Atreyu Zion!

Atreyu Zion!

If you stopped by today for my usual Sunday Swap Day, that feature of  my blogging schedule will resume on Sunday, August 7th. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy today's blog about my newest grandson and a delicate and fun Wisteria Wishes card!

Hey there! My two weeks off turned into almost the whole month of July! This month has been a crazy whirlwind of taking care of Alisa's family (and snuggling Atreyu!), a BIG stampin' party of 24 people for my hostess Cindy in New Minden, a birthday sleep-over at my house for Oakley, another stamping party for Sandra in Marion, babysitting four granddaughter's and a grand-dog for almost a week while the families were at the National Association of Free Will Baptists National Youth Conference, and another birthday/swim party for Cyndal yesterday! Today is the first day in a long time that I haven't had someone extra either coming or going from my house, but I've loved every minute of it! (I will admit I am a bit extra tired, but still loved it! )

All of this busyness has taken a toll on my stamping and sharing time, that's for sure! I want to get back to a more regular schedule of stamping and sharing, especially since the first month of Sale-a-bration is almost over and only the month of August is left!

First, I want to share just a few pics of my newest grandson, Atreyu Zion Hiller, born on July 5th, 2022 at 6:09 a.m.! He is the biggest (so far) of Alisa's babies, weighing in at 8 lbs, 12 oz. We are totally smitten with him already!

Atreyu 12 hours old. (all pictures posted today were taken by my daughter, Jessica Hollis)

and after:

295386204_10222136457461048_2167766437602911084_n

Atreyu joins big brothers Oakley (9) and Lando (7). He also is little brother to Ivory (5), Cyndal (4), and Avara (2)!

Now I have a re-do of a Wisteria Wishes card to share that I shared with you earlier. This card is a CASE (Copy and Share Everything) of a swap card I received from Daveda Leppke.

I used Fresh Freesia for the card stock base and layer, along with Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent, and Evening Evergreen ink. I used Soft Succulent for the matting behind the stamped layers.

Stampin_up_wisteria_wishes_carolpaynestamps1

I embossed the Fresh Freesia background layer with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder to add some detailed texture. I stamped the vines and leaves with Soft Succulent ink, then added the wisteria blooms, which are all three on one stamp, with stamped-off-once Fresh Freesia ink. I then added more bloom detail with the single wisteria bloom from the set, using full-strength Fresh Freesia ink.

Stampin_up_wisteria_wishes_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the greeting, included in the Wisteria Wishes set, with Evening Evergreen ink. I added a few Pastel Pearls to finish the card front.

Stampin_up_wisteria_wishes_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped another Wisteria Wishes sentiment and a few more wisteria blooms.

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July!

Hey there! Happy Fourth of July! I'm so thankful to be an American and have had the privilege to live in the U.S.A. all my life! We started our church service yesterday morning with the Star Spangled Banner and everyone standing to face the flag. Such a great way to honor God & country!

Today's card was created by one of my customers, Sharon McBride. Sharon has been stamping for many years, even before she discovered Stampin' Up! products. She said in her handwritten note inside the card "this card is a relic! One of the very first I made, probably 35 years ago, at least, when I used only paper, stamps, inks, punches, and a few embellishments! Today – so many amazing products! I know this card is a "plain Jane" card!"

4th_of_July_card_carolpaynestamps1

Sharon, I BEG TO DIFFER! This is a lovely card with LOTS of fun "bells & whistles"!

In addition to classic Red, White, Blue, and Silver card stocks and inks, she heat embossed with a sparkly powder the fireworks!

4th_of_July_card_carolpaynestamps2

She used a cute small star punch . .

4th_of_July_card_carolpaynestamps3

She stamped the wavy red lines, hand-drew the silver lines over each one, then stamped silver stars. She added punched red, blue, and silver stars with dots of glue, then added the white star clip as the finishing touch!

4th_of_July_card_carolpaynestamps4

NOT a "plain Jane" card at all!

Although this card was not created with Stampin' Up! products, I love it and see the potential for CASEing with the layout, colors and embellishment ideas!

Thank you, Sharon, for a lovely card!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day July 3rd!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day July 3rd!

Hey there! It's Sunday again, which means it's time for Sunday Swap Day! yay!

I know everyone may be busy with Fourth of July gatherings, and we are getting a bit anxious about the arrival of Alisa's new baby boy, Atreyu, so I will just jump right in and start sharing the swaps I have for you today!

First, a pretty swap card created with the Happiness Abounds Bundle and the Hues of Happiness Designer Paper. The Blossoming Happiness dies in the bundle cut out the blooms in some of the designer paper sheets!

Stampin_up_hues_of_happiness_carolpaynestamps1

The inside greeting is also from the Happiness Abounds set. This swap has no creator name.

Stampin_up_hues_of_happiness_carolpaynestamps2

Shelly Gruber used the Potted Geraniums Bundle with Deckled Rectangle Dies and Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper:

Stampin_up_potted_geraniums_carolpaynestamps1

I love how the Geranium Dies allow layering that creates depth!

Stampin_up_potted_geraniums_carolpaynestamps2

The inside sentiment is from Potted Geraniums. I love the look that the Deckled Rectangle Die gives to this layer!

Stampin_up_potted_geraniums_carolpaynestamps3

Barbara Dykhouse also used the Potted Geraniums Bundle. She used the Dots & Spots Die to cut the Basic Black background for a striking contrast to the Sweet Sorbet geranium blooms!

