Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day The Newborn King and a Park Lane Purse for Alisa!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day The Newborn King and a Park Lane Purse for Alisa!

Hey there! It's Sunday! Today our family is celebrating Alisa's birthday! yay!

Today's cards are made with The Newborn King set in the Holiday Catalog.

First, Phyllis Shepherd used Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Embossing Powder for her main image. She tied a bit of Linen Thread around a fold of Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon to dangle an All is Calm Snowflake Embellishment.

Next, Glenda Travelstead used the Spotlighting technique for the manger scene she beautifully colored and shaded. The punched circle of Champagne Glimmer paper is the perfect finishing touch!

Finally, Genevieve Ko used Back to Black Designer and Silver Glimmer Paper to highlight the Manger scene for a timeless-yet-contemporary look:

This year I have been trying to make a special one-of-a-kind card for each of my children and grandbabies for their birthday. Alisa loves to design and sew fabric purses, so here's my attempt to create a purse for her with my favorite crafting medium:

Stampin_up_park_lane_for_alisa_1

After I punched the Park Lane Designer Paper with the Postage Stamp Punch, I adhered them to my Blackberry Bliss base, then embossing with the Honeycomb folder. I colored the Very Vintage Designer Button with my Rich Razzleberry Blendability marker, then tied a bit of Gold 1/8" Ribbon through the holes before adhering with a glue dot.

Greeting and sentiment are easy-peasy with phrases from Petite Pairs!

Stampin_up_pure_gumption_1 - Copy

I created the kite by punching one straight pennant from the Petite Pennants Builder Punch and one triangle from the triangle punch from Silver Glimmer Paper. I added narrow strips of Basic Black cardstock for the struts of the kite, White Baker's Twine for the kite string, and tiny Silver Glimmer hearts punched with the Owl Builder Punch.

Stampin_up_pure_gumption_2 - Copy

I used my custom-made cloud embossing plate for the clouds. You can see how to make your own cloud plate HERE. I sponged my clouds with Soft Sky ink.

The greeting is from Pure Gumption, stamped in Jet Black StazOn ink and cut out with a Word Bubbles Framelit.

Inside is stamped very straighforward with more stamps from the same set. Pure Gumption is a one-stop stamp set for graduation/congratulations!

Stampin’ Up! Hello, Sailor!

Stampin’ Up! Hello, Sailor!

Hey there! So far I haven't gotten Mark's bug, so keep your fingers crossed for me that I don't, ok? Mark took me to a really good Phillips, Craig & Dean concert at the Marion Civic Center on Friday night. I was really grateful to not be sick and have to miss it!

Thursday night I stamped with a fun group of women at Theresa McGhee's house in Weast Frankfort, IL. She had hot chocolate, hot apple cider, hot coffee, and a array of yummies for us to snack on while we stamped. Theresa requested masculine cards, so I created this one for her group using the new Occasions Catalog set, Hello, Sailor!

Stampin_up_hello_sailor_1

We used the Circle Card Thinlet Die, You're Amazing stamp set for the greeting on this side of the "flip", High Tide Designer Paper (also from the Occasions Catalog), Smoky Slate cardstock and ink, Midnight Muse cardstock and ink, and Silver Glimmer Paper-punched stars! The Smoky Slate stamped anchors are also from Hello, Sailor.

Stampin_up_hello_sailor_2

Here's the "flip" side, stamped with "you're my best mate" from Hello, Sailor.

In case you didn't know, here's how to cut out the curve on the striped section of designer paper:

Framelit curve cutting

The dimensions for the designer paper is 1 3/4" x 5 1/4". Place the paper inside the frame section of the thinlet card die as shown. You will need to "eyeball" the eveness of all sides till it suits you. Then crank through the Big Shot. Your piece will then be ready to apply to your card section!

That's all for now. Today I have a Stamp Camp for Cindy Lisk at her house in Nashville, IL. Yay!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Hexagon Dahlia Fold for Christmas!

Stampin’ Up! Hexagon Dahlia Fold for Christmas!

Hey there! I still have a couple of cards from my weekend class to share. Today's card features a new fancy-fold I just learned using the Hexagon Punch!

Stampin_up_winterfrost_hexagon_dahlia_fold1

I decided to use Winter Frost Designer Paper with Pool Party, Island Indigo, and Whisper White cardstock. I embossed a Pool Party layer with the Perfect Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder. I silver heat-embossed the "merry" from Snowflake Soiree, then cut it out with an Ovals Collection Framelit and matted it on another Ovals Collection Framelit-cut Island Indigo layer.

For the Hexagon Dahlia Fold I used the Simply Scored Scoring Boad and Tool. It was actually pretty easy to score the two lines needed to fold because the Hexagons have built-in corners to know where to line up to do my scoring!

003

After I scored my two lines, I folded my paper along them, then creased them sharply with my Bone Folder. After adhering all 6 of my folded hexagons to a 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" Island Indigo square, I pierced a hole in the center with my Paper-Piercing Tool and inserted a Silver Glimmer Brad from the Basics pack. I then adhered to a 3" x 3" square of Silver Glimmer paper. I added a wrap and bow of 1/8" Silver Ribbon for my finishing touch!

Stampin_up_winterfrost_hexagon_dahlia_fold2

I silver heat-embossed a phrase from Christmas Messages for the inside, and added a 1/2" strip of coordinating Winter Frost paper to pull the inside & outside together.

That's all for now. Today's the last day of this Weekly Deal:

You can still go to my Online Store today to get them! www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
