Stampin’ Up! Age Awareness

Stampin’ Up! Age Awareness

Hey there. Today is my first Punch & Technique Class in over a year. and I'm excited! Everything is ready!

Today's card is a convention swap. Have I told you how much I LOVE Flashback Designer Series Paper? I do! This paper is appropriately named. I grew up in the 60's, and the colors just scream this decade! I used Age Awareness and Bomb's Away Birthday photopolymers, which are quirky and sarcastic:

Stampin_up_age_awareness_1

In keeping with the retro "flashback" look, I decided to use the Circle Card Thinlet die, adding a 2 1/2" Basic Black circle with a Flashback circle center to add a rock n' roll element.

The "flip" side of the record:

Stampin_up_age_awareness_2

The outside panel I covered with my "favorite fave" from the Flashback paper: Real Red, Hello Honey, Smoky Slate, and Pool Party. Combined with Very Vanilla in the background, these colors are so yuuuummmy!

Stampin_up_age_awareness_3

The center and far right panels are busy with a piece of Typeset Designer paper, another Age Awareness phrase, and a wise-cracking phrase from Bomb's Away Birthday.

  Stampin_up_age_awareness_4

The clear photopolymer stamps make  it super-duper easy to stamp the candles right on top of the banner strip without having to pull out the Stamp-a-ma-jig!

That's all for now. Did you check out the re-stocked Clearance Rack yet? I checked and there's some fun new stuff at fantastically reduced prices! Go HERE to browse and shop.

Stampin’ Up! What to Washi Week! Witches’ Brew!

Stampin’ Up! What to Washi Week! Witches’ Brew!

Good morning! Have you had a chance to view my first video yet? If not, go back to yesterday's post and follow the Youtube link to check it out!

Today's card for "What to Washi Week!" uses the Witches' Brew Designer Washi Tape in an unconventional way. Just like my baby card I posted HERE, I used the same skull-patterned roll from the pack, only this time I created a BIRTHDAY card!

Skull bday 1

The greeting is from the Photopolymer set, Bombs Away Birthday, which is what gave me the idea to pair the stamp with the washi tape.  I then created the skull and crossbones by punching a Basic Black owl with the Owl B uilder punch, trimming off the owl's ears and feet, then punching two Modern Label punches and hand-trimming them to look more bone-like! The skulls' eyes are Whisper White punched with the largest circles in the Owl Builder punch.

Skull bday 2

Inside I used a strip of the Witches' Brew Designer Washi Tape again, then stamped the "happy birthday" bomb stamp from Bomb's Away Birthday.

That's all for now, but who knows what else I may come up with to share with you?

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #4!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #4!

Good morning! How are you on this last Sunday of July? I ready to share with you a few more swaps! Without further ado, here we go!

This card was created with 2013-2015 In Colors Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Strawberry Slush using the Sketched Birthday stamp set on page 13! Stampin' Up! gave everyone at Leadership in Orlando, FL this set, so I'm happy I have it!


Sketched birthday 1

The greeting is from the photopolymner stamp set, Bombs Away Birthday! This set is a go-to when I want a fun, irreverent, birthday greeting!


Sketched birthday 2

Next up is a card with the Tea Party stamp set (pg 35), Oval Collection Framelits, Beautifully Barouque Textured Impressions Folder, Tea Lace Doily, and Baked Brown Sugar 3/8" Stretch Ruffled Ribbon!


Tea party 1

Close-up you can see the attention to detail of both Stampin' Up!'s stamp creation and the stamper's coloring of the image with Baked Brown Sugar and Marina Mist ink & a Blender Pen. The addition of the 4-Petal punched flowers from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and the Basic Jewel Pearl give dimension and vintage style!


Tea party 2

Last-but-certainly-not-least, Susie Wood created this center easel card with the Kind & Cozy (page 82) and the Simply Stars (page 124) stamp sets! Don't worry about all of those Real Red punched stars, the Merry Minis Punch Pack is still available on the Holiday Carryover List! The "hello" is from the Four You stamp set on page 22!


Susie Wood

That's all for now! I will be back tomorrow with more fun creations to show you and will have more swaps to show you next Sunday!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Bombs Away Birthday & My Crazy Friday!

Stampin’ Up! Bombs Away Birthday & My Crazy Friday!

Happy late Saturday Morning! Whew! Yesterday really wore me out! It was one of those days where everything happens on top of each other so you feel like you are in six places at once, but it was ALL GOOD and I feel SO BLESSED!!!!

I will just give you a quick run-down of my day:

8 a.m. I leave my house to drive the 21 minutes to Kimberly's to pick up my grandson, Liam. On the way home we make a quick trip around Kroger to pick up some groceries and get gas. Liam has discovered there IS such a thing as a strange face, so bursts into hysterical tears when only 3 feet away from me down the check-out line.

10 a.m. We get home and Ben helps me bring in all my groceries and Liam. Mark comes home and I put Liam down for his morning nap while I get a shower.

11:30 a.m. Jessica drops off Cohen & Jaxon so she can run some errands in Mt Vernon. I fix lunch.

12:45 p.m. Liam gets up from his nap and Jaxon goes down for his nap at 1. They use the same pack-n-play, of course, so the bed barely gets cold in between!

1:15 p.m. Liam and I head back to Mt Vernon to meet Jessica for pedicures. Like me, Jessica is so busy with her photography business she rarely gets a moment to enjoy a little perk like this.

3:00 p.m. Liam, Jessica & I meet Alisa & Cody, Cody's Mom Diane, and Kimberly at Alisa's dr. We all get to watch the 4-D sonogram of Alisa & Cody's coming baby boy, Oakley!

4:00 p.m. I arrive back home minus Liam, who stayed with his mom of course, to pack up to go to the Honduras Fundraiser.

5:00 p.m. My dear Downline, Linda Reaney, arrives with her granddaughter, Brooklyn, to ride back up to Mt Vernon with me to the Fundraiser.

11 p.m. Arrive back home from the Fundraiser!

Can you see why it's taken me until late morning to get around to blogging?????

Here's some pictures of my day (I'm amazed I had time to think to take any pictures! I wish I had taken more!)

Aunt Jessica & Liam at the pedicure!
