Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Birthdays are Great!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Birthdays are Great!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had an open Saturday (something that RARELY happens for me) so I was able to stamp for fun! I went with a group of my stampers to Gigi's Retreat in Dix IL! I highy recommend it. Tonya really spoils you with good food, snacks, tons of paper crafting supplies at your fingertips, and a gorgeous place to craft!

We are off to Effingham to day for Cohen's baptism. He and his cousin, Justus, are being baptised by their Hollis grandpa, so Mark & I are going up for the service.

Today I have a few more swaps to share before some of the products completely retire:

Stampin_up_another_great_year_1
Kathy Morgan used Another Great Year (not retiring!) with Eastern Elegance Designer Paper (retiring) and Label Collection Framelit to create this fun easel card.

Stampin_up_another_great_year_2

Gold Foil Vellum and Baked Brown Sugar ink make this card happy!

Brenda Hukriede used Retro Fresh Designer Paper, Bring on the Cake stamps (retiring) and the Banner Punch:

Stampin_up_bring_on_the_cake_1

Brenda had a surprise inside:

Bring_on_the_cake_2

Your own personal cake! So fun!

Lastly, Cindy Ewertz used Epic Day  Paper and Create a Cupcake stamps (sold out in clear but still available in wood) to create  a shaker card:

Stampin_up_perfect_pennants_1

Perfect Pennants, Gold Sequin Trim, and the Fringe Scissors to make easy confetti:

Stampin_up_perfect_pennants_2

Bring on the Cake (retired and completely sold out, sorry!) for the Happy Birthday:

Stampin_up_perfect_pennants_3

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

Here's the supply lists. You can go HERE to shop for your stamp-y needs!

Stampin’ Up! Washi Tape is Wonderful!

Stampin’ Up! Washi Tape is Wonderful!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Typepad (my blogging platform) was down last night, so I was unable to get my blog post up before I went to bed. I have a bunch of fun cards for you today using washi tape, so let's get started!

My first sample for you I CASED from Rachel Tessman of Canada. Retro Fresh Washi tape was laid on the card front in a radiating pattern that gives it an all-over look of designer paper. Washi tape is a low-tack tape, so if you haven't pressed it down onto the cardstock you can lift and re-position a little without tearing the paper. The little stamped stars are from the Sale-a-bration Banner Blast set in Tangerine Tango, So Saffron, and Coastal Cabana ink. The greeting is from You're Amazing, and rhinestones were added for a little sparkle.

Stampin_up_retro_fresh_youre_amazing_banner_blast_1 - Copy

The inside is quick and easy too, using a greeting from Delightful Dozen:

Stampin_up_retro_fresh_delightful_dozen_banner_blast - Copy

I stepped-up this next card for a workshop Make-n-take by adding a card base of Tangerine Tango and a few gold sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim. You can use Glue Dots or Tombow Glue to attach the sequins.

Stampin_up_retro_fresh_youre_amazing_1 - Copy

Stampers at the workshop will have their choice from the Delightful Dozen greeting or this one from "Yippee-Skippee!" They will also line their envelope with a bit of Retro Fresh Designer Paper and an Envelope Liner Framelit.

Stampin_up_retro_fresh_yippee-skippee - Copy

For a more masculine look, I used the same layout but switched to Epic Day This and That Washi Tape and a greeting from Countless Sayings 2 photopolymer. Card base is Basic Gray and inks are Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, and Crumb Cake.

Stampin_up_epic_day_countless_sayings_2

Delightful Dozen on the inside again and I added some more washi tape to keep the continuity going:

Stampin_up_epic_day_delightful_dozen

I love that we have more than a couple of washi tapes to choose from! Three rolls in each package with 5 yards per roll for only $4.95!

I used Gingham Garden Washi tape for my feminine sample. Daffodil Delight card base, then the little flower from the Banner Blast stamp set stamped in Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Island Indigo.

Stampin_up_gingham_garden_youre_amazing

Up close you can see the detail of the scalloped paper-piercing. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack as my guide. Just a little bit of piercing adds such a fun detail! Greeting from You're Amazing again.

Stampin_up_gingham_garden_youre_amazing_2 - Copy

Inside is another greeting from the You're Amazing stamp set.

Stampin_up_gingham_garden_youre_amazing_3 - Copy

As you can see from these samples, it doesn't require a lot of supplies to create multiple looks with one layout. A limited supply challenge can be fun!

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

Stampin’ Up! Open Sea for Father’s Day!

Stampin’ Up! Open Sea for Father’s Day!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Today I want to show you the third card we made at SWOW Class this month, a masculine card using the Open Sea stamp set, inspired by Tami White!

Open Sea 1

LOTS of Direct-to-Paper stamping! And can you see the Epic Day This and That Washi Tape?

Open Sea 2

Inside my stampers had the option to add the "DAD" letters or leave blank for a personal message. I LOVE the old ledger-style designs in the Epic Day This and That Designer Paper!

Open Sea 5

We did some gradient-color stamping with a stamp from Clockworks that has hidden "seagull" images! We started with Soft Sky ink, then stamped with Pool Party, then finished with Island Indigo! After stamping the ship image with Jet Black StazOn, we re-whitened the ships' sails with a White Gel Pen.

Open Sea 3
 The background layer of Epic Day This and That Designer Paper was embossed with the Chevron folder, then sponged with Pool Party to make the design pop!

That's all for today! I have another workshop to get ready for this evening, so I will be busy! Hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fiji Swaps!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fiji Swaps!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! I'm staying home from church this morning because although I now have the proper meds, at times I'm still coughing my head off, and I don't want annoy everyone around me and disturb the service. I'm hoping after a second day of antibiotics my system will start to turn this around. I am, however, VERY thankful to not have that crazy fever anymore!

Today's samples are more of the swaps pics from Fiji, this time a collection of them using the Secret Garden stamps and framelits. These pics are from the swap boards so I'm not entirely sure how they were all made as I didn't get a chance to "reverse engineer" them (this was a term my son used when my friend Meg & I were discussing how some of the swaps we received were  made as we sat by the pool one day. He said "reverse engineering" was bad in his world of Information Technology. We told him it's perfectly acceptable in the stamping world!)

Secret garden friend

This first swap has Epic Day designer paper for the background, then white embossed flowers that have been painted with inkpads and an Aquapainter. (I think!) There's also a Paper-Pierced Garden Green Window Framelit-cut layer peeking out from behind the flowers and leaves!

Secret garden ep

This one is a real beauty, but trying to reverse-engineer this one from a picture is a toughie! I'm pretty sure Pool Party or Tempting Turquoise and am almost positive Melon Mambo embossing powder was used, but I only "think" there was some bleach-stamping going on here as well!

What do you think?

Secret garden art

This last sample uses the "reinker spread" technique to get the flowing colors on these white-embossed blossoms. The greeting is from a catalog favorite of mine, Trust God, and the punch-out circle is framed by a Sahara Sand layer cut with the Delicate Doilies Sizzlet!

That's all for today! Tomorrow is "Countdown Week to the New Catalog", and I will be sharing swaps made with new catalog products all week! I can't wait to show you some of the cool stuff we are getting!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
