Stampin’ Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #3, Kind & Cozy!

Stampin’ Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #3, Kind & Cozy!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Can you believe it? Only TWO MORE SLEEPS until the New Catalog starts! I can hardly wait!

I'm busy as the proverbial ol' bee this week, getting ready for THREE, yes I said THREE, big events this weekend! They are a follows:

Friday evening: my daughter, Alisa and her husband, Cody, are hosting their annual "Summer Bash" at our house! This involves a bonfire with hotdogs & 'smores, hamburgers on the grill, all the rest of your traditional picnic trimmings, kickball, volleyball, LOTS OF FRIENDS, and of course, mosquitos!

Saturday afternoon 1-6 p.m.: I'm hosting my annual "New Catalog Open House"! This involves Make n' Takes, doorprizes, gifts, refreshments, a BOGO sale, and of course the giving out of the New 2013-2014 Annual Catalog for FREE, many of which will be spiral-bound for those who RSVP to me by today and attend!

Sunday afternoon 2-4 p.m.: My daughters are hosting a baby shower at our church for Cody & Alisa and baby Oakley, who is scheduled to arrive sometime in early July!

Whew! I get a little tired just thinking about it all!

Today's new catalog samples I downloaded from a "virtual swap" I participated in with a Facebook group I belong to called "Stampin' Leaders". 

This sample used the set we received in Fiji, Kind & Cozy, with new Gingham Garden designer paper:

Gingham garden kind & cozy

This sample uses Gingham Garden paper again to create a cute little seed-packet card. Notice the flower embellishment? It was created with our new Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds and Simply Pressed Clay!

Another Kind & Cozy sample, this time with Gingham Garden Washi Tape to accent so easily!

And last but not least, this sample used Gingham Garden Washi Tape with the Beautiful Butterfly Die to create a custom butterfly embellishment!

That's all for today! I'm off to get busy on my "To Do" list for today!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #2!

Stampin’Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #2!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good Morning! Now that I think about it a "countdown" starts at a higher number and counts DOWN to zero, and I'm counting up! Oh well, we all know that when we get to Friday, May 31st, we can order from the new catalog, and that's all that really matters, doesn't it?

Today's sample is a perfect blend of current and new! Lookie:

Dress up soho

The dress is cut from NEW Soho Subway Designer Paper, and the Blushing Bride (a returning In-Color that is now a CORE Subtles color!) strip behind the dress has been embossed with NEW Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Folder.

I LOVE how the creator (wish it was me but, alas, is not!) used the Designer Frames Folder and the Extra Large Oval punch with Silver Glimmer Paper to create the "mirror"!

Beautiful finishing touches: the "Pearl" necklace and the Blushing Bride flower punched with one of the Itty Bitty Shapes Punches!

That's all for today! I've a LOOOOONG list of "to do's" to get done today before my stamp camp in West Frankfort at the GrandOArt Studio!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

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

Just a few days left to order from the retired lists! Click on the "SHOP NOW" button in the upper left corner of this blog to go to my Online Store to place your order!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fiji Swaps!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fiji Swaps!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! I'm staying home from church this morning because although I now have the proper meds, at times I'm still coughing my head off, and I don't want annoy everyone around me and disturb the service. I'm hoping after a second day of antibiotics my system will start to turn this around. I am, however, VERY thankful to not have that crazy fever anymore!

Today's samples are more of the swaps pics from Fiji, this time a collection of them using the Secret Garden stamps and framelits. These pics are from the swap boards so I'm not entirely sure how they were all made as I didn't get a chance to "reverse engineer" them (this was a term my son used when my friend Meg & I were discussing how some of the swaps we received were  made as we sat by the pool one day. He said "reverse engineering" was bad in his world of Information Technology. We told him it's perfectly acceptable in the stamping world!)

Secret garden friend

This first swap has Epic Day designer paper for the background, then white embossed flowers that have been painted with inkpads and an Aquapainter. (I think!) There's also a Paper-Pierced Garden Green Window Framelit-cut layer peeking out from behind the flowers and leaves!

Secret garden ep

This one is a real beauty, but trying to reverse-engineer this one from a picture is a toughie! I'm pretty sure Pool Party or Tempting Turquoise and am almost positive Melon Mambo embossing powder was used, but I only "think" there was some bleach-stamping going on here as well!

What do you think?

Secret garden art

This last sample uses the "reinker spread" technique to get the flowing colors on these white-embossed blossoms. The greeting is from a catalog favorite of mine, Trust God, and the punch-out circle is framed by a Sahara Sand layer cut with the Delicate Doilies Sizzlet!

That's all for today! Tomorrow is "Countdown Week to the New Catalog", and I will be sharing swaps made with new catalog products all week! I can't wait to show you some of the cool stuff we are getting!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! NEW Sketched Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! NEW Sketched Birthday!

Posted on 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


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!


Sketched birthday 3
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!


Sketched birthday 4
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!
