Patterned Occasions – Carol Payne Stamps

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?

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!

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!

Stampin’ Up! Patterned Occasions Mambo Birthday!

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Monday morning to you! In a few minutes I will be heading out for a "Liam Day", but before I go, I just wanted to share with you this second card from my "CampJustWannaStamp" this past Saturday. We used the free Sale-a-bration set, Patterned Occasions again for this one, only this time we used the elephant to make a "Mambo Birthday" card!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Why Mambo? When my youngest son, Benjamin, was a little guy, (he's almost 6 foot tall now!) he LOVED elephants and his favorite movie was the Disney Classic "Dumbo". For some reason we never knew, he called all elephants "Mambos" from that point on!

This card is almost exclusively Sale-a-bration, from the Vine Street Textured Impressions Folder on the Crumb Cake cardstock, the Sycamore Street Designer Paper, to the Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack. The only non-SAB items are the punches used (2 1/2" Circle and 2 3/8" Scallop Circle), the Calypso Coral Baker's Twine, and the "happy birthday" from Made for You!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This birthday inside phrase is from Delightful Dozen, which makes a delightful completion to this card! lol!

Well, I'd better get off here and head to Liam's house! Looking forward to spending the day with him!
