Stampin’ Up! Work of Art in a Lost Lagoon!

Stampin’ Up! Work of Art in a Lost Lagoon!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Friday's Open House was a smash hit! Lots of catalogs given out, grab-bags grabbed, cards made, and lots of BOGO products out the door!

Guess you can tell from today's title that the second Make & Take color choice is Lost Lagoon:

Stampin_up_work_of_art_lost_lagoon_1

The same layout as yesterday's Blackberry Bliss card, same Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack, same ribbon, just all in Lost Lagoon.

I pulled the Hello Honey color from the designer paper to stamp the heart accent.

That's all for now. I'm headed for bed! One more Open House session on Saturday afternoon and then it's relaxing time for me!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Work of Art with Blackberry Bliss!

Stampin’ Up! Work of Art with Blackberry Bliss!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a quick post as I am making my final preparations for my New Catalog Premiere Open House today and Saturday.

Today I'm sharing the Make n' Take using the fab new catalog set, Work of Art, and the yummy new In Color, Blackberry Bliss! Yes, all the shades of purple are from the same inkpad! I just inked once, stamped full strength, stamped a second time without reinking, then "breathed" on the stamp before the third and fourth stamping. Delish!

Stampin_up_blackberry_bliss_1

The Blackberry Bliss cardstock, ink, and 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon are all NEW products, as well as the Work of Art stamp set and the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack. I used the Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad, which will be available mid-summer along with the Stampin' Blendabilites markers for my greeting and sentiment stamping. Can I just say it's my favorite black ink EVER?! You are going to love it too, I'm sure. It's crisp, clean, dark, and doesn't smear! yay!

I added individual sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim with glue dots for the perfect final accent!

There's not much to put on a supply list because most of the products will not be available to order online until June 2nd, but I will try to edit this post on the 2nd to add them.

This is one of two new In Color combos my stamping friends will have to choose from. Which color do you think is the alternate choice? Come back tomorrow to find out!

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Crystal Effects Pansies!

Stampin’ Up! Crystal Effects Pansies!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Tuesday but it feels like a Monday, doesn't it?

Just a few more days before the new Stampin' Up! catalog kicks in. If you want to receive a new catalog from me but haven't ordered from me before, just contact me by email: carol@carolpaynestamps.com. Include your email and snail mail address. I will send you a Paypal invoice for the Priority Postage ($5.60). You don't have to have a Paypal account to pay from a Paypal invoice) After I receive payment I will put your catalog in the mail and you will have it within 2-3 business days, and I will also include a coupon for $6 off your first order!

While playing with ideas for custom embellishments I created this fun card:

Stampin_up_crystal_effects_pansies_1
Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper, Midnight Muse and Coastal Cabana cardstock all punched with the Pansy and Petite Petals Punches. Gumball Green leaves cut with the Secret Garden framelit (I'm really going to miss that die set, but I received the new Flower Fair Framelits while on the cruise so they will help me feel better! lol!)

The greeting is from Loving Thoughts,(which is retiring and sold out in clear-mount but still available in wood-mount)

Stampin_up_crystal_effects_pansies_4

After punching the flowers I adhered them to glue dot packaging strips with the glue dots still attached. The flowers would then be ready to attach after the Crystal Effects dried.

Stampin_up_crystal_effects_pansies_5

I covered each flower with a thin layer (or sometimes not so thin!) of Crystal Effects, then added pearls for my centers. I allowed them to lay flat overnight to dry completely before transferring to my project.

A background with Off the Grid (retired & sold out) and greeting from Delightful Dozen (also retired & sold out).

That's all for now. To order the Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper, Secret Garden Framelits, Loving Thoughts in wood-mount, and Midnight Muse ink before they are  gone on June 1st click HERE to shop in my Online Store or click on any of the images below in the supply list.

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day, on Monday!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day, on Monday!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! My weekend got pretty filled up with family time and prepping for family time. My hubby and kids ordered the new sectional I wanted for Mother's Day, but I needed to do some carpet cleaning and re-arranging before it arrived. Here's the result after giving away two couches and a piano:

Sectional

I must admit because of the DDOS atacks on the Typepad platform lately it has been hard to stay focused on blogging. I apologize for the interruptions and my lack of posts. I plan to continue blogging no matter what, so don't give up on me.

Here are my Sunday Swap Day swaps, on Monday!

Friends Who Know, a new catalog stamp, by Stella MacKay:

Stampin_up_friends_who_know_stella_mackay

Work of Art. I'm not sure who is the creator of this card, but I love it!

Everything Eleanor and Petite Petals by Patty Chenail:

Stampin_up_everything_eleanor_patty chenail

 So Very Happy by BJ Peters:

Stampin_up_mixed_bunch_bj_peters

Lee Conrey's swap was pretty special. She donates her retired swap fronts to an organization for exceptional adults. They turn her swap fronts into notebooks. Lee purchased the books from the organization to give to us as her swap. What a great idea to support them from both ends! Lee does charity stamping functions monthly and has built her business upon giving back to others. Lee lives in Florida, but because of Stampin' Up! I am so blessed to know her.

Lee conrey

Here's the contact info of the organization:

Lee conrey two

 That's all for now. Just one week left before we can order from the new catalog, and just four more sleeps until my New Catalog Premiere Open House! yay!

The Retired List Blowout Sale is still going on! If you haven't checked it out yet, go to my Online Store HERE!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
