Stampin’ Up! Magical Season!

Posted on October 26, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm getting ready to go to a wedding today, so I just have a few minutes to post this gorgeous card that was shared on a facebook group I am a member of for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.

With Robin Merriman's permission:

I LOVE this card!

She used the Magical Season #134777 Single Stamp cut out with a Chalk Talk Framelit, Smoky Slate, Pool Party, and Winter Frost Designer Paper, Festive Flurry Framelits with Silver Glimmer Paper, and a Vintage Faceted Button with Island Indigo Baker's Twine.

The final touch I have done in the past but had forgotten about is the Crystal Effects/Dazzling Diamonds "icicles" she added below the greeting! LOVE!

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

Stampin Up! Creations by Yes, Mam! Angela Henson!

Posted on October 15, 2013 by Carol Payne

Are you wondering why I am featuring another one of my downline, the "Yes, Mam! Stampers", on my blog again today? With the Join Stampin' Up! for $25 Starter Kit getting ready to expire next Monday, I wanted to share with you how much I love my downline girls! They are an awesome group of ladies who love to stamp and love sharing Stampin' Up!

Angela Henson is one awesome lady! She's a Physician's Assistant by day, and a Stampin' Up! demo nights & weekends! This just shows you don't have to have oodles of time on your hands to enjoy this passion!

Here are a couple of Angela's recent creations:

Angela used Pool Party and Whisper White cardstock with Pool Party and Encore Metallic Silver ink to create this gorgeous card using the Festive Flurry stamps and framelits bundle and a greeting from Sweet Essentials! She accented with Rhinestone jewels and 1/8" Silver ribbon!

She left the inside blank for a personal message, but I love the way she used the same stamps and inks to bring the outside and the inside of the card to complement each other!

For her second creation, Angela used the same Festive Flurry stamp set, but with a Midnight Muse, Whisper White and Silver combo. She addded some Silver Glimmer paper punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch, 1/8" Silver Ribbon, Rhinestones, and a greeting from the Wishing You stamp set punched with the Decorative Label Punch!

So many of our stamp sets have two phrase stamps that complement each other, which is the case with Wishing You. Angela finished off the inside of ther card with Encore Metallic Silver-stamped snowflakes and the coresponding Wishing You phrase!

If you would like to join my group of Yes Mam! Stampers, I am getting Welcome Packets ready to go in the mail to my new recruits taking advantage of the $25 Starter Kit, and I would love to send a Welcome Packet to you! Just go to my Stampin' Up! website www.carolpayne.stampinup.net and click on the "join the fun" tab on the upper right side.

Stampin’ Up! Creations by Yes, Mam! Linda Reaney!

Posted on October 14, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hi there! I want to share with you a couple of creations by one of the members of my dowline, the Yes, Mam! Stampers, Linda Reaney!

First, Linda CASED a card that Shelli Gardner showed on stage during the Stampin' Up! convention this past July. She used the new Label Card Thinlet Dies, Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder, Petite Pairs stamps, Merry Minis Punch Pack, Silver Glimmmer Paper, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Festive Flurry Framelits, Winter Frost Designer Paper, Silver 1/8" Ribbon, and Festive Flurry stamps.

I just LOVE how these Card Thinlet Dies let you "flip" your card just by opening it a little bit!

Did you know that gold is supposed to be the new silver this season? Gold sure works for this card! Linda used the new Gold Foil Sheets from the Holiday Cotalog, Oval Collection Framelits, Keepsake Ornament stamps and Holiday ornament framelits,and a greeting from More Merry Messages, all matted on a Cherry Cobbler card base.

That's all for now! Today is the first day to register for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference in Houston, TX! yay! It's not until early January, but it's a really great event to attend! It will be fun!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day Snowflakes!

Posted on October 5, 2013 by Carol Payne

For my Sunday Swap Day I decided to share with you some of the cute cards I have received as swaps featuring snowflakes!

