Stampin’Up! Language of Love!

Posted on January 20, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had planned to show you more of the swaps from my downline meeting on Sunday, but instead I learned this neat new fun fold today and just couldn't wait to share it with you!

I combined FOUR stamp sets to create this card:

Language of Love #133704 wood-mount $16.95, #133077 clear-mount $12.95

Hearts a Flutter #131922 wood-mount $25.95, #129252 clear-mount $18.95

Countless Sayings 1 Photopolymer #135892 $13.95

Countless Sayings 2 Photopolymer #135893 $13.95

The card base is Baked Brown Sugar. Cardstocks are Whisper White, Real Red, Coastal Cabana.

Designer Series Paper is the Fresh Prints Stack #132996 $6.95

Hearts a Flutter Framelits #130159 $24.95

Bitty Banners Framelits #129267 $14.95

Small Heart Punch #117193 $5.95

Sweetheart Treat Bags #134610 $4.95 for a package of 12

Rhinestones Basic Jewels #119246 $4.95

I attached one of the Sweetheart Treat Bags, folded into thirds, to the middle of the back side of the card to be able to add some candy! Fun!

Isn't this an awesome fold? Here's the dimensions for the card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8", and 6 1/2".

The dimensions for the designer paper layers and the Whisper White center layer are:

Outside fold sections: 1 7/8" x 5 3/8" – you will need two

Inside fold sections: 1" x 5 3/8" -you will need two

Center section: 2 1/8" x 5 3/8" – you will need one

Even without the addtion of the candy this card was a little bit too bulky, so I also made a coordinating envelope for it with Coastal Cabana Designer Paper and my Envelope Punch Board #133774 $19.95.

I used the Coastal Cabana Baker's Twine and one of the pre-cut striped banners from the Sweetheart Treat Bags kit to tie up the envelope. Really cute and easy!

That's all for now. I've made a couple more cards with this fun fold, but I haven't had a chance to photograph them yet. I'm hoping to get a chance to do that today so I can show at least one of them to you tomorrow!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! One Last Valentine For This Year!

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Valentine's Day! What are you doing for your sweetie today?

Depending on what my hubby's schedule dictates today, I hope to make him a yummy supper tonight, although I may have to make a grocery run so I have a few special things that are his favorites!

I found one more Valentine swap picture from Leadership that I wanted to share with you here:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This card combines a bunch of cool Occasions Catalog products and a technique that is hot right now in the blog world, Chalkboarding!

More Amore Designer Series Paper is the card base background with an Oval Accent Bigz Die Real Red flap on the right side. Hearts a Flutter heart stamps and Hearts a Flutter and Hearts Framelits cut everything out perfectly! All of the Basic Black hearts are treated with the Chalkboarding technique, with the largest heart stamped with the "You're in MY thoughts, YOU'RE in my heart" from Word Play.

The left side of the card is embellished with Pool Party Seam Binding tied in a loopy bow, with a Designer Builder Brad and Linen Thread accenting the center.

I will be featuring the Chalkboarding technique, but with a different card of course, in my March Punch/Technique Class, so check back with me after the two classes are over to see how it's done!

I'd better let you go for now. I also have to begin TAX PREPARATIONS today! Farmer's & Fishermen have to have their taxes submitted by the end of February, so not much time left!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Valentine's Day!

Stampin’ Up! My Grandkids’ Valentines!

Posted on February 8, 2013 by Carol Payne

It's Friday! yay! I love Fridays! Even though I have the BEST job in the world to get to stamp and share with you all, I still love the extra-relaxed feeling I get just knowing it's almost the weekend!

Yesterday my oldest grandson, Cohen, turned 5! WOW! He was still just a baby when I left my day-job to pursue my dream of being a full-time Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and here we are! This fall he will start kindergarten and I will have been a full-time demo for 5 years! Amazing!

Tonight is Cohen's Birthday Party and I am ready! I purchased his gift right after Christmas – all I still need to do is wrap it! And his card is finished too:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

But I did promise to show you the Valentines I will be helping my grandkids make this year, didn't I?

