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!

All products are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

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!

Stampin’ Up! Butterflies Again!

Posted on May 18, 2013 by Carol Payne

Butterflies???? Again???? Are you tired of them yet? Me either!

These are a couple of the cards from my Best of Butterflies Class in April.

*Print Poetry Designer Paper Stack

*Friendly Phrases (retiring June 3rd)

*Best of Butterflies

*Flowering Flourishes

*Crumb Cake, Midnight Muse, Very Vanilla cardstock

*Sahara Sand Classic ink, Midnight Muse & Wild Wasabi Stampin' Write

Markers.

*Dazzling Diamonds Glitter & Two-way Glue Pen

*Midnight Muse 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon

*Friendly Phrases (retiring June 3rd, so if you like this set you need to order it NOW!)

*Best of Butterflies

*Best of Flowers

*Baja Breeze, Whisper White cardstock

*Lucky Limeade, Baja Breeze Classic inks, Jet Black StazOn

*Beautiful Wings Bigz Die & Big Shot

*Two-way Glue Pen

*Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon

*In-Color Printed Brads

The secret to the perfect Negative Masking on this card?

The Two-way Glue Pen!

Cut out the butterfly image from the Beautiful Wings Die with copy paper to create the butterfly-shaped mask. Swipe the Two-way glue pen around the outside edges of the butterfly. Allow the glue to air-dry for a few minutes. When air-dried, Two-way glue becomes tacky like a Post-It Note. Lay the mask tacky-side down on your card front. Sponge & stamp inside the mask as desired. For this card I sponged Lucky Limeade and then Baja Breeze. I sponged with a soft, swirling motion to get a smooth, even look.

Before removing the mask, I stamped the "upsy-daisy" image from Best of Flowers with Jet Black StazOn.

The Two-way Glue tackiness should not damage your stamped image and should be easy to remove.

There you are! What do you think? Likey? I definitely likey!

I have two more cards from this class I will share with you tomorrow, but for now I must finish my prep for my "Yes, Mam! Stampers" Downline meeting tonight!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Dolled Up Birthday Kit and Mother’s Day Family Time!

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I had a FABULOUS day yesterday! My day started with church, which is not unusual for me on Sunday at all, but what made it even more special is my daughter, Kimberly, was asked to speak during the service. She spoke about God's timing being so much better than our timing. I was very blessed by her comments. Then after church we all went to Cracker Barrel for lunch, which of course was a madhouse, but the food was good, as usual, and I love it when we all go together "en masse"!There were 15 of us today. We were minus Logan because he is still in Rolla for his finals week coming up, then he will be home for two weeks before the summer semester. If all goes as planned he will be graduating NEXT May!

Here's a few pics from the day:

Johnny showing Cohen the fine points of the game!

Alisa & her Daddy sharing a joke! (she's due in less than 10 weeks!)

Liam all perky at the other end of the table!

I received some fun gifts from my kids, including a canvas of my 6 kids which matches my Facebook personal page header! I love looking at that picture, and now I will have one hanging in my home! Yay! (I have to admit, it sure is a nice perk to being the photographer's mom!)

Before I start my day today, I wanted to show you one of the cards we made at Krystal's party on Saturday using the Dolled Up Birthday Kit #133913 $15.95 :

Everything used on this card front is included in the kit, including the kit-exclusive photopolymer Happy Birthday! For the inside I sponged laid the Tea Lace Doily from the front on the cardstock, then sponged through the design and around the outside edges with the Sponge Dauber and the Soft Suede ink included in the kit. The only addition to the card NOT included in the kit is the inside verse from One In a Million.

Stampin’ Up! Whitewash Coloring Secret Garden Tutorial!

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Hope you do some fun stamping today! I am going to be stamping with Krystal and her friends today! yay!

Just want to share this fun project from my final Punch/Technique Class for this Stampin' Up! Catalog year using the Whitewash Coloring Technique with the Secret Garden stamp set & framelits and the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder (which will soon be retiring).

Note: all products are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless otherwise noted

We embossed the Basic Black cardstock with the Elegant Bouquet folder and the Big Shot, then sponged the raised areas with Whisper White Craft ink to make them pop! The Happiest Birthday greeting is from the Apothecary Art stamp set, and the cut-out flower images are from Secret Garden!

The inside is simply white heat embossed with the verse from the soon-to-be-retired set, You Are Loved, as well as the same flower images as the front!

Here's a mini-tutorial of how to do the "whitewashing" technique!

Whitewash Coloring

1. Stamp
image with Versamark ink on solid-color cardstock (Crumb Cake for this project). Heat Emboss with White Embossing
Powder and Heat Tool.

2.Squeeze closed Whisper White Craft Pad to deposit ink in lid. Open pad. Pick
up ink from lid with a wet AquaPainter.
“Wash” color over embossed image. Allow to air-dry or dry with Heat Tool.

3.Squeeze
lid of a Classic inkpad color of choice (Midnight Muse and Primrose Petals for this project). Open
pad. Pick up ink from lid with Blender Pen. Apply ink to “white-washed” areas
as desired. Add more intense ink color with matching Stampin’ Write Marker.

These images were cut out with the Secret Garden Framelit Dies and the Big Shot.

There you have it! Give Whitewash Coloring a try and let me know what you think!

Gotta go! Krystal's workshop awaits!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Framed Art is HOT right now!

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

While in Fiji Stampin' Up! sponsored a Swap & Share Time. Ten demonstrators had been chosen to share a cool technique or project. One of the demonstrators, Penny Thomas, showed her framed art projects that have been a real hit with her customers this past year.

First off, a cute St Patricks day sample:

Then a Clean-and-Simple Christmas Star creation:

And her masterpiece, a Frosty Snowflake work-of-art:

You will have the opportunity to make a "Sunshine & Sprinkles" framed art creation of your own at my "Inch by Inch" class later this month, or you can choose to make cards or a two-page scrapbook spread with the cute little squares!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

As always, you can go HERE to order Stampin'Up! products any time!
