Stampin’ Up! Botanical Blooms and an Oops!

Posted on January 9, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We received a package right before Christmas from one of our farming landlords, an assortment of Omaha Steaks! My husband asked me to make a Thank-you for them, and I finally got a chance to make one this week. I used a card by Lisa Curcio as my inspiration to create this with the Botanical Blooms Bundle:

I cut the edge with a Botanical Builder Framelit and embossed with the Modern Mosaic folder.

I used Pool Party 3/8" Glitter Ribbon. It's so soft and sparkly!

I added Pool Party/Island Indigo blooms with Iced Rhinestone and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I stamped "thank you" with the Tin of Cards set.

Botanical Blooms photopolymer contains 17 stamps!

I lined the envelope with a Bohemian Designer Series Paper design.

Now the oops. I made two of this card, one to mail and one for display. I wrote a note inside one, then popped in the mail. This morning while I was photographing this card I realized I mailed the BLANK card to our landlords! Guess I will be mailing this one to them too!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Posted on May 4, 2015 by Carol Payne

Good morning Monday! It's a lovely day today, just perfect for sharing some swaps!

These cards were the Make & Takes at the Spring Into Stamping Event I attended on Saturday. All were created with the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and the 2014/2016 In Colors of card stock and inks:

This card opens to reveal of "pop-up" Butterfly!

Next, we used the Kinda Eclectic set to embellish a small Kraft Journal (retiring)

This collection of projects shows just how easy it is to make a lot of different looks with one set of stamps and inks!

Adding in a package of gold buttons and some white Baker's Twine:

Bitty Butterfly, Elegant Butterfly, and a few other punches add just enough depth:

Everything to make these projects is available to order in my online store:

Hey there! I just got home from the Spring Into Stamping event in Champaign, IL a few hours ago. After I arrived home I headed back to Mt Vernon to grab the groceries we need for Sunday dinner tomorrow. Now I am home,the groceries are put away and I'm about ready to put myself away for the night too!

My presentation went really well and I received a lot of positive feedback.I feel like it was a day well spent!

This card uses the same Fabulous Four set and Sweet Dreams Designer Series Paper, and a length of Gold Metallic Baker's Twine.

I continued the diagonal strips of designer paper on the inside, then added a sentiment from A Dozen Thoughts and accent images from Little Sunshine.

Stampin’ Up! So Kind Big on You!

Posted on April 30, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Have you ever did something for one reason and then discovered later that what you did was actually for a completely different reason? I’ve been so preoccupied with prepping for my presentation on Saturday that I forgot to mention I earned the Stampin’ Up! Getaway Trip to Newport Beach, CA last week! I need to give all of you a big THANK YOU because YOU have helped me earn it!

The Stampin’ Up! year isn’t over until June 30, and there’s still an even BIGGER trip to earn – the Grand Vacation to the Mediterranean!

France, Spain, and Italy have always been on my bucket list. Earning this trip would truly be a dream come true!

I usually have the Grand Vacation earned by now. I knew when I took almost two months off to help take care of my daughters and new grand babies that earning even the Getaway might not be possible. I don’t regret for one minute making my family a priority, but I’m not ashamed to ask for your help now to help me achieve this life-long dream. How can you help? Place an order in my online store and let me send you a Thank-You Project Packet. I only need a little over 9,000 points to be Mediterranean bound!

Here’s where my earlier question comes into play. I didn’t realize when I created today’s card for my Big on You series that it really was for all of you!

I love these BIG images!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals Ornamental Tag on a Card!

Posted on March 9, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Monday, which means a whole new week stretching before us to stamp! I have a couple of stamping parties scheduled this week, and a downline meeting on Friday night. Wednesday afternoon I'm going to go with Kimberly and Alisa to Jessica's studio for Lando & Darcy's photo sessions. It should be a fun week!

Today's card is a modified CASE of a swap by Tamie Ackerson:

I used Rose Red for the main color, used the Ornate Tag Topper Punch, added two extra rows of baby tulips along the bottom of the tag, and tied a strip cut from the Whisper White Jute Ribbon on the top of the tag!

After I tied the ribbon strip twice, I fanned out the fibers to make a unique bow. This ribbon is a very open-weave, so it was easy to cut a 4-thread-wide strip with my craft scissors. This ribbon might seem a bit pricey at $8.95 for only 5 yards, but when you cut it into strips you can get a lot more out of it!

Inside I used a sentiment from my fav SAB set, Simply Wonderful, then stamped a couple more of the roses in the bottom corner. I lined the envelope with a bit of Painted Blooms Designer Paper.

Here's the supply list for this card. You can purchase everything you need to make this card from my online store: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

Any order of any amount will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail from me!

An order of $50 (before tax & shipping) will allow you to choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure or flyer. Click on the images below to download and view the free product choices:

138822 $24.95	138819 $32.95	139128 $0.00	139125 $0.00	100730 $8.50
102544 $6.95	126954 $5.95	131180 $5.95	126957 $5.95	137416 $22.95
117335 $7.95	130139 $21.95	134549 $6.95	137904 $8.95	107301 $6.50
137784 $10.95	132172 $26.95	104332 $6.95	104430 $3.95

Oh, I wanted to share this with you too. Lando and Darcy came to visit yesterday afternoon (with their mommies and families too!) It was the first time Lando and Darcy were together ever, so the girls had to take a pic of them snuggled together in the Boppy pillow:

Lando will be 2 months tomorrow and Darcy is exactly 1 month today. Wow! Lando weighed almost a pound more than Darcy when he was born, but still, what a difference a month makes! They are both still little pee-wees, though!

Just had to share a little Grammie pride! Thanks for putting up with me!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
