Stampin’Up! Polka Dot Botanical Blooms!

Posted on April 26, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card I created last month while on a stamping "binge". Do you ever do that? Have so many ideas in your head they just pour out? Once in a great while that happens for me. Inspired by a card I saw online, I've added personal touches to make it mine:

I started with an Early Espresso card base, adding a Whisper White layer embossed with the Large Polka Dot folder. I used a sponge dauber with Daffodil Delight ink to sponge directly on each large raised "dot". I wrapped with a piece of now-retiring Whisper White 5/8" Satin Ribbon, tying in a knot before adhering to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

After cutting a Daffodil Delight bloom with the Botanical Builder Framelits, I sponged with Daffodil Delight ink. I added a Whisper White bloom punched with an Itty Bitty Accents Punch, and an It's My Party Enamel Dot. The whole bloom was added to the ribbon knot with glue dots, and the Mossy Meadow greenery, also cut with the Botanical Gardens framelits, were added with glue dots.

I stamped the Suite Sayings sentiment with Early Espresso on Daffodil Delight, punching each end with the Note Tag Punch, which is retiring. After sponging with Daffodil Delight I adhered over the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped the inside with another Suite Sayings Sentiment and sponged the edges of the Whisper White layer with Daffodil Delight.

Botanical Builders Framelits have four different sizes of blooms to choose from, so I cut a small one from Daffodil Delight, sponged with Daffodil Delight ink, then added with a glue dot. I cut the leaf with a Botanical Builders Framelit, adding it and the white center punched with the Tree Builder Punch, with glue dots. I finished the center with another It's My Party Enamel Dot.

Stampin’ Up! Rose Garden Framed!

Posted on April 25, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's been a few days since I've blogged. I think I just needed a little break after the whirlwind of going to OnStage in Salt Lake, and the pins-and-needles before that of waiting to find out if my husband's melanoma had spread. Thanks to the Lord, all came back clear and all he has to remember the ordeal is a healing scar on his chin. I also hosted an Open House on Tuesday with my two daughters to kick off spring for their three home-based-businesses, as well as my little side business, Origami Owl. On Wednesday we had our whole family over for supper so our youngest daughter, Alisa, and her husband, Cody, could reveal the gender of their new baby, due in late September. The announcement was PINK, and we are thrilled to be welcoming another little girl into our family; a baby sister for Oakley and Lando, and a girl cousin for Darcy! The rest of the week I spent babysitting and/or catching up on so many things that get left behind when you are getting ready for a trip. Now I hope to get back to a regular stamping and blogging schedule. I have LOTS of great new ideas and a lovely box of pre-pre-order stamps and accessories from the upcoming 2016/17 Annual Catalog to play with! yay!

Today's card I created a few weeks ago, with a Rose Red background and Rose Garden Framelits:

Both the Pink Pirouette 1/2" Seam Binding and A Dozen Thoughts stamp set that the "hello" greeting is from are on the retired list! The Pink Pirouette 1/2" Seam Binding is even discounted 40%, so it is $4.20 a roll instead of the original $7!

One product that I heaved a sigh of relief that ISN'T retiring is the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits I used to cut the window around the rose.

I used the cut-out from inside the frame to stamp another greeting from A Dozen Thoughts, and used the metal framelit itself as my stencil to sponge the Rose Red ink to create the soft roses in the corners.

Posted on April 19, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I planned to post the Stampin' Up! Retiring List of Stamps and Accessories yesterday but the website was flooded with demonstrators and customers all trying to view the list at the same time, so it was an impossible task!

Stampin’ Up! On Stage Live in Salt Lake City!

Posted on April 14, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm in Salt Lake City, UT for Stampin' Up! OnStage Live! Yesterday travel day that started in the wee morning hours so my travel buddy, Joanne Cantrell, and I could get the St. Louis airport. Actually my day started off with a bang, waking up with a start at 4:30 to discover we had no power! Scared that I had overslept, I fumbled for a cellphone check the time. I laid back down for a few minutes and thankfully the power came back on. I was beginning to wonder if I wasn't meant to make this trip, but after leaving at 6 a.m., my husband texted me a few minutes later that the power went back down right after I left! So here we are!

