Stampin’ Up! Snow Day Froggie!

Stampin’ Up! Snow Day Froggie!

Ever since I mounted my Snow Day stamp set from the Holiday Catalog I've been thinking about how much the little face stamp looked like a froggie's face. I came home from Dawn's workshop tonight, sat down and made one! Lookie:

Snow day froggie 1

Isn't he just the cutest little guy?

Here's the flip side of the card, then I will show you how I made his little froggy face!

Snow day froggie 2

Up close:

Snow day froggie 3

His face and body are the Small Oval Punch. His legs are the Small Heart Punch, and his feet are from the Owl Builder Punch!

To make his little froggy face, first I stamped this face image from Snow Day on a scrap of Pistachio Pudding cardstock with Jet Black StazOn ink. Then I centered the eyes in two of the scallops of the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch like this before I punched it out:

Snow day froggie 4

Next, I put the stamped-and-scalloped part in the Small Oval Punch and punched again:

Snow day froggie 5
After punching this time I had to do a little bit of trimming around the edges of his cheeks with my Paper Snips, but that's all!

Here's my supply list:

Stamps: Snow Day, Yippee Skippee!, Wetlands, Postage Collection Hostess (happy birthday)

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana (my new FAV color!), Very Vanilla, Pistachio Pudding, Blushing Bride, Basic Black, Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper

Ink: Pistachio Pudding, Jet Black StazOn

Accessories: Small Oval Punch, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Small Heart Punch, Owl Builder Punch, 1 1/4" Scallop Circle Punch, Stampin' Sponge, Glue Dots, SNAIL adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals

Stampin’ Up! What to Washi Week! Gingham Garden!

Stampin’ Up! What to Washi Week! Gingham Garden!

Good morning and happy Thursday! Liam is here today! In a different routine today, Liam's daddy dropped him off at my house with me for a few hours while he takes care of some things, then he is picking him back up and taking him home for the rest of the day. So I'm getting my "Liam fix" today! yay! I admit it, I'm crazy about him!

Today's card is one I CASED from a Convention Board sample I found online:


Gingham bitty butterfly 1

Gingham Garden Washi Tape on a Whisper White layer, attached to an Island Indigo card base. A greeting from Yippee Skippee, stamped in Melon Mambo, is accented by an Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack scallop flower in Daffodil Delight. The flower is finished off with a Rhinestone Basic Jewel.


Bitty butterfly gingham 2

The Bitty Butterfly frame (Bitty Butterfly Punch is on sale in the Butterfly Bundle 15% off!)

Download the flyer here:


Download Flyer_ButterflyBundle_Demo_8.29-9.30.2013_US

was created in the same way as the Mosaic Punch ornament shown HERE. The Melon Mambo cardstock was punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch FIRST, then the Artisan Label was punched around it. I embossed with the Perfect Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder before attaching it over the Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape with Stampin'Dimensionals.

Here's my inside:


Gingham bitty butterfly 3
More Gingham Garden Washi Tape, accented by the Bitty Butterfly punched out of the frame on the card front with a tiny Rhinestone Basic Jewel! The verse is from Remembering Your Birthday.

That's all for now! Hope you have a chance to create & play a bit today!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! What to Washi Week! My First YouTube Video!

Good morning! I made a video! My very first one! It's rough, and I still have a lot to learn and figure out, but I'm on my way!

You saw this card last week using the Wishing You stampset and Season of Style Washi Tape, but since it's What to Washi week, it qualifies!

Mosaic Washi 1

And here's the video:

 

Well, it's a Liam day today, then I'm having a 31 Gifts Party tonight, so I have to run!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Wishing You & Mosaic Punch!

Happy Saturday! Hope you have some fun things planned for this Labor Day weekend, and that you have designated some time to get your fingers inky!

Today's card is one I designed for Crystal's party last night. They are a fun group of girls! I used a card from the display boards at convention as my inspiration. I used the Wishing You stamp set from the Holiday Catalog with Season of Style Washi Tape, Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Folder, the Mosaic punch and the Artisan Label punch!

Mosaic Washi 1

Inside is stamped with more images from Wishing You. This set is perfect for your quick Christmas card-making! It has a gretting, an inside wish, and fun gift images that could be used for birthdays too!

Mosaic Washi 3

A close-up of the "ornaments" on the card front. I added a tied bow of Cherry Cobbler Bakers' Twine and one little Basic Jewel Rhinestone for some bling!

Mosaic Washi 2

This "ornament" was made by punching Old Olive cardstock with the Mosaic punch first, then punching the Artisan Label around the negative image.

Mosaic Washi 4

I attached the "ornaments" to the card front with snips of Stampin' Dimensionals:

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Wreath Completed!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Wreath Completed!

Good morning! Today is a special day! My baby boy, Ben, turns 21 today! Ahhhhhh!

Here's a recent picture of Ben:

Ben

I'm so proud of him. He has grown into a fine young man; loving, kind, thoughtful. He really thinks things through. He's working and going to school, and although he hasn't exactly found his job goal, he's still working on it!

Ben is #6 in my Payne Clan. Until Ben arrived, I always felt our family wasn't complete yet. At the dinner table, I would look around at my happy, crazy bunch of kids and I just knew we weren't all here yet. After Ben's birth, I knew I was done. He is just the icing on my cake!

Today's card you have seen before HERE, but I wanted to show you the completed card with the inside:


Wonderful wreath 1

Wonderful Wreath and Joy to the World stamps from the Holiday Catalog were used on the card front, with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions folder for depth. We will be using ovals from the Large Oval and Extra Large Oval punches and a Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel to create the bow. We will be using the Cupcake Builder Punch to punch the berries for the wreath!


Wonderful wreath 2
Inside I stamped a small image from Mosaic Madness, inked with a Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker in each corner. The verse is from another Holiday Catalog set, Christmas Messages.

That's all for now! I need to finish setting up for my Holiday Catalog Open House this afternoon!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
