Hey there! Today's Sweet Citrus cards were created by my sweet friend and team member, Joanne Cantrell.  Joanne also created three levels of cards for three levels of stampers: beginner, casual, and avid.

The Beginner stamper card is simple, beginning with a Very Vanilla Thick card base.

We stamped the orange slices with Calypso Coral and the leaves with Pear Pizzazz, then cut them with the coordinating Sweet Citrus dies, which are included with the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder. We added the leaves with Stampin' Seal so they could lay flat, then added the slices with dimensionals so they would pop up a bit.

I love this sentiment from Sweet Citrus, stamped with Pear Pizzazz!

The Casual Stamper (someone who stamps occasionally and mostly when they attend classes, workshops, or camps) card has raised embossing with the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder, as well as Burlap ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack found in the new Mini Catalog.

This "zesty" birthday greeting is also from Sweet Citrus.

An Avid Stamper is someone (like me!) who loves to stamp, thinks about stamping, dreams about stamping, and has to own every stamp and accessory. Many Avid Stampers do purchase the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit (there are three awesome specials going on right now during Sale-a-bration. See the info I will add farther down in this post)

This card definitely fits the Avid Stamper bill! It has lots of stamping, embossing, die cutting, and sparkly embellishments!

In addition to embossing the 4" x 5 1/4" Calypso Coral layer, the stamped citrus slices were inserted into the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder WITH the die to cut them all out. That's what "hybrid" means for this embossing folder. You can cut and emboss the images with one pass through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine! It's hard to photograph, but we also added Clear Wink of Stella to the slices for some shimmer.

We stamped the flowers with Calypso Coral ink, cut them out with the coordinating die, then added them to the card with dimensionals. We added Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the centers of each.

This sentiment is also from the Sweet Citrus Stamp set.

Hey there! Today I have a set of three cards to share with you created by my team member, Angela Black. Angela created these cards for our Shoebox Swap last week, so everyone who attended was able to  make one of each of her cards. Angela chose the On the Farm Bundle from the January-April Mini Catalog, then added in the Day At the Farm 12 x 12 Designer Paper she chose as a free gift with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration Brochure.

Angela's Beginner Stamper card was all simple basic stamping with the On the Farm stamps. The card base is Old Olive, the focal image layer is Basie White, and the mat layer is Garden Green. She had us use Balmy Blue for the clouds, Soft Suede for the animals and the greeting, and stamped-off Garden Green for the grass.

Angela's  added Day at the Farm Designer paper for the background of her Casual Stamper card, wrapping white baker's twine that she dyed with the Cajun Craze ink pad around the first two front layers. She had us stamp the hills on a Basic White layer cut with a Deckled Rectangle Die, then we colored the hills and sky with a light wash of Old Olive and Balmy Blue using a Water Painter and the ink squeezed into the lid of the ink pads. The animals are cut from another print of the Day At The Farm Designer Paper using On the Farm dies.

We added another strip of designer paper to the inside, added more watercolor wash to the Basic White layer, then added chickens cut from the same print of Day At the Farm designer paper.

For our Avid Stamper card we did all stamping again, starting with the card front, where we stamped the hills repeatedly with Garden Green ink. We stamped and colored the background and animals with the Water Painter again.

We created the greeting banner with Daffodil Delight, Basic White, and a snippet of Day At the Farm Designer Paper. We created the banner ends with Paper Snips. We tied a bit of White Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack into a tiny bow and added it with a dot of liquid glue.

Hey there! Today's card is the final one in this Seaside Bay step-up series. I added a fun z-fold presentation and used the Seaside Bay dies:
This greeting is found in the Seaside Bay stamp set, stamped with Soft Suede on the Pale Papaya-stamped background.

I used one of the Seaside Bay dies to cut the oyster shells. I added Balmy Blue shading with a Small Blending Brush.

For the inside I stamped the oyster image from Seaside Bay with Balmy Blue ink, then used the coordinating die to cut it out. This oyster didn't exactly fit the outside shells, so I used my Paper Snips to cut it down a little bit before adhering inside the shells and adding a single Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearl.

I stamped the inside with a sentiment from Season of Chic.

These three cards were a lot of fun to create, I'm actually glad I couldn't find the coordinating designer paper!

