally for today, I used the Color Blocking technique with the retiring sets Wetland and Kinda Eclectic.

I can hardly believe it's been almost a year since I created this card! View the whole post HERE.

I'll be back tomorrow with more blasts from the past!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday!

Posted on December 20, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Christmas Chaos Countdown has really gotten the better of me this year. Seems like I'm playing catch-up with everything, including blogging! eeek!

Today I want to share with you some swaps I received last month with a "techniques" theme.

First, Renee Watson used the "Smackin' Acetate" technique to get the splotchy background for her balloons. The greeting is from Confetti Celebration. She added sparkle to the black balloons with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen.

Next, Lorraine Duran used Feather Together with Dapper Denim cardstock and ink, stamping on Watercolor Paper for more texture. She used retiring Kraft Rope Trim, which is discounted 40% off while supplies last!

Cindy Ewertz gold heat-embossed directly onto Moroccan Designer Series Paper with images from the retiring It's a Celebration set:

If you didn't get Christmas cards made this year, it's not too late to do some for the New Year!

Finally, Rhonda Bassler used the Picture Perfect set for her easel card:

She used the emboss-resist technique, embossing the starfish with clear powder on Very Vanilla before sponging with Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sky ink.

I have more to share, but I'll save them for another day.

There are still plenty of Year-End savings available in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Stampin’ Up! More Bleach!

Posted on June 21, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I made a quick video of how to do the bleach technique over the weekend, but it's only posted on my private Facebook group, Carol Payne's Stampers, so if you aren't a member there, you can't see it. I filmed it with my phone, but haven't figured out how to download it to my computer. Maybe I can using the tether-thingy that came with the phone, but of course, that would require FINDING the tether. I'm sure I've put it away somewhere "safe". sigh.

For this card I stamped the Touches of Texture with bleach on Mint Macaron card stock and it came out Pool Party, so that's what I used for my card base. I stamped the "sand" stamp from Touches of Texture with Mint Macaron, and added a greeting from Badges & Banners heat-embossed on Vellum and punched with the Duet Banner Punch. I tied a knot in a length of Mint Macaron 3/8" Sheer Linen Ribbon to bring it all together.

Inside I added a layer of Mint Macaron, then a layer of Whisper White that I stamped with a phrase from Picture Perfect and the bloom from the front in Mint Macaron.

Stampin’ Up! Picture Perfect Father’s Day!

Posted on June 19, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy Father's Day! My daddy has been gone since 1994, but it's still a special day because of my sweetheart, Mark. He's daddy to my six babies, and Papa to all 8 and 6/9th's grandbabies. Married for almost 39 years, I can't imagine doing this life with anyone else. He's my rock and my best friend!

Of course, it's my joy to make his card!

I combined the starfish from Picture Perfect with a sentiment from Guy Greetings. I used new Serene Scenery designer paper for the front and Layering Squares Framelits to cut the window and the layered squares for the greeting.

I sponged all of the edges of everything with Soft Suede ink. The Serene Scenery paper already was distressed-looking, but I added more!

I had an idea to use bleach on So Saffron card stock and then stamp over it with the starfish, but I decided to use an unbleached So Saffron one instead. Of course, well sponged!

I added a few loops of Linen Thread behind it, then colored pearls with a gold permanent marker.

This fun-fold is just so different than anything I've tried before, but so easy!

There will be plenty of room for everyone to sign their name!

Stampin’ Up! Mediterranean Achiever’s Blog Hop, Wedding Dreams!

Posted on March 23, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there!

Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for March. This month's theme is Wedding Dreams. We're sure you will find some incredible inspiration from the projects that you are about to see!

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Carol Payne, or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects!

For my project I decided to use a Whisper White Note Card and Envelope for my base to create this actually quick and easy wedding card, perfect to add to a gift or to just tuck in cash, gift card, or a check!

Stampin_up_big_news_carolpaynestamps_1 - Copy

I kept a neutral color scheme, adding only Tip Top Taupe inks and accessories for an elegant look!

Stampin_up_big_news_carolpaynestamps_2 - Copy

After layering Tip Top Taupe on the base, I heat-embossed a layer of Shimmery White multiple times using a rose stamp from Picture Perfect and Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

Stampin_up_big_news_carolpaynestamps_3 - Copy

I stamped a greeting from Big News with Tip Top Taupe, rubbed the inked greeting with my embossing buddy, then stamped and embossed a single rose with Iridescent Ice over part of the word, making that area of the greeting darker. I cut it with a Lots of Labels framelit, then drew around outside of the same framelit with a pencil to hand-cut the Tip Top Taupe mat. This was added over the Tip Top Taupe 1" Dotted Lace Trim with a Stampin' Dimensional in each corner. Adding a Tip Top Taupe In Color Blossom Accent with a glue dot was the perfect finishing touch!

Stampin_up_big_news_carolpaynestamps_4 - Copy

Inside I continued the embossed-rose theme, and stamped the companion sentiment from Big News.

I lined the envelope with a lovely script design from the Neutrals Color Collection Designer Paper Stack.

Stampin’ Up! Sky is the Limit for December Online Class!

Posted on December 15, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there. I'm having internet issues today, so I'm at Liam's house, which, although the internet signal is slow and unreliable, is better than the internet at my house, which is less than zero.

Today's project is the third and final card for the December Online Class. I immediately wanted to use the Sky Is the Limit set from the Sale-a-bration Brochure as soon as I spied it. I especially wanted to get busy with it because it is a limited edition set that will only be available until February 15!

I found the new Sunburst Thinlet die in the Occasions catalog and knew I had to pair it up with the airplane. After using the "inlaid embossing" technique with the Elegant Dots folder, I did a little bit of "fancy cutting" with my Paper Snips and then added a Neutrals Candy Dot to the propeller.

I stamped the airplane with Sahara Sand first, stamped the greeting with Early Espresso, then punched with the Tree Builder Punch, which make perfect clouds!

I did the same after stamping the exhaust-clouds, also with Sahara Sand.

All of the greetings used today are from the Sky Is the Limit set.

The products I used today will be available to order on January 5th, but there's lots of great deals still available in the new Weekly Deals and Year End Sale. You can check it all out when you click on the "Shop Now" tab in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Four things to remember while you are placing your order in my online store:
1. All orders of any amount (except for Online Class Orders) will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail.
2. Be sure to check out the Weekly Deals and Clearance Rack while you’re shopping for savings ranging from 25% to 60%.

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 Card Class cards, six cards, two each of the 3 designs,with envelopes and instructions, FREE!

4. When your order (before tax & shipping) reaches $150 choose free Stampin' Rewards starting at 10% of the total.With new Stampin’ Rewards you get credit for every dollar you spend!

That’s all for now, until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!
