Stampin’ Up! You Are My Sunshine in Chalkboard!

Posted on April 5, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Friday! I'm so glad the weather here is starting to warm up a bit. We've even went a few days without any rain, which is a first for quite awhile!

We have been seeing the sun quite a bit more too, which prompted me to create this fun card for the technique side of my Punch/Technique Class this Saturday! (I still have plenty of room for you if you are thinking of coming!)

There has been a lot of chalkboarding going on in the Stampin' Up! world lately, so I decided it was time to try my hand at it! I combined the Sunshine single stamp (still available until July 31!) with the flourish from the Amazing Family stamp set. I made easy white lines with my White Gel Pen and a ruler. I'm always looking for ways to make stamping a project easier!

I continued with Amazing Family stamps on the inside, accenting with the same tiny scallop circle-punched flowers and Basic Jewel Rhinestones used on the outside. The punch is from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.

That's it for today! I will have another class sample to show you tomorrow!

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Flowers #1!

Posted on March 28, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Today is an exciting day for me! I get to go shopping ALL DAY with ALL of my daughters and my oldest granddaughter! I can't wait!

In addition to shopping, my youngest daughter, Alisa, (who is expecting my 6th grandchild, a boy! in July) will be starting her baby registry! I love it!

Since I have a few minutes before we leave, thought I would show you another of the cards we will be making tomorrow and Saturday at my "Best Of" Class!

I received a card with this general layout from Kathy Alt at last Saturday's Stampin' Up! St. Louis Regional, so I changed out the colors and designer paper, changed the greeting, added a technique and a Rhinestone, to make it my own!

Using the Best of Flowers stamp set, of course, I inked the miniature "Upsy Daisies" (Did you know that the re-issued stamps from the past are minatures of the originals? They are, which makes them perfect as an addition to the originals!) first in Wisteria Wonder ink, and then sponged on some Rich Razzleberry before stamping all together on the Whisper White!

I did the same inking technique on the "Oh Hello" stamp from the Oh Hello Stamp set. What do you think? After using this technique on the Tea Shoppe card HERE, I am having fun coming up with new ink color combos. Some colors don't look well together, and some, such as Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant, really look almost the same when used together, so some experimentation is fun!

It probably doesn't look like it in this photo, but the chevron oval is actually stamped in Basic Gray!

Here's my Wisteria Wonder-inked stamp being sponged with Rich Razzleberry ink!

Same inking technique for the inside word from Amazing Family!

Here's a quick tutorial to make the Oval Punch Faux Bow:

Fold each punched oval gently and attach ends together with Glue Dots.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Attach both folded ovals
to DSP strip with Glue Dots.

To finish off center of bow, add a small strip of designer paper, a button, or a punched out shape with a Glue Dot.

That's all I have time for today! See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Fine Feathers Gradient Color!

Posted on March 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! It's a great weekend to stamp, isn't it? Back in January I found a card with this technique, Gradient Color, in a crafting magazine and couldn't wait to give it a try. It was stamped with a feather stamp from another company, so when Leadership attendees were given a list of free stamps to choose from as part of the Make & Take gift, I was thrilled to see Fine Feathers on it!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

It's a pretty simple technique, requiring only stamps, ink, and paper! The beauty is in the stamping, pure Stampin' Up! at its' best!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the Occasions set, Amazing Family, for the greeting and inner phrase, and three Classic inkpads in Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo, and Garden Green.

To stamp Gradient Color:

Ink stamp in lightest color, Tempting Turquoise for this sample.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Without stamping on cardstock, ink a portion of the same inked stamp on the next color, Island Indigo.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Stamp cardstock.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Clean stamp on a Stampin' Scrub or a baby wipe before reinking stamp on lighter color again.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

To achieve the gradient color look, ink stamp again with Island Indigo first, then ink in Garden Green. stamp on cardstock and admire your Gradient Color look!

That's it! Just ask if you have any questions!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
