Stampin’Up! Harvest Blessings Birthday!

Posted on June 29, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! Today I am headed to my Aunt & Uncle's 60th Anniversary Celebration! I am also taking three of my grandkids with me; Ava, Cohen, and Jaxon! I am excited to show them off to relatives I rarely get to see! It's about a 3 hour drive north to Hartsburg, Illinois (and a 3 hour drive back!) so it's a big day ahead of us!

Today I want to show you this card we made at my "Best Of" class yesterday, using Harvest Blessings, Best of Birthdays, and the water drops stamp from the My Paper Pumpkin Try-it Kit! This is a 4 1/4" square card. I like to use this size sometimes just to do something a little different from the regular 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"!

All products used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The card base is Baked Brown Sugar, layered with Marina Mist, then Soft Sky. All stamping and sponging was done with Baked Brown Sugar (isn't that just the YUMMIEST name?) ink and we added a Baked Brown Sugar Candy Dot in the lower right corner. This was my first time using a Candy Dot, and I think I'm in love! They are so easy to lift off the packaging with a Paper Piercing Tool, and simple to apply with the adhesive already on them! FUN!

After stamping and sponging we also embossed the top layer with the Chevron Textured Impressions Folder. I think it gives the look and feel of tractor-tire tread, what do you think?

Finally, on the inside we stamped with a phrase from the Bring On the Cake stamp set, along with the pumpkin/apple basket stamp and the "you are the seed . . ." stamp from Harvest Blessings.

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

Happy Father’s Day! Secret Garden Masked Corners Re-visited!

Posted on June 16, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy Father's Day! I'm sure many of you will be preparing a meal, or get-together for the fathers in your life, so I will make this a quick post!

My dad passed away 19 years ago. I still miss him and think of him often. He was a great Dad and an even GREATER grandpa! Just ask my oldest three: Jessica, Kimberly, and Troy, they will tell you Grandpa Wall was the BEST!

Yesterday I prepped for my workshops this coming week. One of them is a monthly class/club, so I see several of the same stampers every month. Last month they picked THIS CARD from my display to do this month. Two of the ink colors, all of the word stamps, and the ribbon retired on May 31, so I re-worked the card using all current products:

What do you think? I kept the Secret Garden stamps and Framelits Collection, then substituted Blushing Bride for Pretty in Pink, Pear Pizzazz for Lucky Limeade, Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon for Certainly Celery ribbon, and a phrase from Best of Greetings instead of the retired Friendly Phrases.

Inside I switched out the Beautiful Birthday stamp (one of my all-time favs) for one of the stamps from the new Million & One set (which is quickly becoming a NEW fav of mine)!

Well,I still have some things to prep and gather together for the day! It's church first, of course, then grilling out at Jessica's, swimming, (maybe a nap, who knows?), and generally hanging out with the entire family the rest of the day! I can't wait!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Open Sea for Father’s Day!

Posted on June 11, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Today I want to show you the third card we made at SWOW Class this month, a masculine card using the Open Sea stamp set, inspired by Tami White!

LOTS of Direct-to-Paper stamping! And can you see the Epic Day This and That Washi Tape?

Inside my stampers had the option to add the "DAD" letters or leave blank for a personal message. I LOVE the old ledger-style designs in the Epic Day This and That Designer Paper!

We did some gradient-color stamping with a stamp from Clockworks that has hidden "seagull" images! We started with Soft Sky ink, then stamped with Pool Party, then finished with Island Indigo! After stamping the ship image with Jet Black StazOn, we re-whitened the ships' sails with a White Gel Pen.

The background layer of Epic Day This and That Designer Paper was embossed with the Chevron folder, then sponged with Pool Party to make the design pop!

That's all for today! I have another workshop to get ready for this evening, so I will be busy! Hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Clockworks for the Guys!

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! It's raining here this morning, which does NOT make my farmer hubbby happy. They still have some planting to do that has been rain-delayed for quite some time, and this mornings' moisture is extending the delay more. But they will find something productive to do, so the day will not be wasted, just frustrating!

