Stampin’ Up! Gift Card Holders Day #4!

Stampin’ Up! Gift Card Holders Day #4!

Hey there! Today we are continuing my series of gift card holder swaps I've received this year!

First this one, completely disguised as a full card, was created by Jenna Raby using the Carols of Christmas stamp set, Holly Textured Impressions folder, Rhinestones, Cherry Cobbler and Emerald Envy.

Stampin_up_carols_of_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

She colored the rhinestones with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends marker.

The real surprise is when you open the card to reveal the pocket created by the Be Merry Designer Series Paper.

Stampin_up_christmas_pines_carolpaynestamps1

It is disguised by the Lovely Laurel Thinlets-cut Emerald Envy wreath that pops out at you! Love it!

Mary Waring used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlet Die and Christmas Quilt 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper to create this really poppin' gift card holder:

Stampin_up_tags_&_trimmings_carolpaynestamps1

She used the Everyday Label Punch to frame the Tags & Trimmings Greeting, then layered it on a silver Metallic Foil Doily. She added Silver Glimmer stars cut with a Mini Treat Bag Thinlet die. She finished the gift card holder portion with a bit of Silver Mini Tinsel Trim.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Gift Card Holders!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Gift Card Holders!

Hey there! The November theme of the monthly swap I participate in was punch art and/or gift card holders, and oh my, did everyone really go all out!

I've divided them up into a few day's worth of ideas, so be prepared to be WOW'd!

This first swap combines the Seasonal Chums stamp set with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for a really cute and easy gift card holder:

Stampin_up_seasonal_chums_carolpaynestamps1

Whisper White and the Pool Party wintry print from the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper pack look perfectly "wintry"! The snowman has been colored with Stampin' Write Markers, then punched with the 2 1/4" Circle Punch. The edges are sponged with Pool Party ink.

Stampin_up_seasonal_chums_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Cindy Ewertz used the Tags & Trimmings set with Layering Circle Framelits to create a classy gift card holder!

Stampin_up_tags_and_trimmings_carolpaynestamps1

Just pull up the Whisper White layer to reveal the sentiment. This is where you would attach the gift card with glue dots.

Tags & Trimmings and the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (black & white plaid) are both retiring from the Holiday Catalog. You need to order by January 2nd, before they are gone!

Stampin_up_tags_and_trimmings_carolpaynestamps2

I love the Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon she added. Just perfect! This ribbon is in the Annual Catalog, so you can still order it in January!

Stampin_up_tags_and_trimmings_carolpaynestamps3

Finally,  nobody does Clean & Simple quite like Tamie Ackerson. Tamie combined the Watercolor Christmas set with Old Olive-striped Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper for her gift card holder. With just a hint of Cherry Cobbler framing the greeting, it's a Christmas Classic Combo!

Stampin_up_watercolor_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

 She created the gift card pocket by simply punching a piece of designer paper with a circle punch before adhering to the opening flap.

Stampin_up_watercolor_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

Finally, she used a sentiment from Christmas Quilt (Also retiring! Hurry! Order this one and the matching Quilt Builder Framelits Dies before they are gone!) and a Watercolor Christmas image to finish the inside.

Later today I will be back to post my project for the Remarkable InkBig Blog Hop. We will be sharing Sneak Peeks from the upcoming Occasions Catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Winter Wonder Stepped Up!

Stampin’ Up! Winter Wonder Stepped Up!

Hey there! Christmas. I love the season and the reason, but this year seems to be particularly hard to keep up with everything.

For my post today I'm sharing the final card I created for the December Creative Crew Challenge "Winter Wonderland". First I created the simple card I shared with you HERE, and then I created another, similar but stepped-up with more layers and embellishments:

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the Pool Party layer with the snowflake image from Tags & Trimmings with Soft Sky ink before embossing with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Folder.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

I added a layer of Whisper White between the Dapper Denim card base and Pool Party embossed layer for a bit of pop!

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

I sponged the raised embossed lines lightly with Pool Party and added a single pearl to the center.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

I used a Star of Light sentiment, cut with a Stitched Shapes framelit and backed with a scalloped Dapper Denim oval cut with a Layering Ovals framelit.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps5

 There's an Occasions Catalog Sneak Peek on this card. See that Whisper White 1/4" Organza Ribbon? You will be able to order a roll of it for yourself on January 3rd!

Inside I used another Star of Light sentiment and stamped more Tags & Trimmings snowflakes. Extra sponging on the edges with Soft Sky ink gives this card a soft look.

Stampin’ Up! Season Like Christmas Bridge Fold!

Stampin’ Up! Season Like Christmas Bridge Fold!

Hey there! I haven't been posting here as often as I would like, but you know how crazy December can be! I'm still stamping, and not without things to share, so bear with me, I will be posting as often as I can!

Today I have another project from my December group of creations for the December Creative Crew at Splitcoaststampers. This card is a bit of a "step-up" from my last post with based on the inspiration photo. I used the bridge-fold technique  with Versamark Resist:

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_bridge_carolpaynestamps1

The Bridge Fold is fun because it easily stands up for display, but also folds flat for mailing.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_bridge_carolpaynestamps2

Versamark Resist is very similar to the Crayon Resist technique I used on my last Creative Crew project. I stamped the more open tree image from Season Like Christmas with Dapper Denim ink first, then stamped with the more solid image over the first with Versamark ink. I let the Versamark dry for a bit (or you can speed up the drying time with a Heat Tool.) I added 3/4" punched circle for the moon, then used a sponge brayer to add Smoky Slate ink over the entire piece for a great moonlight look. I stamped snowflakes from Tags & Trimmings with Smoky Slate ink before I removed the mask. Smoky Slate stamped shows up darker than Smoky Slate applied with a Sponge Brayer! I stamped a sentiment from Star of Light with Basic Black ink.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_bridge_carolpaynestamps3

I used Glossy card stock again for the snowy scene and the greeting strip on the bridge. As you can see with the "Merry Christmas" from Star of Light  stamped with Basic Black ink, you have to be careful stamping on Glossy card stock. It's easy to slide your stamp on the slick glossy surface! I was ok with the way this one turned out because it looks like an intentional "ghost image" behind it.

Stampin_up_season_like_christmas_carolpaynestamps4

I used a die from the Starlight Thinlets to cut a bit of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper for a star/snowflake embellishment on each side of the greeting. I added a single rhinestone for some sparkle.

In my enthusiasm to add my watermark to these cards I apparently added it twice to this one! The Lantern Builder Thinlets and Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper make this card a winner!

Stampin_up_christmas_around_the_world_carolpaynestamps

Stampin_up_christmas_stocking_thinlets_carolpaynestamps1

Merry Mistletoe and the Be Merry Designer Series Paper are the stars of this card! A Garden Green background embossed with the Polka Dot Basics folder perfectly sets off the rest of the card, as does the Whisper White strip punched with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch!

Stampin_up_merry_mistletoe_carolpaynestamps

Tags & Trimmings and the Trim Your Stocking thinlets were used to create this adorable stocking card. Gold embossing of the snowflakes on the vellum complements the Gold Glimmer Snowflake and ties in perfectly with the Mini Gold Sequin Trim used for the stocking hanger!

Stampin_up_tags_and_trimmings_carolpaynestamps

Finally, it doesn't have to be a Christmas set to make a great card! Watts of Occasions includes elements for Christmas, as well as thanks, sorry, love you, and other encouraging phrases, making it a very versatile set!
