Stampin’ Up! What I Love for Sale-a-bration!

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a similar card to the one I posted HERE.

I remade it using the What I Love Sale-a-bration set.

Why did I remake it? This card is a December Online Class card. I waited until after the holidays to work on the class card packets. I have MISPLACED the 3 ROSE stamps to create the original card. I have all of the rest of the stamps in the Picture Perfect set – the hummingbird, the starfish, all the greetings. Instead of spending hours and hours hunting, I remade the card using the What I Love stamps. "hello my friend" is still the same, from the HELLO Sale-a-bration set. The missing stamps WILL turn up, they always do,even if it isn't until next year. lol!

I used the same Watermelon Wonder 1" Stitched Satin Ribbon with a Very Vintage Button and Basic Black Baker's Twine.

Inside I used the same phrases from Happy Happenings.

Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Birthday Occasions Catalog & Sale-a-bration Have Begun!

Posted on January 6, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Well, yesterday family took priority over stamping! Usually after Christmas or New Year's we start getting sick with sniffles or flu. Troy came down with flu on Sunday and Mark started a bad cold on Monday. Yesterday I needed to run several errands to deliver and acquire meds, food, and supplies for both. Consequently, blogging did not happen, the very first day of the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration!

Today I'm sharing a card we made at my Stampin' in the New Year class, created by Tamie Ackerso and finished on the inside by me. We used Birthday Blooms, Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper, and Blushing Bride 1/4" Cotton Ribbon:

The greeting is from Birthday Blooms, stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.

I inked the largest bloom with Blushing Bride ink first, then applied Mossy Meadow marker directly on top of the Blushing Bride ink on the leaves. I "huffed" the ink before stamping in case some of it had dried while adding the Mossy Meadow.

Here's the class handout for this card: Download Birthday Blooms

As I mentioned before, the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-a-bration brochure are now live, which means you can now order from them! yay!

I think you can tell from all the projects I've been posting that I'm in LOVE with all the fabulous products in this catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Love!

Posted on January 4, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! One of my goals this year is consistency, and second is to not let my stamping business run my life. I LOVE stamping, LOVE my stamping friends, and I LOVE blogging, but sometimes it displaces my family life. You know how it is when you are trying to "do it all". Whoever coined that phrase was either on something or just lying to themselves. NO ONE can "do it all". Believe me, I've tried. Something (or someone) has to suffer, and I've come to realize that life is too short to be stressed. So if, and inevitably when, I miss a day (or two or three) of blogging, rest assured I have not given up!

Today I have another card from my Stampin' in the New Year class. I took a monthly swap and converted it. I LOVED the outside and didn't change a thing! In the process of converting it to a card I've lost track of the creator. Either Lorraine Duran or Kathy Johnson used Bloomin' Love and Bloomin' Heart Thinlet Dies:

The Pink Pirouette background is subtly stamped with Versamark for a soft, elegant feel.

The creator added a lovely mix of flowers, pearls, banner, and a Linen Thread bow.

I turned this somewhat Valentine-y card into a friend birthday card by using a phrase from the new Suite Saying set in the Occasions catalog. I punched the corners with the returning Curvy Corner Trio Punch:

Today is the LAST DAY to order from the Holiday Catalog, Year-End Sale, and the current Weekly Deals! Go to my online store to order: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
