Stampin’ Up! NEW Catalog Sneak Peek and Dress Up Framelits Girly Card!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! We arrived home late last night, so it has taken me awhile to get things in order around here before I could blog!

All I can say about the Stampin' Up! Catalog Premiere last night is: AWESOME!!!!!!

I can't show you the inside yet, but the front cover should give you a hint of what's to come:

10151353_10203207538622306_5340578374675428972_n

Lots of new product Sneak Peeks on here! How many do you see?

Here's a short list of new products and announcements from last night:

  • Blendabillities: The first 6 sets of the Stampin Up Blendabilities alcohol markers will be available to demonstrators may 1, and to customers June 1!
  • New Fast Fuse adhesive. Think ‘sticky strip’ in an applicator like Snail adhesive. (both Snail and Sticky Strip adhesives are still available)
  • Dazzling Diamonds Glitter IS NOT DEAD! There was a scare on the retiring accessories list, but Dazzling Diamonds was actually only being re-configured, it is not going away!!!!!!WHEW!!!!!
  • Stampin Up Leadership 2015 will be held in Orlando, FL. January 29-31, 2015. All levels of Demonstrators will be able to attend. Join my team of Yes Mam! Stampers and take a trip to sunny Florida with me next January! You will never regret it!

Since it 's Tuesday, that means New Weekly Deals posted this morning:

10169258_10203051469641796_6508631662900158985_n

Two things that are exciting to me:

Merry Minis Punch Pack! This contains the star punch I used to make the Champagne Glimmer stars on my Catalog Premiere gifts I showed you yesterday HERE. 25% off!

The second thing I am excited about in this Weeks' Weekly Deals are the Dress Up Framelit Dies! These are the dies I used to make this card for my Girly Girls Class last week:

Stampin_up_dress_up_1 - Copy

I used two of the three dies in the set to help create this card!

Stampin_up_dress_up_2 - Copy

If you want to make your own version of this card, you NEED to order several of the items I used as ALOT of them are on the retiring list!

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

Stampin’ Up! 2014 New Catalog Premiere is Tonight!

Stampin’ Up! 2014 New Catalog Premiere is Tonight!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I am SO EXCITED!!!!! Tonight is the Stampin' Up! New Catalog Premiere! Six of my downline and I are taking a road-tripl to Hazelwood, MO (about two hours from here) to attend this brand-new-never-before-held event!

Stampin' Up! is broadcasting the live Catalog Premiere from a theater in Long Beach, California to selected locations around the U.S. The closest theater for us here in Southern Illinois was over in Missouri, so of course we signed up!

We will each receive our own copy of the New 2014 Annual Catalog, watch the broadcast where we will learn about new products from the Catalog, and hopefully receive  a little extra SWAG (new catalog product) too!

At every Stampin' Up! event I attend with my downline, I always give them a little gift for attending. I know it takes effort to prepare for the trip and to  leave family on their own at home. I've been there, done that for the 11+ years I've been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and so I want them to know how much I appreciate them:

(Stampin_up_star_stamper

I embellished empty wood-mount stamp boxes (which are available in packs of 4 for $6.95 in the Annual Catalog) with the black newsprint design from the Modern Medley Designer Paper pack (Modern Medley paper is retiring) and the logo that Stampin' Up! created to advertise the catalog premiere event.

Stampin_up_star_stamper_2

Patty Bennett, a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from California shared the logo on a Facebook group we are both members of. She had altered it slightly so I could insert each of my downlines' names! So cool! Thanks, Patty! I used a free online photo-editing website, www.picmonkey.com to insert the names.

Stampin_up_star (2)

After I added the names and printed them out on glossy brochure paper, I cut them out and adhered them to the black newsprint paper, which I had cut 11 1/4" x 8" so I could slide it under the clear plastic shield around the box. I then reduced the size of the photos so I could print them again and adhere them to the spine section of the paper. I was so pleased with the professional look! I added Champagne Glimmer paper stars that I punched with the star punch from the Merry Minis Punch Pack.

Stampin_up_star (1)

After I created and filled the boxes I just needed to make one more thing for them, so I covered these mini legal-sized notepads (I took them to Staples and had them cut them in half) with the same Designer Series Paper and Basic Black cardstock. I used an exclusive demonstrator-only stamp set we received at Leadership this year, Star Stamper, stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink, to create the medallion on the front.

I'm sure some of my downline check my blog or see my posts on Facebook, so although I'm posting the outside of my gift, I'm not sharing whats INSIDE  so there will still be some surprises tonight!

