Stampin’ Up! Apothecary Art!

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Friday! I'm really looking forward to the weekend! My dear Sister-in-law, Debbie, is coming for an overnight visit with her daughter, Amanda, and baby grandson, Logan!

If you've read my blog much, you probably know that I also have a son named Logan. He is a 6'2", 22-year-old chemistry student at Missouri S&T in Rolla, MO, and he just happens to be home this weekend too!

I was honored when Amanda asked me if I minded that she named her son Logan because she had always loved the name, so I'm excited to have "little Logan" to visit!

Today's card I created by request for a hostess next week using the Apothecary Art stamp set and the Label Collection Framelits:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The shape of this Baja Breeze card was cut with the Oval Accents Die and the Big Shot, then embossed with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Folder. I sponged Soft Suede ink all over to accent the embossed texture. The 5/8" Vanilla Flower Trim was colored with a Baja Breeze Stampin'Write Marker. The soft colored look for the flowers was achieved by scribbling the same Baja Breeze Marker on the top of a stamp box, then picking up the color with a Blender Pen and coloring the flowers. The Blender Pen dilutes and softens the marker ink, and then I added in darker accents in the flower centers with the marker direct to the paper:

Can you see the difference?

When you open the card you then have a "mini-card" inside!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Which then opens to this:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

So there you have it! I really like this card! I'm so glad my hostess requested this stamp set as I hadn't played with this set for awhile!

That's it for today! I'm going to Liam's this morning to play with him and watch the 3rd season of "Downton Abbey", which I am told is going to make me "freak-out" at the end, according to my two daughters who have already watched it. (I'll let you know tomorrow if I "freaked" or not!)

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

My 500th Blog Post! Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fancy Fold!

Posted on March 13, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I am especially excited today to be writing my 500th blog post! So excited that I am offering a Stampin' Up! Stampin' Trimmer as a gift to one lucky person who leaves a comment here on my blog today! I started this promotion yesterday in anticipation of my 500th post, but so far only ONE person has left a comment! I can hardly BELIEVE it! Everyone who comments today will get a chance in the drawing, so COME ON STAMPERS, leave me some comments!

In honor of this MOMENTOUS occasion (at least for me!) I created this card:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the card I showed you here back on the first of March as my template, then got busy changing the color scheme! I used Daffodil Delight cardstock for my base, Floral District Designer Paper, and the Secret Garden Bundle from the Occasions catalog.

Sometimes when I am creating from "scratch" it takes me a long time and sacrifices several pieces of cardstock before I am happy with the result, but this time the creative juices flowed freely and I had my sample to my pleasing in a very short amount of time!

I had been thinking that this type of fold would lend itself nicely as a gift-card holder, and I was right!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Folder, "Happiness" from Loving Thoughts, and the "just for you" from the Pop-up Posies Designer Kit to finish things off.

Well, how's that for a 500th blog post? I am so pleased to have reached the 500 mark, now it's on to 1000!

Don't forget to leave me a comment to get your name in the drawing for the Stampin' Trimmer!

I need to close for now, my son, Logan is coming home this evening for a long weekend from school, and my sister-in-law, Debbie is coming this weekend, so I have lots to prepare!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Patterned Occasions Latte Love!

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Tuesday stampers! I had an enjoyable day with Liam yesterday. Mondays are often a hard day for little guys because all of their routines are messed up by the weekend and especially Sundays. They just can't get all of their normal naps during church, which makes for a hard night on Sunday sometimes and a sleepy Monday. This was the case for Liam today, but he wasn't actually cranky, just snuggly more (which I sure didn't mind!), a little more attention-needy than normal (which I also didn't mind!) and took an extra nap today. Tonight and tomorrow he will be back to normal, but I don't go back to see him until Friday, sigh. . .

The third card we made Saturday used the cup stamp from Patterned Occasions, that fun, free Sale-a-bration set again! I've found this stamp used in alot of rich, earthy colors, but I wanted to try something a bit more feminine, and I believe I achieved just what I had in mind, what do you think?

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Basic Gray card base, Fancy Fan-embossed Pool Party layer, Tea Lace Doily, Floral Frames Framelit-cut Sycamore Street Designer Paper layer, and Pool Party 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon. The cup was stamped twice, once in Basic Gray on a Whisper White Floral Frames Framelit-cut layer, then again with Pool Party ink on a Whisper White scrap. The Pool Party cup has been hand-cut with Paper Snips and mounted with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Same color/paper scheme on the inside, with the greeting, Beautiful Birthday, stamped with Pool Party ink!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Overall a very quick and easy card!

Unfortunately for me, I had to take a break from my taxes and deal with my eyes and then my monthly class this past weekend, so my taxes are still NOT done! I plan to spend most of today tackling the paperwork to get them done, with a break in the evening to go to Galatia to stamp with those lovely ladies for my second Punch/Technique Class for the month!

Wish me luck to get my taxes done quickly so I can get back to stampin'!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
