Stampin’ Up! Going Global for Mark!

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there!

Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for February. This month our theme is One for the Boys. We are sure that you will find some incredible inspiration from the projects that you are about to see!

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Carol Payne Stamps – or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

My husband's birthday is Friday, so I decided the hop theme was the perfect time to make his birthday card. I decided to use the Going Global set from the Occasions Catalog again, incorporating it with the Sunburst Thinlet Die and Gold Foil Sheets. (Don't worry, he NEVER looks at my blog, so I'm not spoiling his birthday surprise)

He does mean the world to me and he's been my best friend for over 40 years. We dated three years before we were married, so actually we've been best friends for over 41 years! Wow! That should make me feel old, but all it really does it make me feel happy and blessed!

I used all of the images in the Going Global set, except for the "world's best dad", and the only reason I didn't use it is because this isn't a Father's Day card! lol!

All of the supplies I used today are available to order in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss. Remember that currently you are at my blog – Carol Payne, so check the blog hop line up list below to see who is next in the list!

That's all for now. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! That Thing You Did for Bringing Birthdays Back!

Posted on February 22, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I intended to get my blog post up earlier today, but I made a big mistake. My laptop has been bugging me to update to Windows 10 "for free" for several months now, and I've avoided it as long as I could. Saturday night I decided to take the plunge and downloaded the update during the night, then while Troy was here yesterday afternoon I installed it in case there were problems. All seemed to go well, until this morning when I uploaded my first new pictures from my camera since the update. It was a nightmare. I use an older camera with a little SD card. Apparently it holds A LOT of pictures, because, even though I'm using the same laptop that has ALL of the previous pics from this card, the "updated" program recognized them ALL AS NEW PICTURES. ALL 7,800 of them! I know, I know, I should be deleting them off the SD card as I upload, but I'm just old school, or neurotic or something and feel the need to keep them on the camera card. All of my problem today would have been avoided if the upload program had a simple "select" "deselect" option, but if it has one I couldn't find it. After deselecting over 4,000 of them by clicking on each one, I guess the program got tired of putting up with me and started uploading the remaining 3,ooo. Then I couldn't find them for awhile, then I did, but had to create a folder to copy and past them to…….. and on, and on, and on. Technology. We have a love/hate relationship! lol!

So FINALLY, here's my card for today. I'm in a rush now because I still have prep for my team meeting tonight, so this will be quick!

I used a set I've had for awhile, That Thing You Did, pairing it with the Apple of My Eye set from the Occasions Catalog. I think the lemon slices look very 60's-ish, don't you?

I accented the shooting star with with a Gold Glimmer one punched with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack star:

The "happy birthday" is included in That Thing You Did. This is one of the five cards we will be making at my "Bringing Birthdays Back" Birthday Card Class on March 3rd and 4th! My email going out tomorrow will contain more info about this fun class!

Stampin’ Up! Wisteria Wonder Rose Wonder!

Posted on February 17, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another Rose Wonder Stained Glass card to share with you, this time using Perfect Plum and Wisteria Wonder:

The "happy birthday" is included in the Rose Wonder set. I cut the outline of the rose and the leaves from Basic Black, then cut out a whole rose of Wisteria Wonder and one of Perfect Plum. After smushing the cut-out rosees to the tacky side of a small piece of Press-n-Seal, I could choose which pieces I wanted to add inside the black rose outline. I did the same with the leaves using Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive.

Inside I punched three of the corners with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch and added the Perfect Plum rose outline to the lower right corner. The inside sentiment is also from Rose Wonder.

Stampin’ Up! Traveler for Cohen!

Posted on February 13, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a special card created for my grandson, Cohen's, 8th birthday! Cohen is Titanic crazy, so I used Traveler stamps and World Traveler folder to create his card:

I used the Center Step Card fold, stamping on the negative side of the World Traveler folder before embossing with the Big Shot.

I punched the Suite Sayings greeting with the Washi Label Punch, matting it with a couple more Washi Label Punches!

I rubbed the Smoky Slate Thick Baker's Twine on the Night of Navy inkpad to tie under and over the Silver Basic Metal Button.

The back side of the card I used a sentiment from All Boxed Up with the compass from Going Global.

This card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", so I made a custom envelope with the Envelope Punch Board and Typeset Designer Paper. This card took a just a little more postage to mail as non-machineable, 93 cents, but it's worth it to surprise Co!
