Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day: You’re Lovely!

Posted on March 16, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday again, which means it's Sunday-swap-sharing day! yay!

Today I have a couple of fun cards using the Sale-a-bration set, You're Lovely:

This swap has Basic Gray, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Whisper White for its main colors, with a pop of Calypso Coral for the flower. A Tea Lace Doily, Whisper White Baker's Twine, the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, and Pearls Basic Jewels make this card a winner!

My second swap to show you today was created by Susie Wood. Susie combined Crumb Cake, Basic Black, and a pop of Whisper White to create a very visually pleasing creation!

Stamps used are the You're Lovely stamp set, (free with a $50 order for just a couple more weeks, what are you waiting for? Get yours from my Online Store today!) Gorgeous Grunge, and Hardwood Background.

Big Shot products used are the Lattice Bigz Die and Deco Label Framelits.

Accessories are Tea Lace Doilies, White Chalk Marker, Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker, and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

That's all for now. If you haven't taken the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop, go back to yesterday's post and start hoppin'!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop:Hoppity Hop Hop!

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Welcome to the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop March Edition: Hoppity Hop Hop! If you are already on the hop you just arrived from Stella MacKay's blog, StellarStamps where you saw Stella's gorgeous Easter Bunny Basket Card! Love it!

My creation for you today is a little "suite" of two coordinating 3-D items that I absolutely love:

My suite consists of a Coastal Cabana Easter Basket and a sponge-daubered Mini Muslin treat bag with a double-gift tag!

The basket is super-easy to make with just a 4" x 5" piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock and one more 1/2" x 4" itty-bitty strip for the handle. I inked just the "hello" from the "hello baby" stamp in Teeny Tiny Wishes, then punched it out with one of the Little Labels Punch Pack labels. I tied a bit of Linen Thread in a bow, then glue-dotted it to the basket.

I used acrylic paint and Sponge Daubers to stamp the polka-dots on the Mini Muslin Bag for a spring-y, easter-y look! I had just a few colors of acrylic paint in my stash, and no pink, so I added a drop of Primrose Petals to white and stirred it with a toothpick before stamping on the bag. The yellow paint was also a little bit too dark, so I added a bit of white paint to it to tone it down.

I used the bunny from the "Baby, We've Grown" stamp set, stamped on a scrap of Watercolor Paper, watercolored with an Aquapainter and inkpad lid ink, and cut out with the smallest Oval Collection Framelit Die. I mounted it on a Scalloped Tag Topper Punched piece of Afternoon Tea Designer Paper.

I stamped a Very Vanilla Scalloped Tag Topper Tag with the string of hearts from the Make Note This and That Rotary Stamp and Coastal Cabana ink. The greeting is from Delightful Dozen. I added a strip of Coastal Cabana cut with the Fringe Scissors. The "eggs" hiding in the grass are actually punched with another of the Little Labels Punch Pack punches and then cut in half.

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day: Eggstra Spectacular!

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there. With Easter fast approaching (only a little over a month away!), I thought I had better share these two swaps I received in February using the Eggstra Spectacular stamp set from the Occasions Catalog:

Laura Milligan used the Chevron Textured Impressions Folder to add a look of "hopping" to coordinate with the "hoppy easter" bunny stamp. She added a little peek of tea lace doily to the tag she created with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, grass cut with the fringe scissors, and a little "pom" purchased from a craft department for the bunny tail. A tiny Pink Pirouette butterfly from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit, a piece of Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon and a bow of White Baker's Twin finish this card off perfectly!

Tammy Ackerson used Strawberry Slush cardstock and Designer Paper with a White Tea Lace Doily to create the perfect background for the little "hoppy easter" bunny on this card. A Pearl Basic Jewel serves as this bunny's tail!

Well, that's all for now. Quick and cute today!

This card was created with a greeting from Blooming with Kindness, blossoms from Petite Petals, Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper, and Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon.

Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper again for the background, with a Tea Lace Doily and a Scallop Tag Topper-punched tag. Stamps from Gorgeous Grunge and a greeting from Perfect Pennants. A medallion created with one of the Starburst Framelits, Secret Garden Framelit, 7/8" Scallop Circle punch, 1/2" Circle punch, and a Large Pearl Basic Jewel. A bit of Gold Foil Sheet an some unraveled 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon for the tag tie finish this one off.

Raspberry Ripple Petite Petals flowers highlight this Raspberry Ripple/Whisper White confection! Scoring gives the background a lattice-look, and the greeting is from Sassy Salutations.

Monstermaniacs is the focal image for this card, with Just Sayin' greeting cut out with a Word Bubble Framelit Die.

We may still have snow on the ground, but Easter is on its' way! The Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder creates the background for the Sweet Sorbet Pennants and image from Eggstra Spectacular stamp set!

Stampin’Up! Sweet Sayings Cards & Envelopes!

Posted on February 4, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have a trio of cards to show you today. I created them using the Sweet Sayngs Cards & Envelopes from the "Whole Lot of Love" flyer of products that has been extended until February 14.

This 12 pack of card and coordinating envelopes is not just for valentines:

First, an easter card using the Blessed Easter wood-mount single stamp, the Happy Day stamp set, Pool Party 1/2" Seam Binding, and the Scallop Tag Topper punch!

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Blessings from Heaven, then breathed on the left-over ink on the Blessed Easter stamp to re-moisten so I could stamp again in the lower left corner. The Sweet Sayings pack has four each of Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party, and Read Red envelopes, so I stamped with the medallion stamp from Happy Day with Crisp Cantaloupe ink on the matching envelope!

Next, I used more stamps from Happy Day, Pool Party 1/2" Seam Binding, and the Scallop Tag Topper Punch again to create this fun little general-greeting card. I added a few Rhinestones to give it a little "pop"!

This time I stamped on the Pool Party envelope that comes with the Sweet Sayings cards to keep the coordination going!

Finally, I used the Language of Love stamp set to create a valentine! I stamped my images with Real Red, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Pool Party. The heart with the love sentiments in many languages was punched with the Full Heart punch, and I fussy-cut the banners and pennant with my Paper Snips. I backed the heart with a Real Red one cut with one of the Hearts a Flutter Framelits. I punched a little half-circle with an Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack punch on each side of the card front to help anchor the Pool Party Twine from the FREE SAB Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack.

I hope you've enjoyed my trio of cards. I love how Stampin' Up! has been giving us so many more kit options lately that have pre-cut, pre-scored card bases and envelopes! It makes card making a snap!

To order the Sweet Sayings Cards & Envelopes #134609 $5.95 click HERE to go to my Online Store. I am currently working on sending out my Bluesox Rewards, you receive a "virtual token" for every $25 you spend (before tax & shipping) Collect 12 and you can choose a $19.95 stamp set free from me.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Easter Wishes!

Posted on March 31, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! He is Risen! Happy Easter to you! This morning we will be at Sunrise Service in a few minutes, then a breakfast at church, then Sunday School, then Easter Worship Service, then home for our family dinner and Easter Egg Hunt! Yay! Family time is the BEST!!!! Hope you get to spend your day with your loved ones!

Quickly before I head to church I want to share some of the gorgeous butterfly swaps I received and snapped photos of at last weeks' St Louis Stampin' Up! Regional.

Jane Linville:

Jessica Samuels:

Maureen Ma — (the rest of her name was missing from the back of this swap!)

And last but not least my dear friend and downline, Linda Reaney! She combined Papillion Potpourri stamped butterflies with Elegant Butterfly punches and Bitty Butterfly punches, then added "happy birthday" stamp from the Sneak Peek New Catalog Set we received at Leadership, Sketched Birthday!

That's it for today! Hope your day is filled with fun & family like mine will be! I have the Easter baskets, eggs, and candy all ready to go and most of my dinner is ready to put the finishing touches on when we get home from church, so it should also be relatively stress-free!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
