Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Birthdays are Great!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Birthdays are Great!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had an open Saturday (something that RARELY happens for me) so I was able to stamp for fun! I went with a group of my stampers to Gigi's Retreat in Dix IL! I highy recommend it. Tonya really spoils you with good food, snacks, tons of paper crafting supplies at your fingertips, and a gorgeous place to craft!

We are off to Effingham to day for Cohen's baptism. He and his cousin, Justus, are being baptised by their Hollis grandpa, so Mark & I are going up for the service.

Today I have a few more swaps to share before some of the products completely retire:

Stampin_up_another_great_year_1
Kathy Morgan used Another Great Year (not retiring!) with Eastern Elegance Designer Paper (retiring) and Label Collection Framelit to create this fun easel card.

Stampin_up_another_great_year_2

Gold Foil Vellum and Baked Brown Sugar ink make this card happy!

Brenda Hukriede used Retro Fresh Designer Paper, Bring on the Cake stamps (retiring) and the Banner Punch:

Stampin_up_bring_on_the_cake_1

Brenda had a surprise inside:

Bring_on_the_cake_2

Your own personal cake! So fun!

Lastly, Cindy Ewertz used Epic Day  Paper and Create a Cupcake stamps (sold out in clear but still available in wood) to create  a shaker card:

Stampin_up_perfect_pennants_1

Perfect Pennants, Gold Sequin Trim, and the Fringe Scissors to make easy confetti:

Stampin_up_perfect_pennants_2

Bring on the Cake (retired and completely sold out, sorry!) for the Happy Birthday:

Stampin_up_perfect_pennants_3

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

Here's the supply lists. You can go HERE to shop for your stamp-y needs!

Hey there! Welcome to the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop March Edition: Hoppity Hop Hop! If you are already on the hop you just arrived from Stella MacKay's blog, StellarStamps where you saw Stella's gorgeous Easter Bunny Basket Card! Love it!

My creation for you today is a little "suite" of two coordinating 3-D items that I absolutely love:

Stampin_up_stampers_dozen_blog_hop_5 - Copy

My suite consists of a Coastal Cabana Easter Basket and a sponge-daubered Mini Muslin treat bag with a double-gift tag!

Stampin_up_stampers_dozen_blog_hop_1 - Copy

The basket is super-easy to make with just a 4" x 5" piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock and one more 1/2" x 4" itty-bitty strip for the handle. I inked just the "hello" from the "hello baby" stamp in Teeny Tiny Wishes, then punched it out with one of the Little Labels Punch Pack labels. I tied a bit of Linen Thread in a bow, then glue-dotted it to the basket.

Stampin_up_stampers _dozen_blog_hop_3 - Copy

I used acrylic paint and Sponge Daubers to stamp the polka-dots on the Mini Muslin Bag for a spring-y, easter-y look! I had just a few colors of acrylic paint in my stash, and no pink, so I added a drop of Primrose Petals to white and stirred it with a toothpick before stamping on the bag. The yellow paint was also a little bit too dark, so I added a bit of white paint to it to tone it down.

Stampin_up_stampers_dozen_blog_hop_2 - Copy

I used the bunny from the "Baby, We've Grown" stamp set, stamped on a scrap of Watercolor Paper, watercolored with an Aquapainter and inkpad lid ink, and cut out with the smallest Oval Collection Framelit Die. I mounted it on a Scalloped Tag Topper Punched piece of Afternoon Tea Designer Paper.

Stampin_up_stampers_dozen_blog_hop_4 - Copy

I stamped a Very Vanilla Scalloped Tag Topper Tag with the string of hearts from the Make Note This and That Rotary Stamp and Coastal Cabana ink. The greeting is from Delightful Dozen. I added a strip of Coastal Cabana cut with the Fringe Scissors. The "eggs" hiding in the grass are actually punched with another of the Little Labels Punch Pack punches and then cut in half.

Stampin’ Up! Leadership Spiral Flower Die, Fringe Scissors, and More!

Stampin’ Up! Leadership Spiral Flower Die, Fringe Scissors, and More!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Last day of Leadership was today. Sad. But Leadership being over means I will be on my way home on Sunday and start getting ready to share all I have learned with my stampers and my downline! Sweet! I had a fabulous time at Leadership, it's true, but now it's time to go home and put all these great new ideas into practice! I can hardly wait! yay!

Here's more of the pictures I wanted to share with you last night but the hotel internet wouldn't let me upload:

Stampin_up_spiral_flower_die

The Demonstrator Resource Center, in addition to the Blendabilities demonstration, also had a girl making tons of these adorable flowers with the Spiral Flower Die. So cute! Depending on how tightly you roll them, how much you let them relax after rolling, and where you adhere them, you can make an endless variety of shapes and sizes of flowers! The one on the right is a sucker treat. You just cut the flower with the die, but then instead of rolling tightly and adhering you just punch a hole in the base of the spiral and insert a sucker on a stick! Key-utte! These would make fun valentine or birthday party favors!

Here's another treat flower, only this time the flower has been adhered together with Secret Garden Framelit-cut leaves and a Pearl Basic Jewel added! The flower and the sentiment from Love You to the Moon have been added to the lollipop package with Glue Dots.

Stampin_up_spiral_flower_die_2

 

Stampin_up_spiral_flower_die_2 More possibilities with the Spiral Flower Die.

Stampin_up_spiral_flower_die_3

Sponged edges with Crisp Cantaloupe ink and the die will cut felt, (and fabric too!).

Stampin_up_spiral_flower_die_6

Gold glittered edges . . .

Stampin_up_spiral_flower_die_1

A flowery heart wreath!

Stampin_up_fringe_scissors_flowers

Another style of flower you can create with a new Occasions Catalog product, the Fringe Scissors! At $9.95, these 5-bladed scissors are a great value!

Stampin_up_people_like_you_emboss_resist

Here's a couple of swaps I was able to take pictures of! The People Like You stamp has been clear embossed on Very Vanilla which had already been stamped with the En Francais background. After clear embossing, the creator of this swap (I just took a picture of this one, I don't have the original to be able to give you the creator's name!) then sponged or brayered the Pear Pizzazz and then Marina Mist (I think) ink over the image. Embossed images will resist the ink, allowing you to wipe away the excess ink with a tissue. The technique is called "emboss resist"!  LOVE it!

Stampin_up_petite_petals_beautifully_baroque

Finally, the creator of this swap achieved a lovely vintage look with the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Folder, Pink Pirouette and Very Vanilla cardstock, Victoria Crochet Trim, Petite Petals stamp and Petite Petal punch, Ovals Collection Framelits, Pearls Basic Jewels,******* greeting, and Crumb Cake sponging!

Well, I've got to close for now and go get packed! Our flight takes off at 2:05 tomorrow afternoon!
