Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's a beautiful Sunday morning! I get to go to church today! yay! I will be missing church for the next two Sundays because I will be on (and coming home from) the Stampin' Up! cruise, so I'm especially glad for today!

I hope to be able to schedule posts for while I'm gone, so keep checking back! We leave on Friday!

Today I have  three fun swaps to share! The first one is perfect for Mother's Day, which will be coming up in just TWO Sundays, can you belive it?

Mary waring 1

Mary Waring created her card with Gingham Garden Designer Paper for the flower pot base, Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape to seal the sides of the pot, and Delicate Details Lace tape for the flower pot rim embellishment. (ALL three of these products are on the Retiring Accessories List but ARE still available) You can access the lists by clicking on the links:

Mary waring 2

The pull-up portion has Flower Shop and Petite Petals flowers, both punched with the coordinating punches, and pearls for the centers. I love this type of card! I haven't made one in awhile!

Deb McCahan used a tutuorial she found on Splitcoaststampers to help her create this unusual pop-out card with Happy Watercolor, Secret Garden(retiring and now only available in Clear Mount), and Mixed Bunch:

Deb McCahan1

Opening . . . then open just a liiiiitle more . .

Deb McCahan 2

Pop! Deb used the "pedestal pop up" tutorial in case you want to go look for it!

Deb McCahan 3

Finally for today, an adorable punched puppy card by Nancy Hall!

Nancy hall 1

Nancy used the Heart Framelit Dies for the puppy's face and ears, then used the Full Heart Punch (retiring), Small Heart Punch (retiring), and circle punches for his face and tongue.

Nancy hall 2

Inside she stamped the numbers image from Bring on the Cake, (also retiring and already SOLD OUT), highlighting the age number with a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker!

That's all for now. I need to get my Sunday dinner in the oven before I'm off to church! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Here are the products used today that are retiring but STILL AVAILABLE:

Stampin’ Up! Grunge Butterflies!

Stampin’ Up! Grunge Butterflies!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Rain, rain, rain! All it has done at my house today is rain! It has alternately thundered and rained, lightened up, then thundered and rained again ALL DAY, and it is raining now as I write this! At least it's not snow!

While it's been raining, I've been stamping! Bet you could have guessed that anyway, huh? Today I have a fun little butterfly card made with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and both the Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches:

Stampin_up_gorgeous_grunge_butterflies_1 - Copy

I CASED this card from Michelle Last of the U.K., and you can view her card HERE. Michelle is a very talented stamper, but even she CASES cards now and then! Michelle CASED her card from one her downline, Tracey May! You can view Tracey's card HERE.

As you can see, even a CASED card morphs into something a little bit different every time as the CASE-er changes the card just a little bit to suit their fancy!

In case you are wondering what CASE means, it stands for Copy And Share Everything, which is a friendly standard Stampin' Up! Demonstrators live by world-wide!

Stampin_up_gorgeous_grunge_butterflies_1 - Copy (2)

I punched the butterflies with both the Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches from Soft Sky cadstock, Fresh Prints Designer Paper, and Vellum cardstock. They are layered on each other with Glue Dots, as well as adhered over the Pool Party-stamped Gorgeous Grunge splatters with the same.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Happy Watercolor. I really liked adding the "scratch" stamp to the sides of the layers. It gives a nice contrast of images with the splatters.

 

 

Stampin_up_gorgeous_grunge_butterflies_2 - Copy

That's all for now. I'm going to head to bed and hope the rain stops before morning, athough it IS soothing to sleep with a gentle rain falling!

Here's the supply list for everthing you need to CASE your own version of this card. You can purchase your supplies from my online store HERE.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Wonder Washi Sunburst Card!

Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Wonder Washi Sunburst Card!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there. I saved one more set of washi tape cards to show you today. This set has generally the same layout but I used the Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape from the Occasions Catalog:

Stampin_up_watercolor_wonder_washi_1 - Copy
These two cards are almost split-negatives of each other! One on Whisper White, one of Basic Black. I ran both through the Chevron Textured Impressions Folder.
The greeting is from Starburst Sayings, gold-embossed  and cut with a Starburst Framelit Die. I layerd both on a Brushed Gold circle cut with a Circles Collection Framelit Die.

Stampin_up_watercolor_washi_2 - Copy

Inside I stamped sentiments from Happy Watercolor and Express Yourself Hostess above with Gold Encore Metallic ink. I used the same ink for the sentiment from Simply Sketched Hostess  below.

Stampin_up_watercolor_wonder_4 - Copy

Funny thing about the title "Watercolor Wonder" Washi Tape. Where is the watercolor? It's gold! lol!

Hey there! Today is my "Happiest Day" class for February! yay! I love to play with my stamps all on my own, but I love it even more when friends come over to play with my stamps with me!

Today's card is one we will be making in class using the Happy Watercolor stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. This card is inspired by a swap I received from Tamra Davis at Leadership last month:

Stampin_up_happy_watercolor_1

We are using the Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Folder on the card front, then stamping a flower stem from Simple Stems and adding Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper (free with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure!) flowers punched with the Pansy and Petite Petals Punches. The greeting is stamped and punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, then layered on piece of Sweet Sorbet paper that has also been punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch!

Stampin_up_happy_watercolor_2

The Crisp Cantaloupe Twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (free with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure!). We are piercing a hole through the card front with a Paper-Piercing Tool to thread the twine through before tying in a bow.

Stampin_up_happy_watercolor_3

Inside we are stamping with a sentiment from Delightful Dozen with Jet Black StazOn ink, then stamping with another free Sale-a-bration item, Petite Petals, with Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party, and Pistachio Pudding.
