Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! Today is a really busy day. First thing this morning I am helping with the babies in the nursery, then right after church is over we are throwing a bridal shower for a good friend of our family. As soon as we clean up from the shower it will be time for the evening service. Whew! I’m tired already! I am in charge of the shower decorations, and I am really happy with what I came up with to go with the bride’s wedding theme of Teal, Red, Burlap, and Pearls. I hope to have some pics to share with you tomorrow!

But even with all the busyness, it’s still Sunday Swap Day, so here we go!

Today’s swaps have a decidedly masculine feel.

This swap created by pairing The Open Sea with the World Map background is simple but packs a lot of visual interest. Unfortunately, the creators’ name has been separated from the creation.

Second, Mary Waring achieved a stunning rendition of World Map by coloring the  “map” with Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz. She used the suitcase from the Traveler set and a phrase from Really Good Greetings.

Third, Becky NIchols combined the Hardwood background with the Moon Lake set. I really like how she used the Window Frames Framelits Dies to cut out and mat the bird image, then used one of the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits to cut out the greeting!

Finally, Ruth Anne Lilley also used Hardwood and Moon Lake, but used the swish stamp from Work of Art to easily add color to the tree and boat image!

That’s all for now. I must get ready for this busy day!

Here’s the link to my online store to order your supplies to make your own version of these cards:

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Another Thank You Bokeh Technique!

Stampin’ Up! Another Thank You Bokeh Technique!

Hey there! Whew! