Stampin’ Up! Owl Ribbon Card and Our Family Easter Celebration!

Stampin’ Up! Owl Ribbon Card and Our Family Easter Celebration!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Yesterday was a fun day! Let me share with you a few snapshots of the day:
The waiters
 Maddie Kate, Ava, and Cohen waiting for Jaxon to get a chance to find a few eggs before we let them go at it! (Liam was napping)
Jaxon 2
Jaxon was a bit confused, "what is this doing out here?"
Jaxon 3
"Oh, you want me to put it in here?"
The hunters
Then we let the rest of them loose! Ava and Cohen were in hot competiton for those eggs!

Cody & sweed & oakley
Sweed & Cody (baby Oakley will be here in July!)

Liam and Cohen managed to acquire pumpknots on their heads at the same time with the same toy! Not an easy thing to accomplish, at 5 years and 8 months! They were fine, just have red bumps!

I have one fun card to show you today. This cute little owl was a swap my downline, Angela, received at the Regional!

The creator, (have no idea who) used current and retired ribbons for the feathers! Cute idea to use up ribbon scraps!

That's all for now! Hope you have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Flowers #4!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Flowers #4!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Hope you are having a good day! I am, or at least will once I get a little bit more awake! Spending time here on my blog with you all helps get me going!

Here's the final card I created for my "Best Of . . " class this weekend. I loved this little hydrangea stamp when it was a big stamp in the Hostess set a couple of years ago, and I love it even more now as a miniature of the original!

I did the "Stained Glass" technique for this card. Heat embossed the flower with White Embossing Powder on White Vellum cardstock, then flipped it over and colored the back side of the vellum with Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery Stampin' Write Markers. When you flip the vellum back over to the white embossed side the color shows through the frosty paper, giving it a soft and pretty look! I attached the vellum layer to the white layer underneath with 3 Glue Dots behind the colored areas of the flower so they don't show through.

Everything is cut out with the Floral Frames Framelits and the Big Shot. I dug out my long-neglected pack of Twitterpated Designer Paper for the color scheme of Certainly Celery, Marina Mist, & Whisper White! The greeting is from Friendly Phrases.

Inside I used Beautiful Birthday again, just like I did for this card HERE. I love the font and size of this stamp, it's perfect for a soft, feminine card like this one.

Well, now that I am awake, I need to get busy! Today's class starts at 1 p.m.!

See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Flowers #1!

Good morning! Today is an exciting day for me! I get to go shopping ALL DAY with ALL of my daughters and my oldest granddaughter! I can't wait!

In addition to shopping, my youngest daughter, Alisa, (who is expecting my 6th grandchild, a boy! in July) will be starting her baby registry! I love it!

Since I have a few minutes before we leave, thought I would show you another of the cards we will be making tomorrow and Saturday at my "Best Of" Class!

I received a card with this general layout from Kathy Alt at last Saturday's Stampin' Up! St. Louis Regional, so I changed out the colors and designer paper, changed the greeting, added a technique and a Rhinestone, to make it my own!

Using the Best of Flowers stamp set, of course, I inked the miniature "Upsy Daisies" (Did you know that the re-issued stamps from the past are minatures of the originals? They are, which makes them perfect as an addition to the originals!) first in Wisteria Wonder ink, and then sponged on some Rich Razzleberry before stamping all together on the Whisper White!

I did the same inking technique on the "Oh Hello" stamp from the Oh Hello Stamp set. What do you think? After using this technique on the Tea Shoppe card HERE, I am having fun coming up with new ink color combos. Some colors don't look well together, and some, such as Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant, really look almost the same when used together, so some experimentation is fun!

It probably doesn't look like it in this photo, but the chevron oval is actually stamped in Basic Gray!

Here's my Wisteria Wonder-inked stamp being sponged with Rich Razzleberry ink!

Same inking technique for the inside word from Amazing Family!

Here's a quick tutorial to make the Oval Punch Faux Bow:

Fold each punched oval gently and attach ends together with Glue Dots.

Attach both folded ovals
to DSP strip with Glue Dots.

To finish off center of bow, add a small strip of designer paper, a button, or a punched out shape with a Glue Dot.

That's all I have time for today! See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!
