Stampin’ Up! Catalog Year In Review!

Posted on May 28, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Since the new catalog starts on Wednesday (only five more sleeps!) and the Retiring List of Stamps and Accessories still has quite a bit of fun stuff available, I thought we'd take a walk down memory lane to see some favorites from the past year!

The Build a Birthday stamp set will be in the new catalog, but Cherry on Top paper and Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, with the flower punch used on this card, are retiring and still orderable!

You can view the full post with another Build a Birthday sample HERE.

Blended Bloom and Big News are on the Retiring List at a 25% discount! View the original post HERE.

I love making Slider cards, and this one with retiring Kind Koala, A Dozen Thoughts, and Honeycomb Textured Impressions Folder is one of my favorites!

View the original post with more pics HERE.

Kind Koala and A Dozen Thoughs are still available, and the Honeycomb folder is discounted 30%!

This card also has three retiring products: Timeless Elegance Designer Paper (sold out), Striped Scallop Thinlets Die(still available) and Greetings Thinlets (sold out). View the original post HERE.

As I started going through my blog posts of the past year, I realized it will take more than one post to show you all of my favorites! Be sure to come back tomorrow for another installment!

My final favorite for today uses Serene Silhouettes, Summer Silhouettes, and World of Dreams, ALL THREE RETIRING! View the original post HERE.

The clear mount version of World of Dreams is sold out, but all the rest are still available!

Stampin’ Up! Painter’s Palette Rip and Flip!

Posted on May 27, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I found a great little card created by one of my sister Mediterranean Achiever's blog hoppers, Georgia Giguere, It's a simple technique called "Rip and Flip". To view her technique video and take the the hop, click on her name. This was our Mam's Team Meeting Make & Take Monday night!

We used the same print from the Painter's Palette Designer Series Paper Stack for our rip & flip, but this technique will work with just about any designer paper that you love the prints on both sides!

A couple of slight differences, not necessarily improvements, but just differences of my card: I used a slightly larger pair of Layering Squares Framelit dies to cut and frame the greeting, added a few more splashes of color to the greeting, and used a piece of Painter's Palette Designer Washi Tape over the the line where the two layers meet. I love using coordinating products when I can!

Inside we stamped more Painter's Palette with the same inks used on the outside greeting: Archival Basic Black, Sweet Sugarplum, Emerald Envy, and Peekaboo Peach. All of these colors, plus the Painter's Palette stamp set and the Layering Squares Framelits, will be available to order on June 1st, which is only FIVE sleeps away! yay!

Of course, I had to stamp the Very Vanilla envelope, which is the neutral color in the Painter's Palette paper, to match the card!

While you are waiting to start ordering from the new catalog, be sure to check out what's still orderable from the Retiring List! You can find it in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Remember while shopping:

All orders of any amount (except Online Class Orders) will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail.

NOTE!!!!!! YOU CAN ONLY RECEIVE THIS CLASS AS YOUR GIFT FROM ME WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER BY MAY 31st! After May 31st, a new class will be posted for June!

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

Stampin’ Up! Pop of Paradise Uneven Fold Card!

Posted on May 26, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I played with a new (to me) fun fold I'd been seeing online, so I decided to try one! The Pop of Paradise stamps and Pop of Pink Specialty Paper was still on my crafting desk, so I used them again to create this uneven fold card:

This card gives you lots of sections to embellish; with plenty of room for sentiments!

Card base dimensions: 5 1/2" x 11", scored at 1 1/2", 3", 5 1/2", and 8". Fold accordian-style (Mountain, Valley, Mountain, Valley).

Designer paper and card stock layers dimensions: 1 1/4" x 5 1/4"- need two, 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" – need two, 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" – need one

I gold-heat embossed the pineapple, then hand-cut it with Paper Snips. Did you know? If you leave a little bit of card stock bordering the image it will look much smoother and even than if you cut flush with the image and don't leave a border. The border allows your eye to ignore imperfections in the cut edge! Pretty cool!

I stamped "happy birthday to you" from Circle of Spring with Melon Mambo ink to make it "pop" against all of the gold embossing and black I've used. I gold heat-embossed the "thinking of you" from Pop of Paradise, then cut with one of the new Sweet & Sassy Framelits.

