Stampin’ Up! Everything Eleanor for Christmas in July!

Stampin’ Up! Everything Eleanor for Christmas in July!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I still have a few more of my Christmas in July cards to share with you. Today I have another Jackie Topa inspiration using Everything Eleanor:

Stampin_up_everything_eleanor_1 - Copy

This was  a fun card to make! The wreath is a medallion stamp in the set, and the birdie stamp has been enhanced with a Real Red marker and  a Project Life Journaling Pen for an authentic cardinal look.The Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape along the sides frames it all perfectly!

Stampin_up_everything_eleanor_2

The soon-to-be-retiring More Merry Messages provides the greeting and inside sentiment!

That's all for now. You can order all of the supplies to easily make this card when you shop in my Online Store. Here's your supply list before you go there:

 

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Transfer Adhesive Sheet Tree!

Stampin’ Up! Transfer Adhesive Sheet Tree!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have another card from my Christmas in July class to share with you today, again inspired by the talented Jackie Topa:

Stampin_up_transfer_adhesive_sheet_tree_1 - Copy

I wasn't sure about Transfer Adhesive Sheets when I first saw them in the catalog. The word "transfer" threw me off. I thought, "to run through the copier?" Stampin' Up! tucked a package of these in our pillow gifts in the Incentive Trip, so when I saw Jackie's tree with the gold glitter it all came together. These are fun and so affordable! Just $6.95 for a package of twelve 5 3/4" x 7 3/4" sheets.

When you make this card, be sure you add the In Color Sequins BEFORE you sprinkle the adhesive sheet with glitter. If you add the glitter first, you will have to use Tombow glue to adhere the sequins. MUCH easier to apply the sequins first!

Inside we are using the Evergreen stamp set, which is retiring on August 27th, along with the rest of the Holiday Carryover List. You can view the list by clicking on this link: Download Holiday_Carryover_2014_US-5

Stampin_up_transfer_adhesive_sheet_tree_3 - Copy

I really like the combo of the Strawberry Slush card base with Very Vanilla/Gold Glitter/In Color Sequins. It's a fresh, modern look for a Christmas Card, but also a bit 60's retro!

That's all for now. I'm including the supply list for this card below. You can click on any image to go to my store or click HERE:

Stampin’ Up! What’s Up Punch for Christmas!

Stampin’ Up! What’s Up Punch for Christmas!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! What's Up? The new What's Up punch in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog is proving to be a very versatile additon to my stamping stash! In yesterday's post it was used to create a gogeous snowflake, today we have this:

Stampin_up_whats_up_punch_1

Pretty cool, yes? Both parts of the punch were used to create the birdhouse on a post!

Stampin_up_whats_up_punch_3

This card is another inspiration from Canadian demo Jackie Topa. I added the tiny wreath created with the new /4" Circle Handheld punch and the Boho Blossoms punch, outfitted with a bow made with two hearts from the Owl Builder punch and a rhinestone!

Stampin_up_whats_up_punch_5

These little birdies are absolutely adorable! Start with Soft Sky cardstock punched with the heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack. Snip of a tiny bit of the bottom end, then fold down one of the curves of the heart for the birdie "wing"!

Stampin_up_whats_up_punch_2

Add beaks and legs with a Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Marker. I'm also lovin' the new Project Life Journaling Pens! They are perfect for precise drawing of little birdie eyes!

Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details adds the finishing touch to the snowbank, the birdhouse, and under the birdies' feet!

The greeting on the front is from the limited-supply photopolymer Christmas Bliss, as well as the lineup of ornaments inside. The inside phrase is from the Holiday Carryover set, Christmas Messages!

Stampin’ Up! Founders Circle and a Dazzling Diamonds Snowflake!

Stampin’ Up! Founders Circle and a Dazzling Diamonds Snowflake!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there!  Now that our family vacation is over (insert frowny face) I'm back to daily blogging. This has been one CRAZY busy summer!

I didn't go to the Stampin' Up! convention this year. Last year I stayed home to help with baby Oakley. (no frowny face) This year I had to cancel again (but all is well)  Friday night I received this text, "You got Founders Circle!" I'm honored and humbled to be in the Top 100 Stampin' Up! demonstrators in the U.S.

10489620_947084535308533_4677575354108542814_n

I've already registered for the Founders Circle Retreat in St George, Utah in September, my fifth since 2008.  My customers, downline, and family deserve all my thanks.They stamp with me, work with me, and put up with me and my stampy chaos!

This weekend is my Christmas in July card class. Here is one card we are making, using the new Whats Up punch, new Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, and a future hostess set:

Stampin_up_dazzling_diamonds_snowflake_1 - Copy

I used Snowflake Soiree (soon retiring) on the inside with Encore Metallic Silver ink and a phrase from the new Christmas Bliss photopolymer, which is while-supplies-last.

Stampin_up_dazzling_diamonds_snowflake_2 - Copy

This card was inspired by Canadian demonstrator Jackie Topa.

If you haven't RSVP'd yet for Christmas in July, please do so today!

Stampin’Up! Beauty of the Season for Christmas in July!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a quick post today. We've been on vacation with our kids and grandkids, so I've not been focused on my blog or business at all, it's all about the family right now!

I did complete my projects for my Christmas in July class before I left for vacation. I also received my Beauty of the Season set, which is available in July as a Sneak Peek of the upcoming Holiday Catalog. We are going to be using this set to make this:

Stampin_up_beauty_of_the_season_1 - Copy

We will be using Blendabilities in  Cherry Cobbler, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Skin Tones, and the Color Lifter to color the cardinal, stamped with the Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

More info about this card and the class will be going out in my newsletter later today. If you aren't subscribed to my newsletters, yet, why aren't you? It's easy to subscribe, just go to the "Sign Up for our email newsletter" over on the right side bar of this blog!

Here's the supply list for today's card. You can click on any image below to shop in my online store or click HERE.

 
That's all for now! I need to get into my suit, out of this room, and out to the waterpark with my family! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
