Stampin’ Up! Cottage Garden Thank-You!

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Garden Thank-You!

Hey there! Today I need to show you the thank-you cards I made for the sweet mommy at our church who is having twins! I like to help a new mommy by making her a stack of thank-you cards, then hand out the envelopes at the shower so the guests can write their name and address on them for her.

I kept the design simple,so I started with the adorable "thank you" from the Cottage Greetings set. I cut a tie from Sweet Lil' Things Designer Paper using a Baby's First Framelit, and then cut a girly little bow from the same paper with a Handpicked Framelit and added the tiniest pearl to the bow center:

Stampin_up_cottage_garden_1 - Copy

One thing when you are combining stamping and embossing, you MUST stamp the words first BEFORE you run the paper through the Big Shot, which is what I did before embossing with the Decorative Dots folder. (wanna know how I know this????? lol!)

These cards came together very quickly, just in time to tuck into the rest of the gift!

You can order the supplies to make your own special baby thank-you's from my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

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

Stampin’ Up! Botanicals For You Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Botanicals For You Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today I'm sharing one of the December Online Card Class cards, a sneak peek of a Sale-a-bration 2016 set, Botanicals For You, as well as new designer paper Botanical Gardens!

Stampin_up_botanicals_for_you_1 - Copy

I love the Botanical Gardens color palette of Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Hello Honey, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, and Whisper White. So lush and tropical!

Stampin_up_botanicals_for_you_2 - Copy

The bold "just for you" is from the Botanicals For You Sale-a-bration set. When you spend $50 on any Stampin' Up! order (before shipping and tax) between January 5th and March 31st, you can choose this set as your free gift!

Stampin_up_botanicals_for_you_3 - Copy

I cut the leafy edge on the designer paper with a Botanical Builder Framelits Die. This set of 14 dies coordinates with the Botanical Blooms stamp set.

Stampin_up_botanicals_for_you_4 - Copy

"ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY " is from Botanicals for You. "Happy Birthday" is from another Occasions Catalog set, You're So Lovely. The flower in the bottom corner was cut with a Botanical Builder Framelit. It cuts two layers from one piece of paper, but keeping them connected in the middle so you can "fluff" out the petals!

Stampin_up_botanicals_for_you_5 - Copy

When your 2016 Occasions Catalog arrives, check out the Botanical Gardens Suite on pages 26 and 27. Order the Botanicals Bundle: Botanical Blooms stamps, Botanical Gardens Designer paper, and Botanical Builder Framelits for $51.75 (a savings of 15% compared to purchasing all three separately) Then choose the Botanicals For You Sale-a-bration set for free!

Until then, there's still lots to choose from the Annual and Holiday Catalogs. Go to my online store to check it all out: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday!

Hey there! I'm working on some projects right now that aren't quite ready to publish, so today I'm sharing with you a couple of cute birthday swaps I received at Dallas OnStage. After an event I always go through my swaps and make a collection of the ones that I'm most impressed with and want to use for a future event. Today's swaps I will be CASEing for my "Stampin' in the New Year" class on January 1st & 2nd!

Kristin Wiggins created this simple party hat card with the Happy Birthday, Everyone set, Cherry on Top Designer Paper, Real Red Pom-Pom Trim, and Silver cording. Her design is so simple but SO CUTE!

Stampin_up_happy_birthday_everyone_1

Jessica Samuels also used Cherry on Top paper for her swap. She used a greeting from Boys Will Be Boys, then used one of the paper-piercing templates from the Eclectic Paper-Piercing templates for the background. A simple star cut with the smallest Stars Framelits, finished off with a single rhinestone gives this card perfection!

Stampin_up_boys_will_be_boys

I can see this layout and paper-piercing technique used for many different occasions, can't you?

All the products used in today's swaps can be purchased in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Blooms Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Blooms Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today is the first day of the 2016 Occasions Catalog Pre-Order. Yay! I'm being very strict with myself and blogging before I start placing my order! lol!

Since today is pre-order day, I thought I would share with you an elegant swap I received from my friend Jennifer Cotton at the Dallas OnStage a few weeks ago. Jennifer was a Founder's Circle attendee in September where Stampin' Up! gave them the Birthday Blooms set, an Occasions Catalog 2016 sneak peek. Jennifer used this set, combining it with Mint Macaron and Whisper White card stock, Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron ink, the Banner Triple Punch, a Rhinestone Basic Jewel, and Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim:

Stampin_up_birthday_blooms_1

This is SUCH an easy-but-elegant card. I'm just DYING to CASE it!

Stampin_up_birthday_blooms_2

Jennifer added just a bit of Mint Macaron sponging to add more color while keeping the card clean-and-simple!

Stampin_up_birthday_blooms_3

This bloom is so gorgeous! I can imagine using  sponges, blender pens, and re-inkers to color, as well as embossing in gold, silver, and black! Emboss-resist, as well as stamping and embossing on vellum are just a few of the techniques I want to try!

Birthday Blooms will definitely be included in my pre-order this morning! yay!

Although stampers cannot begin ordering from the Occasions Catalog until January 5th, there's still plenty to order in my online store from both the Annual and Holiday Catalogs : www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! A Found Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! A Found Swap Day!

Hey there! I am recovering from a nasty UTI. Without being TMI, my doctor said it was a "rip roarin" one. Fortunately, the prescription is working and I'm feeling much better.

Obviously, I've had no motivation to stamp, but I hunted through my pictures and found a some lost cards. Weird, but they must have hidden themselves just so I would have something to share today!

First, Mary Waring used the soon-retiring Square Pillow Box Dies with (in a Bundle to save 15%!) A Little Something stamps. She added Silver Glimmer Paper, Silver Cording (retiring), Whisper White 5/8" Satin ribbon, and colored Rhinestones with a Sharpie to coordinate with the Season of Cheer Designer Paper(retiring):

Stampin_up_a_little_something_2

Next, Nancy Hall used Merry Moments Paper Stack with the Tree Punch, Decorative Dots and Stylish Stripes Folders, Itty Bitty Accents Punches, and Festival of Trees and Embellished Ornaments sets for a gift card holder:

Stampin_up_festival_of_trees_2

Laura Milligan used a Sketched Dots Tag a Bag Gift Bag with the Tree Punch, Christmas Greetings Thinlets, Decorative Label Punch, Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Crumb Cake 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain, and a Tea Lace Doily for a gift card/treat holder:

Stampin_up_christmas_greetings_1

Finally, Susan Berreth used a Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bag for her fold-up gift card holder. She used Versatile Christmas (retiring), Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Paper, Curvy Corner Trio Punch, and Peaceful Pines Framelits:

Stampin_up_versatile_christmas_3

All of these items, while some are retiring, are still available in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