Today begins my four-workshops-in-five-days week! Eeeek! I've designed a couple of cards that I think will work for just about all of them all week. You saw the first one yesterday, the Happy Day "smile" card. Today's card is a masculine birthday/father's day one using Clockworks. I've designed and prepped the packets for this card so the stamper can choose to either create a birthday or a Father's Day card:

Since the Clockworks set lends itself so easily to a "collage stamping" look, I kept the layers to a minimum. The card base is the yummy new Baked Brown Sugar, stamped with Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar, and Early Espresso. The Early Espresso banner is embossed with the Argyle Textured Impressions Folder, and the sentiment is from Best of Birthdays. We are adding a Naturals Designer Button with a little bit of Early Espresso Baker's Twine for the finishing touch!

Inside we are stamping a phrase from the fun new Hostess Set, Express Yourself. This is the phrase I have chosen to go with this birthday card, but there are several other phrases (love you, celebrate, amazing you, best wishes) that would work just as well!

The Father's Day card is similar in design, we will just use the "hey there, friend" stamp from the My Paper Pumpkin Try It kit. We will omit the "friend" word by inking up with an Early Expresso Stampin' Write Marker, then we will add in the "DAD" with a stamp created with the photopolymer set, Designer Type! The splatter stamp is also from the MPP Try It kit. While the monthly kits are only available when you subscribe by the 10th of each month, the Try It kit is available for purchase at any time, so you CAN still get these two cute and versatile stamps! Go to My Paper Pumpkin to order your kit today!

Inside another Hostess Set, Banner Greetings!

I also have a stepped-up version of these cards with more layers and lots of sponging:

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

Stampin’ Up! Sparkly Window Sheet & Brayer Tapping!

Posted on April 26, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I'm getting really excited! Just two more sleeps before I leave for Fiji! I can't wait! My first trip out of the country where I will actually SLEEP on foreign soil! (well, I guess I have slept in Canada, but it was years ago when I was on vacation with my parents, and Canada is just the "Northern Version" of America, so it hardly counts as foreign!)I'm not packed yet, but am a bit worried how I'm going to get everything stuffed into one suitcase with a 50 lb limit and one 15 lb. carryon! The airline is allowing one free checked back under 50 lbs, but another bag will cost $5 per pound! Yikes! Stampin' Up! always gives us great pillow gifts, so I am packing an extra medium-sized duffle to check going home just in case!

I know you didn't come here to learn about my travel packing woes, you came here to see some fun projects, and I don't think you will be disappointed!

Please note: all products used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless stated otherwise.

First up, a cute masculine card created by Kathy Stephenson using a technique she calls "brayer tapping" with the Dapper Dad stamp set!

The wedding card created bySherri Beyrer using a Window Sheet, Creped Filter Paper, and Shimmer Paint with the Love & Laughter and Mr & Mrs stamp sets:

This card is even more sparkly, iridescent, and shimmery in real life than the picture can show! I love it!

Well, that's all for today! I have my "Best of" class here at my house this afternoon, then I must finish the preparations for the Fundraiser/Vendor Fair at the Lutheran Church in Nashville, IL for tomorrow!

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Fan Fair Birthday!

Posted on April 6, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! My classes start this afternoon at 1 p.m., so I just have enough time to share on of my creations for "CampJustWannaStamp"! I used Riding Hood Red cardstock (which is retiring, so if you need some you'd better place your order this weekend while we have FREE SHIPPING, because when the supply is gone it will be gone forever!) I also used Curly Cute and Collage Curios stamps, and Fan Fair Designer Paper:

A quick and easy card that you could even make masculine if you leave off the Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding bow!

The banner strips on the front were pretty simple, just 3/4" x 5" strips of designer paper that I snipped up the center of each one with my Paper Snips, then cut in from each corner to the center to create the banner ends. Since they all started out the same length I layered them like this with SNAIL on the front:

Then flipped the card over and trimmed the paper strips above the top of the card even with my Paper Snips:

That's all for today! Hope your day Stampingrox! like mine will! I'll be stamping with my friends, a sweet day!

As I mentioned earlier, today is the first of three days of FREE SHIPPING from Stampin' Up! ALL ORDERS of anything from Stampin' UP! placed today, tomorrow, and Monday!
