Stampin’ Up! Another Great Year!

Stampin’ Up! Another Great Year!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Some of my kids have gone home, some are still here, and tomorrow my nephew and his sweet wife are coming to visit! yay!

Today's project is another we will be making next week at the Stampin' in the New Year Stamp-a-Stack using a new Occasions Catalog set, Another Great Year:

Stampin_up_another_great_year_1

I'm really diggin' the Pool Party, Whisper White, and Real Red color combo! Bet you couldn't tell from the projects I've been showing lately, could you?

For this card I stamped the giant "happy birthday" first in Real Red on the Whisper White layer, cleaned the stamp, then stamped on Real Red cardstock with Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and the Heat Tool. I then cut out the "happy" and "to you" banner pieces so I could layer them over the Real Red stamped image to give it a bit of a "split negative" look.

I embossed the Pool Party layer with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, which will be free with a $50 order beginning January 28th.

Silver Glimmer stars punched with the star punch from the Merry Minis Punch Pack finishes off this card with just the right amount of bling!

Stampin_up_another_great_year_2

I stamped the inside phrase, also from Another Great Year, with Real Red. I added a 1/2" strip of Fresh Prints Designer Paper stack to the bottom of the Whisper White layer to help tie the outside to the inside.

That's all for now! You can order the "Another Great Year" stamp set and the Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack beginning January 3rd, but unti then you can check out the 25 new items added to the Clearance Rack today:

Stampin’ Up! Tealight Birthday Cake & Box!

Stampin’ Up! Tealight Birthday Cake & Box!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! We've definitely had a Merry Christmas around here! Jessica's bunch have gone to their other grandparents' and Kimberly's are visiting with the other grandparents' too. Alisa's and Troy are still here and the boy's and I are watching "It's A Wonderful Life"! Life is good!

Today I'm sharing another project we will be making next week at my Stampin' in the New Year Birthday Stamp-a-Stack, a Tealight Birthday Cake and a box to put it in!

Stampin_up_tealight_cake_1

The tealight is wrapped with a 5/8" x 5" strip of Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack paper (available when the Occasions Catalog starts on January 3rd!) with  1 3/4" Scalloped Circles for the base and the frosting. The box is created with the Envelope Punch Board, wheeled with the Birthday Candles Jumbo Wheel.

Stampin_up_tealight_cake_2

The "live happy" phrase is from a new Sale-a-bration set, "You're Lovely", available to choose for free with a $50 order starting on January 28th! After stamping with Real Red ink, I punched it with the new Banner punch, also available as a free Sale-a-bration item the same day! I layered a piece of Silver Glimmer paper behind the punched banner, then hand-trimmed another banner with my Paper Snips!

Stampin_up_tealight_cake_box_3

See how perfectly the cake fits in the box! yay!

That's all for now! You can shop for most of the items to make this lovely ensemble in my Online Store:

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

I'll be back tomorrow with another Stampin' in the New Year project! Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! One Last Christmas Giftcard Holder with Perfect Blend!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Christmas is almost here! Merry Christmas Eve eve! My kids are all coming in this afternoon/evening and I am in a flurry of last-minute preparations. I still have to get out and grocery shop, with a few last minute additions to the gift list, so this post has to be quick!

I found I one last Christmas Gift Card Holder to show you, this time made with Perfect Blend, Beautifully Barouque Textured Impressions Folder, and the Christmas Ornament punch!

Stampin_up_beautifully_baroque_1

Very sweet and simple. The Small Heart was punched first, then the Christmas Ornament punched around it, then both were used to accent the front.

Stampin_up_beautifully_baroque_2

The slot for the gift card was punched with the Word Window Punch! Genius!

That's all for now! I will be sharing more of my projects for the Stampin' In the New Year Stamp-a-Stack over the next few days, so check in when you can!

Only 11 days left to order your favs from the Holiday Catalog, then the Occasions Catalog starts on January 3rd!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Sorbet 2014 Calendar!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Sorbet 2014 Calendar!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I worked quite a bit today on some new projects for my New Year's Day Stamp-a-Stack, and this is one of them:

Stampin_up_sweet_sorbet_calendar_1

I ordered the calendars from vippies.com a few weeks ago with the plan to create a calendar for my stampers to make at the Stampin' in the New Year Birthday Stamp-a-Stack on January 1st, 3rd, and 4th. In case you didn't know, I'm notoriously know for putting things away "safely", then not remembering where "safe" is, but I actually found the package of calendars with not much fuss!

Stampin_up_sweet_sorbet_calendar_2

I created an easel-style calendar using the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper and Petals Parade Stamp Set from the Sale-a-bration brochure, and the Petite Petals stamp set from the new Occasions Catalog. Sale-a-bration means you get to choose a free item from the SAB brochure for every $50 you order! This much-loved annual promotion starts January 28th! It's a GREAT time to host a stampin' party because SAB makes it even easier to get more free hostess benefits (which means MORE free stamps and accessories for YOU, the hostess!)

The colors of the paper are Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, Pool Party, Sahara Sand, and Whisper White. After stamping the flowers, I punched them out with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Scallop Punch, and the Petite Pansy Punch. I added 2013/2015 In-Color Boutique Details and a Vintage Faceted Designer Button to the center of the flowers with Glue Dots. The leafy branches are punched with the Bird Builder Punch from Pistachio Pudding cardstock.

I JUST LOVE how the Basic Black mats make everything really POP!

I also added a mini-gel pen behind the Post-It Note pad by adhering a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim with Sticky Strip.

This project folds flat to fit inside a custom box I made for it with the Envelope Punch Board! Come back tomorrow to see it!

This project joins the Pinky Sparkly Birthday Cake card I showed you HERE.

PLEASE RSVP for this class ASAP so I know how many packets to prepare!

That's all for now! You can order Stampin' Up! products from my Online Store:www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Blessing Card By Sara!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Blessing Card By Sara!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I love to open Christmas cards when they come in the mail. I love them all; the ones purchased with thougtfullness and love at the store, and family photo cards, but I especially love the hand-stamped ones I receive from my lovely stamping friends! Today's card was created by Sara Harris:

Stampin_up_wonderful_blessings_1

Sara used some new and some retired Stampin' Up! product for her unique layout. It has a very vintage-y feel! I won't even try to attempt to name the retired products she used, but I can tell you she used Crumb Cake cardstock for her card base and the Wonderful Blessing single stamp (#134779 $8.95) for her focal image:

Stampin_up_wonderful_blessings_2

I love this z-folded presentation!

Stampin_up_wonderful_blessings_3

As best I can tell (I haven't had time to contact Sara to ask for the answer to this question) Sara clear heat-embossed the image on Crumb Cake cardstock, then either sponged it with Illuminate Glimmer ink or retired Shimmer Paint. As a final touch she sponged the "peace on earth" phrase from the stamp with what I believe is retired Riding Hood Red ink and added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel.

I love this card!

The stamps on the Single Stamps flyer will only be available until January 31, 2014, so don't delay ordering!

Click HERE to order from my Online Store.

That's all for now! I have another card from a stamping friend to show you tomorrow, this time one from my new downline, Angie!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
