Stampin’ Up! My Friend!

Stampin’ Up! My Friend!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Busy day yesterday! I finalized intineraries for the Stampin' Up! cruise in May, Stampin' Up! Inspire, Create, Share 2014 in mid-July, and a family vacation, also in July, then took care of Jessica's kiddos while she & her hubby went on spur-of-the-moment date!

Here's the card I have for you today:

Stampin_up_my_friend_1 - Copy

A Midnight Muse card base, layered with Whisper White, then a layer of Midnight Muse Core'dinations embossed with the Beautifully Barouque Textured Impressions Folder and lightly sanded with the Stampin' Sanding Block for more design definition.

Stampin_up_my_friend_2 - Copy

I inked the foliage stamp from My Friend first with Coastal Cabana, then sponged MIdnight Muse over the leaves, gradually sponging less as I reached the outer ends. After spritzing with water, I stamped on Whisper White. I stamped "Celebrate Today" from  Perfectly Penned with Midnight Muse, adhered to a layer of Coastal Cabana, then adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For more dimension I added Crstal Effects to the outermost leaves, keeping the card flat for several minutes to allow it to dry. My final touch was a Midnight Muse In Color Dahlia.

Stampin_up_my_friend_3 - Copy
  Inside is a RIOT of dimension! Three Whisper White lattices cut with the Lattice Die,  one attached to each side. The third is scored in the middle so the card will close. Leaves were cut with the Secret Garden Die, and flowers and butterflies were punched from Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper. Pearls and a phrase from Really Good Greetings are the finishing touch.

That's about it for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Punched Birdies Celebrate!

Stampin’ Up! Punched Birdies Celebrate!

Posted on by Carol Payne

I found this adorable birdie punched card idea somewhere, but once again, I can't remember who! I did change it up a bit, using "Summer Smooches" Designer Paper for the little birdie hats and "celebrate" from the Holiday Catalog stamp set "Seasonal Sayings". One thing I love about that set is that you can purchase any ONE single stamp out of it right now, and tomorrow, Monday, October 29, it will be 15% off!

Birdies 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

On the inside, I used another stamp, "Happy Birthday", from "Perfecty Penned", another set that you can purchase the stamps as a group or separately! Once again, these stamps, as all of our stamps, are on sale tomorrow! I can hardly wait!

Birdies 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

The little tiny birdies following along in a line are from "Itty Bitty Bits", and yup, you guessed it, they are on sale tomorrow too!

The birdies are punched with the 1 3/4" Circle, 1 3/8" Circle, and 1" Circle punches. The wings are from the Bird Builder punch, and their beaks and party hats are both from the Petite Pennants Builder Punch.

Here's a quick idea for punching the curved part of the hats:

Birdies 3
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

Start with one of the straight-sided punched pennants. Inset the bottom of the pennant into the 1' Circle Punch from INSIDE the circle as shown below. When you have the pennant inserted as deeply as you want, punch the circle and it will shape the bottom of the hat. I used the same pennant and the same punch for all three sizes of hat. I just changed the depth of my punching to create hats of varying sizes!

That's all for now! Today we are celebrating two of my daughter's birthdays with a family dinner. My oldest, Jessica, had her birthday in September, and Alisa's was October 18th. Today is the first chance we have had for the whole family to get together! I'm looking forward to some great family memories around our table this afternoon!

Don't forget the 15% off sale tomorrow! I know you probably find it hard to believe, but there ARE some Stampin' Up! stamps I do not own! That little anomaly will probably be rectified tomorrow!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!

Stampin’ Up! Pleasant Poppies!

Stampin’ Up! Pleasant Poppies!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Today I am featuring a new background stamp, Pleasant Poppies! For the first time with this new catalog several of our background stamps are available in both clear and wood mount, and this is one of them! My downline, Angela Henson, created this card as one of her swaps for convention. Angela has only been a demonstrator since March 2011, but already has promoted from Associate, to Senior Associate, Supervisor, Senior Supervisor, and now Manager! I am so proud of her! She also used the sentiment from "Field Flowers", Pumpkin Pie cardstock and ink, and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

Shannon Bradley stamped the poppies on First Edition Specialty Designer Paper with Cherry Cobbler ink, then complemented it with Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon, Cherry Cobbler Regals brads, and a Lots of Tags Sizzlet tag! She also embossed the "get well" phrase from "Perfectly Penned" in Pewter Embossing Powder before punching with the Extra Large Oval Punch.

Shoni Matney stamped the poppies in Summer Starfruit ink before adding all the butterfly layers using the "Beautiful Butterflies" Bigz Die with Summer Starfruit & Midnight Muse cardstocks, Patio Party DSP, and a Windowsheet! She added the "things of you" from "Sweet Essentials".

Stampin’Up! Today Is the Last Day to order from the Occasions Mini!

Today is the last day to order from the Occasions Mini AND the last day for the Summer Smooches Sneak Peek! Here's a swap from the Spring Into Stamping Event I attended this month using the "Bright Blossoms" stamp set and the "Summer Smooches" Designer Paper and Fabric! I've had these on my camera for more than a week and today was the first chance I've had to download them!

I love this swap, but wasn't able to bring the real thing home with me so I don't know who the creator was! The "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" greeting is also from a set that will be unavailable after today, "Loved Ones"!

I have a BUNCH of great stamping idea pictures from this event which I will be sharing a few over the next week or so. Here's a full card that someone made for the "Spring Into Stamping" leader Kim Peck. Kim is moving from Central Illinois to California, so everyone was signing this "we will miss you, friend" card:

Mixed bunch 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

This was a large 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" card using an entire 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock base folded in half. No envelope was needed as this was hand-delivered to Kim at the end of this event. The creator used the "My Friend" and "Perfectly Penned" stamp sets, which are not retiring, but also used the "Mixed Bunch" stamp set to create the lacy butterfly, which will be unavailable after today!

I have one last order going in for this month tonight at 10 p.m. CST, so if there are some Occasions Mini or Summer Smooches items you need to order, just contact me by phone or email and I will get them ordered for you!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" day!

Stampin’ Up! Blossom Punch Strikes Again!

Stampin’ Up! Blossom Punch Strikes Again!

Posted on by Carol Payne

I really am in love with my Blossom Punch from the Occasions Mini! I love it so much I actually own three! I've been really using it at just about every workshop these past few months, as my stampers are crazy for it too! Here's another cool idea with this punch, using it to create "negative space" on your card!

Negative space punching 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

Although this card looks "fussy", it actually turned out to be a pretty CAS (Clean-and-Simple) card for my stampers at the White Street church last night, so I think I will do it again at my next workshop! We used the Blossom Punch (of course!), and the Boho Blossoms Punch. I love the idea of using the "negative space" created after the punched piece is removed, and then in the case of the inside of the card, stamping in the negative space:

Negative space punching 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

It made me laugh to add the "no matter what" to the admonishment on the front to "Get Well", which are stamps from the Petite Pairs and Perfectly Penned sets. I think if I received a card like this one I would know that I had no other option except to get well, wouldn't you?????

Well, I have to get ready, it's "workout" day at Jessica's and I have to be there before 8 a.m.! (yes, it's official, I DO MOVE!)

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox! Day!"
