Stampin’Up! Stampin’ Glitter Pumpkin!

Posted on September 27, 2013 by Carol Payne

I spent the day shopping with two of my three daughters, Jessica & Alisa. Tomorrow is Jessica's birthday, but she will be shooting a wedding so I won't get to see her. I intended to take my camera with me today to at least get a picture of us together, but rats, I ran out of the house this morning without it! Hopefully when we have our family get-to-gether on Sunday for her birthday I will get a few pics to share with you then!

I've been seeing some really gorgeous cards made with the Stampin' Glitter in the Holiday Catalog, so I decided to have a go at creating with it myself! This is tonight's creation:

I started by adhering a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet from the Annual Catalog to Very Vanilla cardstock. I then punched with the Extra-Large Oval punch three times. After removing the remaining protective cover to expose the adhesive, I then laid the ovals in a coffee filter and sprinkled them heavily with the Orange Stampin' Glitter. I pressed the glitter firmly into the adhesive with my fingers before tapping off the excess. I removed the glitter that wanted to cling to the backside of the ovals so I could assemble my pumpkin with Stampin' Dimensionals. I then adhered my pumpkin to the Early Espresso Core'dinations layer that I had embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder and my Big Shot. I also lightly sanded the woodgrain to bring out more of the texture. The card base and the Bird Builder-punched leaves are Always Artichoke. "Thinking of You" is from Wetlands, stamped in Early Espresso on a scrap of Venetian Romance Designer Paper that I then cut out with one of the Circle Card Thinlet Dies. For the four-petal flower on the word banner I punched the leftover cardstock from punching the ovals to punch with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack 4-petal flower. I added the Pearl Basic Jewel before I added the glitter.

I decided I needed for this to be a get well card, so I used a phrase from the tried-and-true set, Thoughts and Prayers. The flower spray is from the same set. I added more glittered flowers and leaves in the lower corner to finish everything off!

Tip: When working with any of our Stampin' Glitters, you will need to remove any excess glitter from your project once you are done or it will end up with "glitter scatter", as you can see in my sample above. A few quick swipes with a Swiffer cloth should do the trick nicely!

That's all for now! I'm all tuckered out from our shopping day. Did I mention that two of my grandbabies, Jaxon and Oakley, went with us? I had fun with my daughters and my grandson! yay!

To create your own glittered pumpkins you can order the supplies from my Online Store. The link to my Online Store is over there on the top right side of my blog. Place an order, receive a hand-stamped thank you from me and Bluesox Rewards if your order is $25 or more!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Fall Thankfulness!

Posted on September 14, 2013 by Carol Payne

Wow, what a FUN day I've had, stamping, laughing, and sharing with good friends!

Since I've spent my day stamping away but working on class kits for club members who were unable to attend this month, I do not have anything new to show you, so I'm relying on my stash of monthly swaps for today's post!

Laura Milligan created this card using the Pretty Print Textured Impressions Folder and the Harvest of Thanks stamp set. Laura used the new Deco Label Framelits to cut out the turkey image. I especially lke the way she spritzed (or splattered) the Early Espresso reinker over it as a finshing touch!

Megan Wheeler did a beautiful job on her card using one of the Expressions Thinlets Dies and Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper!

And finally, Rhonda Bassler used the Pretty Print folder and Harvest of Thanks stamps with Sweater Weather Designer Paper. I love how there are so many different designs in each pack of paper, you can always find something to coordinate perfectly on your project! A bit of Burlap 1 1/4" Ribbon, a leaf cut from the Autumn Accents Die, and a greeting cut with an Itty Bitty Banners Framelit add texture and interest. Rhonda also cut out the "HARVEST of Blessings" image with an Apothercary Accents Framelit.

Stampin’Up! Reinker Blowing Technique with Magnificent Maple!

Posted on September 13, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hello! I know I'm really late posting today, but I had the first session of my SWOW/Christmas Card Class today and I'm just now getting time to post!

However, you are in for a real treat, because I had some time to play this evening while my last stamper was here (hey, Natasha!) and I made THIS:

I'm really excited about it! I LOVE it! I used the Reinker Blowing Technique to layer the fall colors for my leaf: Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive.

To do the Reinker Blowing Technique all you need are Classic Ink refills in your colors of choice and a common, ordinary drinking straw! I started with my Tangerine Tango reinker first. I put a couple of drops (enough to make a reinker "puddle") on the Very Vanilla cardstock in the lower third, then immediately started blowing the reinker across the cardstock with the straw. The reinker will stream across the cardstock pretty much any way it wants, but you can direct it a little with the direction and force of your blowing. (Don't blow too much for too long without taking a break or you might get light-headed. Ask me how I know this. ha!) I repeated the process with Crushed Curry, then Rich Razzleberry, and finally with Old Olive. After the I had blown all the colors across the cardstock once, I then added & blew more drops of color wherever I felt like needed more of that color. The cardstock on the above left shows approximately what the blown reinker looks like. The leaf on the right is after I cut it out with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die and then sponged Chocolate Chip ink on all the edges. I actually used the backside of the leaf instead of the front because the backside had more of the Tangerine Tango color in the center as you can see in the picture below:

I used the new set, Lots of Thanks, from the Annual Catalog for my greeting and inside sentiment. I stamped them in Chocolate Chip, as well as the Magnificent Maple stamp all around the edges of the Very Vanilla layer. My card base is Chocolate Chip with a Cajun Craze layer under the Very Vanilla layer. After stamping all the maple leaves around the edges I ran it through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder, then sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip ink.

