Stampin’ Up! My Friend!

Stampin’ Up! My Friend!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Busy day yesterday! I finalized intineraries for the Stampin' Up! cruise in May, Stampin' Up! Inspire, Create, Share 2014 in mid-July, and a family vacation, also in July, then took care of Jessica's kiddos while she & her hubby went on spur-of-the-moment date!

Here's the card I have for you today:

Stampin_up_my_friend_1 - Copy

A Midnight Muse card base, layered with Whisper White, then a layer of Midnight Muse Core'dinations embossed with the Beautifully Barouque Textured Impressions Folder and lightly sanded with the Stampin' Sanding Block for more design definition.

Stampin_up_my_friend_2 - Copy

I inked the foliage stamp from My Friend first with Coastal Cabana, then sponged MIdnight Muse over the leaves, gradually sponging less as I reached the outer ends. After spritzing with water, I stamped on Whisper White. I stamped "Celebrate Today" from  Perfectly Penned with Midnight Muse, adhered to a layer of Coastal Cabana, then adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For more dimension I added Crstal Effects to the outermost leaves, keeping the card flat for several minutes to allow it to dry. My final touch was a Midnight Muse In Color Dahlia.

Stampin_up_my_friend_3 - Copy
  Inside is a RIOT of dimension! Three Whisper White lattices cut with the Lattice Die,  one attached to each side. The third is scored in the middle so the card will close. Leaves were cut with the Secret Garden Die, and flowers and butterflies were punched from Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper. Pearls and a phrase from Really Good Greetings are the finishing touch.

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

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Cards From Friends!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Cards From Friends!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Instead of my usual "Sunday Swap Day", I have a small collection of cards I have recently received from stamping friends/customers to share with you today. Let's get started!

Angie lisk

From Angie Lisk. I love the multiple pennants Angie cut and layered on this card. Pretty much all of the supplies are retired (Angie is a faithful customer!), with the exception of the three Candy Dots in the upper left. Candy Dots are a colorful way to add the look of brad without the holes to pierce or the bulk of the brad legs! Similar to Pearl or Rhinestone Basic Jewels, they are self-adhesive!

Becky anderson

From Becky Anderson. Becky's cards are always so calm and peaceful. She is a dear friend I do not get to see often enough!

Crystal lopez

From Crystal Lopez. Crystal is another faithful stamping friend. She used the current Stippled Blossoms and the "hello" from My Friend. Her color combo is Pool Party, Island Indigo, Gumball Green, Wisteria Wonder, and Rich Razzleberry. I love the splotches of color she created with reinker and a water mister! Crystal is a true color artist.

Meg wheeler
Last but not least, Meg Wheeler, my dear fellow demonstrator friend, created this lovely card. Meg used a bit of retired Sale-a-bration paper, then paired it with Papillon Potpourri stamps and the Bitty Butterfly punch (on sale this month!), as well as Ovals Collection Framelits. The "hey there friend" greeting is from the My Paper Pumpkin first monthly kit you receive when you subscribe, so it's still available!

That's all for now! Of course it's Sunday, and there will be lots of family here for lunch after church so I need to fly!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Hello, My Friend!

Stampin’ Up! Hello, My Friend!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Posting a little later than usual today, but I got in rather late from Lavon Gills' workshop in Fairfield, IL, last night. Had so much fun stamping and getting to know Lois, Joyce B.,Marty, Pat, Sandra,Joyce F.,Anita, Bonnie, & Cheryl!

Today's sample is another one we will be making this Saturday at my Punch/Technique Class here at my house. I CASED this from a sample on the Leadership display boards. I've been hoarding it and didn't show you the picture because I wanted to have you MAKE it! Isn't it so bright and cheery? Just what we need to pep us up on these gray, rainy (and sometimes snowy!) days!

Hello 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

These fun and easy flowers are made with all of the Scallop Circle Punches in the Stampin' Up! Catalogs, and then some! The leaves are from the Blossom Petals Builder Punch, and the centers are the Large Rhinestone Basic Jewels!

Hello 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The sentiments are both from the My Friend stamp set, which also contains more images that NEED to be used soon!

Cardstock colors are Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, and Gumball Green.

All in all, this easy, versatile card just makes me HAPPY!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Of course, all of these products can be found and ordered from my Online Store:

Stampin’Up! Today Is the Last Day to order from the Occasions Mini!

Stampin’Up! Today Is the Last Day to order from the Occasions Mini!

Today is the last day to order from the Occasions Mini AND the last day for the Summer Smooches Sneak Peek! Here's a swap from the Spring Into Stamping Event I attended this month using the "Bright Blossoms" stamp set and the "Summer Smooches" Designer Paper and Fabric! I've had these on my camera for more than a week and today was the first chance I've had to download them!

I love this swap, but wasn't able to bring the real thing home with me so I don't know who the creator was! The "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" greeting is also from a set that will be unavailable after today, "Loved Ones"!

I have a BUNCH of great stamping idea pictures from this event which I will be sharing a few over the next week or so. Here's a full card that someone made for the "Spring Into Stamping" leader Kim Peck. Kim is moving from Central Illinois to California, so everyone was signing this "we will miss you, friend" card:

Mixed bunch 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

This was a large 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" card using an entire 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock base folded in half. No envelope was needed as this was hand-delivered to Kim at the end of this event. The creator used the "My Friend" and "Perfectly Penned" stamp sets, which are not retiring, but also used the "Mixed Bunch" stamp set to create the lacy butterfly, which will be unavailable after today!

I have one last order going in for this month tonight at 10 p.m. CST, so if there are some Occasions Mini or Summer Smooches items you need to order, just contact me by phone or email and I will get them ordered for you!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" day!
