Celebrate!

Posted on February 28, 2011 by Carol Payne

Celebrate! Celebrate! Celebrate! is what this card is all about! Raedean Shibata used the greeting from the Occasions Mini Level 2 Hostess set, "Something to Celebrate!" to make this card a happy one! She stamped the greeting three times, first in Tangerine Tango, next in Peach Parfait, then last in a once stamped-off Daffodil Delight. These colors are all found in the "Sunny Garden" Designer Paper she used from page 174 of the Big Catalog, along with the "Fun Flowers" Bigz L Die from the Occasions Mini! Raedean stamped the large flourish in Pear Pizzazz from "Baroque Motifs" on page 132 of the Big Catalog as the perfect Background! She made her own bling-y brad by adding Super Nova Stampin' Glitter to a 5/8" Jumbo brad with Crystal Effects, and awesome touch!

Here's another "no name", but they did a great job in the "Clean & Simple" category with "Clearly for You" from the Occasions Mini, the Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Border punch, and the "Sweet Buttons" Embosslit from the Occasions Mini! Perhaps they forgot that the wheeled border at the bottom is a retired wheel, but "Petite Petals" Jumbo Wheel on page 106 would make a great current alternative!

Tammy Overstreet has combined the "Vintage Wallpaper" Textured Impressions Folder with the "Fun Flowers" Die and some "Chantilly" Crochet trim to create a soft, feminine, vintage-y look! She also used the "Petals-a-Plenty" Textured Impressions Folder, then punched out an individual circle flower as the center of her flower! The addition of the the tiny "Basic Jewels" pearl is the perfect finishing touch!

Have a "Stampingrox!" day! See you tomorrow!

More Downline Meeting Shares!

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Carol Payne

Cathy Hewlett, Linda's 1st level downline and my 2nd level, always brings a bunch of fun samples to share to our meeting, it was hard to pick just a few to show you, so here are several! Cathy holds a Technique Class at her home every month, featuring fun and different stamping techniques. I will try to tell you which technique these are if I can!

For this first card Cathy used the "Countryside" stamp set from page 115 of the Big Catalog, painted with White Craft ink and an Aquapainter to achieve the worn, old look! "wish big" is from "Short & Sweet" on page 148.

In this next sample with the "Eastern Blooms" set from page 112, Cathy used one of the "Clear Mount Blocks" found on page 192 to stamp the background square!

Occasions Mini "Bring on the Cake" stamp set was paired with the "Sweet Buttons" Embosslit to make this quick and simple birthday card! The "happy birthday" was stamped and colored with Stampin' Write Markers on the Daffodil Delight cardstock before running it through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder!

Cathy used the "Inspired by Nature" set from page 104 of the Big Catalog to make this gorgeously stamped-on-vellum card! The butterfly is from "Great Friend" on page 122!

A masking and a brayering technique wer used on this card using the oldie-but-goodie favorite, "Lovely as a Tree" from page 114!

Easter is late this year, but it's not too soon to be thinking about getting ready! Cathy used a masking technique again to stack these adorable little chicks from "A Good Egg" on page 48! She also added a little shadowing around each one with her Aquapainter and Basic Gray ink!

Until next time, have a Stampingrox! day!
