Stampin’Up! Sweet Sayings Cards & Envelopes!

Posted on February 4, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have a trio of cards to show you today. I created them using the Sweet Sayngs Cards & Envelopes from the "Whole Lot of Love" flyer of products that has been extended until February 14.

This 12 pack of card and coordinating envelopes is not just for valentines:

First, an easter card using the Blessed Easter wood-mount single stamp, the Happy Day stamp set, Pool Party 1/2" Seam Binding, and the Scallop Tag Topper punch!

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Blessings from Heaven, then breathed on the left-over ink on the Blessed Easter stamp to re-moisten so I could stamp again in the lower left corner. The Sweet Sayings pack has four each of Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party, and Read Red envelopes, so I stamped with the medallion stamp from Happy Day with Crisp Cantaloupe ink on the matching envelope!

Next, I used more stamps from Happy Day, Pool Party 1/2" Seam Binding, and the Scallop Tag Topper Punch again to create this fun little general-greeting card. I added a few Rhinestones to give it a little "pop"!

This time I stamped on the Pool Party envelope that comes with the Sweet Sayings cards to keep the coordination going!

Finally, I used the Language of Love stamp set to create a valentine! I stamped my images with Real Red, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Pool Party. The heart with the love sentiments in many languages was punched with the Full Heart punch, and I fussy-cut the banners and pennant with my Paper Snips. I backed the heart with a Real Red one cut with one of the Hearts a Flutter Framelits. I punched a little half-circle with an Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack punch on each side of the card front to help anchor the Pool Party Twine from the FREE SAB Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack.

I hope you've enjoyed my trio of cards. I love how Stampin' Up! has been giving us so many more kit options lately that have pre-cut, pre-scored card bases and envelopes! It makes card making a snap!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, Valentines, One More Time!

Posted on February 1, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Earlier this week I received my monthly packet of swaps. It took me about a day and a half to find the time to open it, but when I did I was not disappointed! Today I'm going to share the valentines that were in the packet. Next Sunday I will share some of the other fantastic swaps that were in there, but for today here goes:

First, a really sweet and simple one from Barb Dykhouse. Barb tore a piece of paper, then laid it on the Whisper White layer and sponged ever-so-gently with Smoky Slate ink. She stamped the tree branch from Take Care next, then stamped and punched out the little hearts from the Language of Love set with the Small Heart punch. She then added the "heartstrings" with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. LOVE it!

This was another swap I received at Leadership by Michelle Suit. Michelle used the Love You to the Moon stamp set, pairing it with Fresh Prints Designer Paper and the On Film Framelits. The tiny hearts were punched with the Owl Builder Punch! Cute!

Karen Kurz created this one with the Perfect Pennants stamp set, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, and Envelope Punch Board. She punched the seemingly dozens of hearts with the Small Heart punch from Silver Glimmer, Champagne Glimmer, and Red Glimmer Paper. The Soft Sky heart in the background was punched with the Full Heart Punch.

I swapped with Linda Wright at Leadership for this one! Real Red cardstock, Fresh Prints DSP, Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, Petite Petals stamps and punch and Labels Collection Framelits combine to create a quick and perky valentine!

Katy Simecka used the Flowerful Heart wood-only stamp (still available unti February 14th!) with Retro Fresh Designer Paper, Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim, and a banner from the Perfect Pennants set for her valentine offering.

Tamie Ackerson used the free SAB set, Banner Blast with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder and a Delightful Dozen greeting. She added a Red Glimmer Small Heart for her finishing touch!

Last but definitely not least, Ruth Bingle used Whisper White Cardstock Vellum over the "love" stamp from Best of Love (still available until March 31st) to give a frosted, elegant look! I also love the crisp textured look of the wavy Fresh Prints paper under the Whisper White Small Heart-punched layer. Ruth added a litle bit of Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon tied in a bow. Simply perfect!!!!!

That's all for now. It's not too late to order Valentine stamps! To shop and place your order (and choose a free Sale-a-bration item when your merchandise total reaches $50!) click HERE to go to my Online Store.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

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!

You can purchase your own supplies to make this card by clicking HERE to shop in my Online Store.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
