Happy Father’s Day! Secret Garden Masked Corners Re-visited!

Posted on June 16, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy Father's Day! I'm sure many of you will be preparing a meal, or get-together for the fathers in your life, so I will make this a quick post!

My dad passed away 19 years ago. I still miss him and think of him often. He was a great Dad and an even GREATER grandpa! Just ask my oldest three: Jessica, Kimberly, and Troy, they will tell you Grandpa Wall was the BEST!

Yesterday I prepped for my workshops this coming week. One of them is a monthly class/club, so I see several of the same stampers every month. Last month they picked THIS CARD from my display to do this month. Two of the ink colors, all of the word stamps, and the ribbon retired on May 31, so I re-worked the card using all current products:

What do you think? I kept the Secret Garden stamps and Framelits Collection, then substituted Blushing Bride for Pretty in Pink, Pear Pizzazz for Lucky Limeade, Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon for Certainly Celery ribbon, and a phrase from Best of Greetings instead of the retired Friendly Phrases.

Inside I switched out the Beautiful Birthday stamp (one of my all-time favs) for one of the stamps from the new Million & One set (which is quickly becoming a NEW fav of mine)!

Well,I still have some things to prep and gather together for the day! It's church first, of course, then grilling out at Jessica's, swimming, (maybe a nap, who knows?), and generally hanging out with the entire family the rest of the day! I can't wait!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Sketched Hostess!

Posted on June 15, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! It's cool and quiet here this morning, but it's supposed to heat up as the day goes on, so I will be firing up the ol' AC after awhile!

I'm relaxing just a little bit after my marathon week of workshops! I finished up at Katie's house last night. I love to stamp with that group of girls, they are so much fun!

Here's one of the cards we made at Dawn/Julia's workshop on Thursday. It's an adaptation of a couple of inspiration samples using my favorite new Hostess Set, Simply Sketched, I found by Lyssa Zwolanek:

An easy, fun little card. Dimensions are 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side to create the little "z" fold.

We stamped just the front layer with the Woodgrain Background with Soft Suede ink on the Soft Suede card base before stamping the foliage branch with Early Espresso.

The bird is stamped with Early Espresso, then colored with a blender pen and ink from a Soft Suede inkpad and an Always Artichoke pad.

The edges of the bird layer are distressed with the Stampin' Distress Tool before sponging with Soft Suede ink. After tearing the bottom of both layers and adhering together, it is attached to the card front with three Stampin' Dimensionals.

Simply Sketched is just one of seven hostess-exclusive sets in the new catalog you can choose from when you host your own stampin' party or place an Online Order of at least $150!

This layout has endless possibilities, depending on the stamps and colors you use! Give it a try!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day#4, Wildflower Meadow!

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Just one more day! ONE? Can you stand it?

Tomorrow is like a GOLDEN TICKET DAY!

Why, you ask?

Because tomorrow is a FIRST in the 25-year history of Stampin’ Up!

Tomorrow, ONLY, May 31, 2013 beginning at Noon Mountain Time, (translate that time to your own time zone. For me in the Central Time zone that translates to 1 p.m.!) and lasting until midnight Mountain Time (1 a.m. for me) you will be able to order from THREE CATALOGS: the retiring 2012-2013 Annual Catalog, the 2013 Occasions seasonal catalog, AND the NEW 2013-2014 Annual Catalog! AMAZING!

Online Ordering will be down from midnight, May 31, till noon Mountain Time, at which time all the item codes will be turned on and we are off!!!!!!

You can contact me direct to place your order, but you can also place your order through my Online Store just by clicking on the “Shop Now” button in the upper left corner of this blog. You will be prompted to set up an account and the order will be shipped direct to you!

If your order total reaches $150 or more (before shipping and sales tax is added in), you will also be eligible to choose Hostess Benefits of at least $25 free! Tomorrow only you will be able to choose your free from any of the three catalogs, even choosing from the Hostess Exclusive stamp sets from all three catalogs! WOW!

While we are waiting for tomorrow, I have more virtual swaps to share with you, using Wildflower Meadow stamps and Textured Impressions Folder!

This beauty was stamped with the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin’ Pad, which IS carrying over into the New catalog!

Love the Stripe embossed background cut with an Oval Collection Framelit to “frame” the markered Wildflower Meadow stamp!

Another markered beauty! This one has the envelope generation-stamped to achieve the lighter-stamped look!

New In-Color Coastal Cabana was brayered onto the folder before the paper was inserted for this one! Label Love stamp was punched with the Artisan Label punch! The Natural 7/16″ Trim is also carrying over!

Another marker sensation, this time was probably spritzed with water before stamping to give it the watercolor look!

This final one I am CASEING for my New Catalog Open House on Saturday! It’s a fantastic example of “spotlighting” by my good friend Patsy Waggoner!

That’s all for today! I’ll be back in the morning for a little more swap love while we wait for OEX to open at noon MT!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
