Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on May 22, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is Sunday, which means church and time to share some swaps! yay!

Most of today's swaps I received at OnStage Live in Salt Lake City in April, and unless I note the creator, I don't know who they are.

First, a bright and cheery creation using the Occasions Catalog set, Apple of My Eye. It's hard to see in the picture, but each fruit slice has been embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (which has now sold out from the Retiring List)

Next, a combination of Whisper White, Mint Macaron, a Bold Butterfly and Butterflies Framelit, and the retiring Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and And Many More stamp set:

This swap using the Wild About Flowers set, Brick Wall folder, and Greatest Greeting set are ALL carrying over to the new catalog! yay!

Finally, Carol Slack used the Sassy Salutations set with the Confetti Textured Impressions Folder along with a bit of Punch Art for her graduation card:

Carol used the streamer image from Celebrate Today to create the graduation tassel. She attached it to the grad cap with a retiring Silver 1/8" brad.

Inside Carol used a phrase from the retiring Fabulous Four set:

Just a little over a week left of the Retiring List! Review the list and make your selections by ordering in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Also remember that the price of all card stock is increasing on June 1st, so be sure to stock up while you can still get your favorite colors at the lower price!

Remember while shopping:

All orders of any amount (except Online Class Orders) will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail.

When your order is at least $35 (before tax & shipping) and you use the May Hostess Code: AJJXYHHK you will receive the May Online Class; six cards, two each of three designs, with envelopes and instructions, FREE!

That’s all for now, until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!

Stampin’ Up! Number of Years for the Graduate!

Posted on April 30, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card for you that was inspired by one of my down-line, Becky Anderson. Every month at our team meeting we swap cards with each other to have for ideas for our workshops and classes and for display. I took the card that Becky swapped and with very little extra embellishment turned it into this:

This card uses It's My Party Designer Paper, retiring bu still available from the Occasions Catalog, and the Large Numbers Framelits, which are carrying over to the NEW Annual Catalog.

The black background for the numbers is embossed with the Lucky Stars folder. The "Congrats" is from the continuing Happy Happenings set, but has been punched with the already-sold-out Washi Label Punch. The star punch used on this card is also retiring as part of the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

Inside I stamped "it's your day", a phrase from the retiring Fabulous Four set. The "let the celebration. . . " phrase is also from Happy Happenings, which will continue to be avaialble when the new catalog starts on June 1.

Stampin’ Up! Challenge Cards Made By Becky!

Posted on April 20, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have cards created by a member of my team, Becky Anderson. At our monthly team meeting I post a challenge for the next month to create a card with a theme. Last month's theme was anything with flowers and my team created some beautiful samples. Today I have three to share with you from Becky!

First, Becky layered a piece of Birthday Bouquet Designer Paper (retiring) over a Blushing Bride base with a layer of Watermelon Wonder in between. After adding a pleated piece of Watermelon Wonder 1 1/4" Striped Satin Ribbon (retiring), she added a fancy-cut bloom from another piece of Birthday Bouquet paper. A fancy-cut greeting from the Balloon Celebration stamp set finishes it all off.

Inside she stamped a phrase from Suite Sayings and "Happy Birthday" from a stamp set I know I should know but am unable to identify! lol!

Becky's next entry is a monochromatic Calypso Coral card using Botanical Builder Framelits, rhinestones, and a greeting from Butterfly Basics, all carrying over to the new catalog!

Inside Becky punched the corners of the Whisper White layer with the Curvy Corner Trio punch again, then stamped a phrase from the Fabulous Four set, which is retiring on May 31st.

Becky's final creation starts with a Sahara Sand card base with a layer of Basic Black, followed by a top layer of Timeless Elegance Designer Paper that she sponged with Real Red ink.

She added a greeting from Petite Pairs (retiring), punched with retiring oval punches. The Sahara Sand 7/8" Lace Trim is also retiring.

Inside Becky stamped a phrase from Blessed By God (retiring) and punched the corners with the Curvy Corner Trio punch (also retiring)

You can still find and order all of the products used today in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Hey there! Sale-a-bration ends on March 31st. Did you know the Demonstrator Starter Kit Special also ends on March 31st? The Starter Kit is still $99, but Stampin' Up! has ADDED $30 more dollars of product for a total of $155 worth of Stampin' Up! product!

Stampin' Up! has a cool flyer showing "suggested" selections of products to choose for your kit-you choose all the stampin' stuff and Stampin' Up! throws in all the business supplies (catalogs, order forms, etc) that you need to get started at no additional charge!

Click here: Product Suggestions for the Starter Kit

I made some of the cards shown on the flyer, plus one of my own:

First, I CASED the flyer with Flower Shop and Fabulous Four:

Then I CASED this one:

Both cards would be fun to use for your first workshop or Open House!

I then added Timeless Textures to Flower Shop to stamp a Crumb Cake Note Card & Envelope:

A sentiment from Happy Happenings on the outside:

And on the inside:

I stamped the flourish from Timeless Textures with Tip Top Taupe ink and stamped-off the speckles with Tip Top Taupe.

I know will use Timeless Textures a lot, but the stamp I will use most:

Doesn't that coffee stain make the perfect "C"?!

I combined the coffee stain with the "created by" copyright stamp from Creatively Yours, then hand-wrote my name with a Tip Top Taupe Stampin' Write Marker. A uniquely personal copyright! yay!

Stampin’ Up! Cherry on Top Banner Card!

Posted on March 14, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm sorry I didn't get to do a Sunday Swap Day post. After Sunday dinner I went down for a "30 minute" nap that lasted about two hours, but I'm feeling much better today!

Today I have one of the cards we made at the library on Saturday using Cherry on Top Designer Paper, Fabulous Four, Party Pants, and the Balloon Bouquet Punch:

I love this layout of banners punched with the Banner Triple Punch. It's quick but shows off several pretty patterns of paper at the same time!

Less than three weeks left to choose the Party Pants set as your free gift with your $50 order. Sale-a-bration ends on March 31st!

ALWAYS remember to stamp your words first, then emboss!

Here's a fun trick to tie the strings on the balloons: make an open loop with your string, slide the loop under the balloon end, then pull the string tight around the end and trim te end of the string!

Gather the string ends together, secure with a glue dot, then tie a separate bow and adhere over the gathered area with another glue dot.

Inside we stamped another phrase from Fabulous Four and added a tiny balloon punched with one of the Party Pack Punches.

Here's the class handout to download and print:
