Stampin’ Up! Birthday Delivery Foursquare!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Delivery Foursquare!

Hey there! I'm playing with the Birthday Memories Suite; nailing down the projects for my Birthday Memories Card Class. I'm showing off the gorgeous prints from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper  with this card:

Stampin_up_foursquare_birthday_delivery_carolpaynestamps1

Each DSP square is mounted on the Daffodil Delight background, then mounted on Real Red before adhering to the Pacific Point card base.

I cut the birthday cake from Birthday Memories Designer Paper with a Birthday Friends framelit, then mounted it over a piece of Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched-Edge Ribbon tied in a simple knot.

Stampin_up_foursquare_birthday_delivery_carolpaynestamps3

I added a Real Red Enamel Shape to the greeting strip. The Enamel Shapes, which come in Brights, Regals, and Subtles, have carried over from the last catalog. I seldom used them last year, but already I've used them bunches. They coordinate perfectly with this suite!

Stampin_up_foursquare_birthday_delivery_carolpaynestamps2

Inside I stamped more Birthday Delivery images. This card is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" square. The layers are 4" x 4" and 3 3/4" x 3 3/4".

Stampin’ Up! Label Me Pretty & the New Catalog Starts at Noon TODAY!

Stampin’ Up! Label Me Pretty & the New Catalog Starts at Noon TODAY!

Hey there! Happy New Annual Catalog Day! Although not everyone would understand that this day really IS a day to celebrate, I'm sure YOU DO! If you didn't you probably wouldn't be reading my blog, would you?

Just so you aren't disappointed, we can start placing orders from the New Annual Catalog at Noon Mountain Time today. It takes Stampin' Up! a little bit to get all of the new codes turned on and make sure everything is ship-shape!

The card I want to share with you today was created by my dear friend and team member, Angela Black. Angela used my favorite (at least for now!) new In Color, Berry Burst, with the Label Me Pretty stamp set and Pretty Label Punch to create her swap for our May team meeting.

Stampin_up_label_me_pretty_carolpaynestamps1

Angela let the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper do most of the work! She added shimmer with her Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen and a couple of Glitter Enamel Dots!

Stampin_up_label_me_pretty_carolpaynestamps2

She kept the inside simple and elegant by only stamping in the corners of the white layer with one end of a Label Me Pretty image.

Stampin_up_label_me_pretty_carolpaynestamps3

If you haven't taken a peek at the new catalog yet, you can access it in my online store after 1 p.m. Central Time: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Remember while shopping:        

All online orders receive a Thank You card.

Every $25 online order (before tax & shipping) using the June Host Code that I will post tomorrow morning (I can't create the Host Code until later today)will receive pre-cut card kits, one each of the three Online Ordering Rewards cards I will post soon. I had planned to use the Daisy Delight Bundle for the June Online Ordering Rewards, but the punch is on backorder and will be for most of the month of June. I know you are probably already drooling over that bundle, so I won't make it worse by offering you card kits that you can't order the bundle to finish.

Be sure to check out the Clearance Rack while you are there!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Eastern Beauty Circle Flap Card!

Stampin’ Up! Eastern Beauty Circle Flap Card!

Hey there! Today I have a cool new fold I discovered by my Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop friend, BJ Peters! Click on BJ's name to watch the video she made to get the dimensions and tips to make this card!

I changed the color for my card from Tranquil Tide to Fresh Fig, but continued with the gold accents from the Gold Foil Sheets and Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers. After adding the large medallion sticker to the 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" square of Very Vanilla, I stamped in each outside "v" with Fresh Fig.

Stampin_up_eastern_beauty_fresh_fig_carolpaynestamps2

The circle on the flap is lots of gorgeous layers, starting with the gold heat-embossed Eastern Beauty greeting and ending with another Eastern Gold Vinyl Sticker on a Fresh Fig circle cut with a Layering Circles Framelit.

Stampin_up_eastern_beauty_fresh_fig_carolpaynestamps4

When the flap is lifted, it reveals another Eastern Beauty sentiment, stamped with Fresh Fig ink!

Stampin_up_eastern_beauty_fresh_fig_carolpaynestamps3

I love how this card opens in a tri-fold way to reveal more Eastern Palace images and Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers!

Stampin_up_eastern_beauty_fresh_fig_carolpaynestamps5

Available only through the end of May, all of the components of the bundles will be in the new catalog, just not bundled with freebies added.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there! After thinking of all the swaps I haven't shared yet, I'm having another swap day! My last day of babysitting was last week, so today I feel like I'm officially on vacation! My teacher-daughter's last day of school is today, so her nurse-hubby is in charge of Liam and Darcy today. Don't mistake me, though, I LOVE those little people that call me "Mamie". I'm committed to loving them, teaching and training them for as long as they need me. While I'm excited to have a couple of months to relax, work on some home projects, and STAMP,  I also look forward to the middle of August when I will be back to taking care of them again!

All of these cards either are or have been on my display board in the past few weeks and most of them were created with some supplies that are on the Retiring List. (hint: you only have 9 more days until the Retiring List expires)

First Carol Slack used Layering Circles and Ovals Framelits, Stitched Shapes framelits, and  Retiring Basket Bunch stamps and Basket Builder Framelits dies. The "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment is from the also-retiring Oh So Succulent stamp set.

Stampin_up_basket_bunch_carolpaynestamps

Next, a swap by Susie Wood using the retiring Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper with the not retiring Window Shopping stamps and Window Box Thinlets.

Stampin_up_festive_birthday_candles_carolpaynestamps

I'm not sure who created this cute Nemo-inspired card, but my Marion monthly stamp group loved it! We used retiring  Festive Flower and Elegant Butterfly punches to create "Nemo".

Stampin_up_festive_flower_nemo_carolpaynestamps

Jenna Roby used the retiring Woodgrain folder to create the background for these adorable Fox Builder Punch created raccoons! Birthday Banners provides the bannered-greeting!

Stampin_up_fox_builder_racoons_carolpaynestamps

An anonymous creator used the soon-retiring Owl Builder Punch to create this congratulatory owl!

Stampin_up_owl_builder_grad_carolpaynestamps

Finally,  Ruth Anne Lilley used circle punches, Sweet & Sassy Framelits, and retiring Sending Love Designer Series Paper for her Minnie Mouse!

Some of these are swaps I have and some are swaps I took pictures of at OnStage, so some I don't have any creator's names.

This card by Sandy Carlson features By the Shore Designer Paper that IS retiring, but the Seaside Shore stamp set is NOT.

Cathy Miller created a fun z-fold card with the No Bones About It set. The Boho Chic Textured Impressions folder she used on the Soft Sky layer  and Cucumber Crush Thick Baker's Twind ARE retiring.

Stampin’ Up! My Hero for My Brother!

Stampin’ Up! My Hero for My Brother!

Hey there! My big brother, Don, turned 76. He was an 18 year-old high school senior the day I arrived. He went to football practice and told the guys he had a new baby sister. They didn't believe him!

My mom was sick a lot, passing away when I was almost 11. My brother and his wife took care of me, sometimes several weeks at a time, during my mom's final battle with lung/brain cancer. He helped me continue in school, giving me support when I was lonely. My big brother is truly my hero.

I CASED a  birthday card by Julie Pitta, changing and adding a few things of my own:

Stampin_up_my_hero_carolpaynestamps1

I used the My Hero Ronald McDonald House Charities set, which is retiring, and Best Badge Punch.

I punched a Crumb Cake Best Badge, cutting in half before adhering. I stamped a Dapper Denim "#1" on Crumb Cake, punched with the 1/2" Circle, and adhering with a dimensional. I added snippets of  5/8" Burlap Ribbon and coming-soon-in-the-new-catalog 1/4" Copper Trim!

Stampin_up_my_hero_carolpaynestamps2

Using the Timeless Textures cross-hatch image, I stamped-off Sahara Sand on both Real Red and Dapper Denim strips, then stamped CELEBRATE with Real Red on the Real Red strip and Dapper Denim on the Dapper Denim strip.

Stampin_up_my_hero_carolpaynestamps5

Inside I stamped Stylized Birthday with Dapper Denim and more stamped-off CELEBRATE's.
