Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there. I've spent the past week cuddling the most adorable baby boy, Lando, and chasing and cuddling his big brother, Oakley! I'm so thankful and blessed! Right now I'm home for the long weekend, giving the little family some together time, but I will be going back on Monday evening to help out the rest of the week.

Since it's Sunday, it's time to share some swaps:

First, Laura Milligan used the largest phrase image from the Hello Life set, adding banners, white baker's twine, and a bit of gold sequin trim to give it a balloon look!

Stampin_up_hello_life

Next, Emily Tull combined Painted Petals Designer Paper with the single-image stamp Love is Kindess. She added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the blooms and "tied" a bit of Linen Thread around the newspaper wrapper.

Stampin_up_love_is_kindness

Third, Mary Ann Sedlacek chose one of the Cheerful Critters for her swap. She punched the top of the tag with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, added punched banners, and tied the ribbon from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack with a bit of Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker's Twine.

Finally, Jan Rodrian chose the Sale-a-bration set, Lotus Blossom, to create her swap. The Lotus Blossom set is photopolymer only, and is actually a THREE-STEP stamp set!

That's all for now. You can find all the supplies to create your version of any of today's samples in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

While you are there, be sure to check out the New Arrivals, Clearance Rack, and the Weekly Deals!

All online orders of any amount will receive a Thank-you Packet from me., including a project and instructions!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Returns!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Returns!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm nesting! No, I'm not nesting because I'm having a baby, but I'm in nesting mode because my daughter is now 3 days past her due date! I'm staying focused, working on getting my house back together from Christmas and working ahead on everything I can before baby Lando arrives!

Today I have some of the swaps I received in December to share with you. It was hard to choose which ones to show you first because they're ALL AWESOME!

First, Amy Combs used You Plus Me, Sweetheart Punch, Hearts Border Punch, Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack, Decorative Dots folder, Basic Black Chevron Ribbon, Real Red card stock, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and Project Life 4" x 3" Grid Cards for her crisp & clean Valentine:

Stampin_up_you_plus-me

Next, Audra Moncur used the Big Day stamp set with Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (choose one from the Sale-a-bration brochure as your free gift with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration, which starts next Tuesday, January 6th!)

Stampin_up_big_day_sab

Lastly, Barbara Dykhouse used the new Occasions set, Sheltering Tree with a bit of Regals Designer Series Paper and an Island Indigo button from the Regals Buttons package for her stunning creation:

Stampin_up_sheltering_tree

I have this set but haven't had a chance to play with it yet! Aaargh! I plan to play with it this coming week, unless of course, baby Lando decides to change my plans! I am getting SO EXCITED to get my hands on this little fellow!

That's all for now! The Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration start Tuesday, which will be the first day you can order the sets used for today's cards and can start choosing a free SAB item for every $50 you order! Whoo hoo!

Until tomorrow have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Blendabilities for Stephanie’s Wedding!

Stampin’ Up! Blendabilities for Stephanie’s Wedding!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there. Happy New Year! Did you kiss your sweetheart at midnight last night? I did! lol!

A dear friend of mine's only daughter was married during Thanksgiving weekend. I created this card for her gift:

Stampin_up_hearts_mask_hello_you_thinlets_1
Whisper White card base, layered with Blackberry Bliss, then Smokey Slate. I used the Hearts stencil from the Hearts & Stars Decorative Masks with a sponge dauber to add Silver Encore Metallic hearts. The Blackberry Bliss "happy" was cut with the new Hello You Thinlets Dies in the Occasions Catalog (available starting January 6!)

Adhering these skinny little words can be tricky. They are too thin and delicate for SNAIL or glue dots. Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue and a toothpick to the rescue!

Tombow on a toothpick - Copy

Stampin_up_big_news_1 - Copy

I stamped a sentiment from Big News in the Annual Catalog with Blackberry Bliss on the inside, then used the same Hearts mask to sponge more Silver Encore hearts.

Stampin_up_hearts_mask_1 - Copy

More hearts sponged lightly with Blackberry Bliss ink completed the envelope. I used a ready-made silver glimmery bow, coloring the center with my darkest Rich Razzleberry Blendability alcohol marker to match!

Stampin_up_rich_razzleberry_blendability - Copy

DANGER!!!!!Blendability markers on glimmer paper: the roughness of the glitter will FUZZ the tip of your Blendability! 

FORTUNATELY  for all of us, the Blendability markers are available to choose as your free item in the Sale-a-bration catalog! When I place my next $50 order on January 6, I will be able to choose a new set of Rich Razzleberry Blendabilites as my freebie! whoo hoo!

That's all for now. I'm going to do a little bit of Christmas-returns and shopping this afternoon, so I've got to fly!

Here's the supply list for Stephanie's card. Go to my online store to order: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Folded Chevron!

Stampin’ Up! Folded Chevron!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! We are heading home from Branson today. We've had a lovely time, but I'm ready to see our family!

Today's card is for September's Punch & Technique class. This is my version of the Folded Chevron technique I've seen several of:

Stampin_up_color_me_autumn_chevrons_1

This is an excellent technique to use up those little scraps of designer paper we all have! I chose to use a stamp from the Merry Everything set, punched with the new Note Tag Punch. I pulled Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, and Crushed Curry from the  Color Me Autumn Designer Paper I used for the folded Chevrons.

Stampin_up_gifts_of_kindness
Inside I used stamps from the Gifts of Kindness set, colored with the same Stampin' Write markers that I used on the outside image.

Like this one? A tutorial and card using this technique will be included in one of the September Fall tutorials I will be revealing on September 15th during the September Stamper's Dozen Blog hop! This tutorial will be part of my new Bluesox Rewards program for online orders beginning that day, so be sure to come back and check it all out!

Although I am revealing the new Bluesox Rewards program on Sept. 15, your online orders with me now will be eligible for the program!

Here's the supply list for today's card. When you are ready to place your order you can go to my online store by clicking here:www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, Fall is Almost Here!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there. It's Sunday Swap Day, and I have some fun swaps to share made with new Holiday Catalog stuff!

First, Jackie Ordway used the For All Things set with Color Me Autumn Designer Paper and an Autumn Wooden Element:

Stampin_up_for_all_things_2

Emily Tull used Color Me Autumn paper with For All Things, Gold Basic Metal Buttons, Autumn Accents Bigz Die and new Note Tag Punch:

Stampin_up_for_all_things_1

Cathy Stephenson used Freaky Friends, Ghoulish Greetings, and Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper for her spooky creation:

Stampin_up_4

Cathy got double-duty from one little strip of designer paper for both the outside and inside, then finished with a sentiment from Mingle All the Way:

Stampin_up_halloween_6

Finally, Susie Wood used the same Mingle All the Way sentiment with the bat from Project Life Holiday Cheer and Back to Black Designer Paper:

Stampin_up_halloween_2

These are just a few of the Holiday Catalog swaps I received this month! I almost wish it was Sunday again tomorrow so I could show you more, and maybe I will!
