Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden!

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"!

Embedded framelit embossing 1
©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.

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:

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!

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!

Stampin’ Up! My Grandkids’ Valentines!

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:


Robot 1
©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!

Ava 1
©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:

Ava 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

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


Cohen 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

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

And inside:

Cohen 2
©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:

Mk 1
©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:

Mk 3
©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!

Can you tell I'm especially pleased with this project?

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

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

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

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!

Blooming with kindness 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Here's the inside:

Blooming with kindness 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

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:

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #4 Everything Eleanor!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #4 Everything Eleanor!

Today's card is the one I promised you yesterday with Summer Starfruit just the way I like it in very small quantities!

Eleanor 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This card may look familiar to you if you have been a follower of Stampin' Up! Demonstrator blogs as it is a CASE of a card that was featured on stage at the Orlando Leadership Conference this year.

It's about a close to a "one layer" card as you will probably every get out of me. I love my layers! But this card has enough cute little details going on that it seems like so much "more" than just one layer to me!

Stamps from "Everything Eleanor" were used in Early Espresso and Rich Razzleberry to create a look of layers on the card base, then the brand-new stamp from "Best of Birthdays" was stamped twice – once in Early Espresso and once in Rich Razzleberry. The Rich Razzleberry "BIRTHDAY" was cut out and layered over the Early Espresso image.

In spite of my confession of not really liking Summer Starfruit, I really DO like the little strip of Sycamore Street Designer Paper that I cut into a banner end , then added a Vintage Faceted Button with a Glue Dot!

A little folded fourth of a Tea Lace Doily was sponged lightly with Early Espresso and added behind the birthday image, and a delicate bow of Early Espresso Baker's Twine was also added with another Glue Dot.

Here's the inside using another "Everything Eleanor" image and a phrase from "Blooming With Kindness":


Eleanor 2

I think this one is my favorite from this class. I hope to get a few spare minutes soon to stamp up the leftovers, or it may be featured at a future hostess workshop, who knows?

Here's the class handout for this card if you wish to have your own copy:

That's all for now. I'm off to help in the nursery at church this morning. I am partnering with my daughter, Jessica, so it should be fun! TWO of my grandson's will be in the nursery with us, as well as several other babies, so I know we will be busy!

Hope you have a restful Sunday. (There's probably a nap in my future this afternoon. Sunday is the only day of the week I allow myself to take a nap!)

See you tomorrow for another "Stampingrox!" day!

That's all for now. I'm off to help in the nursery at church this morning. I am partnering with my daughter, Jessica, so it should be fun! TWO of my grandson's will be in the nursery with us, as well as several other babies, so I know we will be busy!

Hope you have a restful Sunday. (There's probably a nap in my future this afternoon. Sunday is the only day of the week I allow myself to take a nap!)

See you tomorrow for another "Stampingrox!" day!

Stampin’ Up! By the Tide Watercolor Wash!

Stampin’ Up! By the Tide Watercolor Wash!

One of my projects for January Technique Class: By the Tide stamp set with the Watercolor Wash Technique.

Watercolor wash 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

We used Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, and Tangerine Tango Watercolor Crayons
on Whisper White cardstock, then "washed" each color separately with an
AquaPainter, cleaning the brush on a paper towel between each color. The
"By the Tide" images, along with phrases from the "Make a Wish" and "Teeny Tiny Wishes" were stamped over the wash with Jet Black StazOn ink.

Water color wash 2

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

A very simple but effective technique that complements this stamp set perfectly!
