Stampin’ Up! Moon Lake!

Stampin’ Up! Moon Lake!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! This week has been my week to stamp! I ran some errands on Monday, but ever since I've stayed home and stamped, stamped, stamped! It seems like it's always either a feast or a famine!

My card for today is a CASE of a swap I received from my swap guru, Carol Nordquist. Carol is the lovely lady in Minnesota that I mail my 21 identical swaps to every month, then receive 20 different swaps back about a week later. As the swap guru, Carol gets to keep one of each as her "reward" for organizing the swap, sorting them into everyone's mailer, then taking them back to the P.O. Only occasionally does she swap too, but when she does it's always gorgeousl! Today's card is no exception:

Stampin_up_moonlake_1 - Copy

Carol used the Occasions Catalog set, Moon Lake. It's gorgeous detail and inspiring phrases make this set versatile as an all-occasion, and even a masculine set. One of the really fine features of this card is that it needed NOTHING more than stamps, ink, paper, adhesive, and three embossing folders! NO additional embellishments!

It's an easy card to make and an economical one to mail.

Stampin_up_moonlake_2 - Copy

The only sentiment added was the "to a great FRIEND" from the Sale-a-bration set, Simply Wonderful. I'm finding I'm using this set A LOT right now, but I need to because after March 31st it will be gone!

Stampin_up_moonlake_5 - CopyCarol's card was originally colored with Blendability alcohol markers, but because Stampin' Up! has had to suspend the sale all the Blendabilities due to quality issues, I switched to sponging and markers.

One touch I DID NOT change was Carol's use of the just  a itty bit of the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder on the water portion of the goose image. It really adds to the "ripple effect"!

That's all for now. Here's the supply list for this card, which we will be making at a couple of workshops this month. Use this shopping list to help you place your order in my online store: ww.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

Stampin’ Up! Banner Punch Sunflower!

Stampin’ Up! Banner Punch Sunflower!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Punch & Technique Class was yesterday! I will be posting the projects we made on the 15th for Stampers Dozen Blog Hop. Today I'm sharing the binder cover club members made to reference their class instructions:

Stampin_up_punch_binder_1 - Copy

We used the Banner, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle, and 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punches to create the sunflower.

Starting with a Baked Brown Sugar base, we layered 2 Lullaby Designer Series Paper designs. A Decorative Dots-embosed strip of Baked Brown Sugar covered the seam.

We matted the pre-printed title with Coastal Cabana.

Stampin_up_punch_binder_2 - Copy

We sponged Baked Brown Sugar on the embossed scallop circles and Hello Honey on the Hello Honey banners, adhering them to the circles with SNAIL. We anchored them with Stampin' Dimensionals. Stampin_up_punch_binder_3 - Copy
Starting with 8" of Burlap Ribbon, we separated the threads. We looped three together, tied a knot at the end, then adhered to the flower  back with Glue Dots. We added three groups of Mossy Meadow  "leaves" before adhering with all those lovely dimensionals!

Stampin_up_punch_binder_4 - Copy

Only club members made the binder. I AM still taking new club members, so if you would like to join, contact me for full details. You can join even if you live long distance. I will ship you the class packets, including the binder cover, which are free with the minimum $25 order each month.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, Valentines, One More Time!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, Valentines, One More Time!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Earlier this week I received my monthly packet of swaps. It took me about a day and a half to find the time to open it, but when I did I was not disappointed! Today I'm going to share the valentines that were in the packet. Next Sunday I will share some of the other fantastic swaps that were in there, but for today here goes:

Stampin_up_take_care_language_of_love

First, a really sweet and simple one from Barb Dykhouse. Barb tore a piece of paper, then laid it on the Whisper White layer and sponged ever-so-gently with Smoky Slate ink. She stamped the tree branch from Take Care next, then stamped and punched out the little hearts from the Language of Love set with the Small Heart punch. She then added the "heartstrings" with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. LOVE it!

Stampin_up_love_you_to_the_moon

This was another swap I received at Leadership by Michelle Suit. Michelle used the Love You to the Moon stamp set, pairing it with Fresh Prints Designer Paper and the On Film Framelits. The tiny hearts were punched with the Owl Builder Punch! Cute!

DSC_0289

Karen Kurz created this one with the Perfect Pennants stamp set, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, and Envelope Punch Board. She punched the seemingly dozens of hearts with the Small Heart punch from Silver Glimmer, Champagne Glimmer, and Red Glimmer Paper. The Soft Sky heart in the background was punched with the Full Heart Punch.

Stampin_up_petite_petals

I swapped with Linda Wright at Leadership for this one! Real Red cardstock, Fresh Prints DSP, Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, Petite Petals stamps and punch and Labels Collection Framelits combine to create a quick and perky valentine!

Stampin_up_flowerful_heart

Katy Simecka used the Flowerful Heart wood-only stamp (still available unti February 14th!) with Retro Fresh Designer Paper, Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim, and a banner from the Perfect Pennants set for her valentine offering.

Stampin_up_banner_blast

Tamie Ackerson used the free SAB set, Banner Blast with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder and a Delightful Dozen greeting. She added a Red Glimmer Small Heart for her finishing touch!

Stampin_up_best_of_love

Last but definitely not least, Ruth Bingle used Whisper White Cardstock Vellum over the "love" stamp from Best of Love (still available until March 31st) to give a frosted, elegant look! I also love the crisp textured look of the wavy Fresh Prints paper under the Whisper White Small Heart-punched layer. Ruth added a litle bit of Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon tied in a bow. Simply perfect!!!!!

That's all for now. It's not too late to order Valentine stamps! To shop and place your order (and choose a free Sale-a-bration item when your merchandise total reaches $50!) click HERE to go to my Online Store.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek See Ya Later!

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek See Ya Later!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I just got home really late from a fun shopping trip with Alisa and Oakley! This is the first time in a long time I actually had a chance to shop the January Clearance sales. Oh boy! Things were so cheap it seemed like they were practically paying ME to take their stuff home!

Seriously, I am stocked for future baby shower gifts for a long time, as well as picked up some adorable things for the grandboys as they grow! I got a really cute coat for me at Macy's, and then went a little crazy at JoAnn's with flannel! When I get my projects done I will be sure to show you all, I promise! I'm making the flannel a year-long project, in between stamping, of course!

Sale-a-bration will be here before we know it, just 12 more days to be exact! So since I spent my day shopping instead of stamping, I decided to dip into my stash of swaps to share a few with you that were created with the Sale-a-bration stamp set, See Ya Later:

Stampin_up_see_ya_later_3 Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, and Real Red makes a pleasing color combo, don't you think? Deco Label Framelits were used to cut out the layers and Real Red 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain is the perfect finishing touch! This card was created by Denise Sullivan.

Stampin_up_see_ya_later_1 Kathy Johnson paired the Cupcake Builder Punch with the See Ya Later birthday greeting. The additon of the Early Espresso gives a yummy look to this card!

Stampin_up_see_ya_later_5

Last but definitely not least, Carla Starry used the Sale-a-bration  See Ya Later, Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper, and the Decorative Dots folder, combining with Basic Black cardstock for some pop! The birthday phrase is cut out with one of the Apothecary Accent Dies.

Well, that's all for  now! You will soon be able to choose one of these Sale-a-braion products with your $50 order. If you need to place an order now, just go HERE.

My eyes are so heavy I'm about to nod off right here on the couch!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
