Posted on November 11, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is my 11th Anniversary as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! yay!

I knew when I read the Stampin' Up! recruit brochure in the fall of 2002 that Stampin' Up! might be a good "fit" for me because I got a warm, fuzzy feeling in the bottom of my tummy. Ever get those? For me they usually signal I need to pay attention to whatever is causing this pleasant sensation: a good book, an inspiring movie, a fun day with my family. Stampin' Up! isn't my first priority, God and my family take the first two spots, but after that Stampin' Up! IS one of my favorite things!

Stampin’ Up! Hexagon Dahlia Fold for Christmas!

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I still have a couple of cards from my weekend class to share. Today's card features a new fancy-fold I just learned using the Hexagon Punch!

I decided to use Winter Frost Designer Paper with Pool Party, Island Indigo, and Whisper White cardstock. I embossed a Pool Party layer with the Perfect Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder. I silver heat-embossed the "merry" from Snowflake Soiree, then cut it out with an Ovals Collection Framelit and matted it on another Ovals Collection Framelit-cut Island Indigo layer.

For the Hexagon Dahlia Fold I used the Simply Scored Scoring Boad and Tool. It was actually pretty easy to score the two lines needed to fold because the Hexagons have built-in corners to know where to line up to do my scoring!

After I scored my two lines, I folded my paper along them, then creased them sharply with my Bone Folder. After adhering all 6 of my folded hexagons to a 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" Island Indigo square, I pierced a hole in the center with my Paper-Piercing Tool and inserted a Silver Glimmer Brad from the Basics pack. I then adhered to a 3" x 3" square of Silver Glimmer paper. I added a wrap and bow of 1/8" Silver Ribbon for my finishing touch!

I silver heat-embossed a phrase from Christmas Messages for the inside, and added a 1/2" strip of coordinating Winter Frost paper to pull the inside & outside together.

That's all for now. Today's the last day of this Weekly Deal:

Stampin’ Up! Calm Christmas Sprinkle Embossed!

Posted on November 1, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I tried a fun new technique for one of my SWOW class projects – Sprinkled Embossing! Lookie:

These pictures really don't do it justice, but it's still quite pretty!

I used the Holiday Catalog set, Calm Christmas, with the Circles Collection Framelits and Champagne Glimmer Paper.

Sprinkled Embossing is a variation of traditional heat embossing: stamp your image with Versamark, then instead of sprinkling the image with just one color, you use your fingers or a small spoon to sprinkle the image with several colors of powder, tap off the excess, then heat! I didn't hold the stamped image over the powder containers as I sprinkled like I usually do, I held it over a paper plate instead. The mixed colors of leftover powder can either be discarded or used together on another image to achieve a totally different look! I used Gold for the olive branch, then Pool Party and Tempting Turquoise for the bird. At first I thought I should sprinkle sparingly, but I wasn't very happy with the result. My next try I sprinkled heavily and was very pleased!

This card is really gorgeous in real life! I wish you could see it for yourself!

That's all for now. I'm hoping to be able to get in to see a dr at a walk-in clinic Saturday so I can start getting rid of this annoying sinus infection and cough I've been dealing with for several days.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Special Season Dazzling Dryer Sheet!

Posted on October 11, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I love the card I have for you today! I used the Dazzling Dryer Sheet technique on it. It is especially gorgeous on Christmas cards with trees and snowflakes.Lookie:

I started with a card base of Island Indigo, then layered on a piece of Winter Frost Specialty Desginer Paper, one of the single-sided sheets that has a foiled stripe in it.

I stamped the tree from Special Season with Island Indigo ink on Whisper White, then covered the entire layer with my Glue Stick. I then smoothed a used dryer sheet over the glue, really rubbing it into the glue. I trimmed the sheet even with the edges of the layer, then sprinkled the dryer sheet all over with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Before I layered the tree onto a piece of Silver Glimmer paper I wrapped it with a piece of Whisper White Organza Ribbon and a piece of Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffled Stretch Ribbon. I used Tombow Glue to adhere the ruffled ribbon on the organza, then added the bannered greeting from Special Season over both ribbons with Stampin' Dimesionals. I added a Vintage Faceted Button and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel for the final touch.

I simply stamped "Christmas Greetings" and the pinecone cluster, also from Special Season, on the inside.

And that's it! I'm really loving this card! The Dazzling Diamonds Glitter clings wonderfully to both the mesh of the used dryer sheet and the glue that squeezed up between the dryer sheet threads!

One tip: the dryer sheet MUST BE USED. An un-used dryer sheet will not allow the Dazzling Diamonds to stick!

Thanks so much for coming by to see me today. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Flower Shop Emboss Resist!

Posted on October 8, 2013 by Carol Payne

I'm still thinking about stamp sets that would be good ones to choose as a new demonstrator starter kit, so I created this card, again with Flower Shop:

I used the emboss resist technique, stamping the flowers with Versamark on Very Vanilla, then heat-embossing with Clear powder. I then sponged with Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, and Cherry Cobbler, rubbing the excess from the embossing with a tissue between each color. I sponged the edges with Soft Suede, then layered onto a mat of Early Espresso. For the background layer I stamped the flowers with Soft Suede on Baked Brown Sugar cardstock, then dry-embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. I sponged the raised ridges with Soft Suede ink. I adhered a piece of 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon with Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive. I stamped "wonderful you" from Loving Thoughts in Early Espresso ink and snipped the ends into banner points. The Very Vintage Designer Button was too crisp and clean to go with all the sponging on this card, so I sponged the button with Soft Suede ink before tying a thread of Burlap Ribbon into a bow through the holes and adhering to the card with a couple of Glue Dots.

Inside I repeated the emboss resist technique in the corners and stamped phrases from Bring on the Cake.

That's all for now. Thanks so much for stopping in to see my creation today!