First up, the one you actually saw yesterday, only you didn't know which one it was, right? Here's Ava's Valentine "matchbook", complete with Sweettarts candy!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Of course, in the words of my daughter, Kimberly: "no valentine is any good without candy!", so here's the inside:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Next, Cohen's Valentine, which is another matchbook but with a much more masculine theme:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

That amazing ol' Owl Builder Punch comes in SO handy! Kimberly swears EVERYONE NEEDS it!

And inside:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

And lastly, I took the Valentine Heart Box from my Hearts a Flutter Class and turned "vintage" into "modern" for Maddie Kate with the Pop-Up Posies Kit:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The Calypso Coral pre-cut flowers in the kit made embellishing this favor a real treat! I actually enlarged this box from the original, using the next-size-larger Heart Framelit and enlarging the inside box as well by using 12 x 12 Basic Black cardstock. This baby will hold lots more Hershey's Kisses than the original!

I added a Basic Black Basics Glimmer Brad to the center of the flower for some bling and used the "just for you" stamp that is part of the Pop-Up Posies Kit for the greeting.

The Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder was used to emboss the Pool Party heart, and the Fancy Fan Folder was used around the edges of the box:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The top of the box is tied shut with some of the Pool Party FREE RIBBON you can get with a $50 order right now during Sale-a-bration!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

One last view:

Can you tell I'm especially pleased with this project?

That's all for today! Hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Heart Box for “Hearts a Flutter” Class!

Posted on February 6, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Wednesday to you! I put a sneak peek of this project on my Facebook page yesterday, it's a cute little "Hershey's Heart Box" that we will be making at my "Hearts a Flutter" Mystery Hostess Class tomorrow. There's still room in either session, 1 p.m. or 6:30 p.m., so contact me to attend!

I found the directions for this box on Brenda Quintana's blog. She is the creator of some really awesome 3-D projects, including the "Kissmas Tree" we made back in December!

You will receive your own copy of the directions to make this box, along with directions for all three of the additional projects at the class tomorrow.

This box is ingenius but astonishingly easy!

Here's' a top view:

This box will hold 6-8 Hershey's kisses very nicely!

That't it for today. I will be working on another version of this box for my grand-daughter, Maddie Kate's, Valentines. We will actually work together to make them, along with her sister, Ava, and her brother, Cohen, making their Valentine's too sometime this weekend. I will be showing you their Valentine's in the next few days!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" day!

Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration has begun! How will you Sale-a-brate?

Posted on January 27, 2013 by Carol Payne

This posting is late today, I know, but it is still on time since it is still Sunday!

Before I show you my creation for today, how about a little picture of me and my sister?

Last Sunday afternoon my hubby & I traveled north about 2 1/2 hours to the city of my birth, Decatur, Illinois to attend a retirement party for my sister, Connie. Connie worked as a Respiratory Therapist for many years (over 30!). Her husband retired a couple of years ago, and now she has joined those ranks too!

Some say Connie looks like our dad and I look like our mom. I just know she was my favorite person growing up and is right up there on my favorites list now! I love you, sis!

Now on to today's card:

This card's focal point is actually what would usually be considered the discard piece from yesterday's card. Remember the "quilted heart" from the center? This is the pieceit was cut out of, mounted on Chocolate Chip, then a heart from Hearts A Flutter stamped in Calypso Coral and a tiny little motif from the Sale-a-bration set, Madison Avenue, stamped in Pool Party. The "LOVE YOU" is from Itty Bitty Banners cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits.

I have a confession to make: the base of this card was begun waaaaaay back in October of 2011! I was prepping swaps for the Louisville Regional that year and I ran out of time before I was able to complete them, so into storage they went, and were promptly forgotten! Leadership 2012, then Convention 2012 came and went, and these bases, Houndstooth-embossed Pool Party on Chocolate Chip, continued to languish, destined to oblivion once Pool Party retired in May of 2013. But lucky for them, while I was preparing the room where they were stored for Christmas family guests, they were unearthed (YOU don't have anything like that wasting away in YOUR craft or spare bedroom, do YOU?!)

So a discarded-but-now-repurposed focal point meets almost-forgotten card base. What do you think? I liked it once I completed it and it turns out I got lots of nice compliments on it when I swapped it in Orlando.

Thats all for today. It's a gloomy, cold, rainy & almost icy day here, but until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
