My 500th Blog Post! Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fancy Fold!

Posted on March 13, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I am especially excited today to be writing my 500th blog post! So excited that I am offering a Stampin' Up! Stampin' Trimmer as a gift to one lucky person who leaves a comment here on my blog today! I started this promotion yesterday in anticipation of my 500th post, but so far only ONE person has left a comment! I can hardly BELIEVE it! Everyone who comments today will get a chance in the drawing, so COME ON STAMPERS, leave me some comments!

In honor of this MOMENTOUS occasion (at least for me!) I created this card:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the card I showed you here back on the first of March as my template, then got busy changing the color scheme! I used Daffodil Delight cardstock for my base, Floral District Designer Paper, and the Secret Garden Bundle from the Occasions catalog.

Sometimes when I am creating from "scratch" it takes me a long time and sacrifices several pieces of cardstock before I am happy with the result, but this time the creative juices flowed freely and I had my sample to my pleasing in a very short amount of time!

I had been thinking that this type of fold would lend itself nicely as a gift-card holder, and I was right!

I used the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Folder, "Happiness" from Loving Thoughts, and the "just for you" from the Pop-up Posies Designer Kit to finish things off.

Well, how's that for a 500th blog post? I am so pleased to have reached the 500 mark, now it's on to 1000!

Don't forget to leave me a comment to get your name in the drawing for the Stampin' Trimmer!

I need to close for now, my son, Logan is coming home this evening for a long weekend from school, and my sister-in-law, Debbie is coming this weekend, so I have lots to prepare!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Papillon Potpourri!

Posted on August 6, 2012 by Carol Payne

Today I thought I would start showing you some of my swaps from convention. I've managed to sort some of them into groups according to stamp set, so today I'm featuring "Papillon Potpourri"!

This swap somehow managed to lose it's maker's name. If you know who made this beautiful creation, please let me know! This swap was made with Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, as well as one of the Delicate Designs Folders, and the Elegant Butterfly Punch:

One of the great things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is all the dear sweet friends you meet at events like convention and Founder's Circle. Dena Rekow is one of those sweethearts I am so proud to call my friend. Dena is a little powerhouse of energy but has been having a difficult time the past year. She created this one for her New Catalog Open House, a simple one-layer card but beautiful! Check out her blog:

and her Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website:

Dena used a set from Petite Pairs for the greeting and the inside sentiment:

Swapping goes on everywhere at convention! One lunchtime I walked by a group participating in a SUDSOL swap and was fourtunate to snag this beauty from Catherine Harwood:

Floral District DSP, Elegant Butterfly Punch, and a sentiment from"Just Believe"!

See you tomorrow with another batch of swaps!

Until tomorrow, have a Stamingrox! Day!

Stampin’Up! NEW Annual 2012-2013 Catalog is HERE!

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Carol Payne

I really must apologize for the lack of blogging the past few days. I've been head-down getting ready for this weekend! LOTS going on around here! I had my New Catalog "Crazy Day" Open House yesterday, and WOW it WAS CRAZY! Over 40 stampers showed up to get their new sprial bound catalog from me, pick up unbound catalogs for friends who couldn't come, sign up for classes and product shares, view new catalog samples, and stamp two cute Make n' Takes!

Here's one (two actually, as their was a choice between these two samples):

Aren't these CUTE!!!???!!!! They are just a simple little box with a wrap around them. I learned how to make these from Becky Roberts, and then got busy with new DSP and colors! Here's the side view:

We used the new "Summer Smooches" and "Floral District" Designer Paper for these, as well as the new "Itty Bitty Banners" stamp set and "Bitty Banners" Framelits! They open like this:

I will post the simple cutting and scoring directions for these tomorrow, but right now I've got to run, we are taking Logan to college in Rolla, MO, which is a 3 hour drive, so have to get the ball rolling for that!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