Yesterday we toured the Stampin' Up! Home Office and Distribution Center. I have visited here before, but Joanne had not.The building is beautiful, with a waterfall in the front atrium, which you can see the trees just a bit in the background of this picture. Stampin' Up! is known for their quality products and attention to detail, and this facility is a perfect example of just that!

We had a bit of an adventure on the bus heading to the Home Office. At a stoplight, our bus changed lanes and then had to stop and back up just a little bit when the light turned red. A little car behind us ran into the back of the bus! Neither vehicle was damaged, but we spent several minutes on the side of the road waiting for the police report. We were one of the last tours of the day, and so grateful we didn't miss out!

I will be back this evening with the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! Our theme this month is "Forever Friends". The hop starts tonight at 9 p.m Central, remaining up all day tomorrow, so be sure to come back to check it out and take the hop!

I am VERY EXCITED because today we get to see the NEW 2016/2017 ANNUAL CATALOG! squeeee! I won't be able to share anything with you until next week after the catalog goes live for all demonstrators worldwide, but I will be seeing, learning, and using new products over the next few days, so rest assured I will be sharing with you!

This is the LAST WEEK for the Weekly Deals, (sad face), but Stampin' Up! has given us a HUGE list of deals for the final hurrah!

Also, the 2016 Retiring List of Stamps and Accessories will be released on Monday, April 18. I will be posting it here on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! English Rose for April Online Class!

Posted on April 9, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been doing a lot of stamping this week, as well as cutting a lot of paper, prepping for classes later this month after I return from the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live in Salt Lake City next week! Today I have one card I've created for the April Online Class using English Garden Designer Paper, Rose Garden Framelits, and the Watercolor Wishes stamp set.

I've re-discovered my stash of English Garden designer paper, which retires on May 31st (and may disappear before then when the Retiring Stamps & Accessories List goes live on April 18!)

This card is really easy. After layering the two designs of English Garden on a 4 1/4" x 11" Tip Top Taupe folded card base, I sponged the edges with Tip To Taupe ink. I wrapped 20" of Tip Top Taupe 1" Dotted Lace Trim around the front to tie in a bow. This lace is TO DIE FOR! If you don't have any of it, you NEED it! It's delicate, soft, and stretchy to make perfect bows! I wish we had this lace in more colors! I cut out a couple of Blushing Bride roses with my Rose Garden Thinlets, sponged on more Blushing Bride, then adhered with glue dots.

The greeting, stamped with Tip Top Taupe, is from Watercolor Wishes, a set you can only get when you order the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit.

Inside I used another sentiment from Watercolor Wishes and an edge of another Blushing Bride rose.

This card, along with two more designs, is included in the pack of 6 completed cards with envelopes and instructions to make more when you place an order of at least $35 in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Watercolor Wishes Card Kit [140406] $35.00	English Garden Designer Series Paper [138440] $11.00	Rose Garden Thinlits Dies [140619] $31.00	Tip Top Taupe 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [138336] $7.00

Stampin’ Up! A Beautiful Ride!

Posted on April 8, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a request for a Beautiful Ride card at a workshop this month. They fell in love with a card from my display, so I CASED myself! You can view the original card HERE.

My self-CASE:

I used the same layout as my original, but used all different colors and papers.

The Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper worked perfectly for a vintage look, and I used colors from the paper for the card base and layers; Basic Black and Lost Lagoon. I embossed the Lost Lagoon layers with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions folder. I added a punched flower from the Tree Builder Punch and a Cajun Craze Candy dot to the congrats banner cut with a Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlets die.

After stamping the "bug" on the Hello Honey cross-hatch design, I added the flowers and "Love" with the same Archival black ink. I colored the tires with a Project Life Journaling Pen. I LOVE those pens! I added a Cajun Craze Candy Dot to the tire centers for a more color pop.

This set just works with the Z-fold. I punched clouds with the Tree Builder Punch from the opposite side of the same paper I stamped and cut out the "bug"from.

I stamped the sentiments directly on the Lost Lagoon layer before embossing with the Softly Falling folder. I lined the envelope with another Botanical Gardens design, cut with the Envelope Liner die.

Good news! The Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlets Dies are ON SALE this week on the Weekly Deals! There are FIFTEEN items on the Weekly Deals this week, so be sure to check them out below or in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
