Hey there! Hope you enjoyed the hop yesterday! If you haven't taken the May Edition of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: I Do!, click HERE to start at my blog, then hop all the way through 11 more blogs to see the imaginative wedding-themed creations we have for you!

Today I decided to share a quick and simple card using the Geometrical stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. This super-duper catalog expires in just a few short weeks, but thankfully this stamp set is carrying over, so you will still be able to order it at least until the end of May 2015!

Stampin’ Up! Sweetie Pies & Flower Shop!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Busy day today around here! LIam is here for awhile until his daddy picks him up after he is done at school today, so things are really hopping! I'm working diligently on my packing and prepping everything I need for the Stampin' Up! Western Caribbean Cruise. We leave for Ft Lauderdale Friday afternoon. Yikes!

I love the card I have to share with you today, but I'm also a bit sad because the photopolymer set I used for the focal point, Sweetie Pies, is out-of-stock already! ugh! The new Annual Catalog has new photopolymer sets in it that will not sell out because Stampin' Up! will be manufacturing their own photopolymers from now on! yay!

Here's the card:

Stampin_up_sweetie_pies_1 - Copy

I've been using a lot of my retiring designer paper, getting ready for all the beautiful new patterns that are in the New Annual Catalog, so this card uses three of the designs from the Gingham Garden Designer Series paper. I also used the retiring Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder on the Basic Black strip across the center of the card. The flowers are stamped with the Flower Shop stamp set and punched with the Pansey Punch, which are NOT retiring, but the Bundle that saves you 15% off the combination of the stamp set and punch IS retiring. I will include the images for those in my supply list below so you can go right to my Online Store to order before the bundle sells out! The Wish Big greeting is from Delightful Dozen, which is also carrying over to the new catalog.

Stampin_up_sweetie_pies_2 - Copy

Inside and on the envelope I continued the Flower Shop theme, stamping with Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, and Daffodil Delight to match the Gingham Garden paper. The inside sentiment is from Really Good Greetings with is NOT retiring.

That's all for now. If you have been thinking about ordering any of the retiring stamp sets I would advise you GET THEM NOW before they are gone. Go to my webstore HERE or click on any of the pictures in the supply list below to start your order.

BTW! Stampin' Up! also just re-stocked the Clearance Rack with new discounted items from the last Holiday Catalog, so there's lots new there too!

AND all orders of $25 or more receive Bluesox Tokens from me, good toward free stuff from any Stampin' Up! catalog!

 

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's a beautiful Sunday morning! I get to go to church today! yay! I will be missing church for the next two Sundays because I will be on (and coming home from) the Stampin' Up! cruise, so I'm especially glad for today!

I hope to be able to schedule posts for while I'm gone, so keep checking back! We leave on Friday!

Today I have  three fun swaps to share! The first one is perfect for Mother's Day, which will be coming up in just TWO Sundays, can you belive it?

Mary waring 1

Mary Waring created her card with Gingham Garden Designer Paper for the flower pot base, Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape to seal the sides of the pot, and Delicate Details Lace tape for the flower pot rim embellishment. (ALL three of these products are on the Retiring Accessories List but ARE still available) You can access the lists by clicking on the links:

The pull-up portion has Flower Shop and Petite Petals flowers, both punched with the coordinating punches, and pearls for the centers. I love this type of card! I haven't made one in awhile!

Deb McCahan used a tutuorial she found on Splitcoaststampers to help her create this unusual pop-out card with Happy Watercolor, Secret Garden(retiring and now only available in Clear Mount), and Mixed Bunch:

Deb McCahan1

Opening . . . then open just a liiiiitle more . .

Deb McCahan 2

Pop! Deb used the "pedestal pop up" tutorial in case you want to go look for it!

Deb McCahan 3

Finally for today, an adorable punched puppy card by Nancy Hall!

Nancy hall 1

Nancy used the Heart Framelit Dies for the puppy's face and ears, then used the Full Heart Punch (retiring), Small Heart Punch (retiring), and circle punches for his face and tongue.

Nancy hall 2

Inside she stamped the numbers image from Bring on the Cake, (also retiring and already SOLD OUT), highlighting the age number with a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker!

That's all for now. I need to get my Sunday dinner in the oven before I'm off to church! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Washi Tape is Wonderful!

Stampin’ Up! Washi Tape is Wonderful!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Typepad (my blogging platform) was down last night, so I was unable to get my blog post up before I went to bed. I have a bunch of fun cards for you today using washi tape, so let's get started!