I love stamping, embossing, and cutting out the flamingo, she's just so CUTE!!!! I used two sentiments from the new Love & Affection set to finish off the final card sections.

When folded, the card will easily fit inside a Medium Whisper White envelope, which has been stamped to match the card, of course!

Just 6 more sleeps until the new catalog! Haven't checked out the Retiring List yet? You can easily find it in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’Up! Pop of Paradise Treat Bag!

Posted on May 25, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been seeing these treat bags around online for awhile, so I finally tried my hand at one! They are actually pretty easy, and roomy! I used the Pop of Paradise stamp set and Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Paper to embellish this one I created with an 5 1/2" x 11" piece of Basic Black card stock:

Gold embossing goes perfectly with the Melon Mambo flamingo! I embossed the leaves with clear powder on a Gold Foil Sheet, then hand-cut with Paper Snips. The "Thank You" banner is also gold embossed, but it looks quite different on Whisper White card stock.

Side view. The container area of this bag is 2" x 4 1/2", so it can hold quite a bit!

Lots of fancy-cutting with this one, but it was worth it!

I clear heat-embossed the pineapple stamp on Melon Mambo card stock, then cut a heart from the pineapple design with a new Sweet & Sassy heart framelit die. I used this as the closure for the bag by adhering with a couple of dimensionals to the front.

I adhered the 1/8" Gold Taffeta closure loop under the designer paper layer on the back side of the bag.

You will be able to order the Pop of Paradise and Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Paper beginning on June 1st! yay!

Stampin’ Up! Pop of Paradise!

Posted on May 24, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy Tuesday! Today I have a Z-fold card that I created with the new Pop of Paradise stamp set and Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Paper:

Flamingos! I've never been much of a flamingo fan, but the "Pop of Pink" product suite in the new Annual Catalog has really changed my mind!

If it's not stamped with Melon Mambo Classic ink, I've embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder! "A VERY special day" was gold embossed on Melon Mambo, punched twice with the Decorative Label Punch and then mounted on another full Basic Black Decorative Label. I flanked the phrase with a couple of rhinestones for a bit more bling!

There are a BUNCH of new framelits and thinlets dies to coordinate with new stamp sets in the new catalog, but unfortunately none to cut out the flamingo or the pineapple. HOWEVER, it was a snap to cut them both with my Paper Snips Scissors! I used little pieces of Pop of Pink paper for the background.

I embossed the center pineapple with gold, then stamped and cut out a "mask" from a Post-It Note to cover before stamping the pineapples to look like they are sitting behind the first one. The gold-embossed phrase is from Love & Affection, another new stamp set from the 2016/2017 Annual Catalog!

"happy birthday" is from Birthday Blossoms, a carry-over set from the current catalog. I love lining my envelopes with coordinating designer paper, don't you?

The new catalog goes live ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! I can hardly believe it! whoo hoo!

Until then, be sure to check out what's still available on the Retiring Stamps & Accessories List! You can view & order in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Be sure to add some card stock to your order. Card stock prices in the new catalog are going UP!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on May 22, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is Sunday, which means church and time to share some swaps! yay!

Most of today's swaps I received at OnStage Live in Salt Lake City in April, and unless I note the creator, I don't know who they are.

First, a bright and cheery creation using the Occasions Catalog set, Apple of My Eye. It's hard to see in the picture, but each fruit slice has been embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (which has now sold out from the Retiring List)

Next, a combination of Whisper White, Mint Macaron, a Bold Butterfly and Butterflies Framelit, and the retiring Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and And Many More stamp set:

This swap using the Wild About Flowers set, Brick Wall folder, and Greatest Greeting set are ALL carrying over to the new catalog! yay!

Finally, Carol Slack used the Sassy Salutations set with the Confetti Textured Impressions Folder along with a bit of Punch Art for her graduation card:

Carol used the streamer image from Celebrate Today to create the graduation tassel. She attached it to the grad cap with a retiring Silver 1/8" brad.

Inside Carol used a phrase from the retiring Fabulous Four set:

Just a little over a week left of the Retiring List! Review the list and make your selections by ordering in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Also remember that the price of all card stock is increasing on June 1st, so be sure to stock up while you can still get your favorite colors at the lower price!
