Stampin’Up! Crazy About You!

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm just hanging out with Oakley this morning! He is a fun little guy!

I've been prepping the project packets for my online class in little bits of time I've managed to carve out in between Lando and Oakly time.

When you place your online order with me of at least $35, two of the projects you will receive in your January packet is this card using the Crazy About You stamp set. You can view the full supply list for this card and get the Hostess Code to use when you place your order when you click HERE.

Here are the Make n' Takes from Founder's Circle year. We were given the Crazy About You set and the coordinating Hello You Thinlet Dies to make these cute little tags and cards with Flowerpot Designer Paper:

We embellished a Polka Dot Tag a Bag Gift Bag with a Tea Lace Doily, Flower Pot DSP, "hello" from the Hello You Thinlets, a phrase from Crazy About You, and a Clothespin we covered with a bit of Flowerpot paper:

After cutting out the "thanks" with the Hello You Thinlet die, we colored a background of Whisper White with Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Pumpkin Pie Blendabilites, then used the "negative space" cut out by the die to let the colors show through:

That's all for now. Don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack, New Arrivals, and the Weekly Deals while you are shopping, and be sure to choose a free Sale-a-bration item when your shopping cart total reaches $50 before tax & shipping.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop January Edition: Sale-a-bration is Here!

Posted on January 14, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! TODAY is the first 2015 Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Sale-a-bration!

If you're already on the hop, you've probably just arrived from Stella MacKay's blog,

Stellar Stamps. Stella is a creatively talented sister-in-stamps. I love her ideas each month!

Besides Christmas, Sale-a-bration is my favorite time of the stamping year! I LOVE that my stampers get to choose a FREE SAB item from the Sale-a-bration brochure with every $50 order!

My project for this month features both an Occasions Catalog and a SAB set:

I used the Occasions Catalog Hey Valentine, choosing a Gorgeous Grunge stamp with Marine Mist ink for the "bubbles". My card layers are cut using Circle Collection Framelits Dies and the white heat-embossed greeting is cut with the Circle Card Thinlets Dies banner.

I added a Red Glimmer heart punched with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (ON SALE in this week's Weekly Deals! yay!)

On the back I punched holes to insert the sucker stick with the 1/4" Handheld Punch, and stamped "you're the best!" from SAB set Simply Wonderful with Memento Tuxedo Black.

Before I decided on the Gorgeous Grunge bubbles stamp, I tried the Shaving Cream Technique on Whisper White cardstock, then stamped the fishy image with Tuxedo Black.

I can't decide which one I like the best, but stamping with Gorgeous Grunge is definitely quicker and less messy than the Shaving Cream Technique!

That's all for now. Check out the supply list below, then hop over to Judy Garza's blog HERE. Clicking on one of the supply list images will take you to my Online Store:

Stampin! Up! Zoo Babies for Lando!

Posted on January 14, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! You've probably already heard. I've been shouting about it on Facebook for a few days, but in case you haven't, my newest grandson, Lando Ronan Hiller, has arrived! He weighed 8 lbs 9 oz. Mommy & Lando are doing great! I'm staying with her for a couple of weeks to mostly help out with Lando's "big brother", Oakley, who will be 18 months in a couple of days.

Now I can FINALLY finish his card:

I added his name using Simply Pressed Clay and the new Alphanumeric Mold in the Occasions Catalog. After the letters dried, I colored them first with my Lost Lagoon marker, then added the "stitching" with a White Chalk Marker. I attached the letters to the card front with Crystal Effects. The letters were not completely flat, so I put a couple of heavy books on top of them until the Crystal Effects was dry.

After stamping the Whisper White Medium Evelope with Zoo Babies images and Lost Lagoon ink, I used the Envelope Liner Thinlet Dies to cut the Sweet Dreams Designer Paper to embellish the inside flap of the envelope.

You can check out the supply list for this card in my post last month HERE.

Here are the additional supplies I used to create and attach Lando's name. Place your order in my Online Store HERE.

White Simply Pressed Clay [130685] $6.95	Alphanumeric Simply Pressed Clay Mold [137854] $9.95	2014-2016 In Color Stampin' Write Markers [133654] $14.95	White Stampin Chalk Marker [132133] $3.50	Crystal Effects [101055] $6.25
Envelope Liners Framelits Die [132172] $26.95	Medium Whisper White Envelopes [107301] $6.50

The instructions and tips to make the Alphanumeric Letters with the Simply Pressed will be included in my next newsletter scheduled to go out next Tuesday. If you are not subscribed, be sure to sign up using this feature on the right side of my blog!

Until tomorrow, which is the monthly Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop, have a Stampingrox! Day!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Basics!

Posted on January 8, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there. Still no baby. She has been having labor every evening, so it's getting closer. She's 41 weeks today. They won't let her go over 42, but we are hoping she goes on her own.

Today is a Liam day. We've had scrambled eggs, played with duplos, and watched a bit of Thomas. It's always fun to get to "play" with Liam!

