Stampin’Up! The Bees’ Knees & Good As Gold!

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm so excited that it's finally Sale-a-bration time! I have a couple of fun cards to show you, one created with the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio digital cardmaking and scrapbooking software, and one with a fun FREE kit in the Sale-a-bration catalog!

First, I received this card a few days ago from the girl at Stampin' Up! who was in charge of the Share Fair at Leadership!

When I first opened the card, I thought, "hmmm, what is this about?" but then I looked a bit more closely:

Then I opened the card:

It made me laugh! Then I read Katie's note:

This is EXACTLY what Stampin' Up! is all about, whether it is a digitally-created card from My Digital Studio or a hand-stamped one, making someone's day with a personally created and written card!

I do have the MDS program, and I've worked with it a bit, but not enough to really see all the fun things it can do! I'm inspired to find out which download this "bees knees" is a part of and try my hand at it again!

Next, in honor of Sale-a-bration I have a card I put together in a snap with the "Good as Gold" card kit from the SAB brochure:

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CARD IS FROM THE KIT, including the envelope and the shine Gold Foil liner!

The banners are pre-printed, the card base has shiney gold dots, the gold banners are pre-cut and the star is ready to punch out! It even includes the stretchy elastic gold string and the Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine! There are enough components in the kit to make 8 full cards with the envelopes!

The Gold Foil liners are separate from the envelopes in the kit, so I cut off a strip from the bottom edge and then adhered it to the inside of the card for a little bit of continuity!

These cards are really gorgeous! I thought they looked a bit flat and boring when I looked at them in the Sale-a-bration brochure, but when they came in my pre-order I found them to be so easy, quick, AND CUTE!

The BEST thing about this kit is that it can be yours for FREE! YES! Just click HERE to go to my Online Store! When your order total before tax & shipping is $50, you can choose the "Good As Gold" card kit or one of 12 more FREE products! yay!

But that's not all! When your order totals $100 before ship & tax, you get to choose TWO free SAB products! AND when your order totals $150 before ship & tax, you get to choose THREE free SAB products AND you get to choose $25 in free catalog merchandise with your Hostess Benefits! Your order will ship direct to you, and I will send you a thank-you card and email you your Bluesox Rewards tokens to get you on your way to earning free stamps from me! yay!

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

Stampin’Up! In Colors Are a WOW!

Posted on June 2, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I had a fabulous day yesterday! All afternoon I had a houseful of good friends stamping, laughing, sharing, and shopping! It was a great day!

Today they are giving a shower for my daughter, Alisa's soon-coming baby Oakley! My brother and sister-in-law and my sister are coming down for it, so I am really excited! I don't get to see them very often, maybe only a couple of times a year, so it's a red-letter day when we get together!

I'm still fighting this crazy cough I've been having for the past two weeks. I'm thinking I may have to go back to the doctor for some stronger antibiotics. I even ran a fever again last night. That's gone this morning, so I hope it stays away today so I can go to the shower!

I know you are as tired of my sicki-ness as I am, so here's a beautiful illustration of our new In-Colors, followed by a few more virtual swaps:

This was created by Patty Bennet using our My Digital Studio program! Beautiful!

A fun "lollipop" card using all the new In-Colors and Label Love!

Sketched Birthday!

A sparkly Sketched Birthday!

I hope to shake this crazy cough soon and get back to creating for you!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! St Louis Regional!

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Carol Payne

Wowza! I just had a fantastic day with some of my downline, the Yes, Mam! Stampers, at the St Louis Regional!

From the top left to right: Jamie Cox, me, Angela Henson, Linda Reaney, Janice Felty, Martha Swift. I love spending time with these girls!

Today was a day of fun, inspiration, and learning! We watched some fun and EASY stamping presentations:

Had time to stamp some fun Make n Takes! This was the first time in a long time I was able to finish all of my Make n Takes (this is just one of the three for the day):

And an mid-afternoon "Cupcake Break"!

I had the honor of participating in a on-stage panel discussion with Stampin' Up!'s Donna Griffiths, and fellow demo, Jan Burnett:

All in all it was a lovely day of swapping, sharing, learning, stamping, and fun!

Well, it's off to church for me! I am so thankful for my job-it's always a blessing when you get to do what you love every day!

I will share more tomorrow! Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Punches Well Done!

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Carol Payne

Started working on April Punch and Technique Class last night. Here's the first one:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

And the inside:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

I'm pretty addicted to the clouds stamp from "Send Me Soaring" in the Occasions Mini, can you tell?

This card makes a perfect masculine birthday, BBQ invite, or Father's Day card! In case you are wondering where the "Well Done!" words are from, Stampin' Up! doesn't have an actual rubber stamp with this phrase, but they DO have My Digital Studio, which is where this was created and printed from!

That's all for today! Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

Gently Falling Samples!

Posted on September 4, 2011 by Carol Payne

Happy Sunday, Stampers! Thought I would speed up the process of showing you the swaps this month to give you a great Holiday Mini Kick-off by showing you all the Gently Falling Holiday Mini Catalog samples that came in my monthly swap the other day:

These are all made with the all 2-step stamping set, Gently Falling, on page 16-17 of the Holiday Mini. I received this set for free as part of a bundle that Managers and Senior Managers receive automatically during the pre-order period. This "telescoping" card was made by Brenda Hukriede:

Next, this sample by Jan Rodrian also uses Hand-Penned Holidays from page 15 of the same Holiday Mini!

This brilliant beauty also has shimmer over the leaves and is by Kathy Morgan! The button is from the Spice Cake Designer Buttons.

Katy Simecka did a great job with her swap:

My sweet friend Rhonda Bassler make this one! That gorgeous paper on the panel behind the stamped leaves is from the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper on page 16!

Susie Wood combined the Spice Cake Designer Paper with More Mustard, Early Espresso, and the new Early Espresso 3/8" Quilted Satin Ribbon from page 30 of the Holiday Mini!

I've saved the best of the fall cards for last! Megan Wheeler used My Digital Studio to combine the current stamp set, With Gratitude, with the Spice Cake Designer Paper. You probably can't tell in the photo, which doesn't do it justice, but she has used the new Pewter Embossing Powder from page 31 of the Holiday Mini with "Hand-Penned Holidays" and a Vintage Brad to make this a "hybrid" card! "Hybrid", in case you don't already know, is when you take the My Digital Studio-printed products and combine them with cardstock and accessories to merge the best of both worlds!

There will be a post tomorrow, so until then, have a "stampingrox!" day!
