Stampin’ Up! Gifts of Kindness!

Stampin’ Up! Gifts of Kindness!

Good morning! How are you doing today? I'm doing pretty good, I'm on the homestretch in the workshops this week. I actually have enjoyed the routine: get up in the morning, reorganize my workshop supplies, make sure I have enough M&T packets, then do whatever else I can fit in the day before it's time to get dressed to go. Drive to the workshop, stamp, laugh, and share with wonderful women friends, then home to submit the workshop. I could actually do with a couple of weeks like this EVERY month!

Today during the "whatever else I can fit in the day" time frame, I was able to sit down for about 30 minutes and create this using my new Gifts of Kindness stamp set!


Gifts of kindness 1
The card base is Beautifully Baroque-embossed Sahara Sand, layered with a strip of Afternoon Picnic Designer Paper. I inked the main floral image from Gifts of Kindness with Pear Pizzazz and Coastal Cabana Stampin' Write Markers, stamped on Very Vanilla, then cut out with one of the new Deco Labels Collection Framelits. The Modern Label-punched "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" is also from Gifts of Kindness. I love the font used for all the words and phrases in this set!

Here's the fun part of this card – it's a diorama card!

Gifts of kindness 2

Pretty neat, yes?

The inside window of the diorama is cut also cut with one of the Deco Labels Collection Framelits!

I have some ideas about this card, but you are going to have to wait to find out what they are! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long!

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

Stampin’Up! Mosaic Madness and Kind & Cozy!

Stampin’Up! Mosaic Madness and Kind & Cozy!

Gooooood Morning! It's going to be REAAAALLLLY hot here today, so I am trying to get my post done for you before I go out for my walk! I need to get done before it gets hotter outside!

I have a couple more swaps for you this morning. As you probably know, this is my "marathon workshop" week-I had two workshops on Monday, one on Tuesday, will have one on Thursday, and one scheduled for Friday. Today is the only weekday this week without a workshop, so I hope to get a chance to do some creating and stamping today!

Since I have had zero time to stamp new-ness, I'm opening my swap vault to share these two little gems with you! Sadly, I'm not sure of the creators, as the longer swaps hang out at my house the less likely they are to retain their creator's info!

This first swap uses new Pistachio Pudding cardstock, Mosaic Madness stamp set, Mosaic punch, and Really Good Greetings stamp set!

Mosaic madness

This swap uses a set I've not had much time to use yet, but am determined to use SOON, Kind & Cozy!

Kind & cozy tamie ackerson

LOVE the new Gingham Garden Washi Tape on this one! It's so stinkin' CUTE!!!!!

Well, I'm going to run out of here RIGHT NOW and get my walk done so I can come back in and STAMP!!!! yay!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Open Sea for Father’s Day!

Stampin’ Up! Open Sea for Father’s Day!

Good morning! Today I want to show you the third card we made at SWOW Class this month, a masculine card using the Open Sea stamp set, inspired by Tami White!

Open Sea 1

LOTS of Direct-to-Paper stamping! And can you see the Epic Day This and That Washi Tape?

Open Sea 2

Inside my stampers had the option to add the "DAD" letters or leave blank for a personal message. I LOVE the old ledger-style designs in the Epic Day This and That Designer Paper!

Open Sea 5

We did some gradient-color stamping with a stamp from Clockworks that has hidden "seagull" images! We started with Soft Sky ink, then stamped with Pool Party, then finished with Island Indigo! After stamping the ship image with Jet Black StazOn, we re-whitened the ships' sails with a White Gel Pen.

Open Sea  3
 The background layer of Epic Day This and That Designer Paper was embossed with the Chevron folder, then sponged with Pool Party to make the design pop!

That's all for today! I have another workshop to get ready for this evening, so I will be busy! Hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Clockworks for the Guys!

Stampin’ Up! Clockworks for the Guys!

Good morning! It's raining here this morning, which does NOT make my farmer hubbby happy. They still have some planting to do that has been rain-delayed for quite some time, and this mornings'  moisture is extending the delay more. But they will find something productive to do, so the day will not be wasted, just frustrating!

Today begins my four-workshops-in-five-days week! Eeeek! I've designed a couple of cards that I think will work for just about all of them all week. You saw the first one yesterday, the Happy Day "smile" card. Today's card is a masculine birthday/father's day one using Clockworks. I've designed and prepped the packets for this card so the stamper can choose to either create a birthday  or a Father's Day card:

Clockworks simple birthday 1

Since the Clockworks set lends itself so easily to a "collage stamping" look, I kept the layers to a minimum. The card base is the yummy new Baked Brown Sugar, stamped with Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar, and Early Espresso. The Early Espresso banner is embossed with the Argyle Textured Impressions Folder, and the sentiment is from Best of Birthdays. We are adding a Naturals Designer Button with a little bit of Early Espresso Baker's Twine for the finishing touch!

Clockworks simple birthday 2

Inside we are stamping a phrase from the fun new Hostess Set, Express Yourself. This is the phrase I have chosen to go with this birthday card, but there are several other phrases (love you, celebrate, amazing you, best wishes) that would work just as well!

Clockworks simple dad 1

The Father's Day card is similar in design, we will just use the "hey there, friend" stamp from the My Paper Pumpkin Try It kit. We will omit the "friend" word by inking up with an Early Expresso Stampin' Write Marker, then we will add in the "DAD" with a stamp created with the photopolymer set, Designer Type! The splatter stamp is also from the MPP Try It kit. While the monthly kits are only available when you subscribe by the 10th of each month, the Try It kit is available for purchase at any time, so you CAN still get these two cute and versatile stamps! Go to My Paper Pumpkin to order your kit today!

Clockworks simple dad 2
Inside another Hostess Set, Banner Greetings!

I also have a stepped-up version of these cards with more layers and lots of sponging:

Clockworks birthday 1

Clockworks dad 1

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

Stampin’ Up! Happy Day for Sunday!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Day for Sunday!

Good Morning! Today is a really amazing day for our church! The Carpenter's for Christ have been at Ina Free Will Baptist Church this past week everyday, 117 men from all professions and several different states, to raise the rafters and build the shell for our new sanctuary. They do the work for FREE, so they are saving our congregation thousands and thousands of dollars! They will be here for TWO whole weeks and since today is the weekend that connects those two weeks, we are having our church service with these men down at our local grade school so we have room for everyone, then after church we are all having a dinner together too! It's going to be a great day!

Yesterday I worked on my projects for my four workshops next week, and here is a really cute, happy one, inspired by Debbie Crawley, using the new catalog set, Happy Day!


Happy day 1

Strawberry Slush, Gumball Green, and Whisper White pair to make a cheerful statement to "Smile"! The flower is Strawberry Slush 2013-2015 In Color Designer Paper cut with a Floral Frames Framelit, and the flower stem is Gumball Green cardstock cut with the leaf from the Secret Garden framelits. The center of the flower is punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch. Overall, a pretty Clean-and-Simple card!


Happy day 2
I just love this phrase from another new set, Really Good Greetings. I can tell I'm going to be using this set a lot this year!

Well, I've got to get finish getting ready for today! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
