Stampin’ Up! Flower Patch for the 4th!

Stampin’ Up! Flower Patch for the 4th!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy 4th of July! I'm having one of the most hectic (and fun!) summers in a long time, which isn't leaving much time for blogging. I actually got up at 5:30 a.m. just  to post this, and if you know me at all you know I DON'T DO EARLY very well! LOTS going on at my house, all good, which means this summer is whizzing by, and by looking at my calendar, I don't think it's going to slow down.I leave for the Stampin' Up! Inspire, Create, Share Convention in less than two weeks, then a quick family vacation to French Lick, Indiana, then keeping my grandson, Jaxon, for a few days. Add in Punch & Technique Class, Christmas in July Classes, a handful of hostess stamping parties and July is completely BOOKED!

I created this card a few weeks ago using my new Flower Patch stamp set:

Stampin_up_flower_patch_1 - Copy

I was going for a fireworks-Fourth-of-July effect. What do you think?

The "celebration" image is from the Project Life Remember This set.

Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, and Real Red inks stamped on Whisper White.

After stamping and assembling I added a thin layer of clear Dazzling Details. It takes several minutes for this sparkly glue to dry so leave it laying flat.

Inside is a sentiment from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit inked with Stampin' Write Markers.

That's all for now. Low-key plans today. I will be stamping and my hubby will be farming, but we are continually thankful for our freedoms to decide how to spend our days!

Here's a supply list for my Online Store:

Stampin’ Up! Endless Birthday Wishes!

Stampin’ Up! Endless Birthday Wishes!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm sharing  another Birthday Card Buffet sample, Endless Birthday Wishes:

Stampin_up_endless_birthday_wishes_1 - Copy

I LOVE everything about this set- the fonts, the birthday cake, how EASY it is to stamp!

Cool thing about photopolymers: they are super-easy to stamp a bunch at the same time. They are super-sticky and you can see through them as you stamp! I know this isn't new news, but until Stampin' Up! offered high-quality photopolymers about a year ago, I was photopolymer-resistant. Now I am IN LOVE!

To stamp each of the words separately on the white panel would have taken FOREVER, so this is how I did it:
Stampin_up_endless_birthday_wishes_3 - Copy

Attaching them all to Block I, I laid my Whisper White panel on my Stampin' Pierce Mat, then stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (available soon). The Stampin' Pierce Mat "gives" a little bit when you stamp, which helps with ink transfer.

After I stamped the cursive words, I stamped the typeset words separately. I found that stamping the two fonts on the same block did not work well.

I colored the cake with my Coastal Cabana and Daffodil Delight Blendabilites Markers. These alcohol-based markers will be available to order sometime later this summer.

We stamped the inside with just one phrase and the "confetti" stamp in Daffodil Delight Classic ink:

Stampin_up_endless_birthday_wishes_2 - Copy

The problem: the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set is temporarily unavailable. Ugh! All non-catalog photopolymers are while-supplies-last, so when they are sold out they generally are gone forever.

The good news: Endless Birthday Wishes will be back, at least until the second shipment sells out, so when I let you know it's available again you need to order it quick! I will post the supply list for this card at that time.

While we are waiting for Endless Birthday Wishes to come back, here's a BRAND NEW set just out today, Calling All Heroes (item 138002)

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #4!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #4!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! How are you on this last Sunday of July? I ready to share with you a few more swaps! Without further ado, here we go!

This card was created with 2013-2015 In Colors Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Strawberry Slush using the Sketched Birthday stamp set on page 13! Stampin' Up! gave everyone at Leadership in Orlando, FL this set, so I'm happy I have it!


Sketched birthday 1

The greeting is from the photopolymner stamp set, Bombs Away Birthday! This set is a go-to when I want a fun, irreverent, birthday greeting!


Sketched birthday 2

Next up is a card with the Tea Party stamp set (pg 35), Oval Collection Framelits, Beautifully Barouque Textured Impressions Folder, Tea Lace Doily, and Baked Brown Sugar 3/8" Stretch Ruffled Ribbon!


Tea party 1

Close-up you can see the attention to detail of both Stampin' Up!'s stamp creation and the stamper's coloring of the image with Baked Brown Sugar and Marina Mist ink & a Blender Pen. The addition of the 4-Petal punched flowers from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and the Basic Jewel Pearl give dimension and vintage style!


Tea party 2

Last-but-certainly-not-least, Susie Wood created this center easel card with the Kind & Cozy (page 82) and the Simply Stars (page 124) stamp sets! Don't worry about all of those Real Red punched stars, the Merry Minis Punch Pack is still available on the Holiday Carryover List! The "hello" is from the Four You stamp set on page 22!


Susie Wood

That's all for now! I will be back tomorrow with more fun creations to show you and will have more swaps to show you next Sunday!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

All products used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013


Sketched birthday 1
First, a fun little 4×4 card using the new In Colors of Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding!


Sketched birthday 5
This swap uses the not-retiring designer paper, Polka Dot Parade, and one of the Apothecary Accents framelits to cut out the greeting!


Sketched birthday 2
More Polka Dot Parade paper, Apothecary Accents framelits, and Bitty Banners framelits!

Stampin’ Up! Dolled Up Birthday Kit and Mother’s Day Family Time!

Stampin’ Up! Dolled Up Birthday Kit and Mother’s Day Family Time!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! I had a FABULOUS day yesterday! My day started with church, which is not unusual for me on Sunday at all, but what made it even more special is my daughter, Kimberly, was asked to speak during the service. She spoke about God's timing being so much better than our timing. I was very blessed by her comments. Then after church we all went to Cracker Barrel for lunch, which of course was a madhouse, but the food was good, as usual, and I love it when we all go together "en masse"!There were 15 of us today. We were minus Logan because he is still in Rolla for his finals week coming up, then he will be home for two weeks before the summer semester. If all goes as planned he will be graduating NEXT May!

Here's a few pics from the day:

Johnny & co

Johnny showing Cohen the fine points of the game!

Mark & alisa

Alisa & her Daddy sharing a joke! (she's due in less than 10 weeks!)

Liam after

Liam all perky at the other end of the table!

I received some fun gifts from my kids, including a canvas of my 6 kids which matches my Facebook personal page header! I love looking at that picture, and now I will have one hanging in my home! Yay! (I have to admit, it sure is a nice perk to being the photographer's mom!)

Before I start my day today, I wanted to show you one of the cards we made at Krystal's party on Saturday using the Dolled Up Birthday Kit #133913 $15.95 :

Dolled up 1

Everything used on this card front is included in the kit, including the kit-exclusive photopolymer Happy Birthday! For the inside I sponged laid the Tea Lace Doily from the front on the cardstock, then sponged through the design and around the outside edges with the Sponge Dauber and the Soft Suede ink included in the kit. The only addition to the card NOT included in the kit is the inside verse from One In a Million.

Dolled up 2