Stampin_up_potted_geraniums_carolpaynestamps4

Soooo pretty!

Stampin_up_potted_geraniums_carolpaynestamps5

Linda Cullen used the Treasured Kindness stamp set (which has no coordinating dies, gasp!) with Artisan Additions Dies, Deckled Rectangle Dies, Design a Daydream Host Designer Paper, Label Me Fancy Punch, and Brushed Metallic Dots.

Stampin_up_treasured_kindness_carolpaynestamps1

She used one of the Artisan Additions Dies to cut the design on the card front.

Stampin_up_treasured_kindness_carolpaynestamps2
Another swap from Barb Dykhouse, this time with the Wisteria Wishes Bundle, Deckled Rectangles, and Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder:

Stampin_up_wisteria_wishes_carolpaynestamps1
Such a pretty addition to the inside of the card!

Stampin_up_wisteria_wishes_carolpaynestamps2

Kathy Morgan also used the Wisteria Wishes Bundle with the Split Card Textures Dies. I don't have these dies, but I think they will be on my next order!

Stampin_up_wisteria_wishes_carolpaynestamps3

This last swap was created with a combination of Wisteria Wishes and Eden Dies. Rhonda Bassler used a striking color combo of Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party for her side-easel card.

Stampin’ Up! Silver Trees For Sale!

Stampin’ Up! Silver Trees For Sale!

Hey there! I've been very busy getting "my ducks in a row" before my daughter has her baby boy, Atreyu. Where she got the name is a story for another day, but as of today she is 41 weeks and 5 days. She has gone over two entire weeks before, and this is baby #six, so we shall see! She will be 42 weeks on the Fourth of July, so maybe we will have a "firecracker baby"?!

Today I have another card to share with you that I created with the Trees for Sale stamp set from the brand-new July/December Mini Catalog that just launched yesterday, and the Tree Lot Dies that I chose as my free gift with a $100 order from the Sale-a-bration Brochure!

Stampin_up_silver_trees_for_sale_carolpaynestamps1

I had an idea of what I wanted this card to look like when finished, so I started with an Evening Evergreen card base, then added a layer of Silver Foil Specialty cut 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".

Stampin_up_silver_trees_for_sale_carolpaynestamps2

After rubbing the 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Evening Evergreen with the embossing buddy found in the NEW Embossing Editions Tool Kit, I stamped the trees, snowflakes, and greeting with Versamark, sprinkled with Silver Embossing Powder, and then used my Heat Tool to make them all raised and shiny before I embossed the layer with the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder and my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

I cut detailed trees from Evening Evergreen using Tree Lot dies, then adhered over the silver embossed trees with tiny dots of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_silver_trees_for_sale_carolpaynestamps3

I turned the layer so the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder gave the card front a look of gently rolling hills. The greeting is from the new Hope & Peace stamp set, also found in the July/December 2022 Mini Catalog on page 40! I added this layer to the card front with dimensionals so I could wrap a 15" length of Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon around it and tie in a pretty knot. I secured the knot with a Mini Glue Dot. I highlighted the greeting with a small Rhinestone on each side.

Stampin_up_silver_trees_for_sale_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I added a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" layer of Smoky Slate card stock, then an embossed Evening Evergreen layer. I finished up the inside with a Basic White 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" layer stamped with another sentiment from Hope & Peace and more tree stamps from the Trees For Sale stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.

The greeting is from the new Hope & Peace stamp set, also found in the July/December 2022 Mini Catalog on page 40! I added this layer to the card front with dimensionals so I could wrap a 15" length of Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon around it and tie in a pretty knot. I secured the knot with a Mini Glue Dot. I highlighted the greeting with a small Rhinestone on each side.

Inside I added a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" layer of Smoky Slate card stock, then an embossed Evening Evergreen layer. I finished up the inside with a Basic White 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" layer stamped with another sentiment from Hope & Peace and more tree stamps from the Trees For Sale stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.

Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Sneak Peek: Trees For Sale!

Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Sneak Peek: Trees For Sale!

Hey there! I can't believe it's time to start thinking about making Christmas cards again, but with the 2022 July/December Mini Catalog starting this coming Friday and thinking about creating cards for my "Christmas in July" card class, I guess it is!

Last Friday I showed you a fall Mini Catalog Sneak with the Hello Harvest bundle of stamps and dies, so today I have a card created with products from the same catalog; Trees For Sale stamps and the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder.

IMG_4358

Before embossing the Shaded Spruce layer I inked the inside of the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder with the White Craft Ink Pad. I love how it gives the trees a look of sprinkled snow! I stamped the largest solid tree with Shaded Spruce ink on Shaded Spruce card stock, then stamped the coordinating detailed tree over it with White Craft ink. After I cut out the tree with a coordinating Tree Lot Die (these dies are free with a $100 order during July or August from the Sale-a-bration brochure), I used a Blending Brush to add White Craft ink to the edges before adding it to the card front with dimensionals.

The string of lights was cut from White Glimmer Paper from the Real Red & White 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper found in the July/December 2022 Mini Catalog. I accented the lights with Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I stamped the greeting from Trees For Sale with Real Red ink on a 3/4" x 3 1/4" strip of Basic White card stock. I cut the ends at parallel points with Paper Snips. I cut Shaded Spruce card stock with a die from the same die set, then used the same blending brush to add white craft ink before adhering to the card with tiny dots of liquid glue.

Inside I stamped another Trees For Sale sentiment with Real Red ink and a couple of the smaller solid trees from the set with Shaded Spruce.
