Stampin’ Up! Rustic Garden Birdhouses Ornament and One More!

Posted on October 30, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I thought I was done making Stitched Stars Ornaments to share with you, but I decided to make one more using Garden Birdhouses again with a "rustic" look, then I found one more I had made with the Stars Are Shining that I hadn't shared yet, so here we are! lol!

I used Early Espresso and In Good Taste Designer Paper for the stars base, then stamped the birdhouse on Crumb Cake with Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin' Blends. Hand-cut with Paper Snips, I think when I make a bunch of these for the craft fair I will just stamp them on wood-grain designer paper (lighter than the base) to save time. I used strokes of Color Lifter to give this one a bit of a wood-grain look. I also added Clear Wink of Stella to all of the Sprig-punched Mossy Meadow for some shine.

On the back I added a sentiment from Words of Cheer, double-punched with the Tailored Tag to make it a bit narrower.

This Misty Moonlight Stitched Stars Ornament features The Stars Are Shining stamp set silver heat-embossed!

Punching out one of the stars with the Starlit Punch and adding Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Silver Swirls adds more sparkle.

The silver heat embossed sentiment is straight from The Stars Are Shining stamp set!

Whew! Finally done! Come back tomorrow for a calendar idea!

Stampin’ Up! Misty Moonlight Stitched Stars!

Posted on October 26, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again today with a few more Stitched Stars Christmas Ornaments! I have more ideas rolling around in my head, but I had Alisa's girls here for a big chunk of the day so I was only able to create while Avara was napping. After they left I worked for a little while but then finished up a supper I was taking to Logan & Faith. Every time one of my kid's families has Covid I take them a supper one night while they are in quarantine.

My ornaments today are very similar to the one's I shared yesterday, but I switched to Misty Moonlight and Silver for my colors. I also have one lone ornament to share at the end that is different. You'll see!

I used Misty Moonlight card stock and 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper along with the Silver heat embossing and Silver Foil to cut the swirls. "Joy to the World" from Stars Are Shining.

I did the same omitting of some of the phrases to get the sentiments to fit. "Glory to God" from Great Tidings.

"Sending Peace & Joy" from Great Tidings.

On the backs of all of these I embossed "The Stars Are Shining Brightly" from Stars Are Shining.

Here's the placement for the Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals I use to adhere the Simply Elegant Trim ornament hanger and to adhere the backing star to the ornaments.

My final ornament for today was created with the Knit Together Bundle!

I adhered an adhesive sheet to the back of the Misty Moonlight card stock before cutting with the Knit Sweater dies. This made adhering the tiny pieces to the Basic White star a snap! "CHRISTMAS" is from the Bright Baubles stamp set.

I am impressed with how realistic the Knit Together stamped image looks!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Elegant Stitched Stars!

Posted on October 25, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a set of ornaments I created with the Stitched Stars dies and sentiments from Great Tidings and Stars Are Shining:

This sentiment from Stars Are Shining fits perfectly inside this star! I heat embossed with copper powder.

The middle star layer is cut from a print from the Simply Elegant Designer Paper. This sentiment is a partial of "Glory to God in the Highest" from Great Tidings.

"Sending Peace & Joy" has the words "to you" omitted to fit the star.

I added copper foil swirls to each one, cut with a Stitched Stars die.

The die cuts the full swirl, which I cut in half and then added between the layers with glue dots.

I backed each ornament with a full star of copper foil.

Stampin’ Up! Great Tidings!

Posted on October 23, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have the 8th card that we are making today and next Saturday at my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack, Great Tidings!

All of the sentiments and images were stamped on the Kraft Specialty Paper before it was embossed with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder.

These sentiments are from Great Tidings.

This sentiment is from the Stars Are Shining stamp set and is also the name of the music represented by the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder!

I did not emboss this panel so there would be signature room!

I added strips of Blackberry Beauty Specialty paper to the opposite sides of the narrow panels. This paper is Blackberry Bliss, just like the card base and ink, but is gold embossed. I also added several Gilded Gems to highlight the sentiments and the wise men's gifts for the Christ Child.

This card will fold up and fit inside a medium envelope just like a regular card.

I think this card turned out to be my favorite of all of the Stamp-a-Stack cards!

Supplies to order:

Great Tidings Bundle [156382] $43.00	Great Tidings Cling Stamp Set [156347] $20.00	Wise Men Tidings Dies [156381] $28.00
Stars Are Shining Bundle (English) [156780] $30.50	Stars Are Shining Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [156345] $16.00	Starlit Punch [156380] $18.00

Sunday Swap day October 10th!

Posted on October 10, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again with a Sunday Swap Day that is actually ON Sunday! My life has been so incredibly hectic lately, I feel like I'm not getting anything done and things are piling up on me. I am going to have this coming week off from babysitting Fiona due to her family is now in quarantine. No one is terribly sick, for which I am thankful, but I am accumulating a long list of things that I hope to accomplish this week! If I can get half of it done I will be happy!

To start of my share today I have this gorgeous Bright Baubles creation by Meg Holland:

She used adhesive sheets to keep track of all of the pieces and to make it simpler to adhere them inside the tree frame.

Next, Sharon Tong-Robinson also used Bright Baubles to create a fun-fold Christmas card.

The Stitched Rectangle dies make this fun-fold so much easier to make!

There are four intricate design dies in the Bright Baubles bundle, including this one used by Jan Rodrain!

Karen Kurz used both the Christmas Season and Christmas to Remember stamp sets with Painted Christmas Designer paper for her traditionally "Christmas-y" card!

Finally, this Stars Are Shining Bundle card arrived with no creator's name attached.
