Stampin’ Up! Cruise Swaps Part 4!

Posted on June 5, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! So many cute swaps to share, I just decided to keep it rolling this week!

First, a gorgeously silver-embossed creation using Flowering Flourishes and Petite Pairs. Somehow I have lost the creator's info, so if you know who made it, please let me know!

I love how there are both tiny pearls and tiny silver brads to pull the white and the silver together. The Boho Blossom-punched flowers have been distressed and separated using the Faux Suede technique to achieve the soft layers.

Not often do you get a swap that is not only a full card (most are just card fronts), but is stamped inside too:

Stampin’Up! Wonderful Blessing!

Posted on September 6, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! We interrupt "What to Washi Week" to bring you this brand spankin' new creation:

I created this with the new Wonderful Blessing single stamp (#134779 $8.95). I gold heat-embossed the image, along with Flowering Flourishes images on Midnight Muse cardstock.

I decided to use the "Double Door" or "Gatefold" layout. Here's the basic design:

Cut two card bases
8 1/2” x 4 ¼”. Score each at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼” on the 8 ½” side with Simply
Scoring Tool. Use the smaller end of the scoring tool to score your lines. This
lets the folds come together more closely when you put the card together. Fold
both bases into a “z” shape as shown in picture #2. Attach 4 ¼” x 4 ¼” sections
to each other to form card back with SNAIL.

I then cut the circles for the "doors" with the Circles Collection Framelits. It's not easy to describe this step. Maybe I will do a video for this card soon, we'll see! Leave me a comment if you would like to see this card in a video!

I'm lovin' how this card turned out!

The "merry christmas" is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, embossed on Midnight Muse and punched with the Word Window punch. I punched some of the new Gold Foil sheets with the Modern Label punch to layer behind it.

That's all for now! I'm going to read to my grandson, Cohen, in his kindergarten class today for Grandparent's Day, so we shall see what I accomplish after I get home!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! NEW Sketched Birthday!

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Monday Morning to you! I have some fun samples to show you today from the swap in Fiji, using the upcoming new Annual Catalog set, Sketched Birthday! Go HERE to see my Fiji swap using this set. Let's jump right in, shall we?

First, a fun little 4×4 card using the new In Colors of Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding!

This swap uses the not-retiring designer paper, Polka Dot Parade, and one of the Apothecary Accents framelits to cut out the greeting!

More Polka Dot Parade paper, Apothecary Accents framelits, and Bitty Banners framelits!

This sample combines Sketched Birthday with our first photopolymer stamp set, Designer Type, which was used to creat the banner. New designer paper was used, Epic Day!

Our final sample today combines Sketched Birthday with Flowering Flourishes. The unique feature of this one is the correction fluid the creator used to accent the Jet Black StazOn-stamped images, giving this one a "bandana" feel! There are actually several household and office-related items that can be utilized very easily to embellish your creations! I hope to be showing you some of those in the coming days!

That's all for today! Hope you've enjoyed Sketched Birthday, which will be available to order on May 31st!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Tricky Treats!

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Carol Payne

Thanks to Founder's Circle 2012 and Dawn Griffith I have this cute swap using "Tricky Treats" from the Annual Catalog to show you!

It has a surprise inside for you!

"Happy Boo! from me to you" is from "Monster Munchies", one of the few Holiday Catalog Sets I do not own! I know! I'm shocked too!

Coming down to the wire today. Tomorrow is my October Punch & Technique Class and I am almost ready! Here's a few projects I have prepped:

A cute little owl Fancy Favor Box I CASED from Wendy Wexler's blog!

An adorable snowman with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch:

And a technique I CASED from Linda Guitterez' Founder's swap with "Flowering Flourishes" I'm calling "Torn Glossy"!

That's it for now! Got to get my walk in, do my stretching exercises for my sore back, then get crackin' on my stampin'!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!
