Stampin’Up! Weekly Deals and I’m Home!

Posted on February 4, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been home for a couple of days from Orlando but this is my first chance to blog. After I blogged the Weekly Deals last week, I finished my swaps, anticipating heading out to Orlando for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference on Wednesday, January 28. It was not to be. I came down with the a tummy bug during the night and ran a fever most of Wednesday, so we rescheduled our flight for Thursday morning. We made it just in time to eat the lunch Stampin' Up! provides, and I participated in an organized swaps before I even cleaned my plate. (It actually was several days before I had enough appetite to even think about eating most of a meal.)

I was exhausted pretty much the entire time we were there, but I'm still glad I went. I had a chance to see several of my friends from across the country and even got to chat a couple of times with my friend Constanze Wirtz from the Netherlands. We met on the Stampin' Up! cruise last year. That's just one of the things I love about Stampin' Up!; the chance to travel and make new friends from across the country and around the world!

The next day I swapped with these girls, my Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop sisters!

l to r: Judy Garza, Patty Chenail, me, Janet Wakeland, Laura Milligan, Lee Conrey, Jodi Reinert. Hamming it up in the front is BJ Peters!

Thursday night Stampin' Up! hosted the Manager's Reception at Disney's Fantasmic! It is a nighttime show with water and lights, so I really couldn't get a decent picture, but it was fun. Thank you, Stampin' Up!, for always making us feel appreciated!

No Stampin' Up! event is without yummy treats! My downline, Linda Reaney, and I hammed it up with some of the Mickey-themed desserts Stampin' Up! provided:

Lemon Mickey tarts-

Chocolate brownie Mickey-head-on-a-stick-

Truth: I actually only ate the two little push-up cheesecakes on my plate as they were the only gluten-free item offered, but they were just enough and delicious!

For my local stamping friends, YES, the Birthday Bash Stamp-a-Stack for this Saturday IS A GO. This will be my only in-home event this month as my newest grandbaby is scheduled to arrive by c-section this coming Monday, February 9th. I will be helping Kimberly with the new baby, as well as big brother Liam, most of the rest of the month, so my posts will continue to be sporadic until things calm down at the beginning of March.

Today I'm headed to my hometown of Decatur, IL, to check up on my "big brother", Don. Don has had some pretty major health bumps in the road the past couple of months, and so Mark and I are taking the day to drive up to see him for a bit. It's about a 3 hour drive, so I'm taking some paper to cut to keep preparing for my Saturday class. Fortunately. I like to cut paper! lol!

Here are the new Weekly Deals, a day late, but great nonetheless. Go to my online store to order: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Orlando Leadership Bound!

Posted on January 29, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I know I've been quiet for a few days, because I've been preparing my swaps for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference in Orlando Florida. We were scheduled to fly down yesterday afternoon, but I cam down with a tummy bug yesterday and we had to reschedule our flight. We return on Sunday. I'm looking forward to spending a few days in a warmer climate. Tonight we get to go to Disney for a few hours for Manager's Reception! yay!

I hope to get to post some new ideas while I'm there, but if not, you can be sure I will have LOTS to share after I get home!

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Crazy About You!

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm just hanging out with Oakley this morning! He is a fun little guy!

I've been prepping the project packets for my online class in little bits of time I've managed to carve out in between Lando and Oakly time.

When you place your online order with me of at least $35, two of the projects you will receive in your January packet is this card using the Crazy About You stamp set. You can view the full supply list for this card and get the Hostess Code to use when you place your order when you click HERE.

Here are the Make n' Takes from Founder's Circle year. We were given the Crazy About You set and the coordinating Hello You Thinlet Dies to make these cute little tags and cards with Flowerpot Designer Paper:

We embellished a Polka Dot Tag a Bag Gift Bag with a Tea Lace Doily, Flower Pot DSP, "hello" from the Hello You Thinlets, a phrase from Crazy About You, and a Clothespin we covered with a bit of Flowerpot paper:

After cutting out the "thanks" with the Hello You Thinlet die, we colored a background of Whisper White with Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Pumpkin Pie Blendabilites, then used the "negative space" cut out by the die to let the colors show through:

That's all for now. Don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack, New Arrivals, and the Weekly Deals while you are shopping, and be sure to choose a free Sale-a-bration item when your shopping cart total reaches $50 before tax & shipping.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on January 18, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there. I've spent the past week cuddling the most adorable baby boy, Lando, and chasing and cuddling his big brother, Oakley! I'm so thankful and blessed! Right now I'm home for the long weekend, giving the little family some together time, but I will be going back on Monday evening to help out the rest of the week.

Since it's Sunday, it's time to share some swaps:

First, Laura Milligan used the largest phrase image from the Hello Life set, adding banners, white baker's twine, and a bit of gold sequin trim to give it a balloon look!

Next, Emily Tull combined Painted Petals Designer Paper with the single-image stamp Love is Kindess. She added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the blooms and "tied" a bit of Linen Thread around the newspaper wrapper.

Third, Mary Ann Sedlacek chose one of the Cheerful Critters for her swap. She punched the top of the tag with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, added punched banners, and tied the ribbon from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack with a bit of Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker's Twine.

Finally, Jan Rodrian chose the Sale-a-bration set, Lotus Blossom, to create her swap. The Lotus Blossom set is photopolymer only, and is actually a THREE-STEP stamp set!

That's all for now. You can find all the supplies to create your version of any of today's samples in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

While you are there, be sure to check out the New Arrivals, Clearance Rack, and the Weekly Deals!

All online orders of any amount will receive a Thank-you Packet from me., including a project and instructions!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop January Edition: Sale-a-bration is Here!

Posted on January 14, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! TODAY is the first 2015 Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Sale-a-bration!

If you're already on the hop, you've probably just arrived from Stella MacKay's blog,

Stellar Stamps. Stella is a creatively talented sister-in-stamps. I love her ideas each month!

Besides Christmas, Sale-a-bration is my favorite time of the stamping year! I LOVE that my stampers get to choose a FREE SAB item from the Sale-a-bration brochure with every $50 order!

My project for this month features both an Occasions Catalog and a SAB set:

I used the Occasions Catalog Hey Valentine, choosing a Gorgeous Grunge stamp with Marine Mist ink for the "bubbles". My card layers are cut using Circle Collection Framelits Dies and the white heat-embossed greeting is cut with the Circle Card Thinlets Dies banner.

I added a Red Glimmer heart punched with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (ON SALE in this week's Weekly Deals! yay!)

On the back I punched holes to insert the sucker stick with the 1/4" Handheld Punch, and stamped "you're the best!" from SAB set Simply Wonderful with Memento Tuxedo Black.

Before I decided on the Gorgeous Grunge bubbles stamp, I tried the Shaving Cream Technique on Whisper White cardstock, then stamped the fishy image with Tuxedo Black.

I can't decide which one I like the best, but stamping with Gorgeous Grunge is definitely quicker and less messy than the Shaving Cream Technique!

That's all for now. Check out the supply list below, then hop over to Judy Garza's blog HERE. Clicking on one of the supply list images will take you to my Online Store:
