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

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!

Stampin’Up! Hey There Friend, Revisited!

Stampin’Up! Hey There Friend, Revisited!

Good morning to you! Just a quick post today! I have lots on my plate, including a Stamp Camp at the GrandOArt Studio in West Frankfort tonight!

We are making 5 projects for the $15 fee, so come out and have some inexpensive stamping therapy with us!

The March Paper Pumpkin Kit, which is also the first kit anyone will receive from now on as their first "Welcome Kit", contains the awesome stamp, "hey there friend"! I showed you a card I had CASED from Diana Gibbs a few days ago HERE, and loved this card so much I decided to switch out the focal image stamp and use it again tonight:

Do you likey? I DO! I thought the chair stamp from Cherish Friendship would work nicely in place of the antique tricycle, what do you think? And I love the splotchy-waterdrop-splash stamp, it looks great in Sahara Sand ink!

This time I also added the flower from Oh Hello to bring just a bit more color to the inside!

Well, that's all for today! Come back and see me again tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Love “Read My Lips”!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Love “Read My Lips”!

Good morning! Can I just say, while I am always a little sad when Sale-a-bration is over for the year, if SAB this year went on much longer I'd be worn down to a nub? Seems like everyone decided to cram their final SAB workshop into this week! (pay no attention to the whining, I'm actually having a blast!)

One of my workshop hostesses last night, Rhonda, is a Mary Kay Consultant, so I customized a Fancy Favor Box for her using the "read my lips" stamp from the February 25th Anniversary stamp set, Best of Love!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I quite delighted with it, so much so that I need to  make another one for myself!

Supplies used: Pink Pirouette & Basic Black cardstock, Fancy Favor Box BigzXL Die with the Big Shot, Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder, Paper Daisies, Vintage Faceted Buttons, 1/8" Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Basic Black & Melon Mambo ink, Hearts A Flutter Framelits, Stamping Sponges, and Crystal Effects!

An aerial view:

Here's a close-up of the lips with Crystal Effects on them to make them raised and shiny:

That's all for now! I have 22 swap fronts waiting for me to finish them before I head to Nashville, IL tonight for my final SAB workshop, then tomorrow morning it's off to St. Louis Stampin' Up! Regional!

Until tomorrow (if I survive), have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Torn Masking and French Foliage!

Stampin’ Up! Torn Masking and French Foliage!

Today's sample is from my February swap stash. This card was made by Sherri Beyrer and reminds me of the card I showed you back in October 2012 here.

Sherri beyrer
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Beautiful card, isn't it? And even though I usually think of French Foliage as a fall stamp set, it works perfectly for the "masculine" theme of last month's swap! I especially love the additional leaf she cut out and attached (it's covered in Crystal Effects although you can't tell from this photo) and how she embossed the whole top  layer with the Woodgrain Folder after she was finished with the torn masking and stamping.

That's all for today! I'm swamped this week with end-of-Sale-a-bration parties 4 out of the 5 weekdays this week, then I'm off with my downline to the Stampin' Up! St. Louis Regional this Saturday! I need to get some swaps made, so hopefully I will have some new creations to share with you soon! And after Saturday I will have some swap board samples AND fresh swaps to share!

Don't forget! You can go to my website any time, night or day, to order Stampin' Up! products:

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

If you order before Friday at midnight you will receive the three tutorials to create fun 3-D items using the Simply Sent Happy Hello Kit FREE from me! This freebie is for everyone who orders from me Online, no matter the size of the order! (but remember, for every $50 you order through Friday you can also choose a free Sale-a-bration item too!)

So until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Basically all the same products as yesterday's card, with a Baja Breeze base Sycamore Street Designer Paper, and Vine Street Textured Impressions Folder! "Thinking of You" is from You Are Loved, and the Calypso Coral brad is from the Designer Printed Brads Pack. The ribbon for the bow is part of the Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack, free right now with a $50 order!

Sale-a-bration ends on Friday, March 22nd, so don't delay getting your order in and claim your free stamping stuff!

I did the inside a little different, with a birthday wish card  stamped with Petite Pairs to pull out of the gift card pocket:
