Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! I'm back from church and everything is put away and cleaned up from Sunday dinner, so I've got a bit of time to share with you some Sunday Swaps. These samples are from an online group I'm a part of, and no one expects any credit for their creation since we are all sharing with each other to use for events or online, so here goes!

First, a lovely use of the SAB set, Lotus Blossom, stamped over a lightly-stamped Dictionary Background, mounted on a Cherry Cobbler layer, then a layer embossed with the Beautifully Baroque folder.

Next, a couple of ideas using the From the Herd Occasions Catalog set:

Stampin_up_from_the_herd_1

This one showcases how quickly you can add color with just a few swipes of the Aqua Painter and some ink refills. They coordinated the water coloring with Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, and Crisp Cantaloupe Thick Baker's Twine.

Stampin_up_from_the_herd_2

This sample using the free-with-a-$50-order Big Day stamp set also uses Irresistibly Yours Designer Paper colored with Pink Pirouette ink (the DSP is another item you can choose for free with your $50 order), and the glitzy Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim.

Stampin_up_big_day_2

This idea combines the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets Dies, Birthday Bash Designer Paper, and the Bow Builder Punch.  Purchase these three items and you will definitely have an order large enough to get the Big Day set for free!

This Snuggles & Smooches card would be a sweet girly baby card!

Stampin_up_snuggles_and_smooches

Lastly, this sample combines Crisp Cantaloupe with its' darker color friend, Calypso Coral. The bloom from Crazy About You is easily punched with the Flower Medallion Punch, and the greeting is from the free SAB set, Simply Wonderful.

That's all for now. I'm going to be sending out my newsletter this week, which will contain more stamping inspiration that includes a couple of instructional handouts. Only my newsletter subscribers will receive these ideas!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Lotus Blossom!

Stampin’ Up! Lotus Blossom!

Hey there! It's another FREEZING cold day here, but that can be said for much of the U.S., can't it? Last night I got to stamp with a lovely group of ladies that I love. Their group is not actually a club, because we keep having new stampers coming every month, but their event is a Mystery Hostess Stamp Camp!

Here's how it works:

Each stamper brings a finger food of their choice to the event. (if they can't bring a snack that's o.k. too) Everyone has the choice to either pay the flat $10 stamp camp fee or place an order of at least $30 to stamp the 4 cards for free. Everyone who places an order gets their name in a drawing to see who gets the Host Benefits from the combined total of the night's orders. Whoever was the hostess the month before is excluded from the drawing, even though they usually place an order anyway.

It works out pretty well; everyone seems to be happy and has a great time stamping, snacking, and visiting!

Here's one of the cards we made last night. This was inspired by a Leadership swap:
Stampin_up_lotus_blossom_1 - Copy
I just realized as I was adding my watermark to these pictures that it is out-of-date. It's 2015, isn't it? I've been so involved with my grandbabies that I haven't had time to think about my watermark date! Guess this goes on my "to do" list for next week!

Stampin_up_lotus_blossom_2 - Copy

This set, Lotus Blossom, is one of the sets you can choose from the Sale-a-bration brochure when you place a $50 order. About half of the stampers placing orders last night chose this set for their freebie!

That's all for now. If you would like to choose this set for your $50 order freebie, just go to my online store to place your order: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

Here's your shopping list for today's card:

 

 Don't forget, all orders of any amount placed in my online store will receive a Thank-you Project Packet in the mail from me!

Until tomorrow, which is Sunday Swap Day, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there. I've been helping Kimberly with baby Darcy, so my weeks have just been flying!

I tried this  post yesterday on Sunday afternoon, but unfortunately my daughter lives way out in the "sticks" so her internet is crummy. Now it's Monday morning when her internet is at its' best, so we'll see!

First, an elegant swap from Teri Wells. Teri used  Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, and Soft Sky with touches of Whisper White for her swap:

Stampin_up_something_lacy_1

Up close you can see the detail from the Something Lacy background stamp, as well as the White Jute Ribbon and Sahara Sand 7/8" Lace Trim:

Stampin_up_something_lacy_2

Here's the shopping list for Teri's card. Click on any image and you can go to my online store to order:

Next a masculine card using Guy Greetings from Lorraine Duran:

Stampin_up_guy_greetings_3

Up close the Rhinestones Basic Jewels were colored with the darkest of the Skin Tone Blendabilities:

Stampin_up_guy_greetings_4

Here's the supply list to shop in my online store:

Banner Punch

$12.95

Lastly, another masculine card by Denise Sullivan:

Stampin_up_guy_greetings_1

I love all the pattern choices in the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack, and the Basic Metal Button and thread pulled from the 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon give this card an "Industrial" look:

Stampin_up_guy_greetings_2

 Shopping list for my online store:

 

Glue Dots

$4.95

 

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

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day on Sunday Night!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day on Sunday Night!

Hey there! Things have been really busy around here for what seems like forever, but tomorrow it's going to get even busier because Miss Darcy is coming! yay!

Tomorrow morning at approximately 7:30 a.m, Miss Darcy Anne Jenkins is scheduled to make her debut! We are all excited, as well as a bit anxious. A c-section, while routine, is a serious surgery. We will all be breathing a prayer of thanks when mommy and  baby are safe and sound.

While we are waiting, and hoping to get a little bit of sleep before setting off for the hospital pre-6 a.m., how about a few swaps?

Ruth Bingle created her swap with the Big Day Sale-a-bration set using the Frosted Window technique:

Stampin_up_big_day_2

The "frosted window" is created with clear packing tape over the punched circle, then sprinkling the sticky side with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Stampin_up_big_day_4

Next, Cathy Stephenson used Butterfly Basics, punching the Bitty Butterfly from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, which is on sale through Monday, February 9!

Stampin_up_butterfly_basics

Raedean Shibata used Balloon Framelits with Celebrate Today to create a stunning anniversary card. She punched the edge with the Confetti Stars Border Punch, adding Silver Foil paper behind the stars for more shine.

Stampin_up_celebrate_today_1

Inside is finished with a banner from Celebrate Today and A Dozen Thoughts sentiment.

Stampin_up_celebrate_today_2

Finally, Jackie Ordway used Something Borrowed Designer Paper and a phrase from the For the New Two for her elegant wedding card. The Something Borrowed Embellishment is found on page 42 of the Occasions Catalog.

Stampin_up_for_the_new_two_1

That's all for now. The next time you visit I should have some Darcy pictures to share, as well as a few more swaps!

Here's a supply list of the main supplies used for todays' swaps you can order from my online store: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

All orders of any amount will receive a Thank-you project packet from me. Since I will be staying with Miss Darcy for at least a couple of weeks I will be a bit slow in getting Thank-you packets in the mail this month (I still have some January ones to do too!) but please be patient, I WILL send them!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
