Stampin’Up! More Easy Hoppity Baskets!

Stampin’Up! More Easy Hoppity Baskets!

Hey there! Hope you've had a good day. We had another reminder today that winter is not entirely gone with rounds of sleet, rain, and a threat of snow! Fortunately, the snow did not materialize, but it was pretty yucky here most of the day. A big change from Saturday when it was in the low 70's!

I hope you've enjoyed the Stamper's Dozen March Hoppity Hop Hop! If you missed it you can go back to THIS POST and hop through all 13 blogs to see what our group created for you!

Of course, you know I couldn't just make one itty-bitty basket and leave it at that! Here's a couple of sets of baskets I made for my hostess gifts for the rest of March.

The first set I inked the tulips from the Backyard Basics set with Melon Mambo and Wisteria Wonder Stampin' Write Markers and cut them out with the Backyard Basics Framelits before adding them to the baskets with Glue Dots. I also edged each basket with "grass" cut with the Fringe Scissors and butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.

I've already given a couple of these baskets away. I went a little overboard with my punches for these baskets. I used the Boho Blossoms Punch and the 1/2" Circle for the sunflowers, and the Real Red and Primrose Petals flowers. I used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack four-petal flower punch for the Rich Razzleberry flowers and scalloped-circle flower punch from the same pack for the centers of the Real Red flowers. All of the leafy stems are punched with the Bird Builder Punch.

Rhinestones and some Textured Impressions embossing finished it them all off nicely!

So what do you think of these little babies? Would you like one of your own? Every hostess from now on will receive a little hand-made project from me at their party!

In case you missed the tutorial, here's just the basket portion of my Hoppity Hop Hop handout:

That's all for now! I have a couple of new cards in the works, both using a new fold I call "Reverse Easel". Be sure to come back tomorrow to see the first one!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Backyard Basics!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Backyard Basics!

Hey there! I had a perfectly marvelous day yesterday with my stampers at my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack! I can hardly wait to stamp some more on Monday!

For today's Sunday Swap Day I dug out a couple of swaps using Backyard Basics stamps and framelits from my monthly swap a few month's ago:

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_laura_milligan
Laura Milligan used Soft Sky and Smoky Slate with Backyard Basics for her calm and serene card above.

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_ruth_bingle
Ruth Bingle went with a similar soft color palette, using Wisteria Wonder instead of Soft Sky. I love her watercolored iris and smart little bow made with the Oval Punch!

The only thing I would add to these cards would be a greeting so they would "speak"!

This Sunday is a busy day with a bake sale after church, family lunch at our house (as usual), then  a Ladies' Friendship Circle meeting before church again!

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

Stampin’ Up! Happy Day for Sunday!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Day for Sunday!

Good Morning! Today is a really amazing day for our church! The Carpenter's for Christ have been at Ina Free Will Baptist Church this past week everyday, 117 men from all professions and several different states, to raise the rafters and build the shell for our new sanctuary. They do the work for FREE, so they are saving our congregation thousands and thousands of dollars! They will be here for TWO whole weeks and since today is the weekend that connects those two weeks, we are having our church service with these men down at our local grade school so we have room for everyone, then after church we are all having a dinner together too! It's going to be a great day!

Yesterday I worked on my projects for my four workshops next week, and here is a really cute, happy one, inspired by Debbie Crawley, using the new catalog set, Happy Day!


Happy day 1

Strawberry Slush, Gumball Green, and Whisper White pair to make a cheerful statement to "Smile"! The flower is Strawberry Slush 2013-2015 In Color Designer Paper cut with a Floral Frames Framelit, and the flower stem is Gumball Green cardstock cut with the leaf from the Secret Garden framelits. The center of the flower is punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch. Overall, a pretty Clean-and-Simple card!


Happy day 2
I just love this phrase from another new set, Really Good Greetings. I can tell I'm going to be using this set a lot this year!

Well, I've got to get finish getting ready for today! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fiji Swaps!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fiji Swaps!

Good morning! I'm staying home from church this morning because although I now have the proper meds, at times I'm still coughing my head off, and I don't want annoy everyone around me and disturb the service. I'm hoping after a second day of antibiotics my system will start to turn this around. I am, however, VERY thankful to not have that crazy fever anymore!

Today's samples are more of the swaps pics from Fiji, this time a collection of them using the Secret Garden stamps and framelits. These pics are from the swap boards so I'm not entirely sure how they were all made as I didn't get a chance to "reverse engineer" them (this was a term my son used when my friend Meg & I were discussing how some of the swaps we received were  made as we sat by the pool one day. He said "reverse engineering" was bad in his world of Information Technology. We told him it's perfectly acceptable in the stamping world!)

Secret garden friend

This first swap has Epic Day designer paper for the background, then white embossed flowers that have been painted with inkpads and an Aquapainter. (I think!) There's also a Paper-Pierced Garden Green Window Framelit-cut layer peeking out from behind the flowers and leaves!

Secret garden ep

This one is a real beauty, but trying to reverse-engineer this one from a picture is a toughie! I'm pretty sure Pool Party or Tempting Turquoise and am almost positive Melon Mambo embossing powder was used, but I only "think" there was some bleach-stamping going on here as well!

What do you think?

Secret garden art

This last sample uses the "reinker spread" technique to get the flowing colors on these white-embossed blossoms. The greeting is from a catalog favorite of mine, Trust God, and the punch-out circle is framed by a Sahara Sand layer cut with the Delicate Doilies Sizzlet!

That's all for today! Tomorrow is "Countdown Week to the New Catalog", and I will be sharing swaps made with new catalog products all week! I can't wait to show you some of the cool stuff we are getting!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden!

I know this post is later than normal, but I'm here!

This card is one from my Punch/Technique Class this month. I call it "Embedded Embossing with Framelits"!

Embedded framelit embossing 1
©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

I stamped the Secret Garden flowers with Pretty in Pink ink on Pink Pirouette and the leaf stem with Soft Suede on Very Vanilla, then cut them out with the Secret Garden Framelits. After SNAILing them to my card front I ran it all through the Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder.

Embedded framelit embossing 2
©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

The inside is stamped with a phrase from Feel Goods in the Occasions Catalog, and EVERYTHING, inside and out is sponged with Soft Suede ink!

It just wouldn't be Vintage without dirtying it up with sponging, would it?

Here's a close up of the embedded flowers with Basic Jewel Pearls accents:

Embedded framelit embossing 3
©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 5/8" Very Vanilla Flower Trim!

We counted a new package of them the other night. At $6.95, they are really a GREAT DEAL because the two yards contained 100 flowers! WOW!

Embedded framelit embossing 4
©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

Notice the ribbon trim along the front? It's actually one of the Flower Trim, but I cut between the spiraled "petals" and found this really delicate scalloped ribbon! After SNAILing it to the card front, I added the strips of pearls from the Basic Jewels Pearls pack.

Oh, BTW, the Designer Paper at the bottom of the card is Tea for Two!

That's all for today! Today I plan to play with some new ideas! I actually woke up the other night dreaming about a technqiue variation I'm dying to try!  Don't worry! If it works out I'll for sure show it to you!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Good morning Stampers!

So sorry for the late posting this morning, once in awhile things just do not go as planned, do they?

Here's another "punched glitter" technique card, only this time I used the Big Shot Framelits to cut out the "Apothecary Art" image!

This picture doesn't do the glitteriness justice, but you can get the idea! We are making this card at my workshop in Marion tonight! I get to stamp with these lovely ladies almost every month and I can't wait!

Well, I'd better run and get the rest of my projects for tonight all packed up!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day
