Stampin’Up! Gingham Garden Suite!

Stampin’Up! Gingham Garden Suite!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! I was nosing around in my computer this morning and found a BUNCH of samples from the boards in Fiji that I had not yet shown you, so here is the first of what may become a few days' of installments!

Every Incentive Trip, Stampin' Up! provides a Hospitality Room for demonstrators to hang out in at the hotel or the cruise ship where we are all staying. Also on every trip there is usually at least one new stamp set or product suite they will feature. This is also tied to the stamp set(s) and other product goodies they usually shower us with while on the trip! This year was no exception – the Gingham Garden Suite from the New Annual Catalog featured this time, and WOW, they did a good job!

Gingham garden suite
 In the Hospitality Room Stampin' Up! had this display board available all week for demonstrators to take pictures of for future inspiration!

This sample featured Gingham Garden Designer Paper, Gingham Garden Washi Tape, our new Coaster Board covered with Gingham Garden Designer Paper and cut out with the Big Shot, and a greeting from Kind & Cozy, one of the stamp sets we received while on the trip!


Gingham garden 1

This card has the Wildflower Meadow stamp as a background on the new Baked Brown Sugar card base, with Gingham Garden Designer Paper and Washi Tape, and a greeting from Kind & Cozy again!


Gingham garden 2

Finally for today, this sample combines Gingham Garden Designer Paper and Washi Tape with selections from Fabulous Phrases on the adorable hand-cut tag!


Gingham garden 3

That's it for today! I've a full plate today – finishing up my monthly swap to go in the mail this morning, followed by getting my house ready for a 31 Party tonight! Should be a fun day!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!

Stampin’ Up! Punch Puppy From Fiji!

Stampin’ Up! Punch Puppy From Fiji!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Just a quick post here today, I'm running behind with my day and it's just getting started!

We had a good Father's Day celebration yesterday, beginning with a special song at church, "A Few Good Men"! My husband and SIL, Tony, (a young father of one, Liam!) sang in the mens' ensemble:

A few good men
Our father-of-four pastor, two young father's of two, a young father of about-to-be three, a young father of soon-to-be six, and one young unmarried fellow all came together to sing this inspiring song!

After church we spent the rest of the afternoon at Jessica's. PaPa Mark was able to spend time with all of his children and grandchildren. He's enjoying Jaxon & Liam, who are just a little over 7 months apart in age:


Papa's boys
Seating is not a problem when we get together (at least not as long as you can fit at the kiddie table!) Cohen informed me that the chairs at this table were "very strong, they have BIG NAILS in them"!


Kiddie table

We had hoped to be able to swim in Jessica's pool, but it was cloudy, not a good swim day at all, so we contented ourselves with indoor activities.

I want to share this card with you today. It is a case of one of my Fiji swaps. We made this card at the final Punch Class of the year back in May. I thought I had shared it with you already, but after checking my blog here I found that I hadn't, shame on me! One of my groups has asked to make it this month, so here it is:
Pink puppy 1
Doesn't her little tail just look like it's wagging?


Pink puppy 2

A fun card!

Well, I'd better get off this computer and get busy! I have a workshop at the Elkville Rick Warren Library tonight!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Happy Father’s Day! Secret Garden Masked Corners Re-visited!

Happy Father’s Day! Secret Garden Masked Corners Re-visited!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy Father's Day! I'm sure many of you will be preparing a meal, or get-together for the fathers in your life, so I will make this a quick post!

My dad passed away 19 years ago. I still miss him and think of him often. He was a great Dad and an even GREATER grandpa! Just ask my oldest three: Jessica, Kimberly, and Troy, they will tell you Grandpa Wall was the BEST!

Yesterday I prepped for my workshops this coming week. One of them is a monthly class/club, so I see several of the same stampers every month. Last month they picked THIS CARD from my display to do this month. Two of the ink colors, all of the word stamps, and the ribbon retired on May 31, so I re-worked the card using all current products:

Secret Garden 1

What do you think? I kept the Secret Garden stamps and Framelits Collection, then substituted Blushing Bride for Pretty in Pink, Pear Pizzazz for Lucky Limeade, Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon for Certainly Celery ribbon, and a phrase from Best of Greetings instead of the retired Friendly Phrases.

Secret garden 2
Inside I switched out the Beautiful Birthday stamp (one of my all-time favs) for one of the stamps from the new Million & One set (which is quickly becoming a NEW fav of mine)!

Well,I still have some things to prep and gather together for the day! It's church first, of course, then grilling out at Jessica's, swimming, (maybe a nap, who knows?), and generally hanging out with the entire family the rest of the day! I can't wait!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Sketched Hostess!

Stampin’ Up! Simply Sketched Hostess!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! It's cool and quiet here this morning, but it's supposed to heat up as the day goes on, so I will be firing up the ol' AC after awhile!

I'm relaxing just a little bit after my marathon week of workshops! I finished up at Katie's house last night. I love to stamp with that group of girls, they are so much fun!

Here's one of the cards we made at Dawn/Julia's workshop on Thursday. It's an adaptation of a couple of inspiration samples using my favorite new Hostess Set, Simply Sketched, I found by Lyssa Zwolanek:

Simply sketched 1

An easy, fun little card. Dimensions are 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side to create the little "z" fold.

We stamped just the front layer with the Woodgrain Background with Soft Suede ink on the Soft Suede card base before stamping the foliage branch with Early Espresso.

The bird is stamped with Early Espresso, then colored with a blender pen and ink from a Soft Suede inkpad and an Always Artichoke pad.

The edges of the bird layer are distressed with the Stampin' Distress Tool before sponging with Soft Suede ink. After tearing the bottom of both layers and adhering together, it is attached to the card front with three Stampin' Dimensionals.

Simply Sketched is just one of seven hostess-exclusive sets in the new catalog you can choose from when you host your own stampin' party or place an Online Order of at least $150!

This layout has endless possibilities, depending on the stamps and colors you use! Give it a try!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Gifts of Kindness!

Stampin’ Up! Gifts of Kindness!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! How are you doing today? I'm doing pretty good, I'm on the homestretch in the workshops this week. I actually have enjoyed the routine: get up in the morning, reorganize my workshop supplies, make sure I have enough M&T packets, then do whatever else I can fit in the day before it's time to get dressed to go. Drive to the workshop, stamp, laugh, and share with wonderful women friends, then home to submit the workshop. I could actually do with a couple of weeks like this EVERY month!

Today during the "whatever else I can fit in the day" time frame, I was able to sit down for about 30 minutes and create this using my new Gifts of Kindness stamp set!


Gifts of kindness 1
The card base is Beautifully Baroque-embossed Sahara Sand, layered with a strip of Afternoon Picnic Designer Paper. I inked the main floral image from Gifts of Kindness with Pear Pizzazz and Coastal Cabana Stampin' Write Markers, stamped on Very Vanilla, then cut out with one of the new Deco Labels Collection Framelits. The Modern Label-punched "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" is also from Gifts of Kindness. I love the font used for all the words and phrases in this set!

Here's the fun part of this card – it's a diorama card!


Gifts of kindness 3

Close up:


Gifts of kindness 2

Pretty neat, yes?

The inside window of the diorama is cut also cut with one of the Deco Labels Collection Framelits!

I have some ideas about this card, but you are going to have to wait to find out what they are! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long!

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