Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Posted on 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:

Stampin_up_kinda_eclectic_1

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

Stampin_up_kinda_eclectic_2

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

Stampin_up_kinda_eclectic_3

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

Stampin_up_kinda_eclectic_4

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

Stampin_up_kinda_eclectic_5

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:

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day I’m Back In the USA!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day I’m Back In the USA!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! So good to be back on native soil! Troy and I had a blast on our trip, and we are actually still in the Ft Lauderdale airport waiting for the first leg of our flight (we change planes in Atlanta before flying home to St Louis). When I discovered we had internet access I realized I had time to do a quick post for you!

Today's swaps I just received from the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop group I'm a part of. Be sure to check back here on the 15th for our next hop, which is themed "I Do!" You will be able to "hop" through 12 blogs, all showing you new papercrafting ideas just in time for the wedding season!

First, France Martin created this fun-fold card using the Off the Grid stamp set (retired and sold out!), Bitty Butterfly and Elegant Butterfly punches, and a greeting from the Lots of Thanks stamp set:

Stampin_up_lots_of_thanks_france_martin

I don't recall at the moment what this fun-fold is called, but I'm going to find out and do a video for you soon to show you how to do it.

Next, Judy Garza used the Swallowtail single stamp to create this black-and-white beauty!

Stampin_up_swallowtail_judy_garza

The greeting is from Loving Thoughts, another retiring set that is currently only still available in wood-mount.

Finally, Laura Milligan covered a notepad with new Moonlight Designer Paper and stamped a message with the new stamp set we received at the 2014 New Catalog Premiere, Work of Art:

Stampin_up_work_of_art_laura_milliagan

Love it!

Hope you are having a good Mother's Day. Whether you are a mother or not, we all have (or have had) a Mom, so there is much to be thankful for.

That's all for now. I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Here's short supply lists for the swaps that the products are currently available for. (Work of Art and Moonlight Designer Paper for Laura's project will not be available until the new catalog starts on June 2nd)

Stampin’ Up! Grunge Butterflies!

Stampin’ Up! Grunge Butterflies!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Rain, rain, rain! All it has done at my house today is rain! It has alternately thundered and rained, lightened up, then thundered and rained again ALL DAY, and it is raining now as I write this! At least it's not snow!

While it's been raining, I've been stamping! Bet you could have guessed that anyway, huh? Today I have a fun little butterfly card made with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and both the Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches:

Stampin_up_gorgeous_grunge_butterflies_1 - Copy

I CASED this card from Michelle Last of the U.K., and you can view her card HERE. Michelle is a very talented stamper, but even she CASES cards now and then! Michelle CASED her card from one her downline, Tracey May! You can view Tracey's card HERE.

As you can see, even a CASED card morphs into something a little bit different every time as the CASE-er changes the card just a little bit to suit their fancy!

In case you are wondering what CASE means, it stands for Copy And Share Everything, which is a friendly standard Stampin' Up! Demonstrators live by world-wide!

Stampin_up_gorgeous_grunge_butterflies_1 - Copy (2)

I punched the butterflies with both the Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches from Soft Sky cadstock, Fresh Prints Designer Paper, and Vellum cardstock. They are layered on each other with Glue Dots, as well as adhered over the Pool Party-stamped Gorgeous Grunge splatters with the same.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Happy Watercolor. I really liked adding the "scratch" stamp to the sides of the layers. It gives a nice contrast of images with the splatters.

 

 

Stampin_up_gorgeous_grunge_butterflies_2 - Copy

That's all for now. I'm going to head to bed and hope the rain stops before morning, athough it IS soothing to sleep with a gentle rain falling!

Here's the supply list for everthing you need to CASE your own version of this card. You can purchase your supplies from my online store HERE.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #1!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #1!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Happy Sunday morning to you! I've decided to make Sundays be "Swap Day"; the day I showcase swaps I have received during the previous month. Some will have the creators name but some will not due to either the creator not adding their info to the back of their swap or the info fell out of the inside during transit, but
All products are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

First up, a cute little fun-fold-y card from Ann Betty using the Secret Garden stamps & framelits and Baked Brown Sugar Designer Paper:

Ann betty 2

Inside is stamped with one of the two stamps from the Million & One stamp set:

Ann betty 1

Next a bright & cheery card showcasing the 2013-2015 In Colors with the Flower Shop Bundle & Really Good Greetings stamp sets. The 3/8" Ruffled Stretch Ribbon adds an additional special touch!

Flower shop

Finally, a Very Vanilla/Basic Black elegant card using the Modern Medley Designer Paper, a Tea Lace Doily, Elegant Butterfly Punch, Very Vintage Designer Button, Victoria Crochet Trim, 1 1/4" Scallop Circle Punch, Basic Jewel Pearls, and "hello" from the Happy Day stamp set!
Hello 1
The fun surprise with this card is the bottom-opening flap that tucks up under the top closure!

Hello 2

That's all for today. Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a restful Sunday and that your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’Up! More Butterflies!

Stampin’Up! More Butterflies!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Butterflies are really HOT right now, with the Best of Butterflies stamp set and the Swallowtail single stamp, there are just endless possibilities! Add in the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly Punches and then the Big Shot Butterlfly Bigz Die and Embosslit, and it just keeps getting better!

This first card features the Swallowtail single stamp in Midnight Muse, with First Edition Specialty Paper (retired), Crumb Cake 1/2" Seam Binding, and Vanilla Flower Trim. It's so beautiful it doesn't even need to "speak", which is my word for stamping a greeting on the front of a card!

Note: all supplies used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless stated otherwise

Swallowtail 1

For this card the Distressed Dots Background was stamped on the Early Espresso layer first, then the Swallowtail was embossed with Black Embossing Powder. Bleach was applied to the image with an Aquapainter. After the bleach had dried and "bleached" the cardstock within the embossed lines, color was applied using Stampin' Write Markers. Gorgeous!

Colored bleach

Our final Swallowtail card is CAS (clean and simple), stamped with Jet Black StazOn. A little bit of not-so-simple was added with the Delicate Design Embossing Folder. This card "speaks" with a "you make me smile" from the new catalog stamp set, A Round Array, punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch!

Basic black

Stay with me now, there's two more cards to share!

This beauty is uses the Elegant Butterfly AND the Bitty Butterfly punches in Not Quite Navy and Silver Glimmer Paper, respectively. "Wonderful You" is from Loving Thoughts, and the ribbon-like layer has been cut with the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Shot Die from Basic Black, Not Quite Navy, and Silver Glimmer!

Tasteful trim

Our final sample today is an eclectic mix of the Best of Butterfly, French Foliage (retiring), Secret Garden & World Treasures stamp sets, with a generous amount of sponging on the edges and hand-colored butterflies with the Blender Pens for a soft look!

Best of butterflies

That's all for today! Hope you are enjoying these swaps! Please leave me a comment to let me know, ok?

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
