Beau Chateau – Carol Payne Stamps

Stampin’Up! Beau Chateau Gatefold!

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Carol Payne

It's Sunday evening and I'm finally finding a minute to sit down and think about my blog! The past couple of days have been action-packed: Friday we most of the day in the car driving to Rolla, MO to attend a Transfer Student Enrollment Day with Logan. We've been expecting to move him there in August, but found out that day that he will be moving there in JUNE! Turns out if he takes a couple of Chemical Engineering Pre-requisite Classes this summer he can start in the fall as a Junior. I must admit, I'm having trouble with his leaving early, so I may be teary alot in the next few weeks!

Yesterday was spent at a "Spring Into Stamping" event in Champaign, IL. Three of my downline attended with me, and even though we left my house at 4:30 a.m. for the almost three hour drive, we had a blast!

I had the priviledge to present at this event, and I showed the Dazzling Diamond Dust Technique with the Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheets. This is the card I demonstrated, using Beau Chateau Designer Paper and the Blossom Punch!

This is a "Gate-fold" or "Double-door" style card. I have made a tutorial for this design. You can dowload it here:

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

Stampin’ Up! Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheets!

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Carol Payne

Well, it seem like I'm doing late night postings for now! Jessica, Alisa, and I worked on the decorations for Kimberly's baby shower today, and we got a lot of things worked out and planned, and some things even finished, so we think one more day and we will be done!

This weekend a few of my downline and I are going to Champaign, IL, for a "Spring Into Stamping" event hosted by Kim Peck and Meg Loven. We have attended this event a few other years and it is always enjoyable! This year I was invited to present a 10-15 minute Technique demonstration "on stage", so I am really excited and nervous at the same time! I have chosen to demonstrate the "Dazzling Diamond Dust" technique with the Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheets, but have been playing around with a few other uses of the product. Here is a new card I just made tonight with the Dazzling Diamond Dust Technique, Beau Chateau Designer Paper, Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Folder, and "Loving Thoughts" stamp set:

So what do you think? The photography is kind of crummy because I didn't take the time to get out my photo tent to take the pictures, but you get the idea!

I think it's time for me to go to bed, I've run out of things to say tonight!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
