Stampin’ Up! Delicate Doilies Butterflies!

Posted on August 6, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! How is your day going so far? I have a new card to show you today, one of my creations for my "SWOW" Class this Saturday (SWOW stands for "Simply WOW"!)

LOTS of Vintage/Shabby Chic going on here!

I white heat embossed images from the Delicate Doilies stamp set on Blushing Bride cardstock, then cut them out with the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. After sponging all the edges with Soft Suede ink I added them to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. Very Vintage Designer Buttons with a piece of Linen Thread tied through them was added with a Glue Dot, then topped off with a Basic Jewel Pearl!

The Very Vanilla layer was texturized witht the Modern Mosaics folder, then sponged with Soft Suede ink.

Crumb Cake 1/2" Seam Binding, "Happy Birthday" from Create a Cupcake white heat embossed and punched with the Word Window Punch, with one more pearl to finish it off!

Inside I stamped the Hello Doily background stamp with Sahara Sand ink on the Very Vanilla layer, then sponged the edges with Soft Suede ink. The Create a Cupcake verse is stamped with Soft Suede, then a final butterfly that matches the ones on the car front!

Some might consider this card a bit fussy, but I really like it!

It's back to the creative mojo for me today! Liam comes to stay with me this afternoon, so I'm on a bit of a time bomb! yikes! I have two of my SWOW projects created and one of my Christmas Card Class projects figured out, so I'm half done! But I have in mind what I want to do, it's just a matter of gathering my supplies and working ont them!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Washi Tape Butterfly Birthday!

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Yesterday was a CRAZY day at my house! Just being away from my home for two weeks with three males still living there is insanity itself, so of course I've been de-cluttering and doing MASSIVE LOADS of laundry! In addition, I think I had almost all my stamping supplies pulled out at one time or another yesterday! I'm doing some stamp room re-organization along with getting ready for my Holiday Catalog Open House on Saturday, so it was a mess! But you know you generally have to make a mess to change and reorganize, so it's coming along!

Tonight I have a Stamp Camp for Kim Norris. Kim & I have been anticipating her party for a few months while we waited for Kim's new kitchen to be completed and some family events (Kim's & mine!) to progress. Kim has been watching my blog and Facebook page, picking out the projects she wants to make.

Today's card is an adaptation of the card I posted HERE from the Fiji sample boards:

I combined Gingham Garden Washi Tape with the Beautiful Butterflies Die. The Polaroid-look is very trendy right now, so I created the photo square withthe new Square Framelits!. The greeting is from Itty Bitty Banners cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits.

The inside greeting is from Yippee Skippee. The smaller Gingham Garden Washi Tape butterfly was also cut with the same Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. The washi tape makes it quick and easy!

Well, I have one more card left to create for tonight, so I need to get going!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Pleasant Poppies!

Posted on August 7, 2012 by Carol Payne

Today I am featuring a new background stamp, Pleasant Poppies! For the first time with this new catalog several of our background stamps are available in both clear and wood mount, and this is one of them! My downline, Angela Henson, created this card as one of her swaps for convention. Angela has only been a demonstrator since March 2011, but already has promoted from Associate, to Senior Associate, Supervisor, Senior Supervisor, and now Manager! I am so proud of her! She also used the sentiment from "Field Flowers", Pumpkin Pie cardstock and ink, and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

Shannon Bradley stamped the poppies on First Edition Specialty Designer Paper with Cherry Cobbler ink, then complemented it with Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon, Cherry Cobbler Regals brads, and a Lots of Tags Sizzlet tag! She also embossed the "get well" phrase from "Perfectly Penned" in Pewter Embossing Powder before punching with the Extra Large Oval Punch.

Shoni Matney stamped the poppies in Summer Starfruit ink before adding all the butterfly layers using the "Beautiful Butterflies" Bigz Die with Summer Starfruit & Midnight Muse cardstocks, Patio Party DSP, and a Windowsheet! She added the "things of you" from "Sweet Essentials".

I LOVE all the new products available in the new catalog, but I love all the new stuff in the Holiday Catalog even MORE! Tomorrow I will have some samples from the new Holiday Catalog set, "Perfectly Preserved"!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
