Stampin’ Up! Leadership Spiral Flower Die, Fringe Scissors, and More!

Posted on January 11, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Last day of Leadership was today. Sad. But Leadership being over means I will be on my way home on Sunday and start getting ready to share all I have learned with my stampers and my downline! Sweet! I had a fabulous time at Leadership, it's true, but now it's time to go home and put all these great new ideas into practice! I can hardly wait! yay!

Here's more of the pictures I wanted to share with you last night but the hotel internet wouldn't let me upload:

The Demonstrator Resource Center, in addition to the Blendabilities demonstration, also had a girl making tons of these adorable flowers with the Spiral Flower Die. So cute! Depending on how tightly you roll them, how much you let them relax after rolling, and where you adhere them, you can make an endless variety of shapes and sizes of flowers! The one on the right is a sucker treat. You just cut the flower with the die, but then instead of rolling tightly and adhering you just punch a hole in the base of the spiral and insert a sucker on a stick! Key-utte! These would make fun valentine or birthday party favors!

Here's another treat flower, only this time the flower has been adhered together with Secret Garden Framelit-cut leaves and a Pearl Basic Jewel added! The flower and the sentiment from Love You to the Moon have been added to the lollipop package with Glue Dots.

More possibilities with the Spiral Flower Die.

Sponged edges with Crisp Cantaloupe ink and the die will cut felt, (and fabric too!).

Gold glittered edges . . .

A flowery heart wreath!

Another style of flower you can create with a new Occasions Catalog product, the Fringe Scissors! At $9.95, these 5-bladed scissors are a great value!

Here's a couple of swaps I was able to take pictures of! The People Like You stamp has been clear embossed on Very Vanilla which had already been stamped with the En Francais background. After clear embossing, the creator of this swap (I just took a picture of this one, I don't have the original to be able to give you the creator's name!) then sponged or brayered the Pear Pizzazz and then Marina Mist (I think) ink over the image. Embossed images will resist the ink, allowing you to wipe away the excess ink with a tissue. The technique is called "emboss resist"! LOVE it!

Finally, the creator of this swap achieved a lovely vintage look with the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Folder, Pink Pirouette and Very Vanilla cardstock, Victoria Crochet Trim, Petite Petals stamp and Petite Petal punch, Ovals Collection Framelits, Pearls Basic Jewels,******* greeting, and Crumb Cake sponging!

Well, I've got to close for now and go get packed! Our flight takes off at 2:05 tomorrow afternoon!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Santa’s List!

Posted on December 17, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I managed to get my swap in the mail before the deadline to mail Priority, then spent the rest of the stamping day working on the projects to mail out to the Online Ordering customers who placed orders to choose Christmas Catch-Up projects. I'm almost done, which is a good thing, considering I still have a bit more shopping, wrapping, cleaning, and decorating to do before my family starts arriving next week! Whew! It's going to be close, but I have a list, so I'm chipping away on it every day!

I thought about saving these swaps for this coming Sunday, but since we are just barely a week away from Christmas Day, I decided I'd better go ahead and share these with you. These all were created using the Santa's List set in the Holiday Catalog:

Kathy Morgan used a Christmas Tagables Photopolymer stamp for ther "do not open .. " greeting on the front.

Next, Linda Pagel chose to make her gift card holder an easel card:

And last, Lorraine Duran used a Window Frame Framelit and a Very Merry Tags stamp along with Santa's list for her creation:

The pocket for the giftcard opens up matchbook-style:

That's all for now! If you have procrastinated and haven't ordered Santa's List yet, there's still time! You can click HERE to shop in my Online Store. While you are there you can also shop the Clearance Rack, the Annual Catalog, and the latest Weekly Deals, which are DOUBLE the number of deals than usual!

Email, text, or Facebook me if you have any questions!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Remembering Christmas Goes Camo!

Posted on October 2, 2013 by Carol Payne

I've been finalizing my projects for my classes this weekend, so I've been having fun stamping my heart out!

