Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day – Valentine’s Day is on Its’ Way!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day – Valentine’s Day is on Its’ Way!

Posted on by Carol Payne

 

Hey there! It's Sunday, which means it's the day I share some of my monthly swaps with you all. Since it's really just a short time before Valentine's Day is here, I wanted to show you these two Valentines:

Stampin_up_love_you_more_1

This year Stampin' Up! released three limited-edition valentine sets that are only available until January 27th. This card by Mary Waring was created with the Love You More set (#131850 wood-mount $21.95 or #131853 clear-mount $16.95) and Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (#132996 $6.95). The paper-pieced birdie is holding a Cherry Cobbler-punched small heart and tiny linen-thread banner from the Follow My Heart Stamp Set.

Stampin_up_follow_my_heart_1

This card by Kathy Morgan was created with the Follow My Heart set (#134611 $15.95 wood-mount, #134614 $11.95 clear-mount), as well as the En Francais background (#128562 $17.95 wood-mount, #127790 $13.95 clear-mount) and the third limited-edition valentine stamp, Flowerful Heart stamp (#134617 $9.95 wood-mount only). Kathy stamped the Flowerful Heart stamp with Pink Pirouette ink on whisper white, then cut it out with the smallest of the Heart Framelits. She then cut a Raspberry Ripple heart with the next-sized-larger Heart Framelit.  The Eiffel Tower and the En Francais background are both stamped with Soft Suede in, then cut with an Oval Collection Framelit. It is layered on a next-sized-larger Soft Suede Oval.

If you like either of these card or any of these stamp sets, you need to order them right away before they are gone on January 27th!

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Prints and the Petite Petals Punch!

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Prints and the Petite Petals Punch!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Hope you are staying warm! They say it's going to start snowing again tonight, and snow until sometime tomorrow, with the possibility of 8-10 inches! Not as much as our last big storm in early December, but still a pretty big one for Southern Illinois! After the snow it's supposed to get even colder, with wind chills in the negative digits! I just hope this is all swept away before Linda & I travel over to St Louis to fly to Houston on Wednesday! eek!

I'm sure you didn't come see me to get a weather report, did ya? Nope, you want to see a card, don't you? Well, I've got a nice one for you today:

Stampin_up_fresh_prints_petite_petals_1

One of my hostesses for later this month, Cindy, was here on New Year's day for my class and picked out cards for her Stamp Camp (4 cards). The first three she picked we are doing exactly as they are, but the fourth one she asked me to combine two cards. Here's the two we combined:

First, she loved this layout by Ruth Anne Lilley. Ruth Anne used Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and Whisper White with the Petite Petals stamps and Punch:

Stampin_up_petite_petals_2

But, she had already fallen in love with another card using that color combo, so she asked me to use the layout from above with this color combo by Rhonda Bassler: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, and Real Red!

Stampin_up_petite_petals_1

Here's my adaptation again:

Stampin_up_fresh_prints_petite_petals_1

I kept the same layout, rubbing the Decorative Dots (sale-a-bration) raised areas of the Crumb Cake with the Baked Brown Sugar inkpad. The Coastal Cabana cardstock is punched with the Postage Stamp Punch (#122344 $15.95). I punched the Fresh Prints and Real Red paper with the new Petite Petals Punch (#133322 $12.95), then off-set them with a Glue Dot in the middle. I colored the Basic Jewel Rhinestones with a red Sharpie marker before adding them to the flower centers.

I used Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim (#130024 $8.95), adhered firmly to the card with Sticky Strip. I scalloped the Real Red with the Scallop Edge Border Punch (#119882 $15.95)

In the lower right corner I stamped a greeting from the Simply Sketched Hostess set with Baked Brown Sugar ink.

And the inside:

Stampin_up_fresh_prints_petite_petals_2

The "always thinking of you" is from another favorite hostess set of mine, Express Youself!

That's all for now! I need to do just a bit of clean-up on my tables from last nights' class before the next group of stampers arrive in a few hours!

All of these products are available to order (with the exception of the Decorative Dots folder, which will be available with Sale-a-bration starts on January 28) from my Online Store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Until tomorrow, which is Sunday Swap Day, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Happy New Year With a Scalloped Tag Topper Treat!

Stampin’ Up! Happy New Year With a Scalloped Tag Topper Treat!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy New Year 2014! Did you stay up late and ring in the new year? I did stay up to see the New Year in, but just stayed at home with my hubby. Not boring, just content.

I have a fun little treat holder to show you today using the new Scalloped Tag Topper Punch from the Occasions Catalog (that starts on January 3rd!)

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_nugget_holder-1

I think it is pretty appropriate for today, since it uses new Fresh Prints Desginer Paper  and a saying from the new Just Sayin' stamp and framelit bundle. I love this offset polka-dot paper with the Real Red, Whisper White, and Coastal Cabana color combo! The Pool Party 1 3/4" Scalloped Circle is the perfect background for the "whoo hoo!" from Just Sayin'.

This little baby was created with a 2 x 6 inch strip of the Fresh Prints paper, punched on both ends with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. A 2-inch piece of paper fits perfectly into the guide on the front of the punch and then is easily punched, including the slot for the ribbon, all at the same time! I added a Silver Glimmer punched Itty Bitty Shapes circle and a Real Red 1/8" Taffeta bow to the top to finish it off! It contains a single Hershey's chocolate nugget!

