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

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

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!

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!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Flowers #1!

Good Morning! Today is my second "Liam Day" for the week, and I have a workshop for dual hostesses Rachel and Rhonda tonight, so I just need to quickly show you this card, which will be part of my "Best of Flowers" Stamp Camp on March 30th!

I used the same layout as the Baby Crumb Bunny card I featured HERE at the beginning of the month. I loved this layout and the Tea for Two Designer Paper, but wanted to use this gorgeous quilt-looking side with the Island Indigo flowers, so I paired it with the rose stamp from the March "Best of" set, Best of Flowers!

This is also one of my swaps for the Stampin' Up! St. Louis Regional this Saturday, so I have to get crackin'! I'm actually going to get Liam and bring him back to my house today so I can work on these while he plays and naps!

Just today and tomorrow left to place orders to choose your Sale-a-bration gifts!

1-1/4" Scallop Circle punch.

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Pop-up Gift Card Holder Take 2!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Pop-up Gift Card Holder Take 2!

I must add a few details to my handout for the Secret Garden Pop-up Gift Card Holder from earlier today!

Here's how to punch and make the pop-up section. Open up the top flap, the 2 1/2" wide one. Insert the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch over the fold line, pushing the paper in to the bottom of the punch and lining up the scallops evenly on each side of the fold as shown below:


Pop up punch 1

When you fold the card on the fold lines, the 2 1/2" flap folds down and looks like this:

Pop up punch 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Attach the embossed Secret Garden flower/1 3/4" circle/2 3/8" Scallop Circle layer to the part of the bottom flap of the card that shows through the punched opening. Use a generous amount of SNAIL adhesive or Sticky Strip on just the bottom third of the Scallop layer so opening and closing of the card will not detach the scallop.

There you have it! My ommission has been bothering me all day, and I have just now had time to get on here and correct it, so now I am relieved to be able to give you all the information you need to make this card with ease!

Now I am really having a Stampingrox! day!

Just a two days and a few hours left until Sale-a-bration is over! To place your order and choose your free items you can go shop my Online Store:

Stampin’ Up! Torn Masking and French Foliage!

Stampin’ Up! Torn Masking and French Foliage!

Today's sample is from my February swap stash. This card was made by Sherri Beyrer and reminds me of the card I showed you back in October 2012 here.

Beautiful card, isn't it? And even though I usually think of French Foliage as a fall stamp set, it works perfectly for the "masculine" theme of last month's swap! I especially love the additional leaf she cut out and attached (it's covered in Crystal Effects although you can't tell from this photo) and how she embossed the whole top  layer with the Woodgrain Folder after she was finished with the torn masking and stamping.

That's all for today! I'm swamped this week with end-of-Sale-a-bration parties 4 out of the 5 weekdays this week, then I'm off with my downline to the Stampin' Up! St. Louis Regional this Saturday! I need to get some swaps made, so hopefully I will have some new creations to share with you soon! And after Saturday I will have some swap board samples AND fresh swaps to share!

Don't forget! You can go to my website any time, night or day, to order Stampin' Up! products:

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

If you order before Friday at midnight you will receive the three tutorials to create fun 3-D items using the Simply Sent Happy Hello Kit FREE from me! This freebie is for everyone who orders from me Online, no matter the size of the order! (but remember, for every $50 you order through Friday you can also choose a free Sale-a-bration item too!)

So until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Feeling Sentimental One More Time!

Stampin’ Up! Feeling Sentimental One More Time!

Good Morning! Wow, what a LOT of rain we've had these past couple of days! Yesterday morning started with a light dusting of snow on top of rain puddles, followed by more rain throughout the day! We are practically SWIMMING here!

My SIL and family returned home safely in the afternoon, and Logan returned to Rolla safely as well, so all is right in my world!

Here's one final card using Feeling Sentimental, one of the Sale-a-bration sets about to be retired this coming Friday night!
