Stampin’ Up! Catalog Year In Review!

Posted on May 28, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Since the new catalog starts on Wednesday (only five more sleeps!) and the Retiring List of Stamps and Accessories still has quite a bit of fun stuff available, I thought we'd take a walk down memory lane to see some favorites from the past year!

The Build a Birthday stamp set will be in the new catalog, but Cherry on Top paper and Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, with the flower punch used on this card, are retiring and still orderable!

You can view the full post with another Build a Birthday sample HERE.

Blended Bloom and Big News are on the Retiring List at a 25% discount! View the original post HERE.

I love making Slider cards, and this one with retiring Kind Koala, A Dozen Thoughts, and Honeycomb Textured Impressions Folder is one of my favorites!

View the original post with more pics HERE.

Kind Koala and A Dozen Thoughs are still available, and the Honeycomb folder is discounted 30%!

This card also has three retiring products: Timeless Elegance Designer Paper (sold out), Striped Scallop Thinlets Die(still available) and Greetings Thinlets (sold out). View the original post HERE.

As I started going through my blog posts of the past year, I realized it will take more than one post to show you all of my favorites! Be sure to come back tomorrow for another installment!

My final favorite for today uses Serene Silhouettes, Summer Silhouettes, and World of Dreams, ALL THREE RETIRING! View the original post HERE.

The clear mount version of World of Dreams is sold out, but all the rest are still available!

The Brick Wall folder is NOT retiring and is in the new catalog that goes live at 4 a.m. CDT on June 1st!

Stampin’ Up! Challenge Cards Made By Becky!

Posted on April 20, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have cards created by a member of my team, Becky Anderson. At our monthly team meeting I post a challenge for the next month to create a card with a theme. Last month's theme was anything with flowers and my team created some beautiful samples. Today I have three to share with you from Becky!

First, Becky layered a piece of Birthday Bouquet Designer Paper (retiring) over a Blushing Bride base with a layer of Watermelon Wonder in between. After adding a pleated piece of Watermelon Wonder 1 1/4" Striped Satin Ribbon (retiring), she added a fancy-cut bloom from another piece of Birthday Bouquet paper. A fancy-cut greeting from the Balloon Celebration stamp set finishes it all off.

Inside she stamped a phrase from Suite Sayings and "Happy Birthday" from a stamp set I know I should know but am unable to identify! lol!

Becky's next entry is a monochromatic Calypso Coral card using Botanical Builder Framelits, rhinestones, and a greeting from Butterfly Basics, all carrying over to the new catalog!

Inside Becky punched the corners of the Whisper White layer with the Curvy Corner Trio punch again, then stamped a phrase from the Fabulous Four set, which is retiring on May 31st.

Becky's final creation starts with a Sahara Sand card base with a layer of Basic Black, followed by a top layer of Timeless Elegance Designer Paper that she sponged with Real Red ink.

She added a greeting from Petite Pairs (retiring), punched with retiring oval punches. The Sahara Sand 7/8" Lace Trim is also retiring.

Inside Becky stamped a phrase from Blessed By God (retiring) and punched the corners with the Curvy Corner Trio punch (also retiring)

You can still find and order all of the products used today in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Elegance Tea Party!

Posted on March 22, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I was inspired by Patty Bennett to create this gate fold card for my monthly swap. I made 21 with a little (ahem, A LOT) help from my sweet hubby manning the Big Shot:

I used Timeless Elegance Designer Paper (retiring May 31) for the background and tea pot:

and tea cup:

Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies cut them out. The tiny teabag is also a Cups & Kettle die. I added Silver Metallic Thread between two teabag layers to dangle from the tea cup.

Here's a little storage/organization tip:

Purchase magnetic vent covers from a home improvement store. The ones I purchased had three loooong lightweight magnetic covers for less than $5. Cut to fit the die packaging with household scissors.

Dies stay put on the magnetic sheet!

I cut Very Vanilla with tea pot and cup dies, then adhered with Tombow Multipurpose glue for stability.

I put dimensionals on only one side of the shape:

I cut the spoon from Silver Foil, and added the greeting from Birthday Blooms, cut with the smallest Lots of Labels Framelit, using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Inside is all Birthday Blooms:

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Blooms Chalkboard!

Posted on March 10, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! This morning I'm on my way to help my photographer daughter's house to get her tax nfo ready for her tax lady. We do this once a year, and it takes all day, but it's one of the rare days of the year we get to spend the whole day together so I love it!

Today I"m sharing another card created for my #imbringingbirthdaysback stamp-a-stack but didn't make the cut. I used the chalkboard technique with Birthday Blooms stamps and Timeless Elegance Designer Paper:

I started with a Lost Lagoon card base, a layer of Basic Gray, then a layer of Timeless Elegance Designer Paper softly sponged with Soft Sky ink using a Sponge Dauber.

The reason this card didn't make "the cut" for my class is probably obvious. After I heat-embossed the blooms on Basic Black with white powder, I gently sponged the blooms only with White Craft ink for the "chalkboard" look. I "fancy cut" with my Paper Snips (aka fussy cut) the blooms.

I layered Venetian Crochet Trim over Basic Black 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, and added a white-heat-embossed greeting from Birthday Blooms punched with the Washi Label Punch.

Inside I punched the Very Vanilla corners with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch and stamped the bloom again with Soft Sky ink.

Stampin’ Up! Rose Wonder Stained Glass One More Time!

Posted on February 19, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I hope you aren't tired of the Rose Wonder set yet. I will have more cards using this gorgeous set in the future, but for today I have the last one's I created with the Stained Glass technique. I used Timeless Elegance Designer Paper and a color combo of Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Cherry Cobbler:

I used the wedding stamps included in Rose Wonder, and added a bloom created with the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

My second Rose Wonder card I brushed on clear Wink of Stella for some sparkle, and used a greeting from the Sale-a-bration set, Perfect Pairings.

Clear Wink of Stella brushed on Cherry Cobbler:

For my third and final creation I filled in a Cherry Cobbler rose outline with Blushing Bride petals that I embossed with the Elegant Dots folder:

Inside I used more Rose Wonder stamps. This set is so versatile!

I don't have any weddings on the calendar right now, but when I do, I will have my card ready! lol!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Elegance for Kimberly!

Posted on August 24, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had our family celebration for all of the August birthdays yesterday. It was a lovely family day , and since August is also my birthday month, we decided to get KFC and a DQ ice cream cake to make it easy "cooking"! lol!

The card I'm sharing with you today I made for Kimberly's birthday. She just started selling Mary Kay a few months ago so I wanted to make her a card with a girly "make-up" theme:

I paired Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper with the Birthday Blossoms set, adding Tip Top Taupe 1" Dotted Lace Trim, Basic Black 1/2" Striped Satin Ribbon, and Black Glimmer paper (coming soon in the Holiday Catalog!) for sparkle!

I created the "lipstick" with the diaper pin framelit in the Baby's First Framelits, and one of the labels in the Project Life Cards and Labels. I applied Crystal Effects over the Rose Red card stock for some shine.

I punched the Black Glimmer paper with the Tree Builder Punch tiny flower and made my own envelope with more Timeless Elegance paper and the Envelope Punch Board.
