Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day! Giftcards Galore!

Posted on December 28, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Hope you are enjoying the time between Christmas and New Year's. We have our nephew, Nathan, and his sweet wife, Laura Beth, with us from Murfreesboro, TN, for a few days, so we are enjoying their visit!

After showing you all of the Christmas gift card holders, I still have a few non-Christmas ones left. Today's post is all about gift card holders!

This first one was created with the Monstermaniacs stamp set( #134972 $14.95):

Monstermaniacs is not shown in any catalog, but you can download the flyer with all of the zany images here:

The Pop 'n Cuts Bigz L Die was also used to create the gift card holder, along with Bermuda Bay cardstock and Birthday Basics Designer Paper. "Happy Birthday" is from the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set.

This masculine gift card holder was made with the Remembering Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Catalog (and only available for a few more days! After January 2nd, it is gone, maybe forever.)

The Woodgrain Textured Impressions folder was used on the Early Espresso cardstock, and the "thinking of you" is from the Wetlands stamp set. Susie Wood is the creator of this card. She used the Envelope Punch Board in a different way to create a card instead of an envelope!

Speaking of Wetlands, this card is a beautiful example of the use of that set!

Marina Mist, Baked Brown Sugar, and Very Vanilla come together with Midnight Muse and Baked Brown Sugar ink to create a masculine but very attractive card.

The Painter's Tape technique was used for the background behind the goose.

Inside the slot for the gift card was punched with the Word Window Punch.

Here's another gift card holder using the Remembering Your Birthday stamps and Birthday Basics Designer Paper again:

The bow was created with the Gift Bow Bigz Die from the Holiday Catalog. If you were waiting to order this die later, DON'T WAIT! As far as I know, this die will no longer be available after January 2nd! It might come back in the new catalog in June, but there's no guarantee!

The Word Window Punch was used again for the gift card slot.

Here's a couple more that are not gift card holders, but I just couldn't resist including them for you today:

Lots of punches used to create the clown, along with Chalk Talk stamps and framelits, Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper, and the Stripes Textured Impressions Folder!

Lastly, this cute card was created using the Zoo Review stamp set, Soft Sky, Whisper White, and Basic Black cardstock, Circle Collection Framelits, and Soft Sky 1/2" Seam Binding.

The penguin stamp in Zoo Review is actually just one single penguin. The creator of this card stamped the center bird first, then covered it with a mask before stamping the same stamp on either side of it. "You Can Never Have Too Much Happy" is from the Yippee-Skippee! stamp set.

There you go! SIX cards for today! How do you like that?

Stampin’Up! Remembering Christmas Goes Camo!

Posted on October 2, 2013 by Carol Payne

I've been finalizing my projects for my classes this weekend, so I've been having fun stamping my heart out!

Today's card uses the Holiday Catalog set, Remembering Christmas, is a different way:

The neatest feature of this card I CASED from this card I showed you HERE. Meg Wheeler used one of the Clear-Mount Perfectly Placed Guides to create her "bullseye/scope" effect, so I repeated it for my card. I put the guide on my copier, copied it 6 times, then cut out all 6 of the guides I needed to cover one sheet of copy paper. I was then able to copy them onto a piece of 8 1/2 x 11" Very Vanilla. After cutting each "bullseye" with my Paper Trimmer, I then stamped the deer on it with Chocolate Chip ink and my Stamp-a-majig.

After the deer was stamped I then added my "camo" look by stamping three different stamps from Gorgeous Grunge around him with Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake ink. I finished my dirty-hunting look with Crumb Cake sponged all around the edges.

Stamps: Remembering Christmas #131760 Wood $17.95 #131763 Clear $13.95, Gorgeous Grunge #130514 Wood $24.95 #130517 Clear $17.95, Hello Lovely #128610 Wood $32.95 #130243 Clear $24.95

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Very Vanilla

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz

Big Shot: Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder #127821 $7.95

Accessories: Clear-Mount Perfectly Placed Guides #121785 $5.95, Stampin' Sponge, 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon #132140 $7.95, Modern Label Punch, Paper Snips, Neutrals Candy Dots #130934 $5.95, Stamp-a-majig #101049 $11.95, SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multi-Purpose Glue

"You're the BEST" is actually the "Thank You You're the BEST" stamp from Hello Lovely. After stamping in Chocolate Chip ink I hand-cut with my Paper Snips, omitting the "thank you". It is adhered with SNAIL adhesive to the Garden Green Modern Label that I sponged with Crumb Cake ink. I flanked the greeting with two Chocolate Chip Candy Dots from the Neutrals package. The label is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to the cut-down-snipped-and-frayed piece of 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon. I adhered the Burlap Ribbon to the card front with Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive Glue.

I always have the hardest time deciding what to stamp on the inside of my card, but this time was no problem! I continued the "camo" look with the Gorgeous Grunge stamps and the "you make me happy", which is also from Hello, Lovely!

That's all for now! Thanks so much for stopping in to see my creation today!

Stampin’Up! Remembering Christmas!

Posted on September 19, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hello! I'm back with a couple of swaps I've received using the Holiday Catalog set, Remembering Christmas!

When I first saw this set in the catalog, I thought, "I don't need this set! That's at least ONE set I won't buy!"

Well, I was WRONG!

First, here's what you might consider the "traditional" use of the deer head in this set:

The deer has been stamped on Night of Navy with Whisper White Craft ink( just found out she used the Illuminate Glimmer Pad. There are no recipes on our swap cards so sometimes I just have to guess), then cut out with one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits. A Smokey Slate Apothecary Accents Framelit was cut in half and layered behind it. Merry Christmas from More Merry Messages (on the Carryover List) was stamped on a strip of Winter Frost Designer Specialty Paper, then snipped on one end to create the banner look. A tiny snippet of Silver 1/8" Ribbon was tied on the other end for a little sparkle. The Whisper White layer was embossed with the Stylish Striped Textured Impressions Folder to complete the classic look.

It was a nice card, but still not enough to make me buy this set. My husband doesn't hunt, but one of my SIL's is an avid hunter. Imagine my surprise when I opened my swap envelope last month and found this:

This swap was created by Meg Wheeler. She used the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder for her card base. She inked the negative side of the folder with Basic Black ink before running through the Big Shot. Meg used one of the Clear-Mount Perfectly Placed Guides on her copier to print the "bulls-eye" and grid on the Very Vanilla cardstock. She stamped the deer head and the bullet-hole-resembling splotches from Gorgeous Grunge in Jet Black StazOn before adding "Greetings of the Season" from the Greetings of the Season stamp set to a Window Sheet.The adhesive to hold the window sheet on the card are Glue Dots and are located on the splotches in order to camoflage them.

To tell you how neat this card is, when I showed it to my husband, even HE was impressed, and I think "greetings of the season" is a great play on words for hunting season, yes?

This second card would make a perfect card for any reason for the hunter in your life!

Well, I'd better get going! Lots to do today!

Until tomrrow, have a Stampgingrox! day!
