Final two Simply Scoring swaps!

Posted on December 3, 2011 by Carol Payne

Cindy Ewertz use the Scoring Tool on the diagonal to add the scoring interest on this card. She also spent some time with her Paper Snips, snipping away to make the precise cuts necessary for the flower center! WOW! I don't believe I would have the patience to make 21 of these, but it's beautiful!

And alas, the final swap this month has NO NAME! What a shame, as it is a swap I would be proud to put my name on! "Delicate Doilies" stamped in Island Indigo on Whisper White, sponged with Pool Party, and layered on Island Indigo and Pool Party. GREAT CARD! Would be a good "workshop WOW" technique! I especially love the little hanging heart accent!

OK, you've seen all my November swaps, so get ready for some fun tomorrow!

Until then, have a "Stampingrox!" day!

Three More Beautiful Swaps!

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Carol Payne

Opening my package from my monthly swap is just like having Christmas once a month! This swap by Beth Weinstein featured the "faux tile" technique again, along with the "Medallion" background stamp and a gorgeous Antique Brad ! Just perfect!

Kathy Stephenson did a great job with the Simply Scoring Tool to make the diagonal lines behind the "Fun Flower" die cut. She also used the soon-to-be-retired-never-to-be-available-again Spice Cake Designer Series Paper behind the 3 1/2" Die Cut Circle! Lovely elegant card!

Last but not least, Nancy Hall paired the "Medallion" background stamp with "Beyond the Garden" Designer Series Paper to create this "simply wonderful" card! "you are simply wonderful" is a phrase from the "Friendly Phrases" stamp set, and the DSP rosette was scored with the Simply Scoring Tool. I hope to have a tutorial for you soon on how to make these!

Valentine swap cards!

Posted on November 27, 2011 by Carol Payne

Since the theme of this month's swap could be anything as long as we used the Simply Scoring Tool, I received these three lovely Valentines. Even though it's not Christmas yet, before we know it the New Year will be here and it will be time to need a card to send to our loved ones!

This first one is by Kathy Morgan, and features the "Greeting Card Kids" set and Silver Glimmer Paper! I love how Kathy used the Simply Scored to accent the white space!

Rene Watson used the "Stripes" Textured Impressions Folder to co-ordinate with the vertical scored lines on this simple punched Valentine with the "Full Heart" punch in Red Glimmer paper and phrase from the "With All My Heart" stamp set! Great job!

Rhonda Bassler used the soon-to-be-going-away-maybe-forever Holiday Mini set, "You Are Loved"! She used the Simply Scored to do the "faux tile" technique on the "happy valentines" section, and then scored vertical lines on the punched Extra Large Oval behind the "love" punched large oval!

Three beautiful cards for the last Sunday of November! Don't forget, the Online Extravaganza Sale is still going on through this Wednesday, November 30th! If you place an online order through my Stampin' Up! website, don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack for some cool values there too!

Until Monday, have a "Stampingrox"! day!
