Stampin’ Up! Desktop Calendar Display!

Posted on September 18, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hello! Today I want to share with you a product from the Annual Catalog no one seems to notice or know about. I call it a "sleeper" product, because it is a gem worth noticing! It is the Desktop Calendar Display:

Located on page 194 of the Annual Catalog, this gem is designed and intended to "display a cute calendar or other project on your desk". I'm going to use them for display at my events because they hold the card securely, yet leaving it accessible to remove to inspect and view the inside.

The case will stay upright due to the "flip-back" design of the cover to create the wide base for the display.

I have tried several other types of stands, clips, and what-not to display my cards over the years, each with it's own unique challenges: the stand falls over easily, the card falls off (usually onto an open ink pad!), or the clips used leave dents in the card, making it unacceptable to send to anyone later.

But here's the winning benefit of using these display cases for my cards:

I can close each case with the card inside, protecting it during transport and storage! I see myself ordering SEVERAL of these in the near future! yay!

The item code for the Desktop Calendar Display is #127033, $1.95 each. These would be perfect to include with a snapshot gift for relatives this coming holiday season. A frame that doubles as the gift box AND storage! Cool!

Well, I need to get busy with some paper-cutting for the Nancy fundraiser this Friday!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Fall Thankfulness!

Posted on September 14, 2013 by Carol Payne

Wow, what a FUN day I've had, stamping, laughing, and sharing with good friends!

Since I've spent my day stamping away but working on class kits for club members who were unable to attend this month, I do not have anything new to show you, so I'm relying on my stash of monthly swaps for today's post!

Laura Milligan created this card using the Pretty Print Textured Impressions Folder and the Harvest of Thanks stamp set. Laura used the new Deco Label Framelits to cut out the turkey image. I especially lke the way she spritzed (or splattered) the Early Espresso reinker over it as a finshing touch!

Megan Wheeler did a beautiful job on her card using one of the Expressions Thinlets Dies and Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper!

And finally, Rhonda Bassler used the Pretty Print folder and Harvest of Thanks stamps with Sweater Weather Designer Paper. I love how there are so many different designs in each pack of paper, you can always find something to coordinate perfectly on your project! A bit of Burlap 1 1/4" Ribbon, a leaf cut from the Autumn Accents Die, and a greeting cut with an Itty Bitty Banners Framelit add texture and interest. Rhonda also cut out the "HARVEST of Blessings" image with an Apothercary Accents Framelit.

That's all for now! Don't forget my Online Ordering Special going on thru Sunday, September 22nd:

Stampin’Up! Sketched Birthday Again!

Posted on July 23, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! It's Tuesday, which means Oakley will be ONE WEEK OLD TODAY! It's been an amazing week! We are so thankful he is here, is healthy, and is doing well (and so is his Mommy)!

Today's swap card was created by Meg Wheeler. Meg used a Raspberry Ripple cardbase with layers of Birthday Basics Designer Paper and Bermuda Bay from the Brights Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stack. A bit of Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Ribbon add a festive touch behind the paper-pieced "Happy Birthday Cupcake" scalloped medallion.

Inside is the really fun part! The Big Shot Typeset Alphabet Bigz-cut "HAPPY" is attached to strips of acrylic Window Sheet inserted into the fold of the card so it pops up!

Meg used My Digital Studio to create the extra-large "Birthday" sentiment, then stamped the candle from Cycle Celebration.

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

Stampin’ Up! Label Love/Alphabet Press!

Posted on July 18, 2013 by Carol Payne

Just a quick post. Alisa, Cody, and baby Oakley are coming home from the hospital today and I am packing to go spend the next week with them! yay!

Until I get a chance to show you more Oakley pics, here's a card for you:

This is one of my convention swaps. (Even though I didn't get to go, I am still participating in a couple of organized swaps. I signed up for them a long time ago, before it became apparent that Oakley was waiting to come because wanted his Grammie to stay home with him instead!)

Stamps: Label Love, Make a Wish, Off the Grid

Paper: Early Espresso, Crisp Cantaloupe, Very Vanilla, Soho Subway Designer Paper

Ink: Crisp Cantaloupe, Early Espresso, Sahara Sand

Accessories: Artisan Label Punch, Brayer, Big Shot, Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Folder, 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon (in the upcoming Holiday Catalog), Neutrals Candy Dots

Stampingrox Technique Tip: I brayered the negative (flat) side of the Alphabet Press folder with Crisp Cantaloupe ink before inserting the Crisp Cantaloupe paper and cranking through the Big Shot to achieve the tone-on-tone darker look for the letters! Fun! You could also sponge the ink or rub the inkpad directly on the folder if you do not yet own a brayer.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
