Stampin’ Up! Hearts a Flutter Valentines Swaps!

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Carol Payne

With Valentine's Day coming up tomorrow, I thought I'd better show you these cute swaps I took pictures of at Leadership. I have no idea who created them, but they are simply awesome!

All were created with the "Hearts a Flutter" stamp set!

This first one has clean lines. Love the Chevron folder on the Whisper White card base! Greeting from the free SAB set, "Bloomin' Marvelous"!

Solid flower heart in center is from "Spring Sampler".

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This one is also very clean & simple. The hearts have been punched with the Postage Stamp Punch. Greeting from Friendly Phrases. Primrose Petals cardstock, ink, and ribbon.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This one is a little more involved, but I love the color combo of Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, Real Red, and Basic Black! The little touch of Silver Glimmer Paper (yours when you host a $150 party during Sale-a-bration) really makes the Owl-punched Basic Black heart pop!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Basic Black Scallop edge from one of the Adorning Accents Edgelits, and the greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

That's all for now! See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Heart Punches to the Rescue!

Posted on February 12, 2013 by Carol Payne

Before we get started today, I want to show you what was in my living room last night:

Did you guess????

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In July we will greet our 4th grandson! We are so excited!!!!!

No name yet, but I'll keep you posted when one is decided!

Before we had the big reveal, Jessica brought the grandkids to my house so we could get their valentines made. Remember I showed them to you a few days ago.

I also gave them all their Valentine gifts from me yesterday. I won't be seeing them on Valentine's Day, and the gifts for Maddie Kate and Ava were valentine-themed cooking kits, so I got them wrapped and ready for them to open while they were at my house.

After I gathered everything together, I realized I had NO VALENTINE WRAPPING PAPER (GASP!) but it only took me a half a second to realize that I HAVE PUNCHES, so nothing to worry about!

Here's what I did for the girls' gifts:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Full Heart Punch, Small Heart Punch, the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, some Tea Lace Doilies, and the Big Shot Alphabet from the Stampin' Up! catalog! Voila!

For the boys:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Heart Framelits and the same alphabet again!

And finally, my gift for baby Swody (our name for Alisa's baby right now, a combo of "Sweed", (Alisa's nickname), and Cody:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I was trying to be gender-neutral because when I wrapped it we didn't know he was a boy yet! A little girly-looking, but I used the blue gingham side of the pink gingham wrapping paper I used for the girls to tone it down!

That's all for today! I will leave you with one more picture from last night. When we received the news that Alisa & Cody were expecting, they gave us this onesie with the name "Swody" on it, but it was all black and white, no color. Well, "Swody" has color now!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden!

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

I know this post is later than normal, but I'm here!

This card is one from my Punch/Technique Class this month. I call it "Embedded Embossing with Framelits"!

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

I stamped the Secret Garden flowers with Pretty in Pink ink on Pink Pirouette and the leaf stem with Soft Suede on Very Vanilla, then cut them out with the Secret Garden Framelits. After SNAILing them to my card front I ran it all through the Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder.

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

The inside is stamped with a phrase from Feel Goods in the Occasions Catalog, and EVERYTHING, inside and out is sponged with Soft Suede ink!

It just wouldn't be Vintage without dirtying it up with sponging, would it?

Here's a close up of the embedded flowers with Basic Jewel Pearls accents:

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 5/8" Very Vanilla Flower Trim!

We counted a new package of them the other night. At $6.95, they are really a GREAT DEAL because the two yards contained 100 flowers! WOW!

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

Notice the ribbon trim along the front? It's actually one of the Flower Trim, but I cut between the spiraled "petals" and found this really delicate scalloped ribbon! After SNAILing it to the card front, I added the strips of pearls from the Basic Jewels Pearls pack.

Oh, BTW, the Designer Paper at the bottom of the card is Tea for Two!

That's all for today! Today I plan to play with some new ideas! I actually woke up the other night dreaming about a technqiue variation I'm dying to try! Don't worry! If it works out I'll for sure show it to you!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! My Grandkids’ Valentines!

Posted on February 8, 2013 by Carol Payne

It's Friday! yay! I love Fridays! Even though I have the BEST job in the world to get to stamp and share with you all, I still love the extra-relaxed feeling I get just knowing it's almost the weekend!

Yesterday my oldest grandson, Cohen, turned 5! WOW! He was still just a baby when I left my day-job to pursue my dream of being a full-time Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and here we are! This fall he will start kindergarten and I will have been a full-time demo for 5 years! Amazing!

Tonight is Cohen's Birthday Party and I am ready! I purchased his gift right after Christmas – all I still need to do is wrap it! And his card is finished too:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

But I did promise to show you the Valentines I will be helping my grandkids make this year, didn't I?

First up, the one you actually saw yesterday, only you didn't know which one it was, right? Here's Ava's Valentine "matchbook", complete with Sweettarts candy!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Of course, in the words of my daughter, Kimberly: "no valentine is any good without candy!", so here's the inside:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Next, Cohen's Valentine, which is another matchbook but with a much more masculine theme:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

That amazing ol' Owl Builder Punch comes in SO handy! Kimberly swears EVERYONE NEEDS it!

And inside:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

And lastly, I took the Valentine Heart Box from my Hearts a Flutter Class and turned "vintage" into "modern" for Maddie Kate with the Pop-Up Posies Kit:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The Calypso Coral pre-cut flowers in the kit made embellishing this favor a real treat! I actually enlarged this box from the original, using the next-size-larger Heart Framelit and enlarging the inside box as well by using 12 x 12 Basic Black cardstock. This baby will hold lots more Hershey's Kisses than the original!

I added a Basic Black Basics Glimmer Brad to the center of the flower for some bling and used the "just for you" stamp that is part of the Pop-Up Posies Kit for the greeting.

The Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder was used to emboss the Pool Party heart, and the Fancy Fan Folder was used around the edges of the box:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The top of the box is tied shut with some of the Pool Party FREE RIBBON you can get with a $50 order right now during Sale-a-bration!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

One last view:

That's all for today! Hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Blooming With Kindness Honeycomb! What’s Liam Up to this Week?

Posted on February 5, 2013 by Carol Payne

The most popular card at my CampJustWannaStamp! class this past Saturday was this one with the Blooming With Kindness set and Beautiful Wings Embosslit butterflies!

Here's the inside:

This card would be a perfect encouragement, get well, or sympathy card. I inked the flower stamp from the set with Not Quite Navy ink, stamped off once before stamping on the un-embossed Very Vanilla layer, then kept stamping, finally "huffing" on the remaining ink on the stamp before stamping the final few times.

The "Hope is . . " phrase is was stamped in Early Espresso over a stamped-off flower, then punched out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch.

I've already shown this card on my Facebook Page: Carol Payne Stamps, and it has received more likes than any other card I've ever put on there!

Since it is so popular, I thought I should include the class handout for you to print out if you like:
