Stampin’Up! Daydream Medallions Wreath!

Posted on November 6, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I am sharing my final project from my November Christmas Card Class using the Gift Bow Bigz L Die, Daydream Medallions stamps, Floral Frames Framelits, and Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Folder:

The card base is Pear Pizzazz, sponged with Pear Pizzazz ink after embossing. I stamped the "wreath" with Always Artichoke ink before cutting out with the Floral Frames Framelit. I sponged the wreath edges with Always Artichoke ink too.

I cut the bow from Season of Style Designer Paper, then added a Vintage Faceted Button and a Rhinestone with Glue Dots.

The "joy to the world" greeting is from the Holiday Catalog set, Joy to the World, was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink, sponged in Always Artichoke ink, and cut out with a Chalk Talk Framelit.

Inside the card I used the smallest of the Daydream Medallions stamps as mini-wreaths with Always Artichoke ink. I stamped the "wishing you Christmas Cheer. . ." from Christmas Messages with Cherry Cobbler ink and sponged the edges with Always Artichoke.

That's all for now. Thanks so much for coming by to see me today. I'm working on the cards for my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack for this Saturday and Monday now. I will start showing you those tomorrow. Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Wreath Completed!

Posted on August 23, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Today is a special day! My baby boy, Ben, turns 21 today! Ahhhhhh!

Here's a recent picture of Ben:

I'm so proud of him. He has grown into a fine young man; loving, kind, thoughtful. He really thinks things through. He's working and going to school, and although he hasn't exactly found his job goal, he's still working on it!

Ben is #6 in my Payne Clan. Until Ben arrived, I always felt our family wasn't complete yet. At the dinner table, I would look around at my happy, crazy bunch of kids and I just knew we weren't all here yet. After Ben's birth, I knew I was done. He is just the icing on my cake!

Today's card you have seen before HERE, but I wanted to show you the completed card with the inside:

Wonderful Wreath and Joy to the World stamps from the Holiday Catalog were used on the card front, with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions folder for depth. We will be using ovals from the Large Oval and Extra Large Oval punches and a Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel to create the bow. We will be using the Cupcake Builder Punch to punch the berries for the wreath!

Inside I stamped a small image from Mosaic Madness, inked with a Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker in each corner. The verse is from another Holiday Catalog set, Christmas Messages.

That's all for now! I need to finish setting up for my Holiday Catalog Open House this afternoon!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
