Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry!

Posted on August 12, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Monday morning to you! Hope you had a good weekend! I had a fun class on Saturday! Lots of lovely ladies here to stamp, which I love!

I actually had TWO classes happening at the same time that day; my monthly WOW (Simply WOW) Class and my monthly Christmas Card Class. It's exhausting, but TONS of fun!

Today's card is a CASE (with my own tweaks of course!) of a card by Kirsteen Gill using the Festive Flurry Bundle from the Hoiday Catalog:

Kirsteen's was bling-less, but I added the Rhinestones, and used the cut-out piece from the center of the snowflake to stamp the greeting.

I used Smoky Slate for the card base. I love that we now have a light gray color again. I love our Brushed Silver & Gold cardstocks, but they are a bit pricey to use as a card base. Smoky Slate is a perfect silvery-gray color that can ecomonically used as the card base when the illusion of shine is needed.

I used Shimmery White for the top layer and the snowflake cut-outs. It's just the perfect weight and shine for the snowflakes on this card!

To make this card quick & easy, we used pieces of Winter Frost Specialty Designer Paper inside the cut-out opening. Accented with Basic Jewel Rhinestones and stamped with a Petite Pairs greeting, this card is an easy WOW!

Inside is also quick and easy: Smoky Slate-stamped Festive Flurry snowflakes and the corresponding phrase from Petite Pairs stamped in Island Indigo!

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

Stampin’ Up! Snow Day!

Posted on August 10, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! We had a fun family birthday party for Ava last night! I love being able to spend time with my family!

Today's card is one we are making at my August Christmas card Class this afternoon:

Isn't this little guy adorable? We will be using the Snow Day stamp set from page 25 of the new Holiday Catalog along with Season of Style Designer Paper from page 22, and the Naughty & Nice This and That Rotary Stamp from page 25!

Inside we are stamping one of the phrases from the Warmth & Wonder hostess set on page 39 of the Holiday Catalog. The phrase and the snowflake stamp are part of this 7 stamp set that only hostesses are allowed to purchase with their Hostess Benefits.

You can be a Hostess two different ways:

1. Hostess an in-person party with me where you and your friends make two free cards (this can be local where I bring the party to you or I can ship a "party box" to you!)

2. Go to my website and submit an order that amounts to at least $150 before shipping and tax. Click on the "Shop Now" button here on this blog to go to my website.

Don't forget, all Online Orders of at least $25 qualify for my Bluesox Rewards Program!

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

Stampin’ Up! Wetlands!

Posted on August 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Yesterday was a CRAZY day! A crazy but extremely fun day! During the course of the day I cared for all of my grandchildren except one, with 5 of the 6 at my house for the evening at the same time! Maddie Kate (who is 12), was the only one I didn't see today. Ava (who just turned 8 on Monday) was INVALUABLE help, let me tell ya! We had three babies needing diaper changes at just about the same time, so between Ava and my sweet hubby helping, we survived! Liam goes home with his mommy today around noon, and then we go to Ava's family birthday party tonight! After my classes on Saturday I think I need to have a collapse scheduled, but it may have to wait until Sunday afternoon. As long as it is accompanied by a nap, I think I can make it!

Understandably I did no new stamping yesterday, so I am relying on my collection of convention swaps to fill in the gap today, and I've a nice collection of Wetlands swaps for you today!

This first swap is by Deb McCahan. I believe Deb combined brayering and sponging to get this great sunset look! I have to confess when I first saw this set in the new catalog this set didn't particularly appeal to me because of the goose image, but it didn't take long for these little shorebirds to win me over, not to mention the great greetings this set has to offer.

Kathy Johnson went simple and masculine with the Canada goose image in this set.

This swap has no name, which is a shame, because it's a good one! The creator combined By the Tide images with Wetlands to make a really well-done thinking of you card.

Last but definitely not least, Teresa Howe created this beauty by markering on a clear stamp block, spritzing with water, then stamping on the background layer to create the soft, watery look! The greeting is from the Express Yourself Hostess set.

Well, that's all for today! I have to finish up by classes for tomorrow, so I need to get going!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Basics Balloons!

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hello there! Late posting today. I'm at Jessica's house getting ready to take Ava, Cohen, and Jaxon back to my house for the day. Jessica has photo sessions all day, so I am taking them to my house to play with Liam! (Liam is at my house with Logan, Ben, & PaPa right now)

Today's card is another from my SWOW class this Saturday. As you know, I LOVE punch art, so when I found this punch art balloon several places on the net, I just had to design a card using them!

I heat embossed the "Happy Birthday" from You're Amazing with white powder, then dry embossed the Bermuda Bay layer with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and the Big Shot.

The balloons were created with an Medium Oval punched piece of cardstock with one of the feet from the Owl Builder punch attached to the bottom! Pretty neat!

Island Indigo Baker's Twine was attached to the back of each balloon with a Glue Dot. After attaching the balloons to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals, I gathered the twine together and attached them to the card front with another dimensional. I then hid all the mess with a strip of Birthday Basics Designer Paper, which is where I found the color palette for this card!

Inside I stamped one of the phrases from the new Remembering Your Birthday, omitting the words I needed to with Stampin' Write Markers and positioning the {YOU!} where I wanted it with my Stamp-a-ma-jig.

I sponged each of the Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, and Soft Sky
balloons with the corresponding ink color, sponging more ink onto the
left side of each balloon to give it some depth, then used the new Chalk Marker from the Holiday Catalog on the right side to give the look of light and reflection!

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