Stampin’Up! Spiral Flower Die!

Stampin’Up! Spiral Flower Die!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm almost ready for my Sale-a-bration Kick-off tomorrow! No sleeping on the couch for me tonight! (If you saw my Leadership presentation, you get the reference, lol!)

Yesterday I played with a lot of fun stuff from the Occasions Catalog! I used the Spiral Flower Originals Die (#129279 $17.95) to create this:

Stampin_up_spiral_flower_die

I used Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper, So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, and Blushing Bride cardstock for all 7 of the roses. After cutting the paper with the Spiral Flower die, I curled all of the spirals with my bone folder, then starting with the outer end of the spiral, I wound each one around itself. When done, I let each one "relax" while I wound the rest of them, then use a hot glut gun to secure the spirals to the built-in base.

I created a belly-band for the Kraft Gift Box with Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper and Wild Wasabi cardstock. After attaching a Tea Lace Doily to the top, I added Wild Wasabi leaves cut with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die and embossed with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder. I then added the flowers with the hot glue gun again, then tucked some Bird Builder punched-leaves to fill in between the blossoms.

I white heat-embossed the tag from Chalk Talk on Wild Wasabi cardstock, cut it out with the Chalk Talk framelit, then mounted it on a piece of Baked Brown Sugar cardstock. Baked Brown Sugar coordinated perfectly with the Kraft Gift Boxes!

After adding the tag under the doily, I then spritzed the entire thing with Vanilla Smooch Spritz. I actually added a bit of spritz to a Stampin' Spritzer, then filled it full of 91% Rubbing Alcohol. This stretches the smooch spritz, allowing more coverage, and also keeps it from clogging the nozzle of the spritzer.

That's all for now! You can order your own Spiral Flower Orignals Die, Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper, and Kraft Gift Boxes from my Online Store HERE.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Sorbet Secret Garden in a Box!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Sorbet Secret Garden in a Box!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been working on projects for my Sale-a-bration Kick-off and played around with a new card construction that has been making the blog rounds lately-a card-in-a-box! Lookie:

Stampin_up_card_in_a_box_1

Isn't it just the cutest thing?

Stampin_up_card_in_a_box_2

I used Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper from the Sale-a-bration brochure, Secret Garden stamps and framelits, window sheets, the 1 1/4" Scallop Circle punch, Neutrals and Subtles Candy Dots, Petite Petals  and Peite Pairs stamps and Petite Petals punch!

Stampin_up_card_in_a_box_3

The coolest thing about this card is it folds flat and fits perfectly inside one of our regular medium envelopes!

Stampin_up_card_in_a_box_4

All the recepient has to do is take it out of the envelope and set it open. Ta da! Instant happy!

Well, that's all for now. I have one more hostess party on Thursday before my SAB kick-off on Friday. I'm ready for Thursday, but still have a few things to prep for Friday. So I'm off to bed a bit earlier than my norm so I can pop up in the a.m. and get going!

To order at least $50 worth of Stampin' Up! products and be able to choose the yummy Sweet Sorbet paper as your free gift, just click HERE to go to my Online Store!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! The Bees’ Knees & Good As Gold!

Stampin’Up! The Bees’ Knees & Good As Gold!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm so excited that it's finally Sale-a-bration time! I have a couple of fun cards to show you, one created with the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio digital cardmaking and scrapbooking software, and one with a fun FREE kit in the Sale-a-bration catalog!

First, I received this card a few days ago from the girl at Stampin' Up! who was in charge of the Share Fair at Leadership!

Stampin_up_mds_bees_knees_1

When I first opened the card, I thought, "hmmm, what is this about?" but then I looked a bit more closely:

Stampin_up_mds_bees_knees_2

Then I opened the card:

Stampin_up_mds_bees_knees_3

It made me laugh! Then I read Katie's note:

Stampin_up_mds_bees_knees_4

This is EXACTLY what Stampin' Up! is all about, whether it is a digitally-created card from My Digital Studio or a hand-stamped one, making someone's day with a personally created and written card!

I do have the MDS program, and I've worked with it a bit, but not enough to really see all the fun things it can do! I'm inspired to find out which download this "bees knees" is a part of and try my hand at it again!

Next, in honor of Sale-a-bration I have a card I put together in a snap with the "Good as Gold" card kit from the SAB brochure:

Stampin_up_good_as_gold_1

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CARD IS FROM THE KIT, including the envelope and the shine Gold Foil liner!

Stampin_up_good_as_gold_4

The banners are pre-printed, the card base has shiney gold dots, the gold banners are pre-cut and the star is ready to punch out! It even includes the stretchy elastic gold string and the Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine! There are enough components in the kit to make 8 full cards with the envelopes!

Stampin_up_good_as_gold_2

The Gold Foil liners are separate from the envelopes in the kit, so I cut off a strip from the bottom edge and then adhered it to the inside of the card for a little bit of continuity!

These cards are really gorgeous! I thought they looked a bit flat and boring when I looked at them in the Sale-a-bration brochure, but when they came in my pre-order I found them to be so easy, quick, AND CUTE!

The BEST thing about this kit is that it can be yours for FREE! YES! Just click HERE to go to my Online Store! When your order total before tax & shipping is $50, you can choose the "Good As Gold" card kit or one of 12 more FREE products! yay!

But that's not all! When your order totals $100 before ship & tax, you get to choose TWO free SAB products! AND when your order totals $150 before ship & tax, you get to choose THREE free SAB products AND you get to choose $25 in free catalog merchandise with your Hostess Benefits! Your order will ship direct to you, and I will send you a thank-you card and email you your Bluesox Rewards tokens to get you on your way to earning free stamps from me! yay!

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

Stampin’Up! Delightful Dozen Valentine!

Stampin’Up! Delightful Dozen Valentine!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I went to Hoyleton tonight to do a Stamp Camp for Ruth Czerwonka, and we had a really good evening! Ruth has been stamping with me for several years. She is also my favorite Pampered Chef lady, so she does at least one P.C. party, sometimes two, for me every year.

Ruth chose 4 really cute cards for her friends to make for the $10 fee. The one I'm going to share with you today is actually a re-do of a valentine I showed you HERE.

Stampin_up_delightful_dozen_1

The stamps I used for the first valentine retired on the 27th, so they would not be available to order when we actually submit the party when it closes. I re-did it with a the valentine greeting from Delightful Dozen, using the same layout and Big Shot products, the Arrows Textured Impressions Folder and Hearts a Flutter Framelit Dies.

Stampin_up_seasonal_sayings_1

Inside I substituted a sentiment from Seasonal Sayings.

Well, that's all for now! Sale-a-bration starts in  just a few hours, yay! A free product from the Sale-a-bration brochure for every $50 you spend (before tax & shipping) yay!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
