Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on January 3, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's about time we had a Sunday Swap Day, don't you think? I still have some samples from the November Monthly swap that I was saving to show you!

This first sample does not have a name on it. I'm not sure if it came that way or if I somehow lost it, but regardless, it's a lovely masculine swap created with the Hearth & Home framelits (which will still be available to order from the new Occasions Catalog!) and The Open Sea stamp set:

The creator made her own textured very vanilla background by scoring lines with her Simply Scored Tool. The "happy birthday" is from And Many More.

Next, Karen Kurz created a free-standing pop-up card using the same Hearth & Home Thinlets (which will still be available in the Occasions Catalog) with the Happy Scenes set (which IS RETIRING on January 4th)

Rhonda Bassler also used Hearth & Home thinlets and Happy Scene stamps. She used the Woodland Textured Impressions Folder, a Holiday favorite that, although not available to order right now, will be available again in the new Annual Catalog that starts June 1, 2016! "Thinking of You" is from the ever-popular Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Finally, Kavi Coulson combined Wonderland and Guy Greetings, with the Glitter-Splatter technique for her swap:

The Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration begins on Tuesday, January 5th, but you can still order Wonderland and Happy Scenes stamp sets in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on April 12, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is a really busy day. First thing this morning I am helping with the babies in the nursery, then right after church is over we are throwing a bridal shower for a good friend of our family. As soon as we clean up from the shower it will be time for the evening service. Whew! I’m tired already! I am in charge of the shower decorations, and I am really happy with what I came up with to go with the bride’s wedding theme of Teal, Red, Burlap, and Pearls. I hope to have some pics to share with you tomorrow!

But even with all the busyness, it’s still Sunday Swap Day, so here we go!

Today’s swaps have a decidedly masculine feel.

This swap created by pairing The Open Sea with the World Map background is simple but packs a lot of visual interest. Unfortunately, the creators’ name has been separated from the creation.

Second, Mary Waring achieved a stunning rendition of World Map by coloring the “map” with Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz. She used the suitcase from the Traveler set and a phrase from Really Good Greetings.

Third, Becky NIchols combined the Hardwood background with the Moon Lake set. I really like how she used the Window Frames Framelits Dies to cut out and mat the bird image, then used one of the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits to cut out the greeting!

Finally, Ruth Anne Lilley also used Hardwood and Moon Lake, but used the swish stamp from Work of Art to easily add color to the tree and boat image!

That’s all for now. I must get ready for this busy day!

Here’s the link to my online store to order your supplies to make your own version of these cards:

You will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail from me no matter how small or large your order is!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
