Stampin’ Up! Papillion Potpourri!

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! It's Monday and my first day back taking care of Liam! I'm really looking forward to it, he's such a fun little guy!

Today's card is another swap from convention by Andrea MacDonald. Andrea combined the Lattice Bigz Die, Papillion Potpourri, and the Bitty Butterfly punch to create this stunning card!

Cardstock is Whisper White, Basic Black, and Daffodil Delight. Ink is Jet Black StazOn. A bit of Daffodil Delight Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper and Daffodil Delight 1/2" Seam Binding add just the perfect touch of class to this one!

This card has no greeting, which is card sacrilidge as far as I am concerned (I like for all of my cards to "speak" to me, to invite me to open them!). In this card's defence, however, it could have just about any greeting, except for may "happy father's day" or "merry christmas", and this card would fit the bill!

That's all for now. If you remember from last school year, I go to Liam's house, so I need to get going. I have to drive by another grade school on my way to his house, and if the lights are flashing I have to drive REALLY SLOW!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! NEW Sketched Birthday!

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Monday Morning to you! I have some fun samples to show you today from the swap in Fiji, using the upcoming new Annual Catalog set, Sketched Birthday! Go HERE to see my Fiji swap using this set. Let's jump right in, shall we?

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

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

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

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

This sample combines Sketched Birthday with our first photopolymer stamp set, Designer Type, which was used to creat the banner. New designer paper was used, Epic Day!

Our final sample today combines Sketched Birthday with Flowering Flourishes. The unique feature of this one is the correction fluid the creator used to accent the Jet Black StazOn-stamped images, giving this one a "bandana" feel! There are actually several household and office-related items that can be utilized very easily to embellish your creations! I hope to be showing you some of those in the coming days!

That's all for today! Hope you've enjoyed Sketched Birthday, which will be available to order on May 31st!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Spring Sampler Sunburst Thank You!

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Carol Payne

I'm back with a second post for today! Now that I've drawn the name for the froggies-on-the-lilypad challenge, I have a card for you!

I found my inspiration for this card by Erica Cerwin on the Stampin' Up! blog. I changed the presentation from landscape to portrait, and used retiring Melon Mambo Scallop Dotted Ribbon. I cut out the focal image from Spring Sampler & stamped with Jet Black Stazon with a Labels Collection Framelit, and added a Melon Mambo layer cut with an Ovals Collection Framelit:

The "thank you" if from the soon-to-be-retired Hostess Set, Wacky Wishes!

Patterns from three different designer papers: Polka Dot Parade, Summer Smooches, and Sunshine & Sprinkles were cut into pieces 2" x 3", then cut diagonally with the Paper Trimmer:

You end up with six right-angled triangles that you attach your card front like this:

After you have them all attached you then turn the card over and trim off the excess that extends over the edge with your Paper Snips.

And here's the inside of the card with the verse from From the Heart:

That's all for today! I'm off in a few minutes to spend the afternoon with Liam! This is our last week with him, school is out for the summer next week!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Punch Project #1 Small Heart Tulips!

Posted on April 4, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I can't wait to show you this card! This is a CASE and adaptation of a card by Wendy Wexler, darling tiny tulips made with the Small Heart Punch!

I love the look of the Real Red Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper with the tulips and the Real Red 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon! Everything on this card POPS!

I used the part of the paper cut out by the Floral Frames Framelit as the background layer for the inside verse, and added my own extra little tulip here on the inside.

Well it's back to the drawing board today! Lots more to get ready for Saturday's classes! I am having my Punch and Technique Class AND a stamp-a-stack, "CampJustWannaStamp" all at the same time!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