Today's card uses the Holiday Catalog set, Remembering Christmas, is a different way:

The neatest feature of this card I CASED from this card I showed you HERE. Meg Wheeler used one of the Clear-Mount Perfectly Placed Guides to create her "bullseye/scope" effect, so I repeated it for my card. I put the guide on my copier, copied it 6 times, then cut out all 6 of the guides I needed to cover one sheet of copy paper. I was then able to copy them onto a piece of 8 1/2 x 11" Very Vanilla. After cutting each "bullseye" with my Paper Trimmer, I then stamped the deer on it with Chocolate Chip ink and my Stamp-a-majig.

After the deer was stamped I then added my "camo" look by stamping three different stamps from Gorgeous Grunge around him with Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake ink. I finished my dirty-hunting look with Crumb Cake sponged all around the edges.

Stamps: Remembering Christmas #131760 Wood $17.95 #131763 Clear $13.95, Gorgeous Grunge #130514 Wood $24.95 #130517 Clear $17.95, Hello Lovely #128610 Wood $32.95 #130243 Clear $24.95

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Very Vanilla

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz

Big Shot: Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder #127821 $7.95

Accessories: Clear-Mount Perfectly Placed Guides #121785 $5.95, Stampin' Sponge, 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon #132140 $7.95, Modern Label Punch, Paper Snips, Neutrals Candy Dots #130934 $5.95, Stamp-a-majig #101049 $11.95, SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multi-Purpose Glue

"You're the BEST" is actually the "Thank You You're the BEST" stamp from Hello Lovely. After stamping in Chocolate Chip ink I hand-cut with my Paper Snips, omitting the "thank you". It is adhered with SNAIL adhesive to the Garden Green Modern Label that I sponged with Crumb Cake ink. I flanked the greeting with two Chocolate Chip Candy Dots from the Neutrals package. The label is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to the cut-down-snipped-and-frayed piece of 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon. I adhered the Burlap Ribbon to the card front with Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive Glue.

I always have the hardest time deciding what to stamp on the inside of my card, but this time was no problem! I continued the "camo" look with the Gorgeous Grunge stamps and the "you make me happy", which is also from Hello, Lovely!

That's all for now! Thanks so much for stopping in to see my creation today!

Stampin’ Up! Stamp For Nancy!

Posted on September 20, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hello! Today I want to show you up close three of the six cards we will be making at the "Stamp For Nancy" fundraiser this Friday night. Some of them you've seen before, but others are brand-new!

Cycle Celebration birthday inspired by Dena Rekow:

All of the stamped images are from Cycle Celebration. The card base is Bermuda Bay and then Birthday Basics Designer Paper is layered on Raspberry Ripple cardstock. A Bermuda Bay 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon and Clear Dazzling Details will be our finishing touches!

Next, my original creation using the Label Love stamp set and the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Folder:

The Early Espresso card base is layered with Crisp Cantaloupe. Crisp Cantaloupe ink was added to the inside of the textured impressions folder by rubbing the inkpad directly onto the negative side of the folder. Lots of fun banners on this card, using 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon, Early Espresso cardstock, and Soho Subway Designer Paper. A single Early Espresso Candy Dot is the finishing touch in the lower right corner for this one!

Inside verse is from the Make a Wish stamp set, accented with the Off the Grid background stamp.

Next up is a Gingham Garden Washi Tape card. This card is just so bright & cheery!

Island Indigo card base, layered with Whisper White! The Bitty Butterfly was punched from the Melon Mambo cardstock, then the Artisan Label was punched around the negative image left after the butterfly piece has been removed. It is layered over several rows Gingham Garden Washi Tape. "You can never have too much happy" is stamped in Melon Mambo ink and accented by a Daffodil Delight Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack scallop circle flower and a rhinestone.

"Happy Birthday" is from the Rembering Your Birthday set. The bitty butterfly punched previously is used here as more embellishment!

That's all for now! I will be back tomorrow with the three Christmas Cards we will make!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