Hey there! I'm back for the second day in a row! Are you surprised? I hope you aren't "too" surprised, as I plan to be posting here much more often than I have the past few months. It all started with something going haywire with Typepad, the blog host I use, that wouldn't allow photos to upload. It took awhile for me to discover that it wasn't my laptop's fault, nor our home internet, but an actual Typepad problem. About the time that finally was resolved, (which Typepad did not notify their customers when it was fixed, I just happened to check one day after growing tired of trying to upload photos every day with no success) the holiday chaos was beginning. Then I came down with Influenza A and was down on the couch for almost a week. I recovered just in time for my youngest son's college graduation (magna cum laude in English Literature) and then the final push to finish Christmas.

I did get a couple of projects completed for a swap before I went down on the couch, the Dainty Delight Calendar Easel card I shared with you yesterday and today's card created with the new Sale-a-bration set, Adorable Owls!

I used a simple z-fold for my card base, then used strips of Happy Forest Friends Designer Paper for the background. After stamping the owl with Soft Suede ink, I colored with the Stampin' Blends listed below and then punched with the Decorative Circle Punch. The bow is tied with the Pumpkin Pie twine found in the Three Twine Combo pack from the January/April 2023 Mini catalog page 59.

I finished off the inside with another strip of the Happy Forest Friends Designer paper and a sentiment from another $50 freebie Sale-a-bration set, Sending Support.

Soft Suede 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [115318]	Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad [147115]	Happy Forest Friends 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [158941]
Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276]	Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Pad [147111]	Decorative Circle Punch [159174]

Hey there! I've been MIA again for awhile, and to be completely honest, I've kind of gotten out of my "groove" of posting on my blog. After the fiasco of Typepad being down for almost 3 weeks in October it's been really hard to get back in the habit, but I do have some cards lined up to share with you and tons of swaps to share from my monthly swap as well as the swapping I did at the Stampin' Up! OnStage Local I attended in Indianapolis, Indiana earlier this month, so don't give up on me, please!

The card I have to share today I created for the monthly swap I have participated in for many, many years. Most month's have some sort of theme, or at least a direction to go with while we are creating, and this months' theme was to create a card with a tag. I used an Annual Catalog stamp set, Full of Love, and the Very Best Trio Punch from the July-December Mini Catalog:

I started by stamping the floral letter image with Memento ink on the Basic White background layer, then stamping it again on the Basic White layer for the tag. I stamped a greeting from the Full of Love stamp set, then embossed the stamped white layer with the "happy birthday" folder from the Let's Celebrate Embossing Folders.

I punched both the white tag front and the Pool Party layer with the Very Best Trio Punch, flipping the strips over to punch to opposite corner so they curve would match. I punched the top of the tag with the ribbon slit from the same punch before  coloring the tag and the background around the flowers with the Stampin' Blends I have listed in below. I then adhered the tag layers together, added the ribbon, and then adhered over the stamped and embossed white layer to achieve a "spotlighted look".

Inside I stamped another phrase from Full of Love, as well as the single bloom in the lower left corner. I added a trio of tiny blossoms with Pool Party ink. I repeated these motifs on the coordinating envelope.

Full Of Love Cling Stamp Set (English)	Let's Celebrate Embossing Folders	Very Best Trio Punch
Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Pool Party 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad	Pool Party Classic Stampin' Pad	Old Olive & Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon Combo Pack
Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Combo Pack	Pool Party Stampin' Blends Combo Pack	Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
Parakeet Party Stampin' Blends Combo Pack	Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends Combo Pack	Basic White Medium Envelopes

Hey there! Over the weekend I attended a Stampin' Up! in-person event, the first in THREE YEARS. I was able to go with three of my team, and we had such a good time!

I have a couple of fun things to share with you today, the first of which is this card created with a Sneak Peek set from the next mini catalog, which begins on January 5th.  The second thing is a Seasonal Sale that starts tomorrow. You will find the details farther down in this post.

The stamp set is called Framed Florets, the dies are called Framed Florets Dies, the the paper is limited edition while-supplies-last Fitting Florets Specialty Designer Series Paper. These supplies are available to order now!

After stamping the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cutting with the coordinating Framed Florets die, I used sponge daubers to lightly add Pool Party and Soft Succulent ink. I then added Clear Wink of Stella over the blooms to add some sparkle.

I added Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for little pops of coordinating color.

I created a pocket for a gift card by folding over the front about 1 1/2", added a 1 1/4" strip of Fitting Florets Designer Paper, then punched with a Label Me Lovely Punch.

The inside sentiment is also from Framed Florets.

