Stampin’ Up! Christmas in July An Open Heart!

Posted on July 24, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The first day of convention was yesterday and the highlight of the morning was the unveiling of the new Holiday Catalog. Oh. My. Goodness. There are no words to explain how fantastically mind-boggling it is. You are going to LOVE it!

Until I can show it to you, however, you will have to be content with another Christmas in July Class card, this time with the non-Christmas set, An Open Heart. This card was a favorite of many stampers:

I used the Hardwood background on the stamped layer first. I "stamped off" the Tip Top Taupe ink on scrap paper before stamping on the Crumb Cake card stock, then I stamped the berry branch with Mossy Meadow ink.

I colored the berries with a Blender Pen and Cherry Cobbler ink just so I could get a little more subtle color than I would if I used a marker. I followed the coloring with just a bit of clear Dazzling Details for a frosted look.

The linen thread is tied in a bow and then added with a glue dot.

I stamped the Christmas phrases from Petite Pairs on the front and inside with Cherry Cobbler ink. I also breathed on the remaining ink on the hardwood and the branch before stamping again on the inside layer.

Stampin’ Up! Definitely Dahlia Meets Hardwood!

Posted on July 8, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I used two background stamps for today's card, Definitely Dahlia and Hardwood:

Truth: after I made this one I didn't like it AT ALL. I almost threw it away, but laid it aside while I worked on another card. I came back to it a few hours later with "fresh eyes", and then I liked it!

I inked the raised side of the Woodgrain folder before embossing the Soft Suede card stock. I stamped the Dahlia once with Old Olive and twice with Melon Mambo. After hand-cutting the Old Olive and one of the Melon Mambo, I punched the second Melon Mambo with the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch and once with the Bitty Butterfly punch.

The greeting is my favorite from All Boxed Up!

Inside I used another sentiment from All Boxed Up.

I'm still working on convention swaps, Christmas in July class, three special birthday cards and a special baby shower car, all due BEFORE I go to convention on the 22nd. Oh, and did I mention we are having a yard sale this weekend too? Eeek!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on April 12, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is a really busy day. First thing this morning I am helping with the babies in the nursery, then right after church is over we are throwing a bridal shower for a good friend of our family. As soon as we clean up from the shower it will be time for the evening service. Whew! I’m tired already! I am in charge of the shower decorations, and I am really happy with what I came up with to go with the bride’s wedding theme of Teal, Red, Burlap, and Pearls. I hope to have some pics to share with you tomorrow!

But even with all the busyness, it’s still Sunday Swap Day, so here we go!

Today’s swaps have a decidedly masculine feel.

This swap created by pairing The Open Sea with the World Map background is simple but packs a lot of visual interest. Unfortunately, the creators’ name has been separated from the creation.

Second, Mary Waring achieved a stunning rendition of World Map by coloring the “map” with Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz. She used the suitcase from the Traveler set and a phrase from Really Good Greetings.

Third, Becky NIchols combined the Hardwood background with the Moon Lake set. I really like how she used the Window Frames Framelits Dies to cut out and mat the bird image, then used one of the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits to cut out the greeting!

Finally, Ruth Anne Lilley also used Hardwood and Moon Lake, but used the swish stamp from Work of Art to easily add color to the tree and boat image!

That’s all for now. I must get ready for this busy day!

Here’s the link to my online store to order your supplies to make your own version of these cards:

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

You will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail from me no matter how small or large your order is!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Sunday Night!

Posted on November 2, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've had a GREAT weekend! Grandbabies here for Halloween, craft fair on Saturday, a party on Sunday afternoon. Throw in the time-change last night and I'm happy-but-exhausted!

Our first little trick-or-treater this year was Oakley the baby ghost! He was all bundled up warm as toast inside his cut-out pillowcase. His hat underneath helped hold out the eye holes:

Yes, he is a baby ghost with a pacifier!

Of course, if you really NEED to see better, all you have to do is move the holes around a bit:

Oakley, Liam (as Anakin Skywalker), and Jaxon (as Mickey Mouse):

The Hollis kids: Mickey Jaxon, Cavegirl Ava, and Minecraft Cohen!

Thanks for enduring my proud grandma moment. As a reward, here's today's swaps, all created using the Wondrous Wreath Bundle:

Mary Ellen Byler created a lovely white-washed look with the Hardwood Background, faintly stamped on Smoky Slate. Love her non-traditional color combo of Pistachio Pudding, Mossy Meadow, and Blackberry Bliss:

Not sure of this ones' creator, but it's perfect simplicity in Whisper White, Smok Slate and Silver heat embossing.

This is also a nameless beauty using Trim the Tree Designer Paper Stack and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details for the berries.

That's all for now. Check back tomorrow to see the cards in the November Online Christmas Card Class. To get the kit, just place a $35 order in my online store using this Hostess Code: VW4XC9RH With yucky weather and an uber-busy weekend I've not had a chance to photograph them. Will get that done pronto tomorrow and posted for you!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Sunday Night!

Posted on July 13, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday! yay! This morning was my turn to help in the nursery at church during the morning service. Lot's of work, but so much fun!

Today's swap cards are all about florals and color!

First a side-fold card with the Flower Patch Bundle, Four You greeting, and yummy new Melon Mambo 1/4" Cotton Ribbon!

Inside you can see how the side-fold and center panel work. Card base is Wild Wasabi.

Next, a window pocket card. A Flower Fair Framelit was used to cut the window, and a phrase from the new Fabulous Four was embossed with white to make it pop!

I have helpers when I'm taking my pics outside on my deck. This is just one of the TEN kittens we have right now!

Next is Blended Bloom. The hand-cut lattice technique was used on the spine of the card and the Hardwood Background really completes the backyard-fence look!

Here's another view of my Blended Bloom card from earlier this week. You can view the original post with more details HERE.

That's all for now. I'm so sorry this isn't posting until Sunday night, but you know how things go, sometimes not at all how you plan!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
