Stampin’ Up! Under My Umbrella!

Stampin’ Up! Under My Umbrella!

Hey there! January is a catch-up month for me. I try to use this month to put away all of my Christmas stuff (except for snowmen, who stay on display until at at least the end of February), as well as try to get some projects done that I don't have time for in the fall.

That said, I'm working right now on stamping projects for the next three months so I am ready when my newest granddaughter arrives on February 3rd (scheduled c-section).  Today I want to share with you the card I created for my Yes Mam! Stamper's meeting last Saturday. We had a Shoebox Swap and had a blast making each other's cards!

For my Shoebox Swap I used the new Under My Umbrella Bundle from page 42 of the Spring Mini Catalog with From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper (pg 9 of the Spring Mini) I used the Umbrella Builder Punch to punch out the umbrella and the handle. I used my Paper Snips to cut out the rain boots.

I did a little bit of white heat embossing on the Real Red greeting strip to give a negative-image look to contrast with the blooms I stamped on the white background  with Real Red ink. I dry embossed a layer of Flirty Flamingo with the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder to give a look of raindrops.

Stampin’ Up! Dress Framelits and Puzzle Piece Resist!

Happy Monday Morning! It's a "Liam Day" today, so I will be out of here in a few minutes, but just wanted to show you this little gem from Technique Class Saturday!

Puzzle piece 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

It's a fun technique called "Puzzle Piece Resist"! It's usually achieved by clear embossing images on your cardstock, cutting out the "puzzle pieces", sponging one color on the outer frame, and sponging another color on the puzzle pieces. However, I decided to simplify the process by using the Naturals Compostion Specialty paper which is already clear embossed, then instead of sponging color I used a brayer! Easy Peasy!

Puzzle piece 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used a greeting and verse from You Are Loved again. I'm really loving this set! I also miniaturized the Vanilla Flower Trim flower by heating it with my Heat Tool to shrink it!

Puzzle piece 4
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

While I was shrinking my flower I held it down with an old stylus so it wouldn't blow away!

Guess I'd better get going! Don't want to be late for Liam!

Don't forget, today is the LAST DAY to take advantage of the FREE SHIPPING!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Little Hedgehog!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Little Hedgehog!

Good morning! On a bright & happy Sunday morning I want to share this happy little girl with you! "Hedgie" was another one of our projects for my Punch/Technique Class yesterday:

Hedgie 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Isn't she just darling? She is a CASE of a swap my downline, Angela, received at the St Louis Regional. When everyone at our table saw it, they immediately asked me to make her for my next Punch Class. I said, "No problem"!

A few days later when I went shopping with my girls I found the wiggle eyes at the "H" store. They were a necessity for Hedgie's feminine look!

Hedgie 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Her body is two 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punches which have been sponged with White Craft ink. Her head is a 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch that has had 4 of the scallops punched off with an oval punch like this:

Hedgie 4
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The remaining circle has been attached to a Crumb Cake Blossom Petals Punch largest petal.

Hedgie 6
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Her nose is the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack circle, her feet are the smallest petal from the Blossom Petals Punch, and her bow is from the Owl Builder Punch heart.

That's all for today! Don't forget the FREE SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING that is still going on today and tomorrow!

Until next time, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Cuddles & Kisses!

Stampin’ Up! Cuddles & Kisses!

I took a lot of pictures of the presentation and swap boards at the Stampin' Up! St. Louis Regional a couple of weeks ago, and as you know have been sharing those samples with you every few days in between sharing my own creations. Today, however, I am able to share a swap board sample that I actually created!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I'm still scratching my head over this one, as while I created this swap, I don't remember how it came to be on the Stampin' Up! board! Oh well, it's there and I was delighted to see it on display. I used the Occasions Catalog set, Cuddles and Kisses, Labels Collection Framelits, the Cloudy Day Textured Impressions Folder, Melon Mambo 3/8" Striped Organdy Ribbon, and the hearts strip from the Delightful Details Textured Impressions Folders set.

I hope to have the chance to do so creating and stamping today. It's
been THREE WHOLE DAYS since I held a stamp in my hand, and I'm having
stamp-withdrawl! If I do, and it's definitely on my "to do" list, I will be sharing my creations with you here!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Fancy Fold Swallowtail!

Stampin’ Up! Fancy Fold Swallowtail!

Good Morning! It's a "Liam day" today, so I will be off to see him in a few! But before I go I wanted to share this unusual-fold card I snapped a picture of at Regionals. It is really intriquing and different, I hope to create my own soon!

Fancy fold swallowtail 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

A full circle folded in half, then the right side has been cut and folded stair-step style! I've never seen anything like it before! The Swallowtail stamp has been gorgeously heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Baja Breeze cardstock, then sponged with more Baja Breeze ink for depth!

Fancy fold swallowtail 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

A side view reveals a simple cut in the cardstock, then a couple of small folds to create the perch for the Beautiful Wings butterfly!

Well, I'm off to Liam's! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Owl Ribbon Card and Our Family Easter Celebration!

Yesterday was a fun day! Let me share with you a few snapshots of the day:
The waiters
 Maddie Kate, Ava, and Cohen waiting for Jaxon to get a chance to find a few eggs before we let them go at it! (Liam was napping)
Jaxon 2
Jaxon was a bit confused, "what is this doing out here?"
Jaxon 3
"Oh, you want me to put it in here?"
The hunters
Then we let the rest of them loose! Ava and Cohen were in hot competiton for those eggs!

Liam and Cohen managed to acquire pumpknots on their heads at the same time with the same toy! Not an easy thing to accomplish, at 5 years and 8 months! They were fine, just have red bumps!

I have one fun card to show you today. This cute little owl was a swap my downline, Angela, received at the Regional!

The creator, (have no idea who) used current and retired ribbons for the feathers! Cute idea to use up ribbon scraps!

That's all for now! Hope you have a Stampingrox! day!
