Stampin’ Up! Magical Season!

Stampin’ Up! Magical Season!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm getting ready to go to a wedding today, so I just have a few minutes to post this gorgeous card that was shared on a facebook group I am a member of for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.

With Robin Merriman's permission:

I LOVE this card!

She used the Magical Season #134777 Single Stamp cut out with a Chalk Talk Framelit, Smoky Slate, Pool Party, and Winter Frost Designer Paper, Festive Flurry Framelits with Silver Glimmer Paper, and a Vintage Faceted Button with Island Indigo Baker's Twine.

The final touch I have done in the past but had forgotten about is the Crystal Effects/Dazzling Diamonds "icicles" she added below the greeting! LOVE!

That's all for now. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Snow Day Ornament Make & Take!

Stampin’ Up! Snow Day Ornament Make & Take!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Just a quick post. I'm off soon to the Mt Vernon Teacher's Conference for the next two days. I will be meeting and sharing with several hundred teachers from Jefferson, Franklin, and other counties here in Southern Illinois!

I want to share with you the little ornament/tag I will have available for attendees to make:

Snow day tag

Here's my favorite little snowman guy again from the Snow Day stamp set, stamped with Whisper White Craft ink, Jet Black StazOn, Cherry Cobbler, and Tangerine Tango. He is cut out with the Holiday Ornaments Framelits and the Big Shot. He is sponged around the edges with the White Craft ink too!

That's all for now. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Snow Day for Debbie!

Stampin’ Up! Snow Day for Debbie!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Today (Saturday) I had the pleasure to introduce my dear sister-in-law, Debbie, to Stampin' Up! Debbie & I have been married to brothers for over 30 years, we were pregnant with our first three babies almost at the same times, and we have considered  each other our "partners in crime" for most of that time!

This weekend Debbie came up for a visit from her home in Franklin, TN, and went to a Stamp-a-Stack workshop with me. Deb has been watching me with my Stampin' Up! business for the past almost 11 years, but had never had a chance to actually stamp. She got to stamp today, ALOT! – 10 cards to be exact, and she loved it! She especially fell in love with the happy little snowman from the Snow Day stamp set. When we got home we designed this for her to make a stack of winter notecards:

Snow day for debbie

We pulled some elements from a few other Snow Day cards I had for her to see, then designed this simple card that is not really Christmas, but is more winter than anything else. The card base is Smoky Slate, layered with Whisper White and Winter Frost Designer Paper. Another layer of Smokey Slate, followed by the Whisper White layer for the snowman image stamped in Pool Party. We "stamped off" the ink on the snowflake stamp once on the grid sheet before stamping each snowflake. His smiley face and arms are Jet Black StazOn, his nose is Tangerine Tango, and his scarf and heart are Real Red. We are leaving the inside blank so she can use it all fall winter as a notecard for whatever occasion or reason she needs.

I really enjoyed sharing my love of stamping with her today! Sharing what I love is definitely one of my passions. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Don't forget, there's only TWO days left to purchas the $25 Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Starter Kit! FIVE new demonstrators have already joined the first level of my team of Yes Mam! Stampers!, will you be next? Let me know if you need any help!

Stampin’ Up! Yes, Mam’s Aleta Heern & Sherry Peyton!

Stampin’ Up! Yes, Mam’s Aleta Heern & Sherry Peyton!

Posted on by Carol Payne

After featuring Linda Reaney and Angela Henson this week, I couldn't leave out a couple more great downline friends of mine, Aleta & Sherry!

First, Aleta Heern is my "oldest" downline member. By "oldest"  I don't mean her age, she is the gal who has been in my downline the longest, since February of 2005! Although I had several downline join my group before Aleta, none of those girls are still around. It happens. Stampin' Up! can fit your lifestyle and needs for a few years, and then things change and it's time to move on. Life is all about change. But while Aleta joined Stampin' Up! just to get the discount on her own purchases, she found stamping friends and now has a fun, loyal group she stamps with monthly. Her word for it is "play days". Sound great to me!

Here's Aleta's creation from our downline meeting this past Sunday using Joyful Christmas, Whisper White, Brushed Gold, Island Indigo, and the Encore Metallic Gold inkpad:

Aleta heern

Sherry Peyton is a more recent addition to my group, joining in September of last year. This is Sherry's second round as a demo. That's one of the great things about Stampin' Up! Just because you have to take a break for whatever reason, you can always come back!

Here's Sherry's creation using my favorite from the Holiday Catalog, Snow Day. Clean and simple, perfect for the beginning stamper but also great for a Stamp-a-Stack or to mass-produce for your Christmas card this year!

Sherry peyton 1

Sherry combined Pacific Point, Pool Party, and Whisper White cardstock with Winter Frost Designer Paper to create a perfect wintery background for the adorable snowman from this set. She added "pops" of red in his toboggan hat and scarf. Love it!

That's all for now. I have oodles to get done before my dear sister-in-law, Debbie, comes in for a weekend visit!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin Up! Creations by Yes, Mam! Angela Henson!

Stampin Up! Creations by Yes, Mam! Angela Henson!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Are you wondering why I am featuring another one of my downline, the "Yes, Mam! Stampers", on my blog again today? With the Join Stampin' Up! for $25 Starter Kit getting ready to expire next Monday, I wanted to share with you how much I love my downline girls! They are an awesome group of ladies who love to stamp and love sharing Stampin' Up!

Angela Henson is one awesome lady! She's a Physician's Assistant by day, and a Stampin' Up! demo nights & weekends! This just shows you don't have to have oodles of time on your hands to enjoy this passion!

Here are a couple of Angela's recent creations:

Angela henson feative flurry

Angela used Pool Party and Whisper White cardstock with Pool Party and Encore Metallic Silver ink to create this gorgeous card using the Festive Flurry stamps and framelits bundle and a greeting from Sweet Essentials! She accented with Rhinestone jewels and 1/8" Silver ribbon!

Angela henson 4
She left the inside blank for a personal message, but I love the way she used the same stamps and inks to bring the outside and the inside of the card to complement each other!

 
Angela henson 1

For her second creation, Angela used the same Festive Flurry stamp set, but with a Midnight Muse, Whisper White and Silver combo. She addded some Silver Glimmer paper punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch, 1/8" Silver Ribbon, Rhinestones, and a greeting from the Wishing You stamp set punched with the Decorative Label Punch!

Angela henson 2
So many of our stamp sets have two phrase stamps that complement each other, which is the case with Wishing You. Angela finished off the inside of ther card with Encore Metallic Silver-stamped snowflakes and the coresponding Wishing You phrase!

If you would like to join my group of Yes Mam! Stampers, I am getting Welcome Packets ready to go in the mail to my new recruits taking advantage of the $25 Starter Kit, and I would love to send a Welcome Packet to you! Just go to my Stampin' Up! website www.carolpayne.stampinup.net and click on the "join the fun" tab on the upper right side.
