Well, today is the last day I am keeping Liam this school year. I love that little guy, he's my favorite Liam in all the world! Summer break starts next week, so he will be with his mommy everyday, much to her delight, but I will be back with him starting sometime in mid-august! Right now he is still army-crawling and cruising around the couch, but by august he will probably be walking, even running! I'll get to see him frequently during the summer, so it's all good!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Whitewash Coloring Secret Garden Tutorial!

Stampin’ Up! Whitewash Coloring Secret Garden Tutorial!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Hope you do some fun stamping today! I am going to be stamping with Krystal and her friends today! yay!

Just want to share this fun project from my final Punch/Technique Class for this Stampin' Up! Catalog year using the Whitewash Coloring Technique with the Secret Garden stamp set & framelits and the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder (which will soon be retiring).

Note: all products are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless otherwise noted

Whitewash 1

We embossed the Basic Black cardstock with the Elegant Bouquet folder and the Big Shot, then sponged the raised areas with Whisper White Craft ink to make them pop! The Happiest Birthday greeting is from the Apothecary Art stamp set, and the cut-out flower images are from Secret Garden!

Whitewash 2
The inside is simply white heat embossed with the verse from the soon-to-be-retired set, You Are Loved, as well as the same flower images as the front!

Here's a mini-tutorial of how to do the "whitewashing" technique!

Whitewash Coloring

1. Stamp
image with Versamark ink on solid-color cardstock (Crumb Cake for this project). Heat Emboss with White Embossing
Powder and Heat Tool.


Whitewash 3

2.Squeeze closed Whisper White Craft Pad to deposit ink in lid. Open pad. Pick
up ink from lid with a wet AquaPainter.
“Wash” color over embossed image. Allow to air-dry or dry with Heat Tool.

Whitewash 4

3.Squeeze
lid of a Classic inkpad color of choice (Midnight Muse and Primrose Petals for this project). Open
pad. Pick up ink from lid with Blender Pen. Apply ink to “white-washed” areas
as desired. Add more intense ink color with matching Stampin’ Write Marker.


Whitewash 5

These images were cut out with the Secret Garden Framelit Dies and the Big Shot.

 Whitewash 6

There you have it! Give Whitewash Coloring a try and let me know what you think!

Gotta go! Krystal's workshop awaits!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Fiji Swaps! Best of Butterflies & Pure Gumption!

Stampin’ Up! Fiji Swaps! Best of Butterflies & Pure Gumption!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Bula! (I just can't seem to stop myself from using this Fijiian greeting, I heard it from everyone I met in Fiji! I also noticed that men tended to emphasize the first part of the greeting more, pronouncing it "BOO-lah" with a very heavy sound, and the women pronounced it much more lightly – "bu-LAH")

Anyway, I have THREE fun swaps to show you from the swap boards in Fiji. Because they were attached to the board I have no idea who the creators are, but they are very fine swaps!

Note: all products used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless otherwise stated.

First, an ingeniously folded grad-cap card using the stamp set, Pure Gumption and Parker's Patterns Designer Paper!

Pure gumption

Next two swaps using the 25th Anniversary Collection stamp set, Best of Flowers!

This one is clean-and-simple, just the way a sympathy card should be:

Best of flowers 1

This one has some color popped with a Sponge Dauber and some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter added with a 2-way Glue Pen. The largest Apothecary Accents Framelit was used to both frame the focal image and to cut the Basic Black mat behind it. The Lacy Brocade-embossed layer has been sponged with some Frost White Shimmer Paint!

Best of flowers 2

That's all for now! I'm off today to see Liam! I haven't given him a hug in over a week! I'm dying to see him! Then this evening I will be attending Maddie Kate's end-of-school choir concert! Yay!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Almost Home From Fiji! Did you know I now work at the airport?

Stampin’ Up! Almost Home From Fiji! Did you know I now work at the airport?

Posted on by Carol Payne

We've been virtually LIVING in airports for the past two days! Eating, sleeping, waiting, over and over. I am starting to feel WAY too at home here! I'm posting this morning from the waiting area at the D2 Terminal at the Cleveland, OH airport, but I want to share a story from yesterday at LAX.
Going home 4
No, I don't really work at the LAX airport, I'm just using the electrical outlet at this kiosk after the employee went home. It was located immediately next to our waiting area, so it was easy to just power up while doing a little sorting of my Fiji pics. What's really funny is that people started stopping as they were getting off flights and were asking me for information! REALLY? I'm wearing capris and a hoodie! Do I REALLY look like I work here? SERIOUSLY?????

I just kept on saying, "No, I'm sorry, I don't work here", to everyone who stopped by until suddenly this little woman from Peru came up and starting asking me in Spanish-Portugese-whatever-they speak in Peru about her flight. Well, I COULDN'T make her understand that I didn't work there, so when she waved her ticket at me, off we went to check the flight board. Turned out her terminal was right beside where we were so I directed her there. We were both SO HAPPY, she started saying "gracias" and patting my arm, so I started to give her a quick hug and she kissed my cheek! WOW! She really made my day! I don't remember her name, but I won't forget her anytime soon! Small miracles while you wait at the airport, huh?

It's almost time to board our FINAL flight to St. Louis, so I will close with this gorgeous card I received in the "Swap with Me!" sponsored by Stampin' Up! while in Fiji:


Stippled Oh Hello
All supplies are©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 

This swap was created by Vicky Kahlandt, a lovely new demo friend from Utah with a lovely English Accent! Vicky combined Stippled Blossoms with Oh Hello and Tea for Two Designer Paper from the Occasions Catalog.  She cut the ovals with the Ovals Collection Framelits, easy peasy! Both stamp sets will be in the new 2013-2014 Annual Catalog beginning May 31, but the Tea for Two Designer Paper will NOT, so better grab some before it's gone!

You can go HERE to order TODAY!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Print Poetry Birthday Set #2!

Stampin’ Up! Print Poetry Birthday Set #2!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! It's a "Liam day" again today, so I have just a few minutes before I'm off to his house!

Today I want to show you the second set of Print Poetry birthday cards I made!

Note: All samples shown today are©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Print poetry 7

This first one uses the some of the "pinks" pages of the Print Poetry Designer Paper Stack and a Naturals Ivory card base. The greeting is from the Occasions Catalog set, Make a Wish, and the gorgeous snowflake-y looking medallions are from the April Special set, A Round Array! I added the Raspberry Ripple In-Color Dahlia and the Rose Red 1/2" Seam Binding bow with Glue Dots.

Print poetry 8

My second creation with the "pinks" paper uses Pink Pirouette as the card base, which has been embossed with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. This time I used a Primrose Petals In-Color Dahlia and the same Rose Red 1/2" Seam Binding to make the bow.

Print poetry 9

On the inside I used Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the "make a WISH" stamp, also from the Make a Wish stamp set. After I stamped in the center of the card, I continued with "generational" stamping by huffing on the stamp with my breath before stamping again several times without re-inking the stamp!

Well, that's it for today! Thanks so much for stopping in to see me!