My first sample for you I CASED from Rachel Tessman of Canada. Retro Fresh Washi tape was laid on the card front in a radiating pattern that gives it an all-over look of designer paper. Washi tape is a low-tack tape, so if you haven't pressed it down onto the cardstock you can lift and re-position a little without tearing the paper. The little stamped stars are from the Sale-a-bration Banner Blast set in Tangerine Tango, So Saffron, and Coastal Cabana ink. The greeting is from You're Amazing, and rhinestones were added for a little sparkle.

Stampin_up_retro_fresh_youre_amazing_banner_blast_1 - Copy

The inside is quick and easy too, using a greeting from Delightful Dozen:

Stampin_up_retro_fresh_delightful_dozen_banner_blast - Copy

I stepped-up this next card for a workshop Make-n-take by adding a card base of Tangerine Tango and a few gold sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim. You can use Glue Dots or Tombow Glue to attach the sequins.

Stampin_up_retro_fresh_youre_amazing_1 - Copy

Stampers at the workshop will have their choice from the Delightful Dozen greeting or this one from "Yippee-Skippee!" They will also line their envelope with a bit of Retro Fresh Designer Paper and an Envelope Liner Framelit.

Stampin_up_retro_fresh_yippee-skippee - Copy

For a more masculine look, I used the same layout but switched to Epic Day This and That Washi Tape and a greeting from Countless Sayings 2 photopolymer. Card base is Basic Gray and inks are Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, and Crumb Cake.

Stampin_up_epic_day_countless_sayings_2

Delightful Dozen on the inside again and I added some more washi tape to keep the continuity going:

Stampin_up_epic_day_delightful_dozen

I love that we have more than a couple of washi tapes to choose from! Three rolls in each package with 5 yards per roll for only $4.95!

I used Gingham Garden Washi tape for my feminine sample. Daffodil Delight card base, then the little flower from the Banner Blast stamp set stamped in Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Island Indigo.

Stampin_up_gingham_garden_youre_amazing

Up close you can see the detail of the scalloped paper-piercing. I used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack as my guide. Just a little bit of piercing adds such a fun detail! Greeting from You're Amazing again.

Stampin_up_gingham_garden_youre_amazing_2 - Copy

Inside is another greeting from the You're Amazing stamp set.

Stampin_up_gingham_garden_youre_amazing_3 - Copy

As you can see from these samples, it doesn't require a lot of supplies to create multiple looks with one layout. A limited supply challenge can be fun!

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

Stampin_up_six_sided_sampler_1

I CASED a card by Annette Elliott. Of course, I made a few changes, but it's basically the same colors, layout, and stamps. It was a super fun card for the party tonight!

Stampin_up_six_sided_sampler_2

I stamped more hexagons on the inside of the card to pull the outside and the inside together. We even decorated the inside of the envelope by cutting designer paper with the Envelope Liner Framelit Die. The sentiment on the inside is from a Dozen Thoughts.

Stampin’ Up! Washi Tape Butterfly Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Washi Tape Butterfly Birthday!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Yesterday was a CRAZY day at my house! Just being away from my home for two weeks with three males still living there is insanity itself, so of course I've been de-cluttering and doing MASSIVE LOADS of laundry! In addition, I think I had almost all my stamping supplies pulled out at one time or another yesterday! I'm doing some stamp room re-organization along with getting ready for my Holiday Catalog Open House on Saturday, so it was a mess! But you know you generally have to make a mess to change and reorganize, so it's coming along!

Tonight I have a Stamp Camp for Kim Norris. Kim & I have been anticipating her party for a few months while we waited for Kim's new kitchen to be completed and some family events (Kim's & mine!) to progress. Kim has been watching my blog and Facebook page, picking out the projects she wants to make.

Today's card is an adaptation of the card I posted HERE from the Fiji sample boards:


Gingham Garden Washi Butterfly 1

I combined Gingham Garden Washi Tape with the Beautiful Butterflies Die. The Polaroid-look is very trendy right now, so I created the photo square withthe new Square Framelits!. The greeting is from Itty Bitty Banners cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits.


Gingham Washi Butterfly 2
The inside greeting is from Yippee Skippee. The smaller Gingham Garden Washi Tape butterfly was also cut with the same Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. The washi tape makes it quick and easy!

Well, I have one more card left to create for tonight, so I need to get going!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
