Stampin’ Up! NEW Sketched Birthday!

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Monday Morning to you! I have some fun samples to show you today from the swap in Fiji, using the upcoming new Annual Catalog set, Sketched Birthday! Go HERE to see my Fiji swap using this set. Let's jump right in, shall we?

All products used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

First, a fun little 4×4 card using the new In Colors of Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding!

This swap uses the not-retiring designer paper, Polka Dot Parade, and one of the Apothecary Accents framelits to cut out the greeting!

More Polka Dot Parade paper, Apothecary Accents framelits, and Bitty Banners framelits!

This sample combines Sketched Birthday with our first photopolymer stamp set, Designer Type, which was used to creat the banner. New designer paper was used, Epic Day!

Our final sample today combines Sketched Birthday with Flowering Flourishes. The unique feature of this one is the correction fluid the creator used to accent the Jet Black StazOn-stamped images, giving this one a "bandana" feel! There are actually several household and office-related items that can be utilized very easily to embellish your creations! I hope to be showing you some of those in the coming days!

That's all for today! Hope you've enjoyed Sketched Birthday, which will be available to order on May 31st!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Label Love Baby Cards!

Posted on May 19, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Yesterday was jam-packed from beginning to end! My morning started off by creating these baby cards for a baby shower I was unable to attend but sent my gift anyway:

I used some of my pre-order items: Label Love stamp set, Artisan Label punch, Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Folder, and new In-Color Strawberry Slush for the card on the right and Marina Mist on the left.

All products used ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used a phrase from Cuddles & Kisses and tiny hearts from the soon-to-be-retired Rain or Shine.

After I safely delivered the gift to my SIL Lori to take to the shower for me, I finished the prep for my "Yes, Mam!" Downline meeting, which was from 7-9 p.m. last night.

There have been several new additions to my downline in all levels lately, mostly due to the great recuiting specials Stampin' Up! has been offering. (psst, there's one going on right now . . . Give me a shout out if you want to know more about how you can join my group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators, the "Yes, Mam! Stampers") Here's my recruit, Sherry Peyton, working on her M&T with two of her downline girls, also named Sherry!

l to r: Shary Logan, Sherry Peyton, Sherry Chrisman!

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

Well, today is the last day I am keeping Liam this school year. I love that little guy, he's my favorite Liam in all the world! Summer break starts next week, so he will be with his mommy everyday, much to her delight, but I will be back with him starting sometime in mid-august! Right now he is still army-crawling and cruising around the couch, but by august he will probably be walking, even running! I'll get to see him frequently during the summer, so it's all good!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Masked Corners!

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I have a few pics of my grandsons I want to share to start out today! I've been blessed to get to spend quite a bit of time with them since I got home from Fiji, so here they are!

Cohen helping Mark (aka "Pa Pa") clean up the deck area where we keep the wood for the woodstove.

Our shovel is just the right size for Cohen to manage!

Jaxon on the same day hanging out with us. He's not quite into helping Pa Pa yet!

Liam and I ran errands at Walmart yesterday!

He has a "giggle game" he likes to "play" on his mommy's IPad!

Last night Cohen graduated from Tuesday school! He will start kindergarten in the fall.

Cohen wants to be the Incredible Hulk when he grows up!

Last Thursday I also got to go with Alisa while she finished her baby registrys at Babies R Us and Target! Not much longer till Oakley is here!

Today I have another card from my Punch/Technique Class this month. This one was inspired by Wendy Wexler again. I don't think she had a name for this technique, but I call it "Masked Corners":

Secret Garden stamps and framelits (they will be in the new Annual Catalog, yay!), Certainly Celery 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon (retiring), and Friendly Phrases stamps (retiring)

Beautiful Birthday single wood-mount stamp (retiring, I'm really gonna miss this one, but you can still order it through June 3rd!), and the upsy-daisy stamp from Best of Flowers!

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

Stampin’ Up! Dolled Up Birthday Kit and Mother’s Day Family Time!

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I had a FABULOUS day yesterday! My day started with church, which is not unusual for me on Sunday at all, but what made it even more special is my daughter, Kimberly, was asked to speak during the service. She spoke about God's timing being so much better than our timing. I was very blessed by her comments. Then after church we all went to Cracker Barrel for lunch, which of course was a madhouse, but the food was good, as usual, and I love it when we all go together "en masse"!There were 15 of us today. We were minus Logan because he is still in Rolla for his finals week coming up, then he will be home for two weeks before the summer semester. If all goes as planned he will be graduating NEXT May!

Here's a few pics from the day:

Johnny showing Cohen the fine points of the game!

Alisa & her Daddy sharing a joke! (she's due in less than 10 weeks!)

Liam all perky at the other end of the table!

I received some fun gifts from my kids, including a canvas of my 6 kids which matches my Facebook personal page header! I love looking at that picture, and now I will have one hanging in my home! Yay! (I have to admit, it sure is a nice perk to being the photographer's mom!)

Before I start my day today, I wanted to show you one of the cards we made at Krystal's party on Saturday using the Dolled Up Birthday Kit #133913 $15.95 :

Everything used on this card front is included in the kit, including the kit-exclusive photopolymer Happy Birthday! For the inside I sponged laid the Tea Lace Doily from the front on the cardstock, then sponged through the design and around the outside edges with the Sponge Dauber and the Soft Suede ink included in the kit. The only addition to the card NOT included in the kit is the inside verse from One In a Million.

Dolled Up Kit: Get everything you need to make six cards for only $15.95!
(Adhesive NOT included) Item #133913
Add a package of Glue Dots
#103683 $4.95 and Clear Block “G”
#118489 $4.50!

Well, I've got to get going! I have errands to run today and stamping to do!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