I cut the banner around the "thank you" greeting with one of the new Circle Card Framelit Dies. I dirtied up the Summer Starfruit 3/8" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon with Chocolate Chip ink before tying in a bow and adding a Vintage Trinket safety pin!

Inside I stamped the Magnificent Maple around the edges of the Very Vanilla layer with Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Chocolate Chip before adding a bit more Chocolate Chip sponging all around!

Well, I'm yawning my head off, so I'd better close and head to bed!

Stampin’ Up! Zoo Babies!

Posted on August 17, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Another baby card for you today, this time with the Zoo Babies stamp set. This card is another from my monthly swap group, but I can't remember who made this one!

This one is pretty basic, just stamp and punch, stamp and punch, stamp and punch with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch. (ALWAYS stamp FIRST, then punch!) Next layer onto Baked Brown Sugar 1 3/8" Circles. The "congratualtions" in included in the set, how convenient!

Inside, more stamped Zoo Babies, then a verse from Cuddles & Kisses, and you are done!

Oh, and the card base and ribbon is Strawberry Slush, making this card perfect for either a boy or a girl!

That's all for now. I'm getting ready to go to a family reunion this afternoon at Lincoln, IL. Three hours in the truck each way gives me lots of time to work on some things I've had waiting for my attention for awhile! So nice my hubby prefers to drive!

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

Stampin’Up! Perfect Blend is Perfect!

Posted on August 5, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Monday morning! Today is my day to design my SWOW and my Christmas Card Classes for this month! I will be keeping Liam the rest of the week starting tomorrow afternoon, so I need to get my creative work done today so all I have to do is cut paper and play with him the rest of the week! If all goes well today I should have some new ideas to show you tomorrow!

Until then, I finally got a chance yesterday to photograph and categorize the swaps my downline swaped at convention for me. It still seems weird that I missed the biggest Stampin' Up! Convention ever, but I know it was for the best and that I was where God wanted me to be, so I'm o.k. with it.

Today's swaps were created with the Perfect Blend stamp set. I have a confession: I don't own this set. Shocker, I know, as I probably do have 80% of the sets in the catalog. (Hey, I get alot of them free with Hostess Benefits, Title Benefits, Sale-a-bration Benefits, Annual Awards, and Incentives!) So I was really glad to get a few samples using it.

Lorraine Duran created this one with Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso. I love how the Crumb Cake vertical strip was textured with the Square Lattice folder to give it the look of the cardboard cozies they put around the cups when you buy them in the airport!

The only thing I can tell you about the creator of this swap is that her name is "crazycatstamper", but I really like the way she paired Pool Party, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Soft Suede together. She used the Square Lattice folder on the cup cozie section this time, and added some bling with an edge of Clear Dazzling Details along the edge of the black oval. You can't tell in this picture, but she also added Crystal Effects to the cup lid to give it a "plastic" effect!

The last card in my Perfect Blend collection was created by Beverlee Morales. Beverlee chose a more feminine route with her choices of Early Espresso & Whisper White, with a dash of Melon Mambo Gingham Garden Designer Paper for the cups, Silver Glimmer Paper for the scallop border, Tea Lace Doily, and a Simply Pressed Clay flower! Seems like the Square Lattice folder is a natural to use with this set. Beverlee used it to emboss the Whisper White layer!

That's all for now! I've got to get busy stamping! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Chalk Talk Swap!

Posted on July 13, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning and Happy Saturday! Today is the second day of my SWOW Class and Christmas Card Class! Yay!

Today I have a swap to share with you made with the Chalk Talk Bundle, which contains both the Chalk Talk stamp set and the Chalk Talk Framelits to cut them out. Each is sold separately, of course, but when you purchase them as a bundle you save 15%!

The colors in this swap are Coastal Cabana (I know it photographed the retired Bashful Blue, but it IS Coastal Cabana!) Basic Black, and Very Vanilla. Modern Medley Designer Paper is the vertical strip on the side, with a tiny bit of a Basic Black Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border peeking out. The Coastal Cabana layer has been embossed with the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Folder, and the Coastal Cabana "flourish" tag has been cut out with the Chalk Talk Framelits. The "for you" has been punched with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch, then layered on a Basic Black 1 3/8"-punched circle. Basic Jewel Rhinestones that have been colored with a Black Sharpie give tis card a little "bling"!

That's all for now! Thanks for stopping by! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
