Stampin’ Up! New Weekly Deals and a Birthday Card for Cohen!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a quick post. It's 1:30 a.m. and I just finished my 2013 taxes. I am resolving and you are all witnesses: I. will. not. wait. to. do. my. taxes. at. the. last. minute. ever. again.

I've been waiting to show you this card for several days. My grandson, Cohen, turned 6 on February 7th. This is the card I made to go with his presents, but I haven't been able to give it to him because we have not had his family party yet! I know he doesn't read my blog, and although we hope to have his party in a few WEEKS, I'm going to share it with you now  just because I can't wait any longer!

Stampin_up_see_ya_later_1

I have been saying the phrase, "See ya later, alligator" to Cohen since he was just a little guy, and now he says, "After while, crocodile" back to me, so I just had to make him this card with the phrase from the free SAB set, See Ya Later!

This is defintely a one-of-a-kind card, but Cohen is worth it!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day! Giftcards Galore!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day! Giftcards Galore!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Hope you are enjoying the time between Christmas and New Year's. We have our nephew, Nathan, and his sweet wife, Laura Beth, with us from Murfreesboro, TN, for a few days, so we are enjoying their visit!

After showing you all of the Christmas gift card holders, I still have a few non-Christmas ones left. Today's post is all about gift card holders!

This first one was created with the Monstermaniacs stamp set( #134972 $14.95):

Stampin_up_monstermainiacs_1

Monstermaniacs is not shown in any catalog, but you can download the flyer with all of the zany images here:

Download US_In_with_you_Flyer_Monstermaniacs_1013

134972L

The Pop 'n Cuts Bigz L Die was also used to create the gift card holder, along with Bermuda Bay cardstock and Birthday Basics Designer Paper. "Happy Birthday" is from the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set.

Stampin_up_monstermaniacs_2

This masculine gift card holder was made with the Remembering Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Catalog (and only available for a few more days! After January 2nd, it is gone, maybe forever.)

Stampin_up_remembering_christmas_1

The Woodgrain Textured Impressions folder was used on the Early Espresso cardstock, and the "thinking of you" is from the Wetlands stamp set. Susie Wood is the creator of this card. She used the Envelope Punch Board in a different way to create a card instead of an envelope!

Stampin_up_remembering_christmas_2

Speaking of Wetlands, this card is a beautiful example of the use of that set!

Marina Mist, Baked Brown Sugar, and Very Vanilla come together with  Midnight Muse and Baked Brown Sugar ink to create a masculine but very attractive card.

Stampin_up_wetlands_1

The Painter's Tape technique was used for the background behind the goose.

Stampin_up_wetlands_2

Inside the slot for the gift card was punched with the Word Window Punch.

Here's another gift card holder using the Remembering Your Birthday stamps and Birthday Basics Designer Paper again:

Stampin_up_remembering_your_birthday_1

The bow was created with the Gift Bow Bigz Die from the Holiday Catalog. If you were waiting to order this die later, DON'T WAIT! As far as I know, this die will no longer be available after January 2nd! It might come back in the new catalog in June, but there's no guarantee!

Stampin_up_remembering_your_birthday_2

The Word Window Punch was used again for the gift card slot.

Here's a couple more that are not gift card holders, but I just couldn't resist including them for you today:

Stampin_up_chalk_talk_1

Lots of punches used to create the clown, along with Chalk Talk stamps and framelits, Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper, and the Stripes Textured Impressions Folder!

Lastly, this cute card was created using the Zoo Review stamp set, Soft Sky, Whisper White, and Basic Black cardstock, Circle Collection Framelits, and Soft Sky 1/2" Seam Binding.

Stampin_up_zoo_review_1

The penguin stamp in Zoo Review is actually just one single penguin. The creator of this card stamped the center bird first, then covered it with a mask before stamping the same stamp on either side of it. "You Can Never Have Too Much Happy" is from the Yippee-Skippee! stamp set.

There you go! SIX cards for today! How do you like that?

Stampin’ Up! Sprinkley Pink Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Sprinkley Pink Birthday!

Posted on by Carol Payne

I was prepping some projects for a SAS I'm doing for a hostess this weekend and remembered I had intended to use the layout from one of the Christmas cards as a birthday card. You can see my original card HERE. I took that layout and inspiration and created this card:
Sprinkly pink birthday 1

I created the cake with 1/2" wide strips of Silver Glimmer paper, alternated with 1/2" strips of Strawberry Slush Designer Collection Paper. I adhered it to a layer of Pink Pirouette Designer Collection Paper. The Silver Glimmer paper I used Tombow glue to adhere it because it has a plastic-y backing that SNAIL adhesive won't stick to.

Sprinkly pink birthday 2

I really like the candles and flames for this cake. I flipped the Strawberry Slush polka-dot paper over and punched it with the candle of the Cupcake Builder punch. I really like how the chevron-pattern of the paper mimics the swirls on birthday candles. I punched a Silver Glimmer paper scrap with the flames of the Cupcake Builder punch. I adhered the candles and the flames to the card with Tombow glue that I applied to the pieces with a toothpick.

Sprinkly pink birthday 3

The Strawberry Slush-stamped greeting is from Remembering Your Birthday. I cut it out with a Chalk Talk Framelit, and added a Whisper White Organza bow with a Glue Dot.

Sprinkly pink birthday 4

Inside I continued the pink-sprinkley theme with a "happy birthday" from the same Remebering Your Birthday set, and added "my friend" from Six Sided Sampler. I punched Silver Glimmer paper and Strawberry Slush Designer Collection paper with the Cupcake Builder Punch again for my final embellishment.

That's all for now! I wish one of my granddaughter's birthdays' was not so far away, I can hardly wait to give them this card!

You can order the supplies for this card from my Online Store, www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Go check it out! In addition to the current Weekly Deals, there's also a Thursday Thank-You Special for Thursday, October 17th only!

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

Stampin’Up! Cycle Celebration!

Stampin’Up! Cycle Celebration!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Just a quick post before we get started with our day!

Today's card is one of our cards for the SWOW Class this weekend, using Cycle Celebration and Remembering Your Birthday!

Cycle celebration 1

Coastal Cabana and Whisper White cardstock, with Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, and Basic Black ink make this card really pop!

I used the Squares Collection Framelits to cut the layers with the Strawberry Slush In Color Designer Paper. The birthday candle from Cycle Celebration is fussy-cut with my snips and is tucked behind the Whisper White Organza Ribbon!

"celebrate a sweet birthday" was stamped once in Coastal Cabana and punched with the Decorative Label punch. After cleaning the stamp on my Stampin' Scrub, I then colored the center words with Basic Black and Strawberry Slush Stampin' Write Markers. I then punched it with the Large Oval punch so I could mount it on the first punch with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Cycle celebration 2

Inside I used the Square Collection Framelits again, then put a punched cupcake from the Cupcake Builder punch in it. I punched Strawberry Slush Designer Paper with the Small Heart punch for the cupcake liner. After embossing the cupcake frosting with the Perfect Polka Dot Folder, I highlighted the dots with the new Chalk Marker. The inside phrase is from Remembering Your Birthday.

The inside could be an card front too, don't you think?

That's all for now. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
