Stampin’ Up! Lots of Lavender!

Posted on January 12, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We are having a SNOW DAY in Southern Illinois! You wouldn't think this 58 year-old grandma would be so excited, but it's 16 degrees with about an inch of ice and a skittering of snow on top! Not to mention the wind is blowing fiercely! Mark has the wood stove burning merrily; sitting on the couch under my heated throw makes me thankful for a snug and cozy home! A snow day also means my daughter gets to stay home and love on her babies!

Now that I'm feeling better, (I still feel like I'm coughing up a lung about every other morning) I've finally had some mojo to play with my Sale-a-bration freebies. I played with the Lots of Lavender and Heartfelt Blooms sets to create this:

I created the loopy bow by winding the Whisper White 1/4" Organza Ribbon around my hand about 5 times, then tied another piece of ribbon around the center of the loops tightly. after fanning out the loops I adhered the the card with a couple of glue dots.

The Lots of Lavendar stamp set is free with a $50 order from any current catalog. I stamped the bloom with Tuxedo Black Momento ink so I could both stamp it with the fill-in images from the set with Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz AND color the bow with a Light Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blends Marker. I cut the layers with the Lots of Labels Framelits dies.

I love the fonts used in the Heartfelt Blooms set. They stamp very crisply on Whisper White!

I used one of the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folders on the Wisteria Wonder layer, flipping the folder around after the first embossing so there would be both the positive and the negative impressions.

Inside I stamped and colored the lavender again, as well as another Heartfelt Blooms sentiment. I cut the white layer 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"to allow more of the embossed Wisteria Wonder layer to show.

As a final touch on the inside and outside lavender I added Clear Wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer.

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Delight!

Posted on May 2, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there stampers! Today's card features another new bundle in the upcoming 2017/2018 Stampin' Up! Catalog, Daisy Delight!

I created this card using Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes. They are a quick and easy way to get to the fun part of creating, the stamping! Notecards & Envelopes come in a package of 20 for $6.00. That's 20 pre-cut, pre-scored card bases AND matching envelopes! They are completely mail-able, and starting in the new catalog on June 1st will also come in Very Vanilla!

The Daisy Punch coordinates with Daisy Delight. Both will be bundled in the new catalog to save you 10%!

I punched out two Bermuda Bay daisies, and then added a Whisper White Vellum daisy on top. I finished it off with a new Clear Faceted Gem. Faceted Gems will come in Clear or Gold; you are seriously gonna love them and will need both colors!

I used a small piece of Lemon Lime Twist Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper, added a bit of new Bermuda Bay 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon, and stamped the greeting, also from Daisy Delight, with Bermuda Bay.

The inside greeting and tiny row of daisies are also from Daisy Delight. This was another card I created for a swap this month. Before I mailed them I stamped a partial daisy with Bermuda Bay ink three times before re-inking to give depth to the petals.

I'm so sorry to be torturing you with new products you can't order yet, but I'm just so excited about the new catalog and this is what I've been working on!

The Retiring List still has lots of goodies, many which are discounted. You can check those out in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Remember while shopping:

All online orders receive a Thank You card.

Every $25 online order (before tax & shipping) using the May Host Code: ERAKMFX7 will receive pre-cut card kits, one each of the Nailed It cards. (Pictures coming soon!)

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

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Basket Bunch Folded Paper Frame!

Posted on March 27, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another Basket Bunch card featuring the Folded Paper Frame!

When I first saw cards made with this fold, I was thought, "how did they cut that paper so perfectly?" BUT, after some "reverse engineering" with the sample I received I realized it is just a simple square of designer series paper with each corner folded into the center and then the points folded back to touch the sides! NO CUTTING AND SO EASY!

I embossed some Sweet Sugarplum In Color Envelope Paper with the Falling Petals Textured Folder, and added a piece of Whisper White Thick Baker's Twine tied in a bow. I tied a knot in the end of each end and then frayed it using a Paper-Piercing Tool.

I used a phrase from the Sale-a-bration set, So Very Much, on the inside. Only a few more days left before Sale-a-bration will be over!

Stampin’ Up! Thailand Achiever’s February Blog Hop!

Posted on February 21, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! This month our theme is the "Sale-a-Bration 2nd Release". Starting today, you can choose from three NEW Sale-a-bration items when you place your qualifying order! ($50 before shipping and tax in the U.S.)

You may just be starting the hop here at my blog – Carol Payne or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move from blog to blog so you see all the projects!

Because I focused on my Chicks & Chocolate Open House the past couple of weeks, I only received my pre-order of 2nd Release SAB products just before my event. Immediately after my event we had to go out-of-town for a couple of days, so I've had zero time to create with the new products.

I do, however, have this gorgeous card I plan to offer as part of my Online Rewards cards in March using the Avant Garden Sale-a-bration set:

Stampin_up_avant_garden_trio_carolpaynestamps2

I used the same color combo we used for the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop this month:

Night of Navy

Mint Macaron

Watermelon Wonder

I stamped the Watermelon Wonder blooms twice without re-inking (called "generational stamping") on Serene Scenery Designer Paper. I used the Window Shopping stamp set for the greeting stamped with Night of Navy ink. I added a piece of an 2015-2017 In Color Doily in Mint Macaron.

Stampin’ Up! Love You Lots Froggy!

Posted on February 1, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Still making thank-you cards! Here's another with Love You Lots Host using the froggy!

I cut the "thank" with a Hello You Thinlet, cutting of the "s" from the "thanks".

Although I could have used a Cucumber Crush marker or ink from the lid of a Cucumber Crush ink pad, I wanted to use Watercolor Pencils to color my froggy, combining Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, and Pacific Point.

The three colors scribbled and washed with Blender Pen:

After stamping with Archival Basic Gray, I scribbled Old Olive pencil first.

I added Bermuda Bay next.

I blended both together to see how I liked it.

I added Pacific Point, then blended again.

Finally happy with my colors (I am a beginning watercolorist) I added Clear Wink of Stella.

Inside I kept it simple to leave plenty of room for a personal note.

Use this link to order: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

NOTE: Watercolor Pencils will not be available to order again until February 13th!