Hey there! If you have been wondering what is going on with my blog, all I can say is right now I'm having a lot of trouble uploading photos to it. I've tried everything I can think of: restarting my laptop, updating my Windows, using my phone's hotspot instead of the house internet, trying to upload at varying times of day; you name it, I've probably tried it! What's really weird though is that I am able to upload and post the standard photos that I add to the bottom of every post, such as my Host Code, where to find the Host Code box in my online store, photos that accompany my monthly specials, SU! specials, etc, but I can't upload and post new photos!

If you are actually reading this post and seeing the Sending Fall card, that means I was able to post the pictures of it! Finally!

Note: After almost a month, I finally found that it wasn't anything I was doing wrong, it was my Blog Host, Typepad, that was having the issues!

I created this card with the Sending Fall Bundle. I've created a card similar to this one but with a spring-like look. You can find that card HERE.

I used the Sending Dies to cut the two the two layers for the word. I cut the solid background from Cajun Craze, then cut the top detail word from Basic White with Adhesive Sheet on the back so all I had to do was remove the backing and it was easy to apply to the background. I adhered the word to a circle I had cut with a Stylish Shapes die from Gold Metallic Paper. I stamped the "birthday wishes" with Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White, then cut with another die from the Sending Dies pack. I finished off the look with a Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dot.

I stamped the background with the Sending Smiles stamps and Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, and Mossy Meadow inks.

I stamped the inside with more images from the front and a sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

Hey there! Busy weekend again! Every year sometime before Christmas all of the "Payne Girls" (my daughters, teen granddaughters, and daughter-in-laws) go shopping together one Saturday. For a long time it was always after Thanksgiving, but a few years ago we started going before Thanksgiving, which actually works better for me as I  can then get a better handle on my present-buying. When you are buying gifts for 25+ peeps, it takes a while to get it organized. I've figured out a good way to keep track, which involves putting Post-It Notes on gifts as I put them in my cart in the store and keeping a small notebook in my purse to keep track.

This year with Faith expecting Wesley the first of December she requested we go in October as she really didn't feel comfortable traveling over an hour from home and doctor so close to her due date, so we were glad to get to all go together on Saturday! I did get a good start on my shopping, so now if I can just keep going and get it all wrapped sooner rather than later! haha!

I realized I hadn't shared the card I made for Grace's birthday in September with you yet, so here it is!

I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set and Hello Harvest Bundle to create this fall-themed card with a birthday message.

For the front greeting I used a sentiment from Hello Harvest, stamped with Cajun Craze ink.

I used an inkpad-dragging technique to ink all of the leaves, starting by inking the leaf first with Pumpkin Pie, then dragging the edge of the Cajun Craze pad along the outside edges of the leaf. After stamping Very Vanilla with one of the leaves, I stamped the Hello Harvest pumpkin over with Cajun Craze ink, then cut with a Rustic Pumpkin die. As I added Clear Wink of Stella all over the pumpkin I found that the Wink of Stella solution slightly picked up the stamped Cajun Craze ink and moved it as I painted with the brush to give the pumpkin the all-over orange blush look! Wink of Stella also intensified the colors of the leaf.

I finished off the inside with the banner sentiment from Hello Harvest.

Rustic Pumpkin Dies	Leaf Fall 3 D Embossing Folder	Soft Suede 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Very Vanilla 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Pumpkin Pie Classic Stampin' Pad	Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' Pad

Hey there! Today I have a small group of special swap cards created with the Season of Chic bundle of stamps and dies, as well as the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Paper!

First, Janice Weightman used the Season of Chic stamp set with Texture Chic Specialty and Distressed Gold Specialty papers. She cut the two greeting layers with Deckled Rectangles Dies.

She added a single brass (which coordinates beautifully with the gold in the specialty paper) Flowers Trinket. The Pool Party-stamped greeting is also from Season of Chic.

Next, Melissa Thomas' card  is perfect for displaying four of the 12 different prints in the Texture Chic Specialty paper pack!

From seashells to woodlands, you can find something from this pack of paper to coordinate with any of the images or sentiments in this collection! She cut the oak leaf from Copper Foil.

She has each season represented: summer (seashell), fall (oak leaf), winter (snowflake), and spring (blooms).

She stamped the Season of Chic sentiment with Evening Evergreen ink to stand out on the Crumb Cake card base.

Chris Wedell created her card with Petal Pink, Soft Suede, Basic White, and Texture Chic Specialty.

Another pretty Season of Chic sentiment on the inside.