Jan Rodrian used the Circle Thinlet Card Die, Winter Frost Designer Paper, a snowflake from the Snowflake Soiree set (on the Holiday Catalog Carryover List), and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel!

When you open and "flip" the card you see the "merry" and more snowflakes from Snowflake Soiree, along with a phrase from another Carryover set, More Merry Messages!

Meg Daves also used the Circle Card Thinlet Die and Winter Frost Designer Paper, adding a current Holiday Catalog snowflake from the Festive Flurry set which she cut out with a coordinating Festive Flurry Framelit!

Meg finished her "flip" side with a phrase from the Holiday Catalog set, Christms Messages.

Tamie Ackerson combined the Christmas Collectibles stamp & punch with the tried-and-true Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder and the new Stylish Stripes Folder. The "hanger" for the ornament is the new 1/8" Silver ribbon.

Tamie stamped the inside of her card with one of the four fun greetings in the Joy to the World set.

Karen Kurz white heat-embossed the cute little Snow Day snowman on Coastal Cabana cardstock, then stamped the snowflakes from the same set to complement the Winter Frost Designer Specialty Paper.

Circle Thinlet Cards are really hot right now, and a fun feature of the die is the ability to add an extra flap, which Karen did for hers. She used a phrase from Petite Pairs to finish this card off just right!

Last but definitely not least, Cathy Stephenson used the "dryer sheet" technique to add the look of snow over her stamped "Lovely As a Tree" trees.

"Merry Christmas" from More Merry Messages says it all.

That's all for now. Thanks so much for stopping by today. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry Swaps!

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hello! I've had a really good day today. Lots of family around here all day, and now Liam is spending the night! Troy had a question for me today when I mentioned Liam was "spending the night". He wanted to know why we say "spend the night", instead of "sleep-over" or "stay". I really had no answer, it is just something we say. Is is just our area of the country? What do you say?

Since we had a family day around here today, I decided to share a couple more of my monthly swaps with you, this time using the Festive Flurry stamps and framelits from the Holiday Catalog. Stampin' Up! knew we would all want them so much they even put them together in a bundle so you can save 15%, how about that?

First up, Lorraine Duran's creation:

Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Folder, Island Indigo & Whisper White cardstock, Silver Glimmer Paper, Crumb Cake & Island Indigo ink, an Extra Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel, and "a very merry christmas" from the Wishing You stamp set!

After cutting out the negative space with one of the Festive Flurry Framelits, she added a layer of clear Window Sheet to suspend and attach the rest of the snowflake! (so sorry the picture is blurry!)

Rene Watson used the Festive Flurry stamps and framelits for her gorgeous creation, along with Silver heat-embossing and the Perfect Pairs stamp set for the greeting!

Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry!

Posted on August 12, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Monday morning to you! Hope you had a good weekend! I had a fun class on Saturday! Lots of lovely ladies here to stamp, which I love!

I actually had TWO classes happening at the same time that day; my monthly WOW (Simply WOW) Class and my monthly Christmas Card Class. It's exhausting, but TONS of fun!

Today's card is a CASE (with my own tweaks of course!) of a card by Kirsteen Gill using the Festive Flurry Bundle from the Hoiday Catalog:

Kirsteen's was bling-less, but I added the Rhinestones, and used the cut-out piece from the center of the snowflake to stamp the greeting.

I used Smoky Slate for the card base. I love that we now have a light gray color again. I love our Brushed Silver & Gold cardstocks, but they are a bit pricey to use as a card base. Smoky Slate is a perfect silvery-gray color that can ecomonically used as the card base when the illusion of shine is needed.

I used Shimmery White for the top layer and the snowflake cut-outs. It's just the perfect weight and shine for the snowflakes on this card!

To make this card quick & easy, we used pieces of Winter Frost Specialty Designer Paper inside the cut-out opening. Accented with Basic Jewel Rhinestones and stamped with a Petite Pairs greeting, this card is an easy WOW!

Inside is also quick and easy: Smoky Slate-stamped Festive Flurry snowflakes and the corresponding phrase from Petite Pairs stamped in Island Indigo!

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