Stampin’ Up! Best of Flowers #1!

Posted on March 28, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Today is an exciting day for me! I get to go shopping ALL DAY with ALL of my daughters and my oldest granddaughter! I can't wait!

In addition to shopping, my youngest daughter, Alisa, (who is expecting my 6th grandchild, a boy! in July) will be starting her baby registry! I love it!

Since I have a few minutes before we leave, thought I would show you another of the cards we will be making tomorrow and Saturday at my "Best Of" Class!

I received a card with this general layout from Kathy Alt at last Saturday's Stampin' Up! St. Louis Regional, so I changed out the colors and designer paper, changed the greeting, added a technique and a Rhinestone, to make it my own!

Using the Best of Flowers stamp set, of course, I inked the miniature "Upsy Daisies" (Did you know that the re-issued stamps from the past are minatures of the originals? They are, which makes them perfect as an addition to the originals!) first in Wisteria Wonder ink, and then sponged on some Rich Razzleberry before stamping all together on the Whisper White!

I did the same inking technique on the "Oh Hello" stamp from the Oh Hello Stamp set. What do you think? After using this technique on the Tea Shoppe card HERE, I am having fun coming up with new ink color combos. Some colors don't look well together, and some, such as Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant, really look almost the same when used together, so some experimentation is fun!

It probably doesn't look like it in this photo, but the chevron oval is actually stamped in Basic Gray!

Here's my Wisteria Wonder-inked stamp being sponged with Rich Razzleberry ink!

Same inking technique for the inside word from Amazing Family!

Here's a quick tutorial to make the Oval Punch Faux Bow:

Fold each punched oval gently and attach ends together with Glue Dots.

Attach both folded ovals
to DSP strip with Glue Dots.

To finish off center of bow, add a small strip of designer paper, a button, or a punched out shape with a Glue Dot.

That's all I have time for today! See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Swallowtails!

Posted on March 27, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! Hope you have a fun day planned today! I'm finishing up the projects today for my "Best of" Class this Friday and Saturday, so it will be a fun day for me as I love creating for my classes!

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you some more of the swaps I received and photgraphed at Saturday's Regional, this time all using the fabulous Swallowtail single stamp.

This first swap is a CASE of Mary Brown by Amy Cloncs:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Jeni Northcutt combined Melon Mambo with Soft Suede and the En Francais Background stamp:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Judy Meier used the "Thump & Huff" technique with Stampin' Write Markers to create this beauty!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

And lastly, this swap was not claimed as it had no name on the back. LOVE the colors!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

LOVED the colors even more when we found that this card matched Angela's shoes!!!!!!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

That's all for today! I have LOTS of stamping to do, which makes me VERY HAPPY! A Stampin' Up! box is arriving on my doorstep sometime today too, a fact which ALSO makes me VERY HAPPY!!!!!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Hey There Friend, Revisited!

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning to you! Just a quick post today! I have lots on my plate, including a Stamp Camp at the GrandOArt Studio in West Frankfort tonight!

We are making 5 projects for the $15 fee, so come out and have some inexpensive stamping therapy with us!

The March Paper Pumpkin Kit, which is also the first kit anyone will receive from now on as their first "Welcome Kit", contains the awesome stamp, "hey there friend"! I showed you a card I had CASED from Diana Gibbs a few days ago HERE, and loved this card so much I decided to switch out the focal image stamp and use it again tonight:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Do you likey? I DO! I thought the chair stamp from Cherish Friendship would work nicely in place of the antique tricycle, what do you think? And I love the splotchy-waterdrop-splash stamp, it looks great in Sahara Sand ink!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This time I also added the flower from Oh Hello to bring just a bit more color to the inside!

Well, that's all for today! Come back and see me again tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Bunnies Day!

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Did you have snow where you live yesterday! We did! Unbelievable for the last week of March! Not much accumulation, but it was slick enough during the afternoon that our evening church was cancelled!

Today I want to show you the bunny swaps I received and took pictures of at yesterday's Regional.

This first bunny is actually a whole card, created with the Heart Framelits and punches:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Every Regional has a card contest, and this one using the single stamp, Ears to You, was one of the winners!

A sweet little card using the Everybunny stamp set:

And last-but-not-least, this fun little chocolate holder using the Two Tags Die!

That's all for today! Most of my family involved with schools are on Spring Break this week, so some fun things are planned, if the weather cooperates!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Fancy Favor Bunny Box!

Posted on March 23, 2013 by Carol Payne

REEEEAAALLLYYYY quick post this morning! I'm off in a few minutes to the Stampin' Up! St Louis Regional with 7 of my downline, the "Yes Mam! Stampers"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before I head out I wanted to show you this Fancy Favor Bunny Box I created a couple of days ago:

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

Isn't "she" just adorable! LOVE that Vine Street Textured Impressions Folder! Wish it was still available, but that's how it goes, Sale-a-bration items are exclusive to the Sale-a-bration season, so unless they tell us ahead of time it will be in the next catalog (like they did with the Petite Curly Label Punch this year), you can't get it ever again!

That's it for today! I will see you again tomorrow, where I will have new swaps to share fresh from the Regional!

Until tomorrow, hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Love “Read My Lips”!

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Can I just say, while I am always a little sad when Sale-a-bration is over for the year, if SAB this year went on much longer I'd be worn down to a nub? Seems like everyone decided to cram their final SAB workshop into this week! (pay no attention to the whining, I'm actually having a blast!)

One of my workshop hostesses last night, Rhonda, is a Mary Kay Consultant, so I customized a Fancy Favor Box for her using the "read my lips" stamp from the February 25th Anniversary stamp set, Best of Love!

I quite delighted with it, so much so that I need to make another one for myself!

Supplies used: Pink Pirouette & Basic Black cardstock, Fancy Favor Box BigzXL Die with the Big Shot, Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder, Paper Daisies, Vintage Faceted Buttons, 1/8" Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Basic Black & Melon Mambo ink, Hearts A Flutter Framelits, Stamping Sponges, and Crystal Effects!

An aerial view:

Here's a close-up of the lips with Crystal Effects on them to make them raised and shiny:

That's all for now! I have 22 swap fronts waiting for me to finish them before I head to Nashville, IL tonight for my final SAB workshop, then tomorrow morning it's off to St. Louis Stampin' Up! Regional!

Until tomorrow (if I survive), have a Stampingrox! day!
