Stampin’ Up! Year in Review for a Happy New Year!

Posted on January 1, 2018 by Carol Payne

IHey there and Happy 2018! I have my "Stampin' in the New Year" Birthday Card Stamp a Stack starting this morning, but before everyone arrives I want to finish up my "year in review" for 2017. Today I'm starting with July 2017 and working my way to the end of the year showcasing my favorite creations from the year!

First, I combined the Eastern Medallions Thinlets Dies with the Daisy Delight stamp set to create this bold-but-soft thank you card. Here's the link to the July 3rd post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-eastern-medallions-daisy-delight.html

I stamped a flock of Fabulous Flamingos for this blog post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-a-flock-of-fabulous-flamingos.html

This Swirly Bird Christmas card was my favorite one we made at my Christmas in July class! Check it out here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-swirly-bird-christmas.html

Another favorite Christmas card I created was with the Carols of Christmas set. This set is retiring and will no longer be available after tomorrow! Here's the blog post link: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-carols-of-christmas.html

I CASED this card from an old swap using the Grown with Love Bundle. See the full post HERE.

I used Sheltering Tree with the Sheet Music background stamp to create the sympathy card found HERE.

I combined High Tide with the Colorful Seasons Bundle to create the Double z-Fold card in this blog post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/08/stampin-up-colorful-seasons-double-z-fold.html

In August I had the privilege of presenting at a stamping meeting of demonstrators in Champaign, IL. This ornament was my last-minute inspiration, Night in Bethlehem with the Cracked Glass technique! Read all about it HERE.

A favorite-but-retiring bundle from the Holiday Catalog, Christmas Quilt! I used Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper, also retiring January 2nd, with the Cat Punch (not retiring) to create this easel card. Find more details HERE.

I explored an oldie-but-goodie technique, Faux Silk, in THIS POST with the Count My Blessings set:

I used the Painted Harvest set (which is not retiring) to create this adorable hedgehog Christmas card. Get all of the info here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/10/stampin-up-painted-harvest-christmas-hedgehog.html

Smitten Mittens is another retiring bundle I had fun playing with! Check out one of the three cards I created with this set HERE.

As you have probably figured out by now, I love techniques! I used the Direct Stamping on your embossing folder technique for this card with the retiring Season Like Christmas set. Check it all out here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/11/stampin-up-woodland-season-like-christmas.html

I also like trying new folds, like the bridge fold I used with this card using the Season Like Christmas set: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/12/stampin-up-season-like-christmas-bridge-fold.html

Finally, my newest favorite set, Petal Palette. We will be making this card today at my Stampin' In the New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack. Go HERE for more details.

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens, Part 3!

Posted on October 30, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm so excited to share with you my favorite Smitten Mittens card so far!

These mittens are so inspiring, they make me think of warm and snuggly sweaters, so I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla with the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder and sponged it with Crumb Cake ink to create the background for the mittens.

I cut out an intricate mitten from both Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla, then backed each with the contrasting color. I added a couple of threads pulled from 5/8" Burlap Ribbon to "hang" them on the card.

I love the bold but elegant greeting from Merry Misteltoe, stamped with Cherry Cobbler on the Very Vanilla banner. I cut the Very Vanilla strip and then the Cherry Cobbler one a 1/4" longer before punching both with the Banner Triple Punch. I added a Hearts & Stars Element with liquid glue.

The inside greeting is also from Merry Misteltoe.

I created a mitten stencil by cutting a scrap piece of card stock with the die, then sponging with Cherry Cobbler ink. There are so many things you can do with die and framelits, it's crazy awesome!

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens, My Second Creation!

Posted on October 28, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Yesterday was such a busy day I never had a chance to blog! I had some urgent errands to run, as well as the first session of my Stamptober Christmas Card Class! The second session is today and starts very soon!

Today's card is the second I created while playing with the Smitten Mittens bundle. This time I used Pool Party, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, and a strip of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to create this:

I love the look of Whisper White with Crumb Cake and Pool Party! So snowy! I heat embossed the sentiment mitten with white embossing powder on Pool Party, then cut out with the open mitten die from the Many Mittens Framelits. I cut a companion mitten, also from Pool Party, with the knit-looking Many Mittens framelit.

I added a piece of Pool Party Solid Baker's Twine over some Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon, securing a tiny bow with a glue dot.

After embossing the layer with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, I colored a single pearl with my Pool Party Stampin' Blends marker. These alcohol markers will be available to order starting November 1st! You can add Stampin' Up! color to almost anything with these, in addition to coloring like a pro!

Inside I stamped the Smitten Mittens sentiment with Bermuda Bay ink so it would stand out just a bit more from the Pool Party stamped snowflakes.

There! Just in time for my class to start! Come back tomorrow for Sunday Swap Day, and then Monday I will be sharing another Smitten Mitten creation!

Stampin’ Up! Smitten Mittens!

Posted on October 26, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a chance to play with the Smitten Mittens Bundle a few days ago. It's an adorable set! I paired it with Be Merry Designer Series Paper, Lots of Labels Framelits, and the Pretty Label Punch to create this as my "warm-up" card:

The Many Mittens Framelits made it easy to cut out the tiny mittens! I added a thread pulled from a piece of burlap ribbon with a glue dot on the back of each mitten, and added a Hearts & Stars Element heart with a glue dot for a homespun look. To add the tiny heart to the "smitten" "i", I inked the stamp with Garden Green ink, then rubbed the green off the heart that dots the i. After stamping, I added the heart back in with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker.

The inside sentiment and snowflakes are all included in the Smitten Mittens set! I loved this set when I saw it in the Holiday Catalog but hesitated to order it for some strange reason. I'm so glad I didn't skip this set!

This is NOT the only card I created with Smitten Mittens, so be sure to check back tomorrow for another Smitten Mitten creation!
