Stampin’ Up! Year in Review Continues!

Posted on May 30, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm plowing through my blog to find retiring favorites again today! I wanted to share these with you while you still have time to order them before they're gone after tomorrow!

I used the retiring Sassy Salutations and Age Awareness for this fun birthday balloon card:

Sassy Salutations in clear is sold out, but is still available in wood. Age Awareness is photopolymer and still available. The Cherry on Top Designer Paper I used is also retiring.

View the original post HERE.

Blended Bloom and Happy Birthday Everyone Host set are both still available on the retiring list:

Retiring Pretty Petals Designer Paper, Decorative Dots folder, and Watermelon Wonder 1' Dotted Lace Trim helped make this birthday card really pop!

Original post HERE.

In November I shared with you my 2016 Easel Calendar using the retiring A Whole Lot of Lovely Host set!

EDITED TO ADD: I almost forgot that I have an Easel Calendar tutorial. Click this link to download:

Our final card for today features the Honeycomb Hello Bundle, which while not actually listed on the Retiring List, must be retiring because both the Honeycomb Hello stamps and Hexagon Hive Thinlets Dies ARE on the Retiring List!

Use code #136603 for the Wood-mount Bundle $39.75, and #136604 for the Clear-mount Bundle $35.50.

The Farmer's Market Designer Paper used behing the hexagon layer is also retiring, as is the Hexagon Punch!

Stampin’ Up! What I Love Blended Bloom!

Posted on January 19, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I discovered a really cool way to use the What I Love Sale-a-bration set with the Blended Bloom single stamp! Lookie:

I stamped the Blended Bloom and the outlines from What I Love with Archival Basic Black ink, then used the middle of the three-step stamping bloom from What I Love to stamp around the outside of the bloom with Rose Red ink. I stamped the center of the bloom with the solid three-step stamping bloom from What I Love with Crumb Cake ink.

The center still needed something, so I added a White Perfect Accent.

Even though this is a sympathy card, it turned out even better than I imagined! yay!

Stampin’ Up! Blended Bloom!

Posted on August 18, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a quick post this morning before I run out the door to Liam & Darcy's house for the day! yay!

Today's card I created as a possibility for my Birthday Card Buffet this weekend using the Blended Bloom set and a Z-fold:

These Z-fold cards are similar in construction to the Watercolor Wings card I shared with you a few days ago HERE.

Both cards have the Blended Bloom stamped with Versamark and then heat-embossed with Black Stampin' Emboss Powder. The card on the left has a blossom base of Blushing Bride and the one on the right is Watermelon Wonder. I used my sponge daubers to add Blushing Bride and Watermelon Wonder, then fussy-cut with my Paper Snips.

I have a hard time deciding which bloom I like best, the Blushing Bride or the Watermelon Wonder, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Iced Rhinestones in the centers!

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!

Inside I used the same Blended Bloom stamp along with the sentiment from the Happy Birthday Everyone Hostess set. A great way to reuse the focal point stamp for more than just the card front!

Here's the supply list for today. You can order everything, (except for the Iced Rhinestones, which will be available on September 1st) in my online store:

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!

Here's the supply list for this card. Go to my Online Store to order:

Stampin’ Up! Blended Bloom by Kathy!

Posted on August 22, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm on a mission right now to finish my Bloomin' Beautiful class prep!We had a small family crisis earlier in the week (how can a crisis be small? but it was, and everything is ok now) which threw off all of my prep time, so I'm sharing one of the cards we will be making with you today:

This gorgeous card is by Kathy Morgan, a participant in the monthly swap with me.

In prepping for my class I changed/added just a bit:

We are sponging Blackberry Bliss ink on the white-embossed Blended Bloom instead of using the Blendabilites markers. Right now I only have one set of the Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities and it would take quite a bit of ink to cover this bloom. I have had several RSVP's for this event (yay!) so I switched to using sponge daubers to add the color.

Kathy's original did not have a greeting. I used the birthday greeting from Blooming With Kindness, cut out with a Project Life Card & Labels Framelit.

Inside is all mine, stamping the Blended Bloom with yummy Blackberry Bliss ink, and adding sentiments from Trust God with Blackberry Bliss and Crumb Cake.

That's all for now, I've got to fly!

Couple of things to remember:

Big Shot Bundles Promotion ends on August 31! You can place your order for your Big Shot and choose your favorite bundle free (and purchase more bundles at 15% off!) in my Online Store HERE.

The Short & Sweet Demonstrator Starter Kit Promotion ends Thursday, August 28th! To sign up and choose your $150 worth of Stampin' Products for $99 (kit includes catalogs and business supplies too) go to my Stampin' Up! website HERE and click on "Join the Fun"!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Blended Bloom Scalloped Tag Topper Screen Card!

Posted on August 6, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been working on the projects for my Punch & Technique Class this weekend. I received a "Screen Card" in my monthly swap from Kelly Acheson, so I adapted it for the "punch" project in my class:

I added a scallop at the top of each screen section with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. It gives it a "victorian wardrobe" look, don't you think?

Here are the sections up close:

I used the same stamps that Kelly did, but I changed the color palette, partly because I had a full pack of Old Olive 12×12 cardstock on hand, but mostly because I seem to be on a big Blackberry Bliss kick right now!
