Stampin’ Up! Big News for Nancy & John!

Posted on June 6, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a special card for a special couple. Nancy & John are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary today! The family decided to surprise them with a "card shower".

I'm trying to make 2 of every card I create so I can show how easy it is to turn a sketch for two different looks. I mailed the "portrait" layout and kept the "landscape" for my display.

This couple's wedding fulfilled a little-girl dream; I was their flower girl.I can't find a picture right now, so imagine a skinny pixie-haired five year old, white eyelet dress, full skirt, pink sash, white gloves and lacy anklets. That's me!

Everything is heat embossed with gold powder, inside & out. After I embossed the greeting, I cut it out with one of the Ovals Framelits.

A tip: When embossing the Gold Foil Sheet, you MUST rub it with the Embossing Buddy FIRST!

Inside I cut an extra 5 1/4" x 4" layer of Very Vanilla to emboss the sentiment and the Blended Bloom flowers. Very Vanilla is a lighter-weight card stock; with three layers on the front this card would not have stood up. Adding the second layer makes it sturdier.

I lined the envelope with Gold Fancy Foil Vellum.

Another tip: A card with no bumpy embellishments does not extra postage!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on March 1, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back from church and everything is put away and cleaned up from Sunday dinner, so I've got a bit of time to share with you some Sunday Swaps. These samples are from an online group I'm a part of, and no one expects any credit for their creation since we are all sharing with each other to use for events or online, so here goes!

First, a lovely use of the SAB set, Lotus Blossom, stamped over a lightly-stamped Dictionary Background, mounted on a Cherry Cobbler layer, then a layer embossed with the Beautifully Baroque folder.

Next, a couple of ideas using the From the Herd Occasions Catalog set:

This one showcases how quickly you can add color with just a few swipes of the Aqua Painter and some ink refills. They coordinated the water coloring with Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, and Crisp Cantaloupe Thick Baker's Twine.

This sample using the free-with-a-$50-order Big Day stamp set also uses Irresistibly Yours Designer Paper colored with Pink Pirouette ink (the DSP is another item you can choose for free with your $50 order), and the glitzy Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim.

This idea combines the Mini Treat Bag Thinlets Dies, Birthday Bash Designer Paper, and the Bow Builder Punch. Purchase these three items and you will definitely have an order large enough to get the Big Day set for free!

This Snuggles & Smooches card would be a sweet girly baby card!

Lastly, this sample combines Crisp Cantaloupe with its' darker color friend, Calypso Coral. The bloom from Crazy About You is easily punched with the Flower Medallion Punch, and the greeting is from the free SAB set, Simply Wonderful.

That's all for now. I'm going to be sending out my newsletter this week, which will contain more stamping inspiration that includes a couple of instructional handouts. Only my newsletter subscribers will receive these ideas!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day on Sunday Night!

Posted on February 8, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Things have been really busy around here for what seems like forever, but tomorrow it's going to get even busier because Miss Darcy is coming! yay!

Tomorrow morning at approximately 7:30 a.m, Miss Darcy Anne Jenkins is scheduled to make her debut! We are all excited, as well as a bit anxious. A c-section, while routine, is a serious surgery. We will all be breathing a prayer of thanks when mommy and baby are safe and sound.

While we are waiting, and hoping to get a little bit of sleep before setting off for the hospital pre-6 a.m., how about a few swaps?

Ruth Bingle created her swap with the Big Day Sale-a-bration set using the Frosted Window technique:

The "frosted window" is created with clear packing tape over the punched circle, then sprinkling the sticky side with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Next, Cathy Stephenson used Butterfly Basics, punching the Bitty Butterfly from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, which is on sale through Monday, February 9!

Raedean Shibata used Balloon Framelits with Celebrate Today to create a stunning anniversary card. She punched the edge with the Confetti Stars Border Punch, adding Silver Foil paper behind the stars for more shine.

Inside is finished with a banner from Celebrate Today and A Dozen Thoughts sentiment.

Finally, Jackie Ordway used Something Borrowed Designer Paper and a phrase from the For the New Two for her elegant wedding card. The Something Borrowed Embellishment is found on page 42 of the Occasions Catalog.

That's all for now. The next time you visit I should have some Darcy pictures to share, as well as a few more swaps!

Here's a supply list of the main supplies used for todays' swaps you can order from my online store: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

Since I will be staying with Miss Darcy for at least a couple of weeks I will be a bit slow in getting Thank-you packets in the mail this month (I still have some January ones to do too!) but please be patient, I WILL send them!
