Stampin’ Up! Yes, Mam’s! Shoebox Swap Card #2!

Posted on June 24, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Today's sample was created by another of my dear friends and downline, Angela Henson!

Angela chose the Gingham Garden Washi Tape colors of Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, and Daffodil Delight for her cards' color palette, in addition to Mixed Bunch and Loving Thoughts stamps, the Blossom Punch, and the 1" Circle Punch!

On the inside I layered the Daffodil Delight ink over the Melon Mambo ink using two different Mixed Bunch stamps. I like the effect!

Here's a fun and easy idea to coordinate your envelope: just add strips of Gingham Garden Washi Tape to the flap! I love how easy it is to attach, because the tacky adhesive is already on the tape! Fun!

That's all for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Label Love & Soho Subway for Maddie Kate!

Posted on May 22, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Just wanted to show you quickly a few pics from Maddie Kate's birthday party last night and the card I made for her!

All products are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

First, the birthday girl!

And of course she had to blow out the candles! Her mom made the cake, which she always does for birthdays. This year instead of "happy birthday" like usual, she wrote "She has the sophistication of a woman of TWELVE", a favorite quote from the movie "Little Rascals"!

And here's the card I made for her! I didn't want to post this until after she received it. Who wants a card everyone has seen before you do?

Very Vanilla, Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar, and Island Indigo coordinate perfectly as the listed colors in the new Soho Subway designer paper coming in the NEW Catalog in just a little over a week!

The Label Love birthday greeting was punched with the Artisan Label punch, then layered on two more punched labels for the mat. They are attached to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I used an Window Sheet technique I learned in Fiji to attach the Big Shot Typeset Alphabet letters for her name on the inside when she opened the card!

For the third dimension of this card I stamped the cake from Make a Wish (in the Occasions catalog now but IS carrying over into the new catalog!) once in Baked Brown Sugar, once in Island Indigo, once in Crisp Cantaloupe on Very Vanilla scraps, then once in Crisp Cantaloupe on the Very Vanilla card layer. I fussy-cut out the individual cake layers with my Paper Snips, then attached them with a Stampin' Dimensional under each layer.

My final touch is just a teeny-tiny bit of Clear Dazzling Details on the candle flames! LOVE it!

Oh, and the "CELEBRATE" is from Seasonal Sayings, and the "you mean SO much to SO many people" is from One in a Million!

That's all for now! Maddie Kate's little sister, Ava Claire, spent the night with me while Maddie had 5 of her girlfriends spend the night, and today we are going to have mani's and pedi's, and who knows what else we will do? We watched a couple of stamping videos before Ava went to sleep (Ava is a girl after her Grammie's own heart, she LOVES to stamp too!), so we may do a little stamping too!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #3! Summer Starfruit?

Posted on February 2, 2013 by Carol Payne

For today's "Best of Birthdays" Class card, "you're the icing on the cake!" stamp and Sycamore Street Designer Paper:

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

We used a quirked version of the "split negative" technique for the focal image, which was very easy to do. Just stamp image once on Whisper White, punch with 1 1/4" Circle Punch, then stamp again on Tangerine Tango and again on Island Indigo. Punch both with 1" Circle Punch, cut one cirle in half, then layer just half of it onto other full 1" circle to re-complete the image and you are done! Inside, phrases from the current Hostess-exclusive set, "Wacky Wishes":

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

I have a confession to make, I really, really don't like Summer Starfruit, at least not whole layers of it. The card I'm going to show you tomorrow has a teeny-tiny little strip of it as an accent, which I can handle, but no matter how card I try, such as with this card, I just cannot like it. I'm sorry!

But you know, that's why Stampin' Up! has so many colors to choose from in their color palette, so there is something for everyone! I love this Company!
