Stampin’ Up! Owl Anniversary!

Posted on June 30, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Yesterday was a fun day! I went to my aunt & uncles 60th Wedding Anniversary Celebration, and I was able to see relatives I haven't seen in years, talk & laugh with my favorite cousins, and see pictures of my ancestors I had never seen before!

I took several pictures of the pictures (I figure that's the only way I will ever be able to have copies, right?) and I want to share a few of those with you at a later date (some have interesting stories), but today I want to share the card I made for the celebrated couple:

This card is a souped-up version of one of the cards we made at my "Best of" class this past Friday. Not too hard to figure out, the bow for her hair was made with 2 of the hearts from the Owl Builder Punch and his bow-tie was made with the cut off feet from the same punch!

The inside phrase is from the Best of Brides & Babies 25th Anniversary Collection set, I added the "both" with my Basic Black marker.

I finished off the envelope with the Fancy Fan folder embossing the flap and a Secret Garden leaf framelit.

That's all for now! I'm off to Sunday morning church!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Yes Mam’s! Shoebox Swap Card #3, #4, & #5!

Posted on June 25, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I have THREE card ideas for you today, brought to you by Martha Swift, Kristen Hoffman, and Sherry Chrisman!

Martha's card uses the yummy color combo of Strawberry Slush and Whisper White! Martha embossed the Strawberry Slush layer with the Stripes Textured Impressions Folder, punched the lower edge with the Scallop Edge Border Punch, then added Gingham Garden Designer Paper cut with the Ovals Collection Framelits! Inside the oval opening we stamped the "Hello" from Lacy & Lovely with Basic Gray ink, then added a Strawberry Slush-stamped flower from Secret Garden cut with one of the Secret Garden Framelits. A Primrose Petals In-Color Dahlia coordinates wonderfully with the Strawberry Slush color! I love the crisp, clean lines of this card!

One of my newest recruits, Kristen, designed this quick-and-easy card using a set I've always admired but never have gotten around to ordering, Bootiful Occasions! Kristen chose Midnight Muse and Cherry Cobbler for her colors. The Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding ribbon really pulls this simple design together!

Sherry Chrisman's design combines the beautiful Swallowtail butterfly stamp with Crisp Cantaloupe ink! For a bit of bling she heat-embossed the phrase from Million & One with Silver Embossing Powder on Brushed Silver cardstock and added one tiny Basic Jewel Rhinestone. The edges of this layer were cut with the Large Scallop Edgelit. Brushed Silver-punched Bitty Butterflies finish this card off beautifully!

That's all for today! I will be back tomorrow with one more Shoebox Swap creation by Tudy Hoffman!

Hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Yes, Mam’s! Shoebox Swap Card #2!

Posted on June 24, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Today's sample was created by another of my dear friends and downline, Angela Henson!

Angela chose the Gingham Garden Washi Tape colors of Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, and Daffodil Delight for her cards' color palette, in addition to Mixed Bunch and Loving Thoughts stamps, the Blossom Punch, and the 1" Circle Punch!

On the inside I layered the Daffodil Delight ink over the Melon Mambo ink using two different Mixed Bunch stamps. I like the effect!

Here's a fun and easy idea to coordinate your envelope: just add strips of Gingham Garden Washi Tape to the flap! I love how easy it is to attach, because the tacky adhesive is already on the tape! Fun!

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

Stampin’ Up! Punch Puppy From Fiji!

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Just a quick post here today, I'm running behind with my day and it's just getting started!

We had a good Father's Day celebration yesterday, beginning with a special song at church, "A Few Good Men"! My husband and SIL, Tony, (a young father of one, Liam!) sang in the mens' ensemble:

Our father-of-four pastor, two young father's of two, a young father of about-to-be three, a young father of soon-to-be six, and one young unmarried fellow all came together to sing this inspiring song!

After church we spent the rest of the afternoon at Jessica's. PaPa Mark was able to spend time with all of his children and grandchildren. He's enjoying Jaxon & Liam, who are just a little over 7 months apart in age:

Seating is not a problem when we get together (at least not as long as you can fit at the kiddie table!) Cohen informed me that the chairs at this table were "very strong, they have BIG NAILS in them"!

We had hoped to be able to swim in Jessica's pool, but it was cloudy, not a good swim day at all, so we contented ourselves with indoor activities.

I want to share this card with you today. It is a case of one of my Fiji swaps. We made this card at the final Punch Class of the year back in May. I thought I had shared it with you already, but after checking my blog here I found that I hadn't, shame on me! One of my groups has asked to make it this month, so here it is:

Doesn't her little tail just look like it's wagging?

A fun card!

Well, I'd better get off this computer and get busy! I have a workshop at the Elkville Rick Warren Library tonight!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
