Stampin’ Up! Hexagon Hive and Nature’s Hello!

Stampin’ Up! Hexagon Hive and Nature’s Hello!

Hey there! I've been working on the dreaded taxes all day, but I had to switch to stamping after supper. I just couldn't stand it any more. I have a few more days until they have to go to the accountant, so I took a "stamping break"!

Quite often when I'm playing with a new product, I have more ideas than one card can hold, so if I have time I make another version. Such is the case with today's sample. I showed yesterday's and today's cards to my husband and his remark was, "they are the same . . . but different":

Stampin_up_natures_hello

Two of the main differences: I used the flower from Natures Hello instead of Secret Garden, and I used a different piece of Afternoon Picnic Designer Paper behind the Hexagon Hive Thinlet. I stamped the Hardwood on the Hexagon Hive with Crumb Cake ink on the Sahara Sand. It gives it the look of old weathered barn siding.

Stampin_up_lovely_romance

I used a sentiment from Lovely Romance for the inside. I did not re-ink the Hardwood background before stamping on the inside layer. I just "huffed" on the stamp to re-moisten the ink before stamping. It gives it just a hint of the hardwood look but doesn't compete with the sentiment.

Here's yesterday's sample side by side with todays:

Stampin_up_hexagon_hive_two

Which one do you like the best? Leave me a comment, I really want to know!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, Valentines, One More Time!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day, Valentines, One More Time!

Hey there! Earlier this week I received my monthly packet of swaps. It took me about a day and a half to find the time to open it, but when I did I was not disappointed! Today I'm going to share the valentines that were in the packet. Next Sunday I will share some of the other fantastic swaps that were in there, but for today here goes:

Stampin_up_take_care_language_of_love

First, a really sweet and simple one from Barb Dykhouse. Barb tore a piece of paper, then laid it on the Whisper White layer and sponged ever-so-gently with Smoky Slate ink. She stamped the tree branch from Take Care next, then stamped and punched out the little hearts from the Language of Love set with the Small Heart punch. She then added the "heartstrings" with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. LOVE it!

Stampin_up_love_you_to_the_moon

This was another swap I received at Leadership by Michelle Suit. Michelle used the Love You to the Moon stamp set, pairing it with Fresh Prints Designer Paper and the On Film Framelits. The tiny hearts were punched with the Owl Builder Punch! Cute!

DSC_0289

Karen Kurz created this one with the Perfect Pennants stamp set, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, and Envelope Punch Board. She punched the seemingly dozens of hearts with the Small Heart punch from Silver Glimmer, Champagne Glimmer, and Red Glimmer Paper. The Soft Sky heart in the background was punched with the Full Heart Punch.

Stampin_up_petite_petals

I swapped with Linda Wright at Leadership for this one! Real Red cardstock, Fresh Prints DSP, Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, Petite Petals stamps and punch and Labels Collection Framelits combine to create a quick and perky valentine!

Stampin_up_flowerful_heart

Katy Simecka used the Flowerful Heart wood-only stamp (still available unti February 14th!) with Retro Fresh Designer Paper, Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim, and a banner from the Perfect Pennants set for her valentine offering.

Stampin_up_banner_blast

Tamie Ackerson used the free SAB set, Banner Blast with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder and a Delightful Dozen greeting. She added a Red Glimmer Small Heart for her finishing touch!

Stampin_up_best_of_love

Last but definitely not least, Ruth Bingle used Whisper White Cardstock Vellum over the "love" stamp from Best of Love (still available until March 31st) to give a frosted, elegant look! I also love the crisp textured look of the wavy Fresh Prints paper under the Whisper White Small Heart-punched layer. Ruth added a litle bit of Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon tied in a bow. Simply perfect!!!!!

That's all for now. It's not too late to order Valentine stamps! To shop and place your order (and choose a free Sale-a-bration item when your merchandise total reaches $50!) click HERE to go to my Online Store.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Yes, Mam’s Downline Meeting Swaps!

Stampin’Up! Yes, Mam’s Downline Meeting Swaps!

Hey there! I had a fun but busy Sunday! First, I helped in the nursery at church during the morning service. I do this once a month, partnering with my daughter, Jessica. It's always fun, but right now there's a bunch of little guys in there, including two of my grandsons, Jaxon and Liam, that make it even better!

After Sunday dinner at my house with 4 of my kids in attendance, I went back to my church to set up for the quarterly meeting of my Yes, Mam! Stampers!

I set up my display of my Leadership Board and more samples:

DSC_0095

Our main activity was a Shoebox Swap:

Stampin_up_downline_meeting_1

Stampin_up_downline_meeting_2

Everyone is concentrating (and enjoying!) making each other's cards!

Here's a few of our creations of the day:

Stampin_up_by_the_seashore_michelle_daschka_1

Michelle Daschka's "By the Seashore" creation, complete with a real sea shell!

Stampin_up_owl_builder_punch_michelle_daschka_1

Michelle also brought these little treat cup favors for everyone! She found the cups in the grocery store, then used her Owl Builder Punch to create coordinating little tags for a festive look!

Stampin_up_chalk_talk_angie_lisk_1

Angie Lisk used the Chalk Talk stamp set and Framelits Bundle, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, and the colors of Crumb Cake, Real Red, Coastal Cabana, and Whisper White!

Stampin_up_chalk_talk_angie_lisk_2

Inside she used the Envelope Liner Framelit Die to create a gift card holder with more stamps from the Chalk Talk set.

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_martha_swift_1

Martha Swift created a card with two options using the Regarding Dahlias stamp set, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, 3/16" Corner Rounder Punch, Encore Gold Metallic ink, and Gold Foil Paper. You could make this portrait version using the Starburst Framelits to cut the flower layers.

Stampin_up_regrding_dahlias_martha_swift_2

Or you could make the card landscape, hand-cutting the dahlia with Paper Snips, then punching Basic Black flower layer with the Blossom Punch, the next dahlia layer with the Pansy Punch, the next Basic Black layer with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch, and the final dahlia layer with the scallop circle Itty Bitty Shapes Punch.

Stampin_up_thoughts_and_prayers_collage_linda_reaney_1

Linda Reaney's creation uses a bunch of stamps with Rich Razzleberry and Always Artichoke ink: Flower Shop, Petite Petals (Occasions), En Francais background, and Thoughts and Prayers! The "happy Birthday wishes" is from Petite Pairs. All the stamping is on Naturals Ivory, then layered on Always Artichoke and finally a Rich Razzleberry card base. She added a bit of Victoria Crochet Trim for the perfect final touch!

That's all I have for you today. There are a few more swaps to share, but I'm saving them for tomorrow! Oh, and in case you are wondering, the Tangerine Tango Stampin' Up!  Inspire, Create, Share bag is from the Make & Take Session at Leadership. All attendees received one! Stampin' Up! is so good at giving little perks like these!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
