Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Awesomely Artistic on Sunday Night!

Posted on August 2, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there. This is a late post, but my computer is sick (again!) I'm on a laptop that's super-duper slow. It also needed about 129 updates, which ended up TAKING. ALL. DAY.

This evening I have a few cards from the mail-in swap I participate in every month, all using the Awesomely Artistic set!

First, Ann Betty stamped the dragonfly and flowers from Awesomely Artistic on Very Vanilla before embossing with the Brick Wall folder and cutting with a Tags & Labels Framelit. She stamped the same flowers on the Sahara Sand, then colored with a Pear Pizzazz marker.

Next, Jackie Ordway stamped the "texture" stamp down the left side to give a fabric look. The "thanks" is from the Another Thank You set.

Finally, Laura Milligan used Bermuda Bay, Cucumber Crush, and Memento Tuxedo Black for her creation. Little snippets of White Organza and Bermuda Bay Sequins. OH. MY.

That's all for now. I WILL be posting again on Monday, so PLEASE COME BACK!

Here's one supply list for all three cards. You can order everything from my online store: carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! New Punch Sneak Peek!

Posted on August 1, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! One of my favorite things at convention is getting to see all of the stamping presentations. Allison Okamitsu showed this card and matching bag. She used a new punch, the Festive Flower Builder Punch, which will be available in the Holiday Catalog on September 1st!

Allison started with a yummy color combo for September: Tip Top Taupe, Hello Honey, and Early Espresso!

Then she showed us how she made this card and bag, both using the new Festive Flower Builder Punch. Oh my goodness, soooo cute!

She used the Writing Notes Background stamp on the card front, and added a "thanks" banner from the Endless Thanks set.

She stamped the Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bag with the great big polka-dot stamp in the Stamp a Bag set. The "GOODIES" word is also from Stamp a Bag, and she cut the Hello Honey 5/8" Striped Cotton Ribbon in half before she tied it in a bow and added it with one of our small-but-not-mini clothespins.

That's all for now. Tomorrow I will be back with Sunday Swap Day, so be sure to come on by!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Blooms For You!

Posted on May 25, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Monday again, but this is the last Monday in May, isn't it? That means next Monday it will be JUNE and the NEW CATALOG starts on June 2nd! yay! Only a week and day left to wait!

Today I am sharing with you the next-to-last card in the Painted Blooms series:

Every card created from this one sheet of 12 x 12 designer paper has a different look.The bold yet feminine font of the "hello" from the For You stamp set, which is retiring on June 2nd, highlights the Blackberry Bliss color perfectly in the background paper.

I used one of the two phrases from Million & One for the inside sentiment. This set is also retiring, so if you want it you need to order it TODAY. After May 25 (today) all of the stamps will become while supplies last too.

I'm really going to miss this pack of paper and all of the stamps I've been using with them.

Stampin’ Up! Fabulous Four It’s Your Day and New Weekly Deals!

Posted on May 13, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had zero internet connection yesterday while I was at Kimberly's taking care of Liam and Darcy, so I was "unplugged". You know, sometimes it's not a bad thing to be forced away from online contact. I got a lot of other things done, including stamping with Liam (he loved sponging my pre-embossed butterflies).

This morning I reviewed my posts from the past few weeks and discovered I had not shown you the fourth card in the Fabulous Four set all by itself:

I really like this layout with the punched circles. It's a fun way to show several prints from the same package of designer paper. I LOVE the Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers too. You can punch a base shape that matches the larger stickers with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack to add color underneath!

Inside I used the "Congratulations" from Sassy Salutations.

Here's the supply list for this card. You can order everything to make this card and the rest of the set in my online store:

Stampin’ Up! Mother’s Love!

Posted on May 10, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a quick post this morning. There are about 25 people coming to my house today for Mother's Day dinner (don't worry, I'm not doing ALL of that cooking, we are getting some KFC, and using disposable plates, cups, etc)

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day and share this card with you. I belong to a Facebook group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that shares card ideas. Each month I share a card idea and then I can share any of the other ideas that month with you!

Even though this card was created by a UK demo, the sentiment still rings true:

That's all for now! Hope all of you mother's have a lovely day!

Until tomorrow, which will be Sunday Swap Day on Monday, have a Stampingrox! day!
