Puzzles & Pigs!

Hey there! The variety of the swaps that were created for the Alaska Incentive Trip was incredible! Of course, the entire new Annual Catalog to choose from, it was very easy to find inspiration!

Today's samples were created with Love You to Pieces and This Little Piggy!

This sample was created with the Love You to Pieces bundle, a Pearlized Doily, Balmy Blue, and Pool Party:

Stampin_up_love_you_to_pieces_carolpaynestamps1

With the Love You To Pieces Bundle you can create your own personalized PUZZLE! The Puzzle Pieces Thinlets Dies easily cut a full 12-piece puzzle that interlocks and can be re-assembled. I LOVE this puzzle created with Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper!

Stampin_up_love_you_to_pieces_carolpaynestamps2

Oh, the unreliability of photography! This sample looks like it is Balmy Blue and Whisper White, but after researching the accessories I've determined it is actually Bermuda Bay! The Bermuda Bay 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon gave me the clue I needed!

Stampin_up_love_you_to_pieces_carolpaynestamps3

This Little Piggy was paired with Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper and a sentiment from Stitched All Around for this fun card! Petal Pink is the perfect "piggy" color, and a Share What You Love Artisan Pearl and Petal Pink Rhinestone Gem lends some bling!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day This Little Piggy January 21st!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day This Little Piggy January 21st!

Hey there! I discovered I had a stack of This Little Piggy cards, so I'm  sharing them today! yay!

Some swaps arrive without a creator's name, like this adorable card. This Little Piggy was combined with an Eastern Beauty greeting and the Powder Pink print from the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack. She stamped the piggies on Blushing Bride card stock with black ink and then cut them out with Paper Snips. Sooooo cute!

Stampin_up_this_little_piggy_carolpaynestamps9

This fun piggy card is also nameless. The Sparkle Textured Impressions folder is combined with Layering Squares and Stitched Shapes Framelits. The hints of Daffodil Delight make it look so springy!

Stampin_up_this_little_piggy_carolpaynestamps3

One more un-named creation combined This Little Piggy with Layering Circles, Sweet & Sassy Framelits, and the Petal Burst Textured Impressions folder. Maybe a Valentine?

Stampin_up_this_little_piggy_carolpaynestamps2

BJ Peters combined This Little Piggy with the Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and Whisper White Baker's Twine. Another almost-Valentine!

Stampin_up_this_little_piggy_carolpaynestamps1

Finally, Angie Juda started with an Early Espresso base layered with Wood Textures 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. A hand-snipped greeting banner and a few wraps of Linen Thread and voila!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Thursday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Thursday!

Hey there! So sorry for the late post. Last night when I was ready to start my post Typepad was completely down (something about a "TLC handshake" failing) so I just closed my computer and went to bed. I'm still working on recovering from the "choking crud", as one of my daughter's called it, without getting a sinus infection. So far, so good.

I also have a little problem with the most recent pictures I've taken of my most recent creations. If you remember, I've been having problems with my camera, ever since my grandkids got a hold of it during Christmas. I've been trying different settings to get it back to normal. It seemed like  a good idea to change a setting to "vivid"to correct the yellowness of my previous pics. In reality, "vivid" makes everything fluorescent! Greens, pinks, yellows, they all hurt your eyes with their "vividness"! I need to set up and take new pics with a better setting (I think I've got it figured out now).

So to be able to move forward with my day and with my blog post I'm sharing another set of cute swaps! I will be re-taking the pictures of my creations (and some more swaps) today so things should be back to normal tomorrow! lol!

First, an adorable folding baby card by Carol Slack! Carol used the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper with the A Little Wild Bundle. Sooooo cute!

Stampin_up_a_little_wild_carolpaynestamps1

After stamping the bear she cut him out with a Little Loves Framelits die. I love the little bee! You can't see in the pic but there's a touch of Clear Wink of Stella on the bee's wings!

Stampin_up_a_little_wild_carolpaynestamps2

Another sweet touch is the tiny pearl she added to the flower center:

Stampin_up_a_little_wild_carolpaynestamps3

Fully opened reveals her use of the Sweetheart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, sponging around the heart with Blushing Bride ink!

Stampin_up_a_little_wild_carolpaynestamps4

Next, Ruth Bingle colored the bloom from Remarkable You with the Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends Markers for a vibrant look! Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Old Olive, and Basic Black combine for an elegant look!

Stampin_up_remarkable_you_carolpaynestamps1

Finally, Cindy Ewertz' creation with This Little Piggy! I love the Soft Sky paired with Whisper White and Smoky Slate for her color palette as a background for the Piggy colored with Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blends. The Petal Garden Designer Series Paper she used for the inside strip makes a gentle contrast to the Smoky Slate-stamped Hardwood background stamped on the front.

Stampin_up_this_little_piggy_carolpaynestamps1

Gorgeous!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop, May Edition, New Catalog Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop, May Edition, New Catalog Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Hope you've had a lovely Mother's Day! Whether you are a mother or not, we all have, or have had, one to celebrate. I've had a wonderful day with all six of my children, three sons-in-law, and nine grandchildren. We also celebrated with my Mother-in-Law. The guys did the grilling, so the day was relaxing. After lunch we played "Minute to Win It"-type games. There's a video somewhere of me winning a round of "eat a vanilla wafer off your forehead without using your hands", and Mark & I won a round of throwing and catching miniature marshmallows in a paper cup! Fun Times! I think all of the mother's had a good day!

Now, it's time for another Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! yay! Our theme this month is the New Catalog: A Sneak Peek!

1723402_10152213035905070_85588169_n

For my project I used new Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack, Happy Birthday Thinlets die, and Colorful Seasons stamps.

Stampin_up_happy_birthday_fresh_florals_carolpaynestamps1

 I created a monochromatic card with the new In Color Tranquil Tide and Whisper White.

I created a banner by snipping a 3" x 4 3/4" strip of Tranquil Tide with my Paper Snips and then embossing with the brand spankin' new Oh My Stars  Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It created a great background to mount the wonderful "Happy Birthday", cut with the new Happy Birthday Thinlets Die. Don't you just LOVE this die? I can tell I will be using it again and again!

Stampin_up_happy_birthday_fresh_florals_carolpaynestamps2

Inside I stamped the fabulous "just breathe" phrase from Colorful Seasons and the fun beach chair, all with Tranquil Tide.
