Stampin’Up! Build a Banner Christmas Joy!

Stampin’Up! Build a Banner Christmas Joy!

Posted on by Carol Payne

I received my final paper-copy of Papercrafts this weekend, (it's going to all digital delivery from now on)and a sample on the cover inspired me to create this with my Build a Banner Simply Created Kit:

Joy 1

I used the stencils in the kit to sponge the "j" with Early Espresso, the "o" with Real Red, and the "y" with Garden Green on the Crumb Cake layer. After sponging the "joy" letters, I then sponged the dots with the dotted stencil and Whisper White Craft ink.

I inked just the "Christmas" on the "a very merry Christmas to you" from More Merry Messages with a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker. I cut it out with one of the Bitty Banner Framelits. I dotted the "j" with a Champagne Glimmer Paper star.

Joy 2
 Inside I stamped images from the "Wishing You" stamp set.

I'm going to miss my paper issues of "Papercrafts". It seems like an oxymoron for a magazine named "Papecrafts" isn't available on paper anymore, but my blog is delivered to you digitally, so I guess that's just another bit of progress, isn't it?

You can order your Build a Banner Simply Created Kit (#133507 $19.95) from my Online Store. You can get there by clicking on the "shop now" button" here on my blog.

That's all for now. Thanks so much for stopping in to see me today. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day Snowflakes!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day Snowflakes!

Posted on by Carol Payne

For my Sunday Swap Day I decided to share with you some of the cute cards I have received as swaps featuring snowflakes!

Jan rodrian 2
Jan Rodrian used the Circle Thinlet Card Die, Winter Frost Designer Paper, a snowflake from the Snowflake Soiree set (on the Holiday Catalog Carryover List), and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel!

Jan rodrian 1
When you open and "flip" the card you see the "merry" and more snowflakes from Snowflake Soiree, along with a phrase from another Carryover set, More Merry Messages!

Megan daves 1
Meg Daves also used the Circle Card Thinlet Die and Winter Frost Designer Paper, adding a current Holiday Catalog snowflake from the Festive Flurry set which she cut out with a coordinating Festive Flurry Framelit!


Megan daves p
Meg finished her "flip" side with a phrase from the Holiday Catalog set, Christms Messages.

Tamie ackerson 1
Tamie Ackerson combined the Christmas Collectibles stamp & punch with the tried-and-true Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder and the new Stylish Stripes Folder. The "hanger" for the ornament is the new 1/8" Silver ribbon.

Tamie ackerson 2
Tamie stamped the inside of her card with one of the four fun greetings in the Joy to the World set.

Karen kurz 1
Karen Kurz white heat-embossed the cute little Snow Day snowman on Coastal Cabana cardstock, then stamped the snowflakes from the same set to complement the Winter Frost Designer Specialty Paper.

Karen kurz 2
Circle Thinlet Cards are really hot right now, and a fun feature of the die is the ability to add an extra flap, which Karen did for hers. She used a phrase from Petite Pairs to finish this card off just right!

Cathy stephenson 1
Last but definitely not least, Cathy Stephenson used the "dryer sheet" technique to add the look of snow over her stamped "Lovely As a Tree" trees.

Cathy stephenson 2 p
"Merry Christmas" from More Merry Messages says it all.

That's all for now. Thanks so much for stopping by today. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Wreath with Baby Wipes!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Wreath with Baby Wipes!

Posted on by Carol Payne

I had a good day of playing with my stamps on Wednesday. Mainly I worked on projects for my classes this weekend (which I still have some room in the Saturday classes from 1-6, by the way), but after playing with the Wonderful Wreath stamp for a Christmas Card I decided to back up a bit and use this stamp for a fall card too:

Fall wonderful wreath

I used the Baby Wipe Technique to ink the stamp with Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive! I used the Beautiful Baroque Textured Impressions folder on the Cajun Craze layer. Before attaching the Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding bow with a Glue Dot I moistened the ends of the ribbon and crumpled them with my fingers. The greeting, "thanks is for giving" is from Seasonal Sayings. I cut it out with one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies. After matting the greeting with an Early Espresso label the same size but cut in half to "stretch" it, I added a Cherry Cobbler Candy Dot to each side of the "thanks".

Wonderful wreath 2
Inside the card I inked the Wonderful Wreath stamp with the Baby Wipe pad to stamp the wreath again. I stamped a phrase from Field Flowers inside the wreath.

This card will be one of the 6 cards we will be making at my "Falling Into Fall" Card Class on Friday, October 18th from 1-9 p.m. Class fee is a low $10 to make all 6 cards with envelopes. Class is free with a $25 order.

Online Order Option: You will receive the 6 completed cards via SNAIL mail when you place your order of at least $25 in my Online Store using this Hostess Code: 2A3JZMXZ Your order must be submitted by Midnight, October 18, 2013 to qualify.

That's all for now! Thanks so much for stopping in today! Unti tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Remembering Christmas Goes Camo!

Stampin’Up! Remembering Christmas Goes Camo!

Posted on by Carol Payne

I've been finalizing my projects for my classes this weekend, so I've been having fun stamping my heart out!

Today's card uses the Holiday Catalog set, Remembering Christmas, is a different way:

Remembering Christmas 1

The neatest feature of this card I CASED from this card I showed you HERE. Meg Wheeler used one of the Clear-Mount Perfectly Placed Guides to create her "bullseye/scope" effect, so I repeated it for my card. I put the guide on my copier, copied it 6 times, then cut out all 6 of the guides I needed to cover one sheet of copy paper. I was then able to copy them onto a piece of 8 1/2 x 11" Very Vanilla. After cutting each "bullseye" with my Paper Trimmer, I then stamped the deer on it with Chocolate Chip ink and my Stamp-a-majig.

After the deer was stamped I then added my "camo" look by stamping three different stamps from Gorgeous Grunge around him with Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake ink. I finished my dirty-hunting look with Crumb Cake sponged all around the edges.

Stamps: Remembering Christmas #131760 Wood $17.95 #131763 Clear $13.95, Gorgeous Grunge #130514 Wood $24.95 #130517 Clear $17.95, Hello Lovely #128610 Wood $32.95 #130243 Clear $24.95

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Very Vanilla

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz

Big Shot: Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder #127821 $7.95

Accessories: Clear-Mount Perfectly Placed Guides #121785 $5.95, Stampin' Sponge, 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon #132140 $7.95, Modern Label Punch, Paper Snips, Neutrals Candy Dots #130934 $5.95, Stamp-a-majig #101049 $11.95, SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multi-Purpose Glue

Remembering Christmas 3

"You're the BEST" is actually the "Thank You You're the BEST" stamp from Hello Lovely. After stamping in Chocolate Chip ink I hand-cut with my Paper Snips, omitting the "thank you". It is adhered with SNAIL adhesive to the Garden Green Modern Label that I sponged with Crumb Cake ink. I flanked the greeting with two Chocolate Chip Candy Dots from the Neutrals package. The label is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to the cut-down-snipped-and-frayed piece of 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon. I adhered the Burlap Ribbon to the card front with Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive Glue.

Remembering Christmas 2
I always have the hardest time deciding what to stamp on the inside of my card, but this time was no problem! I continued the "camo" look with the Gorgeous Grunge stamps and the "you make me happy", which is also from Hello, Lovely!

That's all for now! Thanks so much for stopping in to see my creation today!
