Stampin’ Up! Everything Eleanor and a New Technique!

Posted on March 29, 2012 by Carol Payne

Good Thursday Morning Stampers! I need to pause with showing you the rest of the calendar pages to show you a Sneak Peek from the Stampin' Up! 2012-2013 ANNUAL CATALOG, which begins on June 1st! In this catalog you will see many positive changes, with this catalog feature more of our "core" products and less seasonal. This is a positive change, IMHO, because who needs, for instance, Christmas stamps in your catalog in the spring taking up space?

Anywhoo, yesterday was my Mother-in-law's 84th birthday, so I made this card especially for her. She loves lavendar and purple, so I used Concord Crush, Wisteria Wonder, and Whisper White for my color palette, along with a Sneak Peek stamp set, "Everything Eleanor"! Everyone attending Leadership this past January received this set! I love how Stampin' Up! tries very hard to keep us supplied with fresh stamps!

Here's the card:

I used a new technique I just learned from Erin Gonzalez, "Versa-Shadow"! It's very easy but gives a really professional look to your project! This is a Technique we will be learning at my Technique Classes in April! I also made her a corner bookmark with her initial, "D" for "Dolores", using the "Broadsheet Alphabet". The directions for the bookmark were in the magazine Stampin' Up! sends out to all demonstrators this month, so since Dolores loves to read, it was just the perfect thing for her!

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget, Sale-a-bration ends on Saturday, just two more days after today, so contact me ASAP if you want to get some of the freebies available!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

Today I am going back into the archives to show you some of the cards we made at my October Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack! These were all swaps I received at Founder's Circle in September that I either CASED exactly or added my own little twist!

This card was a favorite, using the Holiday Mini Catalog Level 2 Hostess set, Peaceful Season! The inside verse is from the Level 3 Hostess set, Occasional Quotes!

For this card I used the oldie-but-goodie, Winter Post! The picture doesn't do it justice, but after the card was completely assembled we gave it a light spritz with the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz! The inside verse is from another oldie-but-goodie Christmas verse set, Many Merry Messages!

The snowflakes have the Metallic Brads attached through a Paper Pierced hole and the legs are turned down, then the snowflakes are attached to the card with Mini Glue-dots!

Here's how we attached the ribbon on the back of the skaters:

This card uses the fun new clear-mount alphabet, Broadsheet Alphabet! The inner verse is from another favorite and often used set, God's Blessings!

Here's how we ruffled the satin ribbon under the "noel":

First we laid down 1"-1 1/2" of Sticky Strip on the Early Espresso cardstock strip. We then removed the red plastic protective covering to expose the stickiness.

We trimmed off the end of our 5/8" Old Olive Satin ribbon with the Craft & Paper Scissors, then attached the end of the ribbon to the end of the Sticky Strip. We did not attach the ribbon to the entire length of the strip.

We pinched up the ribbon into a small fold and then pressed down about a fingertip width of ribbon to attach again to the sticky strip.

We repeated this process a second time to make a second fold in our ribbon. At this point we clipped off the ribbon and layered the punched "noel" letters. If you desire you can put a Mini Glue-dot between the folds to help them lay down.

If all goes as planned I will be back tomorrow to show you how we made a Textured Impressions Christmas Tree!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!
