Stampin’ Up! a Couple of Birthday Cards!

Posted on January 13, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I arrived home last night from Leadership in Houston, TX and am both exhilarated and exhausted! Can you relate?

I have tons of fun new stuff to show you but none of it has been edited or sized to fit on my blog. When I sat down with my laptop I find that my mouse is apparently wearing out and will barely right click, so I found a couple of birthday swaps that you haven’t seen yet but are still current:

These little guys from Zoo Review are just adorable. The creator (sorry, I’ve lost the name) used the masking technique to stamp the penguin in the middle, covered him with a mask, then stamped the same penguin on either side of him. SO KAY-UTE! The “you can never have too much happy” from Yippee-Skippee! matches perfectly with this little group of guys!

My second offering for you today uses a riot of punches to create the happy little clown and the pennant banner! The “happy BIG day” from the Chalk Talk set has a bit of a “big top” feel to it, don’t you think?

Well, this is all I can manage today without my trusty mouse working properly! I have to run some errands today, so in addition to getting my teeth cleaned, buying a new phone (Instagram, here I come!), and getting groceries, I will be purchasing a new mouse!

Today is the last day for the current Stampin’ Up! Weekly Deals. To shop for those click HERE.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Tea Shoppe Tea for Two!

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! I'm off to have a "Liam Day" today, but before I go I want to show you one of the three Technique cards we will be making Saturday at my Punch/Technique Class!

I combined last year's Occasions Catalog favorite, Tea Shoppe stamp set with this year's Tea for Two Designer Paper, then added Delicate Details Lace Tape Masking, a technique Shelli Gardner demonstrated for us at Leadership:

You can see a hint of the lace tape masking on the card front, but it's much more evident on the inside, where I also used words from Blooming with Kindness, one of my favorite birthday phrases!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Here's a quick overview of this technique:

Attach the lace tape to the cardstock "lightly", do not press it into the project so it will be easier to remove later. Sponge desired color over and around tape, filling in all the openings in the design of the tape. Crumb Cake was sponged on the Crumb Cake cardstock for this project.

Finally, gently remove the tape to expose the lovely sponged design! This tape comes in two different designs in the package, so you have more variety. The tape is a type of tacky adhesive-backed plastic, so you can't really color ON it, but you can sponge over it, remove the tape, then re-use the tape on anther project (just be sure you wipe off any excess ink that may remain on the tape).

There are TWO more Technique projects coming up the next two days, so check back tomorrow and Friday!

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Forever Young!

Posted on March 12, 2012 by Carol Payne

I was asked to do a presentation about "what I do" for a church ladies group last week, and I was honored to do it! This group has a different presentation each month, and obviously have a really good time learning new things! They've even tackled making a basket, a project that I understand took 4 months to complete, so I took some time to think through how I wanted to start them out with a little taste of "Stampin' Up!

I decided to take lots of display samples, including some of my scrapbooks, catalogs, and all the usual what-not. For the two cards I promised them I chose "Forever Young" as one of the sets I wanted to showcase:

Seems like alot going on here, but I wanted a basic-yet-pleasing card that would feature techniques that don't require alot of bells and whistles to achieve a good outcome! We used basic stamping with Staz-on Black ink, Twitterpated Designer Paper, a masking technique, and sponging.The greeting is from "Language of Friendship", one of the free stamp sets in the Sale-a-bration Mini!

Here's the inside:

I used the "Just Believe" flower clump stamp in here because of its' beautiful silhouette image that carries through the theme from the card front. I also chose "Blessings from Heaven" because it continues the thought from the outside greeting. A perfect "thinking of you" card!

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by. I will return tomorrow with the second card from this class!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

More Downline Meeting Shares!

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Carol Payne

Cathy Hewlett, Linda's 1st level downline and my 2nd level, always brings a bunch of fun samples to share to our meeting, it was hard to pick just a few to show you, so here are several! Cathy holds a Technique Class at her home every month, featuring fun and different stamping techniques. I will try to tell you which technique these are if I can!

For this first card Cathy used the "Countryside" stamp set from page 115 of the Big Catalog, painted with White Craft ink and an Aquapainter to achieve the worn, old look! "wish big" is from "Short & Sweet" on page 148.

In this next sample with the "Eastern Blooms" set from page 112, Cathy used one of the "Clear Mount Blocks" found on page 192 to stamp the background square!

Cathy used the "Burned Batik" techniqe with "Baroque Motifs" stamp set on page 132 to create this feminine card.

Occasions Mini "Bring on the Cake" stamp set was paired with the "Sweet Buttons" Embosslit to make this quick and simple birthday card! The "happy birthday" was stamped and colored with Stampin' Write Markers on the Daffodil Delight cardstock before running it through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder!

Cathy used the "Inspired by Nature" set from page 104 of the Big Catalog to make this gorgeously stamped-on-vellum card! The butterfly is from "Great Friend" on page 122!

A masking and a brayering technique wer used on this card using the oldie-but-goodie favorite, "Lovely as a Tree" from page 114!

Easter is late this year, but it's not too soon to be thinking about getting ready! Cathy used a masking technique again to stack these adorable little chicks from "A Good Egg" on page 48! She also added a little shadowing around each one with her Aquapainter and Basic Gray ink!

Until next time, have a Stampingrox! day!
