Stampin’ Up! Retro Regarding Dahlias!

Stampin’ Up! Retro Regarding Dahlias!

Posted on 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:

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_1

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

Stampin_up_regarding_dahllias_2

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.

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_3

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!

Here's your shopping list for this card in my Online Store:

Stampin’ Up! Retiring 5 Petal Flower Mermaid!

Stampin’ Up! Retiring 5 Petal Flower Mermaid!

I still have so many things to show you with Stampin' Up! retiring products, I'm afraid I'm going to run out of month before I can show you them all! Then you add in all the fabulous new Sneek-Peek items that will be arriving on my doorstep starting tomorrow, oh my!

Here's another one of this month's punch projects, a mermaid inspired by Dawn Olchefske!

LOTS of punches used for this little lady, but the only one retiring this time is the 5-Petal Flower Punch which was used for the end of her tail!

I also used the retiring "Snowburst" Textured Impressions Folder to emboss her body and tail, then used a Sponge Dauber to brush on a coat of Frost White Shimmer Paint! Her hair is retiring "Poppy Parade" cardstock punched with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch and the Boho Blossoms flower adorning her hair is topped off with a retiring "Clear Rhinestone Brad"!

Tomorrow is another Quilted card using square punches! Until then, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

Stampin’ Up! Blossom Punch Strikes Again!

Stampin’ Up! Blossom Punch Strikes Again!

I really am in love with my Blossom Punch from the Occasions Mini! I love it so much I actually own three! I've been really using it at just about every workshop these past few months, as my stampers are crazy for it too! Here's another cool idea with this punch, using it to create "negative space" on your card!

Although this card looks "fussy", it actually turned out to be a pretty CAS (Clean-and-Simple) card for my stampers at the White Street church last night, so I think I will do it again at my next workshop! We used the Blossom Punch (of course!), and the Boho Blossoms Punch. I love the idea of using the "negative space" created after the punched piece is removed, and then in the case of the inside of the card, stamping in the negative space:

It made me laugh to add the "no matter what" to the admonishment on the front to "Get Well", which are stamps from the Petite Pairs and Perfectly Penned sets. I think if I received a card like this one I would know that I had no other option except to get well, wouldn't you?????

Well, I have to get ready, it's "workout" day at Jessica's and I have to be there before 8 a.m.! (yes, it's official, I DO MOVE!)

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox! Day!"

A Sneek Peek at April’s Special!

A Sneek Peek at April’s Special!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Stampin' Up! has a fantastic special coming up in April that is going to make you want to have a party!

During the month of April only, Stampin' Up! is previewing a new stamp set and a brand new package of Designer Series Paper from July's upcoming new Idea Book & Catalog, Customers can buy both of them after they make a $20 order,but hostesses can earn both for FREE when they have a $350 party in April ONLY!

The stamp set is called "Four Frames", and is $20.95 in Wood Mount and $15.95 in Clear Mount. The Designer Paper is called "Paisley Petals" and is $9.95!  When April Hostesses have a sales total of $350 or more, they automatically get BOTH the paper and the stamp set, an up to $30.90 value, FREE!

I can't show you the actual stamp set or the Designer Paper until April 1st, but I CAN show you samples made with them!

This first sample uses the dotted frame folded over as a pennant. I stamped the "y o u" with the "Sweet Shoppe" lower case alphabet before punching them out with the 3/4" circle punch. The banner is strung on Linen Thread and anchored to the card with Antique Brads! Isn't the background paper gorgeous? I LOVE it and will be using it ALOT!

This sample uses the framed roses stamp from "Four Frames". I teamed with with a more subtle piece of the "Paisley Petals" Designer Paper, Cherry Cobbler Textured Cardstock, an Sahara Sand! The blossoms are punched with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and the Boho Blossoms punch, then they were scrunched and folded until the cardstock layers could be separated from each other to give it that soft, fuzzy, almost sueded look! The foliage is from the Two Step Bird punch! The finishing touches were added with the Basic Jewels Pearls and Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding!

This last sample shows how versatile this paper is! In the first sample it was paired with River Rock, Old Olive, and Baja Breeze. In the second sample it was paired with Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler, and in this sample it is paired with Marina Mist, River Rock, and Cherry Cobbler! I used the "Scallop Trim" Border Punch on the edges of the banner, and the "Vintage Wallpaper" Textured Impression folder on the card front! I used a "Vintage Trinket" to secure the "Boho Blossoms" layered flower, and then added a cute little "hello" from "Tiny Tags" with the "Medium Jewelry" punch!

All of these samples will be on dispaly at all of my workshops and events this month, and are available for you to choose for your Make-n-Takes at your April Party! Contact me to get yours on my calendar!

Until tomorrow, my friends, have a "Stampingrox!" day!
