Stampin’ Up! Parisian Flourish Nativity!

Stampin’ Up! Parisian Flourish Nativity!

Hey there! Today's card was created with the Peaceful Nativity Bundle.  I found an old swap while I was cleaning the other day and  decided to re-create with new colors, stamps, and accessories:

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity2

I used Blackberry Bliss for my card base and the strip I embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. After embossing I brayered over the embossed images with White Craft Ink. I decided the white was overpowering the design, so I removed some of the ink from the raised areas by lightly swiping with a baby wipe. I just had to let it dry for a bit before adding any adhesive. I really like the look!

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity3

After gold heat-embossing the Holy Family on Shimmery White, I punched with the Label Me Lovely Punch. I punched a second label from gold Brushed Metallic card stock, cut it in half, to add to the back of the label. I cut the star from the same gold Brushed Metallic with a Nativity Die.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity4

I gold heat-embossed the greeting and added three Gilded Gems.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity5

Here's a paper-saving trick: I conserved my gold Brushed Metallic card stock by cutting 1/2" strips the length I needed to adhere to the edges of the front embossed strip and to the inside layer!

Dimensions:

Blackberry Bliss card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded 4 1/4"  embossed strip: 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Brushed Metallic (gold) strips:   1/2" x 5 1/2" (need 2 front), 1/2" x 4 3/4" (need 2 inside)  to punch label:  3" x 3" to cut star: scrap

Stampin’ Up! Warm Hugs Gift Card Holder!

Stampin’ Up! Warm Hugs Gift Card Holder!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you a project I created with another oldie-but-goodie: the envelope gift card holder!

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_christmas_giftcard_holder_carolpaynestamps1

Super-easy and economical to make, I made these for my swap this month! The base of the holder is a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope, folded in half, the flap cut in half on the fold line, and one flap adhered down while the other flap remains to insert the gift card!

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_christmas_giftcard_holder_carolpaynestamps8

I embellished it with Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (on sale 15% off this month!) and images from both Wrapped in Christmas and Warm Hugs.

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_christmas_giftcard_holder_carolpaynestamps5

The Warm Wraps Dies contains everything you need to cut out the sentiments and the tree, heart, and candy canes! I cut the greeting layers on the front with Stitched Rectangle Dies and tied it closed with a length of Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon.

Stampin_up_wrapped_in_christmas_giftcard_holder_carolpaynestamps9

Here's the basic dimensions to cover the folds of the holder:

Front, and inside Garden Green layers: 2 3/4" x 4 3/8" – need two

Toile Tidings layer: 2 5/8" x 4 1/8" – need two

Garden Green for flap: 2 7/8" x 2 1/4"   for layer below the flap: 2 7/8" x 3 5/8"

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home!

Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home!

Hey there! Today I have the second sympathy card I created a few days go, this time with Sailing Home, Drybrush Background, and a little bit of Comfort & Hope!

Stampin_up_sailing_home

After I created the Comfort & Hope card I shared with you HERE, I got to thinking that Drybrush could look like shiplap, or the paint peeling off of the hull of a ship, so I stamped a Whisper White panel with Misty Moonlight ink and loved the look!

After stamping and cutting out the lighthouse with a Smooth Sailing die, I cut another lighthouse from Misty Moonlight to cut in half vertically so I could layer it on each side of the stamped one to give it more depth and stand out from the Drybrush background of the same color.

Stampin_up_sailing_home_carolpaynestamps2

I love this sentiment from Sailing Home. I cut it with the Story Label Punch and added a Misty Moonlight In Color Enamel Dot for my finishing touch!

Stampin_up_sailing_home_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I used the Comfort & Hope sentiment. Sympathy cards are hard to make. This sentiment is perfect when there is nothing you can say to make it better.

Stampin_up_sailing_home_carolpaynestamps4

Dimensions:

Whisper White Thick card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4"

Whisper White layer: 4" x 5 1/4"  for lighthouse and greeting label: scraps inside sentiment layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Misty Moonlight inside layer:  4" x 5 1/4" for lighthouse mat and greeting label mat: scraps

Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful!

Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful!

Hey there and welcome to the Paper Crafting Monthly Blog featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world! You may have arrived from Shirley's blog. She had a fabulous project!

80233386_2500721953548607_3735354368958922752_o

Our October theme is Fall with a Designer Series Paper focus since Stampin' Up! is offering a great sale on select Designer Series Papers this month for 15% off. I decided to use the Life is Beautiful stamp set with Plain Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, which is one of the sale packs!

Stampin_up_life_is_beautiful_carolpaynestamps2

I used the baby wipes technique to stamp the leaves on the trees, and then cut with a Celebration Labels Die.

Stampin_up_life_is_beautiful_carolpaynestamps3

The baby wipes technique is an easy way to get color on your stamps! I dropped Cajun Craze, Bumblebee, and Cherry Cobbler in refills on a baby wipe to create a custom "inkpad". Then I inked the leaves stamp with the baby wipe inkpad to get the lovely fall color! You can use the "inkpad" for multiple stampings in the same session!

Stampin_up_life_is_beautiful_carolpaynestamps8

I snuck in a little bit of Gathered Leaves with the pumpkins stamped with Cajun Craze.

Stampin’ Up! Comfort & Hope!

Stampin’ Up! Comfort & Hope!

Hey there! Sympathy cards are not my favorite thing to make, but I had to make two this past weekend, so I want to share this card with the Comfort & Hope stamp set today and I will share the other one soon.

I just received the Dry Brush Background stamp a couple of weeks ago from the One-Day stamp sale, but I've been so busy playing with designer series paper that I almost forgot about it!

Stampin_up_comfort_&_hope_carolpaynestamps1

As with just about any card I make that I know I'm going to be giving one away, I make two. One of these will go in the mail tomorrow. I combined three sets to make this card with a bit of a masculine feel: Comfort & Hope,  Dry Brush, and Swirly Frames.

I used Misty Moonlight,  Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla for my color combo. I used the largest smooth and the largest scalloped Layering Circle Dies to cut the layers.

Stampin_up_comfort_&_hope_carolpaynestamps2

I added a multi-loopy bow to the  edge of the circle with a glue dot.

Stampin_up_comfort_&_hope_carolpaynestamps3

I used the Swirly Frames circle on the front focal image and this swirly circles from the Comfort & Hope stamp set inside.

I love this sentiment: "sending you a paper hug"!

Stampin_up_comfort_&_hope_carolpaynestamps4

Dimensions:

Misty Moonlight card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Soft Suede layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" – need two  to cut scalloped circle: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Stampin’ Up! Just Saying Hello!

Stampin’ Up! Just Saying Hello!

Hey there! Today I have another fall-themed card with Gilded Autumn Specialty Paper! I'm so sorry Gilded Autumn is un-orderable right now!

Stampin_up_tasteful_touches_carolpaynestamps1

I combined two Annual Catalog sets, Nature's Beauty (deer) and Tasteful Touches (greeting). After stamping the greeting with Early Espresso ink I stamped the deer with stamped-off-once Crumb Cake. I cut it and its' Cajun Craze mat with a Tasteful Labels Die.

Stampin_up_tasteful_touches_carolpaynestamps2

I adhered the matted greeting on a layer of Gilded Autumn Specialty strips that I embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder and then sponged with Crumb Cake ink. I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim around the layer, securing on the back side with tape. I thought about adding a bow but decided this card didn't need one. I finished it all off with a Gilded Gem to coordinate with the gold and copper foil on one of the  Gilded Autumn Specialty strips.

Stampin_up_tasteful_touches_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Pallet Thoughts with Early Espresso ink, then another stamped-off-Crumb Cake deer and a leaf spray from Tasteful Touches in stamped-off Cajun Craze.

Stampin_up_tasteful_touches_carolpaynestamps6
Dimensions:

Cajun Craze card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2" greeting mat: 4" x 3" inside mat: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"

Early Espresso layer: 4" x 5 1/4" -need two

Gilded Autumn strips: 1 1/4" x 5" – need three  to cover envelope flap: 2 1/4" x 5 3/4"

Very Vanilla greeting: 4" x 3"     inside sentiment layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

1/4" Faux Suede ribbon: about 6 inches
