Stampin’ Up! Retro Regarding Dahlias!

Posted on May 19, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there. So sorry you were unable to view my blog Monday. Typepad was experiencing another DDOS attack by Internet pirates. They have the issue resolved for the moment, but I'm afraid they probably aren't done trying.

Today's card has a very "retro" feel to it:

The Crushed Curry, dry embossed vellum, and gold embossing reminds me of the "Harvest Gold" appliances from my childhood home!

I gold heat-embossed the dahlia 4 times on cardstock vellum, then cut the largest layer with a die from the Floral Frames Framelits,then punched the remaining three layers with the Blossom punch, the Pansy Punch, and the Boho Blossoms Punch. A Vintage Faceted Button glue-dotted to the center finishes it off.

Inside I gold embossed the Occasions Catalog stamp "People Like You" for the sentiment.

That's all for now. I'm going to get off of here as quickly as possible before the pirates come back!

Stampin’ Up! Flower Shop Slider Card!

Posted on August 26, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Monday mornin' to you! We had a BLAST yesterday at Jessica's, celebrating our August Birthdays! Here's some glimpses of our pool time (we weren't even all in yet!):

Liam loves the water! He stayed in the whole time, almost 2 hours, and never complained at all!

Jaxon not so much. As soon as PaPa came out, he was ready to spend the rest of the afternoon on his lap!

Oakley got to dabble his toes a bit for his first outing at the pool:

Getting ready to take some underwater pics:

It truly was a lovely afternoon. I got a little bit of sun, which is hard for me because I have to be very careful with sunscreen (my face is allergic to all kinds), but no burn, so that's good!

It was an afternoon of lunch, gifts for all the August birthday peeps, pool, then supper and games! Fun!

Today's card is a slider I received in a swap in June. There are tutorials out there for this one, but I haven't personally made one yet. Hmmm. . . guess I need to figure this one out!

This one combined the Flower Shop and Mixed Bunch stamps with the Pansy and Blossom punches.

The greeting is from the Express Yourself Hostess set.

When the slider is opened it reveals a phrase from the Label Love!

That's all for now! It's a Liam day, so I'm outta here!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Mixed Bunch Swap!

Posted on July 11, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy Thursday! I have a swap to share with you today, created by Ruth Bingle, using the Mixed Bunch & Fabulous Phrases stamp sets, Blossom punch, 1 1/4" Circle punch, the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder, Midnight Muse 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, and ink colors of Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, and Summer Starfruit!

Ruth stamped all the flowers from the Mixed Bunch set BEFORE she embossed the layer with the Square Lattice Folder. MUCH easier to get a clean stamping that way!

It's a fun, easy card, don't you think?

Well, I'm still working furiously trying to get ready for my "SWOW" class and Christmas Card class on Friday and Saturday, getting ready for Convention (if I get to go), and Baby Oakley!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Festival of Prints Goes Birthday!

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Carol Payne

On November 8 I showed you a Christmas card very similar to this one, but this time I have made it a birthday card! I used the Festival of Prints Designer Paper Stack, both the Blossom Punch and the Modern Label Punch, the Snow Flurry Bigz Die, and a set of birthday words from the Perfect Pairs stamp set, and this time I turned the Modern Label polka-dotted paper over to the chevron side for a completely different look:

So what do you think? Does this card make a smooth transition from Christmas to birthday? Leave me a comment and I might send you one!

Are you ready for Christmas? I'm NOT yet, which is part of the reason my blog posts have been so sporadic, but I'm plugging away at it everyday this week! If all goes according to my plans I should be ready by the time my grandchildren start arriving on Sunday and Monday, so here's hoping all goes as planned!

Until next time, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Festival of Prints Blossom/Modern Label Flower!

Posted on November 8, 2012 by Carol Payne

I'm still working on the projects for Cindy's party on Saturday. She chose another card from my card sale rack that I CASED into another Christmas Card! Lookie:

I LOVE it! I'm completely blown away by how great it turned out! Two homeruns in a row, what do you think? I pulled my color palette from the colors in the Festival of Prints Designer Paper I chose, then added Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon, a Real Red Glimmer Brad, and of course this fab flower made with the Blossom Punch and the Modern Label! The smallest snowflake from the Snow Flurry Bigz Die adds just the perfect touch to make it more Christmassy!

Here's the original I made during Sale-a-bration this past year:

Most of the elements of the above card are now retired, with the exception of the Blossom & Modern Label Punches, and the Chamomile Standard Wheel.

I went super-simple on the inside, but did add a cute little 1 1/4" Scallop Circle flower in the corner, finshed off with a 4-petal flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and a Brights Brad!

That's all for today! I'm off to O'Fallon this afternoon for the Moye PTO Holiday Boutique, but first my grandsons, Cohen & Jaxon, are coming to stay for a few hours while their mommy runs some errands!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
