Stampin’ Up! Sky Is the Limit!

Posted on December 18, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Christmas is only a week away! eeek! I'm not ready, (I know you are NOT shocked, lol!) but I'm working on it. My kids and grandkids all come to stay with us during Christmas, at least they are here for Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning, so I'm working on cleaning up those areas of "stuff" that accumulates during the year. I've heard of a non-clutter system called "one touch" that I'm thinking about trying, but you know, things all have to have a place of their own before you can do that!

Today's card is another one I created with the Sky Is The Limit Sale-a-bration set:

I started with a base of Early Espresso, then added layers of Soft Sky, Very Vanilla, and Going Places (coming on Jan. 5th in the Occasions Catalog!) Designer Series Paper. I embossed the Soft Sky and Going Places layers with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions folder. I added a Silver Mini brad to the center of the propeller for more depth.

I punched the greeting from Sky Is the Limit with the Note Tag Punch, and wrapped a couple of lengths of Smoky Slate Baker's Twine around the layers. I added a single Silver Basic Button to finish it all off.

Inside is basic stamping with Early Espresso, Soft Sky, and Memento Tuxedo Black. I lined the envelope with Going Places Designer Paper too!

January 5th will be here before we know it! I can't wait!

Stampin’ Up! Sky is the Limit for December Online Class!

Posted on December 15, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there. I'm having internet issues today, so I'm at Liam's house, which, although the internet signal is slow and unreliable, is better than the internet at my house, which is less than zero.

Today's project is the third and final card for the December Online Class. I immediately wanted to use the Sky Is the Limit set from the Sale-a-bration Brochure as soon as I spied it. I especially wanted to get busy with it because it is a limited edition set that will only be available until February 15!

I found the new Sunburst Thinlet die in the Occasions catalog and knew I had to pair it up with the airplane. After using the "inlaid embossing" technique with the Elegant Dots folder, I did a little bit of "fancy cutting" with my Paper Snips and then added a Neutrals Candy Dot to the propeller.

I stamped the airplane with Sahara Sand first, stamped the greeting with Early Espresso, then punched with the Tree Builder Punch, which make perfect clouds!

I did the same after stamping the exhaust-clouds, also with Sahara Sand.

All of the greetings used today are from the Sky Is the Limit set.

The products I used today will be available to order on January 5th, but there's lots of great deals still available in the new Weekly Deals and Year End Sale. You can check it all out when you click on the "Shop Now" tab in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