That's all for now! Tomorrow I will be able to show you the front of the catalog, but not the inside. The catalog doesn't officially go "live" for customers until June 1st, so I can't show you the inside pages until then.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Simple Stems Reverse Easel!

Stampin’Up! Simple Stems Reverse Easel!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have a fun new card fold for you today! I saw a card on Splitcoast that inspired me to use my Envelope Punch Board to create my own version. I call mine a "Reverse Easel":

Stampin_up_simple_stems_1 - Copy

I used the stamp sets Simple Stems and Petite Pairs with Basic Black, Coastal Cabana, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, and Modern Medley Designer Paper.

Stampin_up_simple_stems_2 - Copy

In this picture you can see one of the things that helps make my "reverse easel" card work, the tab I created with the Envelope Punch Board!

Stampin_up_simple_stems_4 - Copy

 Up close you can see I stamped my favorite bloom from the Simple Stems set first directly on the Very Vanilla oval, then stamped it again on a Very Vanilla scrap and cut it out with my Paper Snips. I sponged the edges with Coastal Cabana ink before mounting it over the first stamped image with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I love the tiny pearls I added to the center of the flower, and the paper-piercing I did with my Paper-Piercing Tool, Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack, and Stampin' Pierce Mat gives it the perfect finishing touch!

I have another reverse-easel card to show you, so be sure to come back tomorrow. I will also have a mini-tutorial of how to create a reverese-easel ready for you. Right now the pictures are still in the camera and it's getting too late to download and edit them tonight!

Here's your shopping list of supplies to make this card. Clicking on any of the products will take you to that product in my online store.

Please leave a comment or shoot me an email if you have any questions!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Simple Stems!

Stampin’ Up! Simple Stems!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Things have been pretty hectic around here the past few days, so much so that I finally sat down tonight and stamped something new:

Stampin_up_simple_stems_1 - Copy

I love the Simple Stems set in the Occasions Catalog, and this flower that I stamped with Melon Mambo ink in particular. Isn't it just gorgeous?

My color palette is Basic Black, Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla, and Melon Mambo, very fresh, lush, and spring-y!

Stampin_up_simple_stems_2 - Copy

I used sentiments from Blessings from Heaven inside and out.

Stampin_up_simple_stems_3 - Copy

I stamped and fussy-cut my favorite blossom with Melon Mambo on Very Vanilla. I added the tiniest pearls to the center of the bloom and randomly in the greeting.

Stampin_up_simple_stems_4 - Copy

I stamped the blossom on a piece of scrap paper, then cut it out with my Paper Snips to create a mask to cover the bottom row of stamped blossoms before stamping the second row. I put a bit of 2-way glue on the back of my mask, then let it air-dry to Post-it-Note consistency so I could cover, stamp, then remove the mask so it wouldn't harm my creation.

That's all for now. It's really late (1 a.m), so if I want to have any brains for my stamping tomorrow I had better get to bed!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day! Valentines!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there. It's late Saturday night and I'm hoping I'm past the danger zone for the flu. I'm still not holding my breath, but right now I still feel fine!

I have been sorting through more of my pictures from Leadership and found these Valentines I need to share with you before February gets here. I just took pictures of these so I don't know  who created them. If you do know (or are) the creator, please let me know so I can give you credit!

I DO know the creator of this one, my dear friend, Linda Hunt! I remember she swapped this with me because it is one of the few 3-D swaps I received. I love getting to see Linda at Stampin' Up! events. We've been friends ever since the Alaska cruise in 2011!

Stampin’Up! Chalk Talk Swap!

Stampin’Up! Chalk Talk Swap!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning and Happy Saturday! Today is the second day of my SWOW Class and Christmas Card Class! Yay!

Today I have a swap to share with you made with the Chalk Talk Bundle, which contains both the Chalk Talk stamp set and the Chalk Talk Framelits to cut them out. Each is sold separately, of course, but when you purchase them as a bundle you save 15%!

Chalk talk jackie ordway p

The colors in this swap are Coastal Cabana (I know it photographed the retired Bashful Blue, but it IS Coastal Cabana!) Basic Black, and Very Vanilla. Modern Medley Designer Paper is the vertical strip on the side, with a tiny bit of a Basic Black Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border peeking out. The Coastal Cabana layer has been embossed with the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Folder, and the Coastal Cabana "flourish" tag has been cut out with the Chalk Talk Framelits. The "for you" has been punched with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch, then layered on a Basic Black 1 3/8"-punched circle. Basic Jewel Rhinestones that have been colored with a Black Sharpie give tis card a little "bling"!

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