Stampin’Up! Punch Class Graduation Owl!

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Carol Payne

I've been working on the projects for Punch/Technique Class this month and found inspiration for an adorable graduation card somewhere on the web, but right now I can't remember who. If you know who came up with this cutie patootie, let me know so I can give them credit! Lookie:

An okay card from this side, kind of plain, but a pretty good representation of a graduation cap, (the "happy graduation" is from "Teeny Tiny Wishes") but the real fun starts when you turn it over:

Then open the box-like folds:

TAA-DAAA!!!!!

Purty cute, dontcha think???? His nose is the heart that is part of the Owl Builder Punch, his wings are from the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch cut down with the Paper Snips, and his cap is a rectangle that starts out 1" x 1 1/2", is scored at 1/2" and 3/4" on two sides with the Simply Scored, then hand-trimmed with the Paper Snips. The cap base is from the Petite Pennants Builder Punch then hand-trimmed with the Paper Snips. A tassel of White Baker's Twine and the 1/2" Circle Punch finish the cap off perfectly!

That's it for today! I have to finish Kimberly's baby shower thank-you's before her next shower this afternoon! I'm stamping and assembling them, SHE is actually writing the thank-you notes! Oh, and I need show you the decorations from her shower this past Sunday, don't I?

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

Stampin’Up! Summer Smooches!

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Carol Payne

Good Morning Monday! Did you enjoy your Easter Weekend? We sure did! After church yesterday morning we had a fun family day at our house with just about everyone in our family, including Mark's Mom! Big Sunday dinner (a ham!), Easter Egg Hunt outside (it was a cool but not cold day!), all of us girls played dominos with Mark's Mom (one of her favorite games), watched Maddie Kate do toe-touches and backflips in the yard while the other kids swinged (or is it swang?) in the tree swings in our yard, played and loved on Jaxon, our littlest grandson (littlest one for now!), played a family kickball game (we have enough people to field two teams and everyone played, except Kimberly, who is 5 1/2 months pregnant, and Jaxon), a pull-everything back out of the fridge for supper meal, then played a new game, "Dicecapades"!

On Saturday I finished up the rest of the projects for the Punch and Technique Classes this week. Here's a punch one using products from Stampin' Up!'s April Sneak Peek, Summer Smooches!

Stampin’Up! Owl Builder Punch Overalls!

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Carol Payne

Happy Tuesday Stampers! Sunday afternoon, Kimberly & I started figuring out the invitations for her baby shower in May. Her colors for the baby's room (a boy! but he doesn't have a name yet) are Basic Black, Basic Gray, Cherry Cobbler and White. Come to think of it, her whole house is almost all this color too, so she really must love it! As soon as we decided to use these colors for her shower invitation, I knew exactly what I wanted to do, adorable little overalls made from the vest of the Owl Builder Punch!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

Aren't they adorable????!!!!!!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

The clouds are from "Send Me Soaring" in the Occasions Mini, the clothesline is Cherry Cobbler/White Baker's Twine, and the pockets are from the 1/4" Square Punch (now retired), but you could substitute the squares that are cut out with the Candywrapper Die. The tiny heart pocket is also from the Owl Builder Punch.

The overalls are punched from Basic Black cardstock, Cherry Cobbler Patterns Designer Paper, and Twitterpated Designer Paper. I used my Paper Snips to cut the little "v" in the bottom edge of the punched vest to create the legs of the overalls.

We have made 75 of these, which will be going out in the mail next week after she gets her baby registry set up.

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" day!

Stampin’ Up! Blossom Punch Strikes Again!

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Carol Payne

I really am in love with my Blossom Punch from the Occasions Mini! I love it so much I actually own three! I've been really using it at just about every workshop these past few months, as my stampers are crazy for it too! Here's another cool idea with this punch, using it to create "negative space" on your card!

Although this card looks "fussy", it actually turned out to be a pretty CAS (Clean-and-Simple) card for my stampers at the White Street church last night, so I think I will do it again at my next workshop! We used the Blossom Punch (of course!), and the Boho Blossoms Punch. I love the idea of using the "negative space" created after the punched piece is removed, and then in the case of the inside of the card, stamping in the negative space:

It made me laugh to add the "no matter what" to the admonishment on the front to "Get Well", which are stamps from the Petite Pairs and Perfectly Penned sets. I think if I received a card like this one I would know that I had no other option except to get well, wouldn't you?????

Well, I have to get ready, it's "workout" day at Jessica's and I have to be there before 8 a.m.! (yes, it's official, I DO MOVE!)

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox! Day!"

Stampin’ Up! Bird Builder Punch Treat Holder!

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Carol Payne

I try to not blog surf too much (however, I'm sure we each have our own definition of "too much" lol!) However, there are a handful of blogs that I visit regularly because they either are constantly inspiring & teaching me, or they are a resource "jumping off place" that can't be beat!

Today, I did a bit of "jumping off" and found this treat holder by UK Stampin' Up! Demo Michelle Last. She is an uber-successful demo, having achieved #1 Demonstrator in the UK two years running! Here is my version of her treat holder:

Isn't this cute little chick adorable? He is made with the Bird Builder Punch and with just a little bit of punching modification he is transformed into a chickie!

I used the soon-to-be-retired-forever Hostess Set, Precious Butterflies, and used Lucky Limeade cardstock and Wisteria Wonder 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon.

I will be offering this treatholder at my next few workshops this month, but if you are either impatient or have no hope of attending one of my events you can go to Michelle's blog and watch her video of how she made the holder and the chickie:

I plan to have a downloadable tutorial for printing available in a few days, so check back!
