Stampin’ Up! New Weekly Deals and a Birthday Card for Cohen!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a quick post. It's 1:30 a.m. and I just finished my 2013 taxes. I am resolving and you are all witnesses: I. will. not. wait. to. do. my. taxes. at. the. last. minute. ever. again.

Monthly compiling and posting for me from now on. Yes, I am behind almost the entire first two months of this year, but that is going to be rectified VERY SOON!

I've been waiting to show you this card for several days. My grandson, Cohen, turned 6 on February 7th. This is the card I made to go with his presents, but I haven't been able to give it to him because we have not had his family party yet! I know he doesn't read my blog, and although we hope to have his party in a few WEEKS, I'm going to share it with you now  just because I can't wait any longer!

Stampin_up_see_ya_later_1

I have been saying the phrase, "See ya later, alligator" to Cohen since he was just a little guy, and now he says, "After while, crocodile" back to me, so I just had to make him this card with the phrase from the free SAB set, See Ya Later!

This is defintely a one-of-a-kind card, but Cohen is worth it!

Stampin’ Up! Papillon Potpourri Lattice Spring Card!

Stampin’ Up! Papillon Potpourri Lattice Spring Card!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Thought it was time for a really spring-y card! I received a version of this card as a swap last spring, and I've been "saving" it for a workshop card whenever the right group needed it. A workshop I was scheduled to do has had to be postponed, so I thought I would share this to give us a bit of spring after this long, long, loooong winter:

Stampin_up_papillon_potpourri_lattice_1 - Copy

It'a actually a pretty easy card – the Lattice Bigz Die and the Papillon Potpourri stamps & Bitty Butterfly punch make it easy!

Stampin_up_papillon_potpourri_lattice_2 - Copy

The inside of the card I haven't been saving because I used the "You're Lovely" Sale-a-bration set, which didn't even exist last spring when this card was first created! I thought this open-label stamp was perfect to use this phrase from Petite Pairs. I was originally thinking it would be a birthday card, but it would also make a great "thank-you" or "thinking of you" card!

Here's your supply list to make this card. Click on any highlighted item to find everything on the list in my ONLINE STORE:

Whisper White 8 1/2" x 11 cardstock #100730

Daffodil Delight 8 1/2" x 11 cardstock #119683

Basic Black 8 1/2" x 11 cardtstock #121045

Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper #126902

Daffodil Delight 1/2" Seam Binding #125583

Papillon Potpourri stamp set #132058 clear #123759

Bitty Butterfly punch #129406

You're Lovely (only available with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure)

Lattice Bigz Die #115958

Deco Label Framelits Dies #130102

Jet Black StazOn #101406

Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Marker #119677

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

Stampin’Up! Vivid Vases with Gingham Garden!

Stampin’Up! Vivid Vases with Gingham Garden!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! We've had a relaxing day today. After church and dinner with the fam, we watched a movie, "Austenland", that Kimmy & Tony found at the video store,(I caught a "little" nap!), there were games, I cuddled on Liam and Oakley, then I made home-made pizza for everyone for supper. Pizza on Sunday night is becoming a new tradtion!

Tonight's card is one I created for my "Vivid Vases" class, but it didn't make the cut because I felt it was a bit too "fussy" for a class. Tell me what you think. Would you like to make this card in a class with a total of 5 projects?

Stampin_up_vivid_vases_filmstrip_1 - Copy

All the vases are paper-pieced (fussy-cut) and the flowers are colored with markers. The greeting is carefully stamped on a 1/2" wide strip of cardstock, then the banner ends are hand-cut with Paper Snips.

Stampin_up_vivid_vases_filmstrip_2

Inside is pretty simple. What is your verdict?

Guess it's probably just up to the stamper. I have this card in my display I take to hostess parties and it's been chosen for a party next month! I really love the card!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day: Baby, We’ve Grown!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day: Baby, We’ve Grown!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had a good "Vivid Vases" class today. Several were unable to make due to various circumstances, so I'm going to offer it again on March 22nd along with my Burlap and Blooms Wreath Class.

Today I have a selection of baby card swaps I received at Leadership:

Stampin_up_baby_we've_grown_2

This baby boy card was created with  the colors of Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, and Baked Brown Sugar. Embossed with the Alphabet Press folder. Colored with a Blender Pen and Coastal Cabana ink. A bit of Baked Brown Sugar 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Ribbon for the perfect final touch!

Stampin_up_baby_we've_grown_1

This card uses the same phrase from Baby We've Grown, with Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper. One of the Designer Frames embossing folders was used around the stamped image, which has again been softly colored with Daffodil Delight ink and a blender pen. Daffodil Delight 1/2" Seam Binding adds the final touch to this one!

Stampin_up_label_love

Last but certainly not least we have the onesie card! Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper again. Scalloped Circle and Circle Punches used for the neckline and legs. A Label Love image, stamped with Calypso Coral and punched with the Artisan Label Punch and mounted on a 2 1/2" Scallop Circle complete this one!

Well, that's all for now. I'm headed off to bed. The "dreaded taxes" are still looming. It makes me tired just thinking about it. I found out this week I am a "procraftinator" – I'd rather stamp and create than cook, clean house, or do monthly bookkeeping. So I'm miserable for a few days every February trying to re-create a whole year. Sad. Every year I swear I will do better (bet you do too, don't you?) and then life gets going and before I know it here I am again with a mountain of paper to sift through.

ENOUGH of my whining.

You can always go HERE to find the supplies used for today's samples. I would really appreciate the chance to help you make something fun. Just call or email if you have any questions!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Elegant Vivid Vases!

Stampin’ Up! Elegant Vivid Vases!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I just returned home from Donna's house where we had a blast stamping tonight! Lots of laughter combined with a good movie, Pride and Prejudice, how much better could it possibly get?

Tomorrow, (or rather, looking at the clock, later today) I am having my Vivid Vases Class. Today's card is one we will be making, using Vivid Vases, Flower Garden Textured Impressions Folder, and Simply Sketched Hostess:

Stampin_up_viviid_vases_chalkboard_1

The vases are stamped without the accompanying greeting with Whisper White Craft ink on Basic Black cardstock, then cut out with an Oval Collection Framelit.

I'm really tickled how well the Vanilla Smooch Spritz/alcohol mixture showed up on the card front! I spritzed it after I had run the Smoky Slate layer through the Big Shot with the Flower Garden folder.

I added more elegance with a Tea Lace Doily, and some glam with a Rhinestone, Silver 1/8" ribbon, and the Silver Foil layer beneath the greeting!

Stampin_up_one_in_a_million

Inside is pretty straighforward, with Jet Black StazOn stamping and a sentiment from One in a Million!

So how do you like card #3 of the Vivid Vases class? I'm really diggin' it, and I hope my stampers do too!

That's all for now. It's after midnight and my eyes are getting heavy as I type. I better hit the hay so I can be up bright and early to finish my prep and set-up for class!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

As always, you can earn one Bluesox Rewards token for every $25 you spend in my Stampin' Up! Online store HERE.

PLUS, every $50 you spend in my Online Store will also earn you a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure!
