Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fiji Swaps!

Posted on May 26, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I'm staying home from church this morning because although I now have the proper meds, at times I'm still coughing my head off, and I don't want annoy everyone around me and disturb the service. I'm hoping after a second day of antibiotics my system will start to turn this around. I am, however, VERY thankful to not have that crazy fever anymore!

Today's samples are more of the swaps pics from Fiji, this time a collection of them using the Secret Garden stamps and framelits. These pics are from the swap boards so I'm not entirely sure how they were all made as I didn't get a chance to "reverse engineer" them (this was a term my son used when my friend Meg & I were discussing how some of the swaps we received were made as we sat by the pool one day. He said "reverse engineering" was bad in his world of Information Technology. We told him it's perfectly acceptable in the stamping world!)

This first swap has Epic Day designer paper for the background, then white embossed flowers that have been painted with inkpads and an Aquapainter. (I think!) There's also a Paper-Pierced Garden Green Window Framelit-cut layer peeking out from behind the flowers and leaves!

This one is a real beauty, but trying to reverse-engineer this one from a picture is a toughie! I'm pretty sure Pool Party or Tempting Turquoise and am almost positive Melon Mambo embossing powder was used, but I only "think" there was some bleach-stamping going on here as well!

What do you think?

This last sample uses the "reinker spread" technique to get the flowing colors on these white-embossed blossoms. The greeting is from a catalog favorite of mine, Trust God, and the punch-out circle is framed by a Sahara Sand layer cut with the Delicate Doilies Sizzlet!

That's all for today! Tomorrow is "Countdown Week to the New Catalog", and I will be sharing swaps made with new catalog products all week! I can't wait to show you some of the cool stuff we are getting!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Carryover List!

Posted on May 25, 2013 by Carol Payne

Every year when I first get my hands on the new catalog, the section I turn to first is the Holiday Stamps. However, when you get your new catalog this year, you will notice that the Holiday section is missing. In keeping with their commitment to having the Annual Catalog contain core products which can be used year-round, this year Stampin' Up! has NO HOLIDAY STAMPS in the new Annual Catalog! Moving forward, holiday stamps and accessories will be found in the Holiday and Occasions seasonal catalogs exclusively.

That said, this year Stampin' Up! has released a Carryover List of stamps from the retiring catalog that you will be able to order but will not be shown in the catalog.

Here is this list for you to download and print:

Download Christmas Carryover Stamp Sets 2013

But one stamp set I want to bring to your attention today is the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set:

Why should we care about a Christmas stamp set in May? Because although you will be able to order this set through the coming holiday season, the MATCHING HOLIDAY ORNAMENT FRAMELIT DIES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE!!!!!

Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies	#127816
Price: $24.95

Just thought you ought to know this, in case you were thinking you could wait to order these at my Christmas in July event or later this year. If you want them, you NEED to order them NOW!!!!!!

Well, I'm still coughing my head off today, so I'm going to take myself to a walk-in clinic and see if they agree with my self-diagnosis of a sinus infection. I have too much to do this next week: two workshops, a
"Summber Bash" to prep my house and yard for my kids to host, and my New Catalog BOGO Open House, to mess around with this any longer. Wish me luck!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Elegant Butterfly Bikini!

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning. I'm sick today. Have been since Tuesday night. I've had a fever as high as 103 with body aches and and a headache. Currently it is 99.9, so I'm getting better, but I'm not there yet. Since I've been a lump on the couch I've been blog surfing alot, which does make me a bit frustrated because I can't stamp!

I have been also going through my Fiji pictures, and I picked a few to share with you today:

This swap uses the Epic Day Designer Paper from the new catalog starting May 31st!

This one used both the Elegant Butterfly Punch and the Bitty Butterfly Punch. The greeting is from the NEW catalog set, Really Good Greetings.

This swap cleverly uses the Elegant Butterfly Punch to create the "Itsy Bitsy Teeney Weeny Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini!

That's all for today. Blogging has worn me out!

Until tomorrow (and I hope I feel ALOT better by then!) have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Label Love & Soho Subway for Maddie Kate!

Posted on May 22, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Just wanted to show you quickly a few pics from Maddie Kate's birthday party last night and the card I made for her!

First, the birthday girl!

And of course she had to blow out the candles! Her mom made the cake, which she always does for birthdays. This year instead of "happy birthday" like usual, she wrote "She has the sophistication of a woman of TWELVE", a favorite quote from the movie "Little Rascals"!

And here's the card I made for her! I didn't want to post this until after she received it. Who wants a card everyone has seen before you do?

Very Vanilla, Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar, and Island Indigo coordinate perfectly as the listed colors in the new Soho Subway designer paper coming in the NEW Catalog in just a little over a week!

The Label Love birthday greeting was punched with the Artisan Label punch, then layered on two more punched labels for the mat. They are attached to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I used an Window Sheet technique I learned in Fiji to attach the Big Shot Typeset Alphabet letters for her name on the inside when she opened the card!

For the third dimension of this card I stamped the cake from Make a Wish (in the Occasions catalog now but IS carrying over into the new catalog!) once in Baked Brown Sugar, once in Island Indigo, once in Crisp Cantaloupe on Very Vanilla scraps, then once in Crisp Cantaloupe on the Very Vanilla card layer. I fussy-cut out the individual cake layers with my Paper Snips, then attached them with a Stampin' Dimensional under each layer.

My final touch is just a teeny-tiny bit of Clear Dazzling Details on the candle flames! LOVE it!

Oh, and the "CELEBRATE" is from Seasonal Sayings, and the "you mean SO much to SO many people" is from One in a Million!

That's all for now! Maddie Kate's little sister, Ava Claire, spent the night with me while Maddie had 5 of her girlfriends spend the night, and today we are going to have mani's and pedi's, and who knows what else we will do? We watched a couple of stamping videos before Ava went to sleep (Ava is a girl after her Grammie's own heart, she LOVES to stamp too!), so we may do a little stamping too!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
