Stampin’ Up! Lotus Blossom!

Stampin’ Up! Lotus Blossom!

Hey there! It's another FREEZING cold day here, but that can be said for much of the U.S., can't it? Last night I got to stamp with a lovely group of ladies that I love. Their group is not actually a club, because we keep having new stampers coming every month, but their event is a Mystery Hostess Stamp Camp!

Here's how it works:

Each stamper brings a finger food of their choice to the event. (if they can't bring a snack that's o.k. too) Everyone has the choice to either pay the flat $10 stamp camp fee or place an order of at least $30 to stamp the 4 cards for free. Everyone who places an order gets their name in a drawing to see who gets the Host Benefits from the combined total of the night's orders. Whoever was the hostess the month before is excluded from the drawing, even though they usually place an order anyway.

It works out pretty well; everyone seems to be happy and has a great time stamping, snacking, and visiting!

Here's one of the cards we made last night. This was inspired by a Leadership swap:

I just realized as I was adding my watermark to these pictures that it is out-of-date. It's 2015, isn't it? I've been so involved with my grandbabies that I haven't had time to think about my watermark date! Guess this goes on my "to do" list for next week!

This set, Lotus Blossom, is one of the sets you can choose from the Sale-a-bration brochure when you place a $50 order. About half of the stampers placing orders last night chose this set for their freebie!

That's all for now. If you would like to choose this set for your $50 order freebie, just go to my online store to place your order: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

Here's your shopping list for today's card:

 

 Don't forget, all orders of any amount placed in my online store will receive a Thank-you Project Packet in the mail from me!

Until tomorrow, which is Sunday Swap Day, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day on Sunday Night!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day on Sunday Night!

Hey there! Things have been really busy around here for what seems like forever, but tomorrow it's going to get even busier because Miss Darcy is coming! yay!

Tomorrow morning at approximately 7:30 a.m, Miss Darcy Anne Jenkins is scheduled to make her debut! We are all excited, as well as a bit anxious. A c-section, while routine, is a serious surgery. We will all be breathing a prayer of thanks when mommy and  baby are safe and sound.

While we are waiting, and hoping to get a little bit of sleep before setting off for the hospital pre-6 a.m., how about a few swaps?

Ruth Bingle created her swap with the Big Day Sale-a-bration set using the Frosted Window technique:

Stampin_up_big_day_2

The "frosted window" is created with clear packing tape over the punched circle, then sprinkling the sticky side with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Stampin_up_big_day_4

Next, Cathy Stephenson used Butterfly Basics, punching the Bitty Butterfly from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, which is on sale through Monday, February 9!

Stampin_up_butterfly_basics

Raedean Shibata used Balloon Framelits with Celebrate Today to create a stunning anniversary card. She punched the edge with the Confetti Stars Border Punch, adding Silver Foil paper behind the stars for more shine.

Stampin_up_celebrate_today_1

Inside is finished with a banner from Celebrate Today and A Dozen Thoughts sentiment.

Finally, Jackie Ordway used Something Borrowed Designer Paper and a phrase from the For the New Two for her elegant wedding card. The Something Borrowed Embellishment is found on page 42 of the Occasions Catalog.

Stampin_up_for_the_new_two_1

That's all for now. The next time you visit I should have some Darcy pictures to share, as well as a few more swaps!

Here's a supply list of the main supplies used for todays' swaps you can order from my online store: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

All orders of any amount will receive a Thank-you project packet from me. Since I will be staying with Miss Darcy for at least a couple of weeks I will be a bit slow in getting Thank-you packets in the mail this month (I still have some January ones to do too!) but please be patient, I WILL send them!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Papillon Potpourri Lattice Spring Card!

Stampin’ Up! Papillon Potpourri Lattice Spring Card!

Hey there! Thought it was time for a really spring-y card! I received a version of this card as a swap last spring, and I've been "saving" it for a workshop card whenever the right group needed it. A workshop I was scheduled to do has had to be postponed, so I thought I would share this to give us a bit of spring after this long, long, loooong winter:

Stampin_up_papillon_potpourri_lattice_1 - Copy

It'a actually a pretty easy card – the Lattice Bigz Die and the Papillon Potpourri stamps & Bitty Butterfly punch make it easy!

Stampin_up_papillon_potpourri_lattice_2 - Copy

The inside of the card I haven't been saving because I used the "You're Lovely" Sale-a-bration set, which didn't even exist last spring when this card was first created! I thought this open-label stamp was perfect to use this phrase from Petite Pairs. I was originally thinking it would be a birthday card, but it would also make a great "thank-you" or "thinking of you" card!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Watercolor!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Watercolor!

Hey there! Today is my "Happiest Day" class for February! yay! I love to play with my stamps all on my own, but I love it even more when friends come over to play with my stamps with me!

Today's card is one we will be making in class using the Happy Watercolor stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. This card is inspired by a swap I received from Tamra Davis at Leadership last month:

Stampin_up_happy_watercolor_1

We are using the Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Folder on the card front, then stamping a flower stem from Simple Stems and adding Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper (free with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure!) flowers punched with the Pansy and Petite Petals Punches. The greeting is stamped and punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, then layered on piece of Sweet Sorbet paper that has also been punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch!

Stampin_up_happy_watercolor_2

The Crisp Cantaloupe Twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (free with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure!). We are piercing a hole through the card front with a Paper-Piercing Tool to thread the twine through before tying in a bow.

Stampin_up_happy_watercolor_3

Inside we are stamping with a sentiment from Delightful Dozen with Jet Black StazOn ink, then stamping with another free Sale-a-bration item, Petite Petals, with Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party, and Pistachio Pudding.

Here's the class handout for you to download:
