Stampin’ Up! Little Sunshine Sophie for Taylor!

Stampin’ Up! Little Sunshine Sophie for Taylor!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I was waiting until today to post this card I created last week to go with a baby gift I sent with my downline, Linda, to give to her new grandbaby, Taylor, who is scheduled to be born in Georgia TODAY!!!!

Taylor's mommy had chosen a Sophie squeeze toy on her gift registry, so I purchased that (and a Sophie teether and book!), then created this giraffe from punches and a framelit!

Stampin_up_little_sunshine_1 - Copy

The card base is a standard 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" and 8 1/4".

Stampin_up_little_sunshine_2 - Copy

I used Natural White and Crisp Cantaloupe to match Sophie.

Stampin_up_little_sunshine_3 - Copy

I used stamps from the Little Sunshine set for the greetings.

Stampin_up_little_sunshine_2 - Copy

Sophie's neck is just a 3/4" wide straight piece of Naturals White, adhered to the card front with Fast Fuze adhesive, then scored by hand to match the folds of the card.

Stampin_up_little_sunshine_4 - Copy

 I've seen several versions of a punched giraffe before, but each one is just a little bit different depending on the supplies available!

Stampin_up_little_sunshine_6 - Copy

I used the hangar framelit from the Baby's First Framelit Dies to make Sophie's tail and her antlers:

Stampin’ Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog and A Little Liam!

Stampin’ Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog and A Little Liam!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've not forgot about my blog, really I haven't! I've just had a take a little "break" since right before Thanksgiving. Things have been so much crazier busy than usual! I came down with a cold and a sinus infection right after Thanksgiving, which put me out of commission for a couple of days. This week has been non-stop, with something going on every evening and quite a bit of somethings thrown in during the day. It's all good, but whew!

Wednesday I was able to go with 7 of my downline, the Yes, Mam! Stampers, to Fenton, MO for the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Kick-off. I can't show you much from the Sneak Peeks we got to see, but I can show you the covers of both Catalogs!

Spring 2015 Occasions (you can purchase the kit to make this bouquet starting January 6!)

544960_10152404641496813_3119645763457038649_n

And Sale-a-bration:

10846496_10152404641031813_1570595617708062896_n

If you have purchased from me in the past year you should receive a copy of these in your mailbox in just a few weeks!

Both catalogs go live for customers on January 6th, so you only have a month to wait to start ordering! Let me assure you, you are going to LOVE the products to purchase from the Occasions and are going to want to get ALL of the free items from the Sale-a-bration catalog! I made my first pre-order from the Occasions Catalog this morning and earned  a few,  "wink, wink" Sale-a-bration items. I can't wait to start creating and sharing new ideas with you!

You probably should check out my website right away. Stampin' Up! has posted new items on our Clearance Rack for our Year-End Closeout!

That's all for now. I have a party tomorrow morning AND a craft/vendor fair tomorrow afternoon and evening. Sunday is our rescheduled November birthdays gathering and then Monday I have my last party of 2014. After that I can get serious about my present wrapping and finishing up my shopping!

Before I go, I just have to share with you a little bit of Liam from a few days ago. He loves to stack things. He stacks my clear blocks quite a bit, but the other day he stacked these:

Liam's stack November 2014

Not too shabby, considering the stack started at his shoulders and ended higher than his head! He's my little buddy!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Festival of Trees, Part 1!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Festival of Trees, Part 1!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday! yay! My stack of Festival of Trees swaps from Founder's is BIG, so I'm going to start sharing a few of them with you today!

We'll start off with this lovely by Laurie Krauss. Laurie combined images from Festival of Trees, Wonderful Wreath, and Christmas Bliss with All is Calm Designer Specialty Paper and the On Point Textured Impressions folder. She added the perfect touch with tiny Silver Glimmer stars punched with the Confetti Stars Punch!

Stampin_up_festival_of_trees_1

Next, Aly Schilling created this super-cute-but-super-easy Festival of Trees swap, adding Santa & Co. Designer Washi Tape, a greeting from Sassy Salutations, and a Gold Glimmer star!

Stampin_up_festival_of_trees_2

Third in our line-up today, Laura Milligan created a vintage-inspired look with Very Vanilla, Soft Sky, and Crumb Cake. She embossed with the Lucky Stars folder, added a bit of Venetian Crochet Trim, and finished off with a Gold Glimmer star!

Stampin_up_festival_of_trees_3

Finally for today, Winona Semler went very clean-and-simple, using just Festival of Trees, On Point folder, and a Silver Glimmer Star!

Stampin’ Up! Banner Punch Sunflower!

Stampin’ Up! Banner Punch Sunflower!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Punch & Technique Class was yesterday! I will be posting the projects we made on the 15th for Stampers Dozen Blog Hop. Today I'm sharing the binder cover club members made to reference their class instructions:

Stampin_up_punch_binder_1 - Copy

We used the Banner, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle, and 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punches to create the sunflower.

Starting with a Baked Brown Sugar base, we layered 2 Lullaby Designer Series Paper designs. A Decorative Dots-embosed strip of Baked Brown Sugar covered the seam.

We matted the pre-printed title with Coastal Cabana.

Stampin_up_punch_binder_2 - Copy

We sponged Baked Brown Sugar on the embossed scallop circles and Hello Honey on the Hello Honey banners, adhering them to the circles with SNAIL. We anchored them with Stampin' Dimensionals. Stampin_up_punch_binder_3 - Copy
Starting with 8" of Burlap Ribbon, we separated the threads. We looped three together, tied a knot at the end, then adhered to the flower  back with Glue Dots. We added three groups of Mossy Meadow  "leaves" before adhering with all those lovely dimensionals!

Stampin_up_punch_binder_4 - Copy

Only club members made the binder. I AM still taking new club members, so if you would like to join, contact me for full details. You can join even if you live long distance. I will ship you the class packets, including the binder cover, which are free with the minimum $25 order each month.

Here's the supply list to find everything in my Online Store:

Stampin’ Up! Owl Graduate by Donna!

Stampin’ Up! Owl Graduate by Donna!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm still up after midnight, so I'm going to do a quick post and then head off to bed!

One of my dear stamping friends, Donna, came to my Birthday Card Buffet this past Saturday. Donna has been stamping with me since probably 2005, over 9 years ago, and during that time has become a really good friend.

Donna stamps ALOT. She has a good portion of her basement outfitted for her stamping domain. We have a monthly stamp camp there and we love it!

Donna made this special graduation card for her niece who just graduated from college:

Stampin_up_owl_builder_graduation_1
Isn't this just adorable????!!!!

Donna used the Owl Builder Punch, the Scalloped Oval Punch, and a few other elements to create her graduating birdie!

Stampin_up_owl_builder_graduation_2

She hand-cut the pieces for the graduation cap, and custom-dyed the Baker's Twine to get the rich red color for the tassel.

Stampin_up_owl_builder_punch_graduation_3
Stamped-off Smoky Slate was used to stamp the "celebrate" background. I love this extra little touch that adds so much to the specialness of this card!

That's all for now! I've got to put myself to bed.

You can find many of the supplies to make this card in my Online Store.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
