Stampin’ Up! Fall Review!

Stampin’ Up! Fall Review!

Hey there! My youngest son is moving back home so he can save money while getting his degree to teach High School English, so I am taking this first couple of days of the week to hunker down and get his room ready. You know how after your kids move out you just start using their room as a catch-all? Maybe you didn't do that, but I did and boy now I sure regret it. Everything in there has to either be re-stored somewhere else in my house, given away, or thrown away, and it's a big job!

Since I'm almost caught up with sharing my stamping creations and have no time to make more right now, I've decided to do a "fall review" of some of my favorite projects. I do have a couple of new ones, but they are connected to a Stampin' Up! promotion that starts tomorrow, so I will start sharing those on Tuesday.

To start off, I'm reaching all the way back to August 25th to share my Boho Indigo Embossed Strips Background. I used the Boho Indigo Product Medley and added Whisper White and Misty Moonlight card stock of my own. You can view the full post HERE.

Next, my Beautiful Autumn card from September 2nd. View the entire post HERE.

Next, everybody loved my Peaceful Nativity Diorama card. Get the details & dimensions HERE.

I loved creating this simple Birds & Branches for Christmas card. Get the details HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833026be4113c75200d-450wi

I knew I hadn't played with the Country Home stamp set enough, so I created this card HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833026bde92fdd6200c-450wi

I shrank the diorama dimensions to create this Snow Front Diorama that will fit in a Medium Envelope! Get the dimensions and details HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833026be416923c200d-450wi

That's all for today. I think I will save the rest of my favorites for another day. If you want to see more, you can always scroll through my blog and decide for yourself which ones are your favorites. I plan to be back tomorrow with a new creation, so be sure to come back!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 1st!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 1st!

Hey there! Hope you weren't too messed up by the "falling back" we did last night. I like "falling back" in the fall a lot better than "falling forward" in the spring! Which one do you like better?

Today I'm starting off with the tri-fold card by Kathy Johnson with the Dove of Hope Bundle:

Stampin_up_dove_of_hope_carolpaynestamps1

Kathy also used a die from the World Map dies on the center fold:

Stampin_up_dove_of_hope_carolpaynestamps2

The third fold:

Stampin_up_dove_of_hope_carolpaynestamps3

Next, Audra Moncur used the Freezin' Fun Bundle for her creation:

Stampin_up_freezin_fun_carolpaynestamps1

Barb Nagle used the Have a Hoot bundle  to create a cute gift card holder:

Stampin_up_have_a_hoot_carolpaynestamps1

Laura Barto used the In the Pines Bundle with Plaid Tidings Designer to create her warm & elegant card:

Stampin_up_in_the_pines_carolpaynestamps1

Janet Johnson Used the Evergreen 3D embossing folder, Brushed Metallic Card Stock, and the Merry Moose Bundle for her creation:

Stampin_up_merry_moose_carolpaynestamps1

Inside. (not all swaps are stamped on the inside, gasp!)

Stampin_up_merry_moose_carolpaynestamps2

Rhonda Bassler used the Peaceful nativity Bundle and the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder for her awesome Christmas card!

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity_carolpaynestamps1

Jan Rodrian used the Snow Wonder Bundle, Evergreen 3D embossing folder, and Snow Time Dies:

Stampin_up_snow_wonder_carolpaynestamps1

Finally, Ruth Bingle combined the Poinsettia Petals Bundle with Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper for her lovely card:

Stampin_up_poinsettia_petals_carolpaynestamps1

She cut gold "berries" with Poinsettia Dies to coordinate with the Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon. She cut the poinsettia from the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper and added a Beaded Pearl to the center.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Nativity Starlight!

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Nativity Starlight!

Hey there! I created my "starlight" card today with Peaceful Nativity once again, and used Trimming The Town Designer Series Paper, which is another one of the packs on sale this month for 15% off!

Stampin_up_trimming_the_town_starlight_circle_carolpaynestamps2

I cut the circle mat, star, and side strips from Champagne Foil.

Stampin_up_trimming_the_town_starlight_circle_carolpaynestamps3

I punched the ends of the greeting with the Banners Pick-a-Punch.

Stampin_up_trimming_the_town_starlight_circle_carolpaynestamps5

Inside:

Stampin_up_trimming_the_town_starlight_circle_carolpaynestamps7

Finally, a tutorial for the Starlight Technique!

Cut Whisper White with a Layering Circle Die. Adhere it to your grid sheet with a tiny bit of adhesive on the back. Line up the center of the circle with the bold lines of the grid.

Starlight circle 1

Lay the edge of a Post-it note from the top center to the corner of one of the grid squares. Use a sponge dauber to lightly sponge Misty Moonlight ink along the edge of the Post-it.

Starlight circle 2-1

Move the post-it down two squares on the grid and sponge again.

Starlight circle 5

Continue moving the post-it down one square, pivoting the top of the post-it from the same spot a the top of the circle. You may need to dab off the excess of Misty Moonlight ink before sponging along the post-it edge.

Starlight circle 8

It's now ready to stamp with Peaceful Nativity!

Stampin’ Up! Parisian Flourish Nativity!

Stampin’ Up! Parisian Flourish Nativity!

Hey there! Today's card was created with the Peaceful Nativity Bundle.  I found an old swap while I was cleaning the other day and  decided to re-create with new colors, stamps, and accessories:

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity2

I used Blackberry Bliss for my card base and the strip I embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. After embossing I brayered over the embossed images with White Craft Ink. I decided the white was overpowering the design, so I removed some of the ink from the raised areas by lightly swiping with a baby wipe. I just had to let it dry for a bit before adding any adhesive. I really like the look!

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity3

After gold heat-embossing the Holy Family on Shimmery White, I punched with the Label Me Lovely Punch. I punched a second label from gold Brushed Metallic card stock, cut it in half, to add to the back of the label. I cut the star from the same gold Brushed Metallic with a Nativity Die.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity4

I gold heat-embossed the greeting and added three Gilded Gems.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity5

Here's a paper-saving trick: I conserved my gold Brushed Metallic card stock by cutting 1/2" strips the length I needed to adhere to the edges of the front embossed strip and to the inside layer!

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity6

Dimensions:

Blackberry Bliss card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded 4 1/4"  embossed strip: 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Brushed Metallic (gold) strips:   1/2" x 5 1/2" (need 2 front), 1/2" x 4 3/4" (need 2 inside)  to punch label:  3" x 3" to cut star: scrap
