Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #2!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #2!

Good morning & happy Sunday! It's "Sunday Swap Day" today, so I will get right to sharing with you more of the swaps I received last month using new catalog products!

First up is a "wiper card" by Linda Pagel using the Giggle Greetings stamp set on page 29 of the new catalog:

When you pull the punched-out circle tabs on each end of the card, the "wiper" pops up with a greeting from Petite Pairs! FUN! I've never made one of these cards, but now that I have one, I will be able to "reverse engineer" it and figure it out! yay!

Next, a fun masculine card by Lorraine Duran using the Rev Up the Fun! stamp set on page 51 and the Chevron Textured Impressions Folder with aluminum foil adhered to cardstock. This is a gatefold card.

Finally for today, an encouragement card with the new Mosaic Madness stamp set on page 123 and the Blooming with Kindness set on page 65. The Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Folder pulls the Double Time stamping technique together very nicely!

Soft Suede ink stamped on Soft Suede cardstock paired with Midnight Muse ink & cardstock gives this card a calm and serene feel.

Well, that's all for now! Thanks for stopping in today. Hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Gingham Garden Teapot!

Stampin’ Up! Gingham Garden Teapot!

Good morning! I hope you are warm and dry today! I'm hoping for some drier (and a bit warmer) weather for awhile, we've had four straight days of rain around here and we are soaked!

Today I want to share a project that was demonstrated by Colleen Magness at the Demonstrator Share in Fiji, an adorable teapot made with Gingham Garden Designer Paper and the Oval Accents Die!

Gingham garden teapot
Isn't this just the MOST ADORABLE thing? I've put a teabag in it and added an Artisan Label-punched tag from the Label Love set, but a gift card would fit in here too!

We are making this little lovey at my SWOW Class on Friday and Saturday NEXT WEEK (the 12th & 13th) along with two more fun projects! RSVP to let me know you are coming, please!

That's all for now! I'm off to run some errands today, then I get to transport Maddie Kate to her Tumbling lesson this evening!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! (and dry!) day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Brides & Babies!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Brides & Babies!

Good morning! Today I have fun assignment! I'm picking up my granddaughter, Maddie Kate, from Camp Hope this morning to take her to her Cheerleading Practice! Her mom, Jessica, is a counselor at Camp Hope this week (it's Ava's first year as a camper; she is super-duper excited!), so she asked me to do the honors for her so she could stay at camp. This is 3rd/4th grade week, so the kids are pretty young and need alot more attention than other weeks (at this age they have to be directed to do just about everything!), so it's important she stay close to her room of little girls.

So YAY! I'm looking forward to spending a little time with MK today!

Today I'm sharing a "cute" little card using the Best of Brides & Babies 25th Anniversary set! The images in all of the "Best of" sets are miniatures of the originals, so sometimes they are actually easier to use than ever before!

Cute 1

I CASED this card from somewhere, if you know, please let me know so I can give proper credit, will you?

Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, & Whisper White give this card a feminine but bold look! It's hard to see in the picture, but I sponged some Illuminate Glimmer ink on the Crisp Cantaloupe Deco Label around the "cute" phrase to give it just a little bit more pop, and the onesie was stamped on Crisp Cantaloupe with Jet Black StazOn, then cut out to paper-piece. The tiny little heart on the onesie was highlighted with a White Gel pen.

Cute 2
Inside the teddy bears stamp from Best of Brides & Babies was used along the bottom, along with the words from One in a Million. A Small Heart punched from Crisp Cantaloupe was layered with a Basic Black heart punched with the Owl Builder punch and topped off with a Basic Jewel Pearl.

Well, that's all for now, I'm off to go pick up Maddie Kate! It should be a fun morning!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Yes, Mam! Shoebox Swap!

Good morning! Not much time to chat with you today, but I wanted to show you one of the cards we made last night at our "Yes, Mam!" Shoebox Swap last night! This one was created by Joyce Fisher. We used Gingham Garden Designer Paper, Label Love stamps and the Artisan Label Punch, Banner Greetings Hostess set, the Boho Blossoms Punch, Bird Builder Punch,  and Neutrals Glimmer Brads!

LOVE THIS CARD! It just makes me happy!

We used the "faux suede" technique to separate the layers of the Boho Blossoms flowers to create the multiple layers:

Stampin’ Up! Almost Home From Fiji! Did you know I now work at the airport?

Stampin’ Up! Almost Home From Fiji! Did you know I now work at the airport?

We've been virtually LIVING in airports for the past two days! Eating, sleeping, waiting, over and over. I am starting to feel WAY too at home here! I'm posting this morning from the waiting area at the D2 Terminal at the Cleveland, OH airport, but I want to share a story from yesterday at LAX.
Going home 4
No, I don't really work at the LAX airport, I'm just using the electrical outlet at this kiosk after the employee went home. It was located immediately next to our waiting area, so it was easy to just power up while doing a little sorting of my Fiji pics. What's really funny is that people started stopping as they were getting off flights and were asking me for information! REALLY? I'm wearing capris and a hoodie! Do I REALLY look like I work here? SERIOUSLY?????

I just kept on saying, "No, I'm sorry, I don't work here", to everyone who stopped by until suddenly this little woman from Peru came up and starting asking me in Spanish-Portugese-whatever-they speak in Peru about her flight. Well, I COULDN'T make her understand that I didn't work there, so when she waved her ticket at me, off we went to check the flight board. Turned out her terminal was right beside where we were so I directed her there. We were both SO HAPPY, she started saying "gracias" and patting my arm, so I started to give her a quick hug and she kissed my cheek! WOW! She really made my day! I don't remember her name, but I won't forget her anytime soon! Small miracles while you wait at the airport, huh?

It's almost time to board our FINAL flight to St. Louis, so I will close with this gorgeous card I received in the "Swap with Me!" sponsored by Stampin' Up! while in Fiji:


Stippled Oh Hello
All supplies are©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 

This swap was created by Vicky Kahlandt, a lovely new demo friend from Utah with a lovely English Accent! Vicky combined Stippled Blossoms with Oh Hello and Tea for Two Designer Paper from the Occasions Catalog.  She cut the ovals with the Ovals Collection Framelits, easy peasy! Both stamp sets will be in the new 2013-2014 Annual Catalog beginning May 31, but the Tea for Two Designer Paper will NOT, so better grab some before it's gone!

You can go HERE to order TODAY!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
