Bring on the Cake!

Posted on March 4, 2011 by Carol Payne

If you attend one of my workshops in March, you will get to make this card! I CASED this from one of my monthly swaps from January, and I don't have the creator's name anymore, but it is a fun card! We are using the Occasions Mini birthday set, "Bring on the Cake", with Baja Breeze Glass Glitter. We laid down a piece of Sticky Strip and sprinkled it with the glitter and gently pressed it down as the glass pieces can be a little "pointy"!The candles were punched out with the Build a Cupcake punch and attached with 2-way glue. The pedestal is punched with the Scallop Edge Border punch, which also provided the straight piece for the pedestal stand! We start with a 3/4" wide strip of Baja Breeze cardstock, then punch with the Scallop Edge punch. When we are done punching, the leftover straight strip of cardstock is perfect for the stand. I love it when one punching provides more than one element for the project! The pedestal base is half a 1 1/4" circle. The card colors are Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Baja Breeze, and Daffodil Delight, and the designer paper layer is from the Hostess Level 1 In-Color Patterns Paper Pack!

The inside of the card also uses a phrase from "Bring on the Cake"!

That's all for today, I've got to put the final touches on the March Punch Class for tonight!

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

More Downline Meeting Shares!

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Carol Payne

Cathy Hewlett, Linda's 1st level downline and my 2nd level, always brings a bunch of fun samples to share to our meeting, it was hard to pick just a few to show you, so here are several! Cathy holds a Technique Class at her home every month, featuring fun and different stamping techniques. I will try to tell you which technique these are if I can!

For this first card Cathy used the "Countryside" stamp set from page 115 of the Big Catalog, painted with White Craft ink and an Aquapainter to achieve the worn, old look! "wish big" is from "Short & Sweet" on page 148.

Cathy used the "Burned Batik" techniqe with "Baroque Motifs" stamp set on page 132 to create this feminine card.

Occasions Mini "Bring on the Cake" stamp set was paired with the "Sweet Buttons" Embosslit to make this quick and simple birthday card! The "happy birthday" was stamped and colored with Stampin' Write Markers on the Daffodil Delight cardstock before running it through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder!

Easter is late this year, but it's not too soon to be thinking about getting ready! Cathy used a masking technique again to stack these adorable little chicks from "A Good Egg" on page 48! She also added a little shadowing around each one with her Aquapainter and Basic Gray ink!

Final two “Yes, Ma’am!” projects!

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Carol Payne

As promised, here are the last two projects we made at our Saturday meeting:

This first project, a "Technique Project", uses the "Framed Tulips" Textured Impressions Folder, but in a different way. Usually the folder only creates a rectangular impression, but I'v learned a neat new way to get a square AND a narrower rectangle with the same folder, it just requires one extra step! We will be doing this technique in some of my future classes, so keep an eye out for your chance tolearn how to add value to your "Framed Tulips" folder!

The "my dear kind & wonderful friend" is from "All Holidays" on page 154 of the Big Catalog, punched with the 2 1/2" Circle punch, backed by a flower from the "Fun Flowers" Die. and matted with a piece of "Springtime Vintage" Designer Series Paper, all from the Occasions Mini! The inside of the card has two of the phrases combined from the Occasions Mini set, "Bring On the Cake!"

Twenty-one of these cards went into the mail on Monday for the monthly swap I participate in!

Our last project was a "Punch Project" using theTwo-Step Bird Punch to create these adorable robins! I found this idea on Maria's blog and knew I had to share it with my downline! This project will also be one of the March Punch Class projects on Friday, March 4th, so RSVP for this one!

The little baby birdie is made with the larger birdie's wing and the leaves from the branch that is included in the Two-step Bird Punch! The tree, flowers and leaves are from "Season of Friendship", found on page 120 of the Big Catalog!

The "Friend" on the front of the card is from "You're a Gem", and "With Love & Caring" is from "Thanks for Caring', both found in the Occasions Mini!

That's all for today! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

A Hodge-Podge of ideas!

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Carol Payne

Today's post will be filled with bright & happy cards using Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration sets!

First up is a card from Cherri Gustafson using "Bring on the Cake" from the Occasions Mini, and the SAB free item, "Ice Cream Parlor" Designer Series Paper & Quick Accents Pack! Little dabs of 2-way glue and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the candle flames add the perfect finishing touch! She also used the "Scallop Rectangle" Clearlits Die for the Pacific Point mat behind the cake!

Ruth Anne Lilley created this simple-but-elegant card with the SAB free set, "Sweet Summer" and the Textured Impressions Folder, Framed Tulips!

Jennifer Weide created this cherry card using the "Ice Cream Parlor" Designer Series free pack, and the free "Punch Bunch" stamp set! She also used the "Ice Cream Parlor" Ribbon & Buttons Pack, so most of this card was absolutely free!

This one was made quick & easy by Susie Wood using the "Bring On the Cake" Occasions Mini set and the 'Tasteful Trim" die! Susie added 1/2" Circle punched circles to give the scallop-y trim more interest! This is what's known as a "gatefold" card.

I will be back tomorrow with more fun swaps! Until then, have a "Stampingrox!" day!
