Stampin’ Up! Lotus Blossom!

Posted on February 28, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's another FREEZING cold day here, but that can be said for much of the U.S., can't it? Last night I got to stamp with a lovely group of ladies that I love. Their group is not actually a club, because we keep having new stampers coming every month, but their event is a Mystery Hostess Stamp Camp!

Here's how it works:

Each stamper brings a finger food of their choice to the event. (if they can't bring a snack that's o.k. too) Everyone has the choice to either pay the flat $10 stamp camp fee or place an order of at least $30 to stamp the 4 cards for free. Everyone who places an order gets their name in a drawing to see who gets the Host Benefits from the combined total of the night's orders. Whoever was the hostess the month before is excluded from the drawing, even though they usually place an order anyway.

It works out pretty well; everyone seems to be happy and has a great time stamping, snacking, and visiting!

Here's one of the cards we made last night. This was inspired by a Leadership swap:

I just realized as I was adding my watermark to these pictures that it is out-of-date. It's 2015, isn't it? I've been so involved with my grandbabies that I haven't had time to think about my watermark date! Guess this goes on my "to do" list for next week!

This set, Lotus Blossom, is one of the sets you can choose from the Sale-a-bration brochure when you place a $50 order. About half of the stampers placing orders last night chose this set for their freebie!

That's all for now. If you would like to choose this set for your $50 order freebie, just go to my online store to place your order: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on January 18, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there. I've spent the past week cuddling the most adorable baby boy, Lando, and chasing and cuddling his big brother, Oakley! I'm so thankful and blessed! Right now I'm home for the long weekend, giving the little family some together time, but I will be going back on Monday evening to help out the rest of the week.

Since it's Sunday, it's time to share some swaps:

First, Laura Milligan used the largest phrase image from the Hello Life set, adding banners, white baker's twine, and a bit of gold sequin trim to give it a balloon look!

Next, Emily Tull combined Painted Petals Designer Paper with the single-image stamp Love is Kindess. She added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the blooms and "tied" a bit of Linen Thread around the newspaper wrapper.

Third, Mary Ann Sedlacek chose one of the Cheerful Critters for her swap. She punched the top of the tag with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, added punched banners, and tied the ribbon from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack with a bit of Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker's Twine.

Finally, Jan Rodrian chose the Sale-a-bration set, Lotus Blossom, to create her swap. The Lotus Blossom set is photopolymer only, and is actually a THREE-STEP stamp set!

That's all for now. You can find all the supplies to create your version of any of today's samples in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
