Stampin’ Up! Silver Glimmer Christmas Tree!

Posted on August 7, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! We are in full Liam-mode around here! Nothing is safe from a 12-month-old! He makes me realize how far my house has come from being toddler-proofed! Needless to say, it's rapidly getting more "proofed" all the time!

I spent most of yesterday before Liam arrived running errands, helping Ben select his first i-phone, and getting groceries. I realized I hadn't done a serious supermarket run since before Oakley was born 3 weeks ago!

Today's card is one I created on Monday for my Christmas Card Class this coming Saturday. It's a pretty simple card, just some Pewter heat-embossing for the greeting from the Carryover List set Greetings of the Season and Silver Glimmer Paper strips. The addition of the Red Glimmer Paper Itty Bitty Shapes circles and the Silver Merry Minis Punch Pack star make it really festive!

Midnight Muse is the card base and focal image layer. I added the 1/2" wide Silver Glimmer "tree branch" strips with Tombow glue, as well as 1/2" Silver Glimmer strips around the edges of the Midnight Muse layer with the same adhesive. I wanted give the look of a solid mat of Silver Glimmmer paper behind the Midnight Muse layer without cutting full layers of the glimmer paper, so opted for the 1/2" strips. I think it looks pretty good, what do you think?

The inside verse is from another Carryover List set, More Merry Messages, stamped in Midnight Muse ink.

That's all for now! If you are planning to come to class on Saturday, please RSVP soon!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Soiree!

Posted on July 6, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I know it's early July, but I can't resist showing you one of the cards for my Christmas Card Class/Club next week! It's a CASE of a card by Nancy Leedy using the Snowflake Soiree and More Merry Messages stamp sets. Both sets are not shown in the catalog but are available on the Carryover List!

The card base and third layer is Pool Party, and the ink colors are Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party, and Versamark! All the "bling" of this card is from the Silver Embossing Powder, Silver Glimmer Paper layer, and Basic Jewel Rhinestones! I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement of the "Christmas Blessings" greeting.

The stamping technique is Triple Time Stamping, a technique that looks complicated, but is actually VERY EASY and FUN!

Inside is another phrase from More Merry Messages, and the same stamps and inks!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I will be back tomorrow! Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! More Merry Messages!

Posted on December 11, 2012 by Carol Payne

This card is a very simple, clean, vintage card that has been a favorite with my stamping friends this season. While "simple", "clean", and "vintage" don't really sound like they go together, this card really does fit all of those categories!

This card was a swap, but I'm not sure if it was a swap from Founder's or my monthly swap I participate in, but whoever created it really did an outstanding job! It's hard to do vintage without getting carried away with embellishments, but she held herself in and created the perfect combination when she embossed the Core'dinations Early Espresso cardstock with the Lacy Brocade Folder then lightly sanded it with the new Sanding System to expose the lighter core. The addition of the Champagne Glimmer paper cut with the Tasteful Trim Die and the Cherry Cobbler 3 1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon make this card really pop but are easy to add with Tombow and Glue Dots!

She finished the front with a greeting from More Merry Messages, a new Christmas favorite of mine!

The inside is finished with another simple yet effective phrase, the single wood-mount stamp from the Holiday Catalog, Heart of Christmas!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

That's all for today! Lots to do today. I only have one stamping party left before Christmas, for my good friend Tudy Hoffman at Nashville, IL, but of course there's lots to do just getting ready for Christmas with our family! I'm going to get my haircut today, something that is long overdue in more ways than one! ha! There's also a box of new stampin' goodies I have pre-ordered from the new spring Occasions catalog calling my name! I can hardly wait to start playing with them and sharing with you all!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Greetings of the Season and More Merry Messages!

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Carol Payne

Just a quick post today, my blog is finally back up and running! Although the projects I had posted prior to November 10th were still here, ALL the posts I had tried to posts since then were repeatedly lost! Everytime I tried to post, my blog platform (I don't totally understand it either) was throwing me out, back to my login, and the post would be gone! SO FRUSTRATING! I finally gave up for awhile, then emailed the blog people who told me I probably had a CORRUPT COOKIE???? WHAT are THOSE? Well, I had to wait for my son, Logan, to come home from college for Thanksgiving to show me how to FIND this cookie so we could delete it. Once we did that, voila! I am back to blogging!

Fun stuff going on with Stampin'Up! right now too, so I was really anxious about not being able to post! Check my side bars, my facebook page for all the details:

Here's a card from my Holiday Card Bonanza earlier this week using the Greetings of the Season stamp set and the Snow Flurry Bigz Die. The new Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder was used on the card base.

We used designer paper from the Snow Festival Designer Series Paper on the front and a verse from "More Merry Messages" (a stamp set from the Annual Catalog which is on sale right now for 25% off!)

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

The Mitten Punch finished off the inside. Demonstrators just received our Occasions Catalog beginning January 3, 2013 and it includes a list of Holiday Catalog products that are being carried over, which means you will still be able to order them after the Holiday catalog is over and the Mitten Punch IS NOT ON THE CARRY OVER LIST! So if you were waiting to order this punch, don't, it could be gone before the Holiday Catalog is over, you never know!

That's all for today. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with another post (as long as my cookies don't get corrupted again! lol!)

Have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Rock n’ Roll Ornament Keepsakes!

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Carol Payne

I love the "Holiday Frame" embossing folder in the Holiday Catalog, and I love pairing it with the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set and the Holiday Ornament Framelits! This card is one we will be making at my Punch/Technique Classes in November, so I thought it would be good to share it with you all now!

The "Rock n' Roll" Technique is an easy one, but so pretty! You start with your lightest color, in this case Tempting Turquoise, and ink the entire stamp with that color. You do not stamp your paper yet. Instead, you ink just the outer edges of the same stamp with a darker color, this time Island Indigo. In order to ink all the outer edges, you will "rock n roll" the edges in an almost circular motion on the inkpad. After you have "rock n' rolled" all the edges, then you stamp your image on paper. Voila! A gorgeous, two-toned look!

Note: Be sure to clean your stamp on your Stampin' Scrub before inking the stamp in your lightest color of ink again!

"Merry Christmas" greeting is from "Petite Pairs", punched out with the Modern Label Punch.

A Basic Jewel Rhinestone adds just the right touch of bling!
