Stampin’ Up! One Last Christmas Giftcard Holder with Perfect Blend!

Posted on December 23, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Christmas is almost here! Merry Christmas Eve eve! My kids are all coming in this afternoon/evening and I am in a flurry of last-minute preparations. I still have to get out and grocery shop, with a few last minute additions to the gift list, so this post has to be quick!

I found I one last Christmas Gift Card Holder to show you, this time made with Perfect Blend, Beautifully Barouque Textured Impressions Folder, and the Christmas Ornament punch!

Very sweet and simple. The Small Heart was punched first, then the Christmas Ornament punched around it, then both were used to accent the front.

The slot for the gift card was punched with the Word Window Punch! Genius!

That's all for now! I will be sharing more of my projects for the Stampin' In the New Year Stamp-a-Stack over the next few days, so check in when you can!

Only 11 days left to order your favs from the Holiday Catalog, then the Occasions Catalog starts on January 3rd!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Sorbet 2014 Calendar!

Posted on December 21, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I worked quite a bit today on some new projects for my New Year's Day Stamp-a-Stack, and this is one of them:

I ordered the calendars from vippies.com a few weeks ago with the plan to create a calendar for my stampers to make at the Stampin' in the New Year Birthday Stamp-a-Stack on January 1st, 3rd, and 4th. In case you didn't know, I'm notoriously know for putting things away "safely", then not remembering where "safe" is, but I actually found the package of calendars with not much fuss!

I created an easel-style calendar using the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper and Petals Parade Stamp Set from the Sale-a-bration brochure, and the Petite Petals stamp set from the new Occasions Catalog. Sale-a-bration means you get to choose a free item from the SAB brochure for every $50 you order! This much-loved annual promotion starts January 28th! It's a GREAT time to host a stampin' party because SAB makes it even easier to get more free hostess benefits (which means MORE free stamps and accessories for YOU, the hostess!)

The colors of the paper are Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, Pool Party, Sahara Sand, and Whisper White. After stamping the flowers, I punched them out with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Scallop Punch, and the Petite Pansy Punch. I added 2013/2015 In-Color Boutique Details and a Vintage Faceted Designer Button to the center of the flowers with Glue Dots. The leafy branches are punched with the Bird Builder Punch from Pistachio Pudding cardstock.

I JUST LOVE how the Basic Black mats make everything really POP!

I also added a mini-gel pen behind the Post-It Note pad by adhering a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim with Sticky Strip.

This project folds flat to fit inside a custom box I made for it with the Envelope Punch Board! Come back tomorrow to see it!

This project joins the Pinky Sparkly Birthday Cake card I showed you HERE.

PLEASE RSVP for this class ASAP so I know how many packets to prepare!

That's all for now! You can order Stampin' Up! products from my Online Store:www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!
