Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day! Valentines!

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there. It's late Saturday night and I'm hoping I'm past the danger zone for the flu. I'm still not holding my breath, but right now I still feel fine!

I have been sorting through more of my pictures from Leadership and found these Valentines I need to share with you before February gets here. I just took pictures of these so I don't know who created them. If you do know (or are) the creator, please let me know so I can give you credit!

Here's a cute little Valentine treat holder made with one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits, Heart Framelits, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, and a phrase from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I DO know the creator of this one, my dear friend, Linda Hunt! I remember she swapped this with me because it is one of the few 3-D swaps I received. I love getting to see Linda at Stampin' Up! events. We've been friends ever since the Alaska cruise in 2011!

This Envelope Punch Board Treat Pouch features the Label Love stamp set and Cherry Cobbler 3/4" Chevron Ribbon. Cute & easy!

This sweet little notecard-sized card features the Love You to the Moon stamp set. It would also make a cute anniversary or encouragement card for a family member.

This treat holder (complete with Chocolate, of course!) was created with Modern Medley Designer Paper, Chalk Talk stamps, Cherry Cobbler 3/4" Chevron Ribbon (love this stuff too!) and 1/8" Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon.

Last but definitely not least, this card was created with Strawberry Slush, Whisper White, and Rich Razzleberry cardstock, a Tea Lace Doily, Strawberry Slush 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, Ampersand Textured Impressions Folder, and stamps from the Perfect Pennants stamp set!

Well, that's all for now. Hope you enjoy your Sunday! We will be having the usuual clan here for lunch and the afternoon, so I definitely will enjoy my day!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day! Retro Fresh Suite!

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is Sunday, which means it's Sunday Swap Day! yay!

These swaps are all from Leadership in Houston a few weeks ago. Some of them are swaps I brought home and some are swaps belonging to my downline, Linda!

All FIVE of these swaps have the same theme: they are all created using something from the Retro Fresh product suite on pages 18-19 of the Occasions Catalog:

Retro Fresh Designer Paper, Chevron Border Punch, Banner Punch (Sale-a-bration brochure), Love You More – download the flyer for this and more cute Valentine-themed products, only available until January 27th:

Baked Brown Sugar cardbase, Costal Cabana and Very Vanill cardstock, Retro Fresh Designer Paper, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Baked Brown Sugar 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, Love You to the Moon pg 25 of the Occasions Catalog.

Soft Suede card base, Coastal Cabana Core'dinations (it has that pretty texture!) and Very Vanilla cardstock, Retro Fresh Designer Paper, Angled Tag Topper Punch, Ampersand Textured Impressions Folder, Banner Punch (Sale-a-bration brochure), and Perfect Pennants stamps on page 27 of the Occasions Catalog.

Very Vanilla card base, Coastal Cabana and So Saffron cardstock, Retro Fresh This and Taht Designer Washi Tape, Full Heart Punch, Early Espresso Baker's Twine, Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and Bitty Banners Framelits.

I think this one might be my favorite because of its super-simplicity and the saying from the Just Sayin' stamp set on page 36 of the Occasions catalog, cut out with the Word Bubbles Framelits Dies. This stamp set and dies are "bundled" together so that when you buy them at the same time you get a 15 % discount on what they would be if you bought them separately. The stamps are available in both wood-mount and clear-mount too!

That's all for now! After church this morning and Sunday dinner with the fam, I have a downline meeting this afternoon! We are having a Shoebox Swap, and I've got my card all ready and 12 packets cut so everyone can make it. I will come home with 12 different cards, each designed by one of my downline who also teaches and sells Stampin' Up! products. Fun!

You can shop for the products to make the cards shown today by clicking HERE to go to my Online Store!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Perfect Pennants Me & You!

Hey there! Merry Christmas Eve! Only one more sleep til' Christmas! My house is full of family today! Everyone came in late Tuesday evening, some just in time to go to bed, so we are all here and ready to celebrate!

A few days ago while I was prepping for my Stampin' In the New Year Birthday Stamp-a-Stack I created this card with the Perfect Pennants stamp set from the Occasions Catalog:

I'm really diggin' this color combo of Real Red, Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, and Baked Brown Sugar in the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack! I used the new Ampersand Textured Impressions Folder to emboss a piece of Pool Party (which blends perfectly with Coastal Cabana). I sponged the raised image lightly with Pool Party ink to help the image stand out a bit more.

The "me & you" image is from the Perfect Pennants stamp set, stamped in Real Red on a Whisper White scrap then cut out with one of the 6 Banners Framelits Dies. I tied a bow with Real Red 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain, then added it with a Glue Dot. To finish off the bow I added a Pool Party button from the Subtles Designer Button pack, again with a Glue Dot, then added a simple knot of Linen Thread with another Glue Dot. Don't know what I would do without Glue Dots!

I've had a pack of Hardward Clips Essentials since the Annual Catalog started on June 1st but had never used them until I realized they contained an ampersand clilp that matched the Ampersand folder perfectly!

This card would make a good anniversary or birthday card, but I chose to use a phrase from Love You to the Moon, another Occasions Catalog set, stamped in Real Red, to make it Valentine-y!

The "xoxo" stamp is also from Love You to the Moon, isn't it cute?

Well, that's all for now. Until tomorrow (Christmas!), have a Stampingrox! day!
