Stampin’ Up! Luscious Layers Class!

Stampin’ Up! Luscious Layers Class!

Quick post today! Wanted to show you a sample from my upcoming class, Luscious Layers!

It's a new style of class, where you will make as many cards you want for $2 each, no limit!

I'm still working on my designs, but here's a sample from the Stampin' Share in Fiji by Sharon Armstrong, where I got this neat idea!


Lucious layers 1
I know, crummy photography, but you get the idea!

We will be using punches, stamps, and embossing folders to create cards with lots of layers and texture! Fun and EASY!!!

Well, I've got to get busy! It's much cooler here today, easier on the AC!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! “Golden Ticket” Day!

Stampin’ Up! “Golden Ticket” Day!

Good morning! The cool thing about today, and the MAJOR difference between this day and the Golden Tickets in the Willy Wonka movie is that EVERYONE can participate, you don't have to just wish you would find a ticket!

Starting today at Noon, Mountain Time, you will be able to order from BOTH the retiring and the NEW catalogs AND the Occasions seasonal catalog! Yippee!!!!!!

While we are "patiently" waiting for noon, here's a few more pics from the virtual swap on Facebook, this time with a fabulous new Hostess Set, Simply Sketched:


Simply Sketched 1
Crisp Cantaloupe is the perfect base color for this card. The Jet Black StazOn stamped greeting is from another superb new Hostess Set, Express Yourself!

Definition of Hostess Set: a stamp set you can only purchase when you are a hostess with at least $150 in sales for you party or personal order. Only hostesses are allowed to purchase these exclusive sets with the Hostess Dollars awarded to them when their party is closed and submitted.

Stampin’ Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day#4, Wildflower Meadow!

Good morning! Just one more day! ONE? Can you stand it?

Tomorrow is like a GOLDEN TICKET DAY!

Why, you ask?

Because tomorrow is a FIRST in the 25-year history of Stampin’ Up!

Tomorrow, ONLY, May 31, 2013 beginning at Noon Mountain Time, (translate that time to your own time zone. For me in the Central Time zone that translates to 1 p.m.!) and lasting until midnight Mountain Time (1 a.m. for me) you will be able to order from THREE CATALOGS: the retiring 2012-2013 Annual Catalog, the 2013 Occasions seasonal catalog, AND the NEW 2013-2014 Annual Catalog! AMAZING!

Online Ordering will be down from midnight, May 31, till noon Mountain Time, at which time all the item codes will be turned on and we are off!!!!!!

You can contact me direct to place your order, but you can also place your order through my Online Store just by clicking on the “Shop Now” button in the upper left corner of this blog. You will be prompted to set up an account and the order will be shipped direct to you!

If your order total reaches $150 or more (before shipping and sales tax is added in), you will also be eligible to choose Hostess Benefits of at least $25 free! Tomorrow only you will be able to choose your free from any of the three catalogs, even choosing from the Hostess Exclusive stamp sets from all three catalogs! WOW!

While we are waiting for tomorrow, I have more virtual swaps to share with you, using Wildflower Meadow stamps and Textured Impressions Folder!


Wildflower meadow illuminate
This beauty was stamped with the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin’ Pad, which IS carrying over into the New catalog!


Wildflower meadow red

Love the Stripe embossed background cut with an Oval Collection Framelit to “frame” the markered Wildflower Meadow stamp!


Wildflower meadow  markers
Another markered beauty! This one has the envelope generation-stamped to achieve the lighter-stamped look!


Wildflower meadow coastal cabana
New In-Color Coastal Cabana was brayered onto the folder before the paper was inserted for this one! Label Love stamp was punched with the Artisan Label punch! The Natural 7/16″ Trim is also carrying over!


Wildflowr meadow 1
Another marker sensation, this time was probably spritzed with water before stamping to give it the watercolor look!


Wildflower meadow 2

This final one I am CASEING for my New Catalog Open House on Saturday! It’s a fantastic example of “spotlighting” by my good friend Patsy Waggoner!

That’s all for today! I’ll be back in the morning for a little more swap love while we wait for OEX to open at noon MT!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Masked Corners!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Masked Corners!

Good morning! I have a few pics of my grandsons I want to share to start out today! I've been blessed to get to spend quite a bit of time with them since I got home from Fiji, so here they are!


Cohen helping pa pa

Cohen helping Mark (aka "Pa Pa") clean up the deck area where we keep the wood for the woodstove.


Cohen helping pa pa 2
Our shovel is just the right size for Cohen to manage!


Jaxon
Jaxon on the same day hanging out with us. He's not quite into helping Pa Pa yet!


Liam at walmart
Liam and I ran errands at Walmart yesterday!


Liam playing his giggle game
He has a "giggle game" he likes to "play" on his mommy's IPad!


Cohen
Last night Cohen graduated from Tuesday school! He will start kindergarten in the fall.


Cohen as the hulk
Cohen wants to be the Incredible Hulk when he grows up!


Sweed
Last Thursday I also got to go with Alisa while she finished her baby registrys at Babies R Us and Target! Not much longer till Oakley is here!

Today I have another card from my Punch/Technique Class this month. This one was inspired by Wendy Wexler again. I don't think she had a name for this technique, but I call it "Masked Corners":


Happy 1 p
All images ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Secret Garden stamps and framelits (they will be in the new Annual Catalog, yay!), Certainly Celery 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon (retiring), and Friendly Phrases stamps (retiring)


Happy 2 p
Beautiful Birthday single wood-mount stamp (retiring, I'm really gonna miss this one, but you can still order it through June 3rd!), and the upsy-daisy stamp from Best of Flowers!

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

Stampin’ Up! Spring Sampler Sunburst Thank You!

Stampin’ Up! Spring Sampler Sunburst Thank You!

I'm back with a second post for today! Now that I've drawn the name for the froggies-on-the-lilypad challenge, I have a card for you!

I found my inspiration for this card by Erica Cerwin on the Stampin' Up! blog. I changed the presentation from landscape to portrait, and used retiring Melon Mambo Scallop Dotted Ribbon. I cut out the focal image from Spring Sampler & stamped with Jet Black Stazon with a Labels Collection Framelit, and added a Melon Mambo layer cut with an Ovals Collection Framelit:

Spring 1

The "thank you" if from the soon-to-be-retired Hostess Set, Wacky Wishes!

Patterns from three different designer papers: Polka Dot Parade, Summer Smooches, and Sunshine & Sprinkles were cut into pieces 2" x 3", then cut diagonally with the Paper Trimmer:


Spring 3

You end up with six right-angled triangles that you attach  your card front like this:


Spring 5

After you have them all attached you then turn the card over and trim off the excess that extends over the edge with your Paper Snips.

And here's the inside of the card with the verse from From the Heart:


Spring 2

all images©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

That's all for today! I'm off in a few minutes to spend the afternoon with Liam! This is our last week with him, school is out for the summer next week!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