Today's card is another from the January Online Class. We are using Butterfly Basics bundle with Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Paper (you can get the DSP FREE with a $50 order right now!)

The Circle Card Thinlet Die is a favorite for birthday cards. The Irresistibly Yours paper is white embossed images on white paper, then you add any color of ink you want with a sponge, spritzer, or brayer. I used a Stampin' Sponge to add Wild Wasabi ink, then removed excess ink from the embossed areas with a tissue.

As you open the center circle "flips" to reveal the Blackberry Blissed butterfly cut with a Butterfly Thinlets Die.

Open reveals the center birthday greeting from Hey You, and includes a bookmark stamped with the little bookworm from the Occasions Catalog Hostess set, Time to Celebrate. The top of the center panel and bookmark are punched with the new Ornate Tag Topper Punch!

Stampin’ Up! Time to Celebrate!

Posted on January 5, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The 2015 Occasions Catalog AND Sale-a-bration starts tomorrow! Today is a good time to share the notebook I gave my downline who attended the Occasions Catalog/SAB Kickoff with me in early December:

I added a cover to a mini legal-size notepad. Starting with a layer of Blackberry Bliss, I added a Pear Pizzazz layer stamped with the leaf from the Crazy For You stamp set from the Occasions Catalog using Pear Pizzazz ink. I received this set and the Time to Celebrate Hostess set at the 2014 Founder's Circle Retreat in September.

I stamped a Beautiful Bunch flower with Blackberry Bliss ink, then punched with the Fun Flower Punch. I layered it on a second Fun Flower punched from Blackberry Bliss cardstock with a Stampin' Dimensional.

The little worm is my favorite from the Time to Celebrate Hostess Set. This set is a limited-edition available ONLY to hostesses who have a party or place an order of at least $150. This set is ONLY available from January 6-June 2! Contact me to book your party, or go to my online store to place your order of at least $150 staring January 6th (tomorrow!)

With Sale-a-bration running from January 6-March 31, you can choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure with every $50 you spend! yay!

The "worm wishes" sentiment that I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink is also from Time to Celebrate.

That's all for now! I plan to be back tomorrow with another cute Occasions Catalog/SAB project, unless baby Lando arrives before then!

Here's the supply list for the notebook cover. Starting tomorrow all of the products will be available in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Blendabilities for Stephanie’s Wedding!

Posted on January 1, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there. Happy New Year! Did you kiss your sweetheart at midnight last night? I did! lol!

A dear friend of mine's only daughter was married during Thanksgiving weekend. I created this card for her gift:

Whisper White card base, layered with Blackberry Bliss, then Smokey Slate. I used the Hearts stencil from the Hearts & Stars Decorative Masks with a sponge dauber to add Silver Encore Metallic hearts. The Blackberry Bliss "happy" was cut with the new Hello You Thinlets Dies in the Occasions Catalog (available starting January 6!)

Adhering these skinny little words can be tricky. They are too thin and delicate for SNAIL or glue dots. Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue and a toothpick to the rescue!

I stamped a sentiment from Big News in the Annual Catalog with Blackberry Bliss on the inside, then used the same Hearts mask to sponge more Silver Encore hearts.

More hearts sponged lightly with Blackberry Bliss ink completed the envelope. I used a ready-made silver glimmery bow, coloring the center with my darkest Rich Razzleberry Blendability alcohol marker to match!

DANGER!!!!!Blendability markers on glimmer paper: the roughness of the glitter will FUZZ the tip of your Blendability!

FORTUNATELY for all of us, the Blendability markers are available to choose as your free item in the Sale-a-bration catalog! When I place my next $50 order on January 6, I will be able to choose a new set of Rich Razzleberry Blendabilites as my freebie! whoo hoo!

That's all for now. I'm going to do a little bit of Christmas-returns and shopping this afternoon, so I've got to fly!

Here's the supply list for Stephanie's card. Go to my online store to order: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

All orders placed in my online store will receive a Thank You project packet from me. No minimum $$ amount required! Be sure to check out the Clearance Rack and the newest Weekly Deals while you are there!

Stampin’ Up! A Geometrical Mickey Card for Jaxon!

Posted on December 31, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just ONE day left of 2014! This year has just FLOWN by hasn't it?

For my last post of 2014 I want to share the second Mickey Mouse card I created for Jaxon's birthday. This one was for Uncle Logan and Uncle Ben to put money in:

I used the Circles Collection Framelits to cut the card base, then added punched 2" Circles for the mouse ears. The center is simply stamped with a sentiment from the Geometrical set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I used the circle framelit to cut the cardstock just off the fold to make the card easily open.

Inside I combined a sentiment from the Project Life Remember This Photopolymer set with words from the new 2015 Occasions Catalog set, Crazy About You.

It was easy to make my card the right size to fit inside a Whisper White Medium Envelope:
