Kathy sikora 1

Kathy didn't stamp her pumpkin scene with Early Espresso before she embossed the Baked Brown Sugar layer with the Woodgrain folder, so she clear embossed it on a scrap of Very Vanilla, cut it out with another leaf from the Autumn Accents Die, and then sponged on her color. I just had to take a picture of it!

Stampin’ Up! Snow Day for Debbie!

Stampin’ Up! Snow Day for Debbie!

Today (Saturday) I had the pleasure to introduce my dear sister-in-law, Debbie, to Stampin' Up! Debbie & I have been married to brothers for over 30 years, we were pregnant with our first three babies almost at the same times, and we have considered  each other our "partners in crime" for most of that time!

This weekend Debbie came up for a visit from her home in Franklin, TN, and went to a Stamp-a-Stack workshop with me. Deb has been watching me with my Stampin' Up! business for the past almost 11 years, but had never had a chance to actually stamp. She got to stamp today, ALOT! – 10 cards to be exact, and she loved it! She especially fell in love with the happy little snowman from the Snow Day stamp set. When we got home we designed this for her to make a stack of winter notecards:

Snow day for debbie

We pulled some elements from a few other Snow Day cards I had for her to see, then designed this simple card that is not really Christmas, but is more winter than anything else. The card base is Smoky Slate, layered with Whisper White and Winter Frost Designer Paper. Another layer of Smokey Slate, followed by the Whisper White layer for the snowman image stamped in Pool Party. We "stamped off" the ink on the snowflake stamp once on the grid sheet before stamping each snowflake. His smiley face and arms are Jet Black StazOn, his nose is Tangerine Tango, and his scarf and heart are Real Red. We are leaving the inside blank so she can use it all fall winter as a notecard for whatever occasion or reason she needs.

I really enjoyed sharing my love of stamping with her today! Sharing what I love is definitely one of my passions. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Don't forget, there's only TWO days left to purchas the $25 Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Starter Kit! FIVE new demonstrators have already joined the first level of my team of Yes Mam! Stampers!, will you be next? Let me know if you need any help!

Stampin’ Up! Yes, Mam’s Aleta Heern & Sherry Peyton!

Stampin’ Up! Yes, Mam’s Aleta Heern & Sherry Peyton!

After featuring Linda Reaney and Angela Henson this week, I couldn't leave out a couple more great downline friends of mine, Aleta & Sherry!

First, Aleta Heern is my "oldest" downline member. By "oldest"  I don't mean her age, she is the gal who has been in my downline the longest, since February of 2005! Although I had several downline join my group before Aleta, none of those girls are still around. It happens. Stampin' Up! can fit your lifestyle and needs for a few years, and then things change and it's time to move on. Life is all about change. But while Aleta joined Stampin' Up! just to get the discount on her own purchases, she found stamping friends and now has a fun, loyal group she stamps with monthly. Her word for it is "play days". Sound great to me!

Here's Aleta's creation from our downline meeting this past Sunday using Joyful Christmas, Whisper White, Brushed Gold, Island Indigo, and the Encore Metallic Gold inkpad:

Aleta heern

Sherry Peyton is a more recent addition to my group, joining in September of last year. This is Sherry's second round as a demo. That's one of the great things about Stampin' Up! Just because you have to take a break for whatever reason, you can always come back!

Here's Sherry's creation using my favorite from the Holiday Catalog, Snow Day. Clean and simple, perfect for the beginning stamper but also great for a Stamp-a-Stack or to mass-produce for your Christmas card this year!

Sherry peyton 1

Sherry combined Pacific Point, Pool Party, and Whisper White cardstock with Winter Frost Designer Paper to create a perfect wintery background for the adorable snowman from this set. She added "pops" of red in his toboggan hat and scarf. Love it!

That's all for now. I have oodles to get done before my dear sister-in-law, Debbie, comes in for a weekend visit!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sprinkley Pink Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Sprinkley Pink Birthday!

I was prepping some projects for a SAS I'm doing for a hostess this weekend and remembered I had intended to use the layout from one of the Christmas cards as a birthday card. You can see my original card HERE. I took that layout and inspiration and created this card:
Sprinkly pink birthday 1

I created the cake with 1/2" wide strips of Silver Glimmer paper, alternated with 1/2" strips of Strawberry Slush Designer Collection Paper. I adhered it to a layer of Pink Pirouette Designer Collection Paper. The Silver Glimmer paper I used Tombow glue to adhere it because it has a plastic-y backing that SNAIL adhesive won't stick to.

Sprinkly pink birthday 2

I really like the candles and flames for this cake. I flipped the Strawberry Slush polka-dot paper over and punched it with the candle of the Cupcake Builder punch. I really like how the chevron-pattern of the paper mimics the swirls on birthday candles. I punched a Silver Glimmer paper scrap with the flames of the Cupcake Builder punch. I adhered the candles and the flames to the card with Tombow glue that I applied to the pieces with a toothpick.

Sprinkly pink birthday 3

The Strawberry Slush-stamped greeting is from Remembering Your Birthday. I cut it out with a Chalk Talk Framelit, and added a Whisper White Organza bow with a Glue Dot.

Sprinkly pink birthday 4

Inside I continued the pink-sprinkley theme with a "happy birthday" from the same Remebering Your Birthday set, and added "my friend" from Six Sided Sampler. I punched Silver Glimmer paper and Strawberry Slush Designer Collection paper with the Cupcake Builder Punch again for my final embellishment.

That's all for now! I wish one of my granddaughter's birthdays' was not so far away, I can hardly wait to give them this card!

You can order the supplies for this card from my Online Store, www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Go check it out! In addition to the current Weekly Deals, there's also a Thursday Thank-You Special for Thursday, October 17th only!

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