Stampin’ Up! More Than Words!

Posted on March 13, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a sweet little card created with the Sale-a-bration Corrdination set, More Than Words, and the Occasions Catalog set, Needle & Thread! I combined More Than Words, the Needle & Thread Bundle, Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper, Story Label Punch, and the Doily Builder Thinlits to create this:

I love this soft color combo of Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Whisper White, and Silver Foil! I embossed the white layer behind the doily with the Tufted Dynamic folder to add to the soft look.

I cut a butterfly with a Needlpoint Elements die from Vellum and then colored with Night of Navy Light & Dark Stampin' Blends.

The inside sentiment is from the Sale-a-bration freebie, Part of My Store, accented with Needle & Thread butterflies.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, a Mix!

Posted on March 10, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is Sunday Swap Day, the day I share great inspiration from swaps I receive monthly! Today I have a fun mix of cards, starting with the Sale-a-bration's So Hoppy Together!

Linda Pagel created a fun slider card with So Hoppy Together and Picture Perfect Birthday! So Hoppy Together is a limited-edition set that you can choose as your free item when you place a $50 order in my online store, but only until March 31st!

When you pull the ribbon, the tag slides out and reveals another greeting behind the frog! "Happy Birthday" is from the Perennial Birthday set.

Next, Lisa Marie Smith used the Occasions catalog set, Flowering Desert, dragging her inkpads over the background for an easy "desert-ish" look!

Cindy Ewertz also used Flowering Desert, adding a bit of Gold Metallic Thread for some shine!

All of the sentiments Cindy used are part of the Flowering Desert set!

Finally, Lori Mueller heat-embossed a sentiment from Strong & Beautiful on a Night of Navy circle to really "pop" against the strips of Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper!

Projects supply list – for easy ordering just click the links below:

So Hoppy Together Cling Stamp Set [149725] $0.00	Picture Perfect Birthday Photopolymer Stamp Set [145519] $17.00	Perennial Birthday Clear-Mount Stamp Set [145760] $22.00
Flowering Desert Photopolymer Stamp Set [148700] $16.00	Strong & Beautiful Cling Stamp Set [148732] $25.00	Happiness Blooms 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148795] $11.00

Stampin’ Up! No Cards to Share Today!

Posted on March 9, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! You read the title right, no card today, but I want to share with you a new blogging schedule starting today. Honestly, I've realized I need to be a more gentle on myself. For the past several years I've held myself to a rigid schedule of blogging every day. With the exception of Sunday Swap Days I only share my original work. Original creations will continue, just the schedule of blogging is changing.

Creating every day, then photographing, editing, watermarking, writing a tutorial, and the blog post, can be exhausting. Some nights I've been falling asleep while my fingers are typing! God has been whispering in my heart that I needed to make some changes, but I didn't know what to change. I've been praying for guidance and He answered. I don't ever want to resist the Lord's direction.

I'm still doing workshops for my stamping friends and classes in my home. None of that will change, only my blogging schedule.

For now, I will share my creations on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and continue Sunday Swap Days. I don't know how long I will continue this schedule, but rest assured I am not quitting paper crafting!

I love to stamp and I love my job as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I love my customers (stamping friends, really!) and I love the girls on my team, the Yes Mam! Stampers.

I love you, my blog readers. I hope you will understand why I need to make this change and will check back with me regularly. I appreciate your willingness to come by my little piece of the blogging world to see what I have to share.

Any time you have a question or need help with something, please don't hesitate to comment here, send me an email, or text.

I appreciate your business that helps keep me financially solvent so I can continue to create with new and fun Stampin' Up! products. The new Annual Catalog starts June 1st. I'm going with several of my team to Charlotte, NC in April for a fun Sneak Peek weekend hosted by Stampin' Up!

This blog post has ended up much longer than I intended, but I hope I've shared a little bit of my heart with you.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Cheer!

Posted on March 7, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I finally got a chance to play with the Birthday Cheer Bundle yesterday! I love everything about this bundle of stamps and edgelit dies, from the great mixed fonts of the sentiments to the cupcakes! Who doesn't love cupcakes?

I paired the cut-out cupcakes with How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper, Celebrate You Thinlits, and Basic Black for a really striking card!

I also used my favorite easel fun fold!

I added Twinkle Adhesive-backed sequins for instant shine!

After cutting the cupcakes with a Detailed Birthday Edgelits Die, I layered over the How Sweet It Is Designer Paper.

I layered four "YOU's" together with liquid glue before adding to the bottom inside of the card with slivers of Stampin' Dimensionals. This creates the easel "stop".

I used Tuxedo Black and Melon Mambo to stamp the inside and the envelope.

Stampin’ Up! I Found My Dress!

Posted on March 6, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I don't have a new creation to post today, but I do have some good news! Some of you may not know, but my oldest son is getting married for the first time later this month. I have three daughters and three sons; all three daughters have been married for several years, but none of my sons have ever been married. Last year my oldest son, Troy, started dating a lovely girl named Grace, and they are getting married on March 23rd! Troy & Grace introduced my second son, Logan, to Grace's friend, Faith, and now Logan & Faith are getting married August 3rd! That just leaves my youngest Ben, but he still has time!

I've had three turns being the mother-of-the-bride, so I've been thinking this mother-of-the-groom gig was pretty easy, until the subject of my dress for the wedding came up. Like a lot of moms, I wanted to lose some weight before shopping, so it was this week before I felt confident enough to get into a dressing room. My oldest daughter, Jessica, went with me to advise and give a honest opinion.

Did you know that if you want to get a mother's dress from a bridal shop that it takes 3-4 months to arrive? I guess I bought my dresses for the girl's weddings off-the-rack at a department store, so I had NO idea!

I also discovered that most shops don't carry any "mother-of" dresses, because most gals think they are too "old lady" and are too expensive (for Southern Illinois, anyway) After checking with a couple of local shops and with less than 3 weeks before the wedding, it was "back to the rack" for me!

We headed to Dillard's, which was not too far away, and found "the dress" right away! I also found shoes and jewelry to go with it, so with just a little bit of length alteration, I'll be set! I'm so excited! I feel a little bit like a princess in this dress! I will share it with you after the wedding, so stay tuned for the week of March 25th!

We had set aside today to drive over an hour away to shop, but we decided on a whim to check out those bridal shops last night, so today is a free day to stamp! yay!

I'll be back tomorrow with a new card and instructions to share!