These would make a perfect tiny treat for birthdays or the soon-to-be-upon-us Valentine's Day classroom treat!

You can begin ordering Occasions Catalog products on Friday, January 3rd, but today and tomorrow you can still order your the rest of your wishlist from the Holiday Catalog!

To shop, go to my Online Store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

You can check out the Clearance Rack, new Weekly Deals, all the current catalogs, and Newest Arrivals while you are there!

Well, I've go to fly! I have to finish setting up for my "Stampin' in the New Year Stamp-a-Stack" later today!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! See Ya Later Post-It Notes!

Stampin’ Up! See Ya Later Post-It Notes!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! We are just about done with Christmas gatherings. Mark's siblings are all leaving today, but tonight is Jaxon's 2nd birthday party! Having your birthday the day after Christmas is hard. You're still in the middle of Christmas with one side of the family or the other on that day. Jessica decided to wait until things had calmed down a bit to have his family get to-gether, I purchased his birthday gifts while we were shopping for Christmas, so I am ready!

Today I have another project to share with you that we will be making at the Stampin' in the New Year Birthday Stamp-a-Stack, a Post-It Note Holder with Fresh Prints Designer Paper and a Sale-a-bration stamp set, See Ya Later:

Stampin_up_see_ya_later_1

Guess I had Post-It Notes on the brain when I was creating for this class! I have Post-its on this project and the calendar too! Oh well, they make great gifts and are always handy!

This is a re-do of a project I posted in January of 2012 HERE. The designer paper,  brads and the Big Shot Die I used for it are no longer available, but I used the largest Squares Collection Framelit for the base instead, and used the Owl Builder Punch and the Small Heart Punch to add just the right embellishment for this project!

That's all for now. I have a bit more prep to finish before the class starts Wednesday afternoon. I still have a few more seats open, be sure to RSVP to me today if you are coming! For those of you who can't attend or live too far away, I will be posting the directions for these projects after the classes are over while I am gone to Houston, TX, for Leadership.

Oh, did I tell you I'm presenting at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference on January 9th? Eeek! I'm working on the projects I will show during my presentation too!

Just a few more days left to order your final favs from the Holiday Catalog, Clearance Rack, and the Weekly Deals for this week! Go to my website to order:

Stampin’ Up! Another Great Year!

Stampin’ Up! Another Great Year!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Some of my kids have gone home, some are still here, and tomorrow my nephew and his sweet wife are coming to visit! yay!

Today's project is another we will be making next week at the Stampin' in the New Year Stamp-a-Stack using a new Occasions Catalog set, Another Great Year:

Stampin_up_another_great_year_1

I'm really diggin' the Pool Party, Whisper White, and Real Red color combo! Bet you couldn't tell from the projects I've been showing lately, could you?

For this card I stamped the giant "happy birthday" first in Real Red on the Whisper White layer, cleaned the stamp, then stamped on Real Red cardstock with Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and the Heat Tool. I then cut out the "happy" and "to you" banner pieces so I could layer them over the Real Red stamped image to give it a bit of a "split negative" look.

I embossed the Pool Party layer with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, which will be free with a $50 order beginning January 28th.

Silver Glimmer stars punched with the star punch from the Merry Minis Punch Pack finishes off this card with just the right amount of bling!

Stampin_up_another_great_year_2

I stamped the inside phrase, also from Another Great Year, with Real Red. I added a 1/2" strip of Fresh Prints Designer Paper stack to the bottom of the Whisper White layer to help tie the outside to the inside.

That's all for now! You can order the "Another Great Year" stamp set and the Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack beginning January 3rd, but unti then you can check out the 25 new items added to the Clearance Rack today:

Stampin’ Up! Tealight Birthday Cake & Box!

Stampin’ Up! Tealight Birthday Cake & Box!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! We've definitely had a Merry Christmas around here! Jessica's bunch have gone to their other grandparents' and Kimberly's are visiting with the other grandparents' too. Alisa's and Troy are still here and the boy's and I are watching "It's A Wonderful Life"! Life is good!

Today I'm sharing another project we will be making next week at my Stampin' in the New Year Birthday Stamp-a-Stack, a Tealight Birthday Cake and a box to put it in!

Stampin_up_tealight_cake_1

The tealight is wrapped with a 5/8" x 5" strip of Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack paper (available when the Occasions Catalog starts on January 3rd!) with  1 3/4" Scalloped Circles for the base and the frosting. The box is created with the Envelope Punch Board, wheeled with the Birthday Candles Jumbo Wheel.

Stampin_up_tealight_cake_2

The "live happy" phrase is from a new Sale-a-bration set, "You're Lovely", available to choose for free with a $50 order starting on January 28th! After stamping with Real Red ink, I punched it with the new Banner punch, also available as a free Sale-a-bration item the same day! I layered a piece of Silver Glimmer paper behind the punched banner, then hand-trimmed another banner with my Paper Snips!

Stampin_up_tealight_cake_box_3

See how perfectly the cake fits in the box! yay!

That's all for now! You can shop for most of the items to make this lovely ensemble in my Online Store:
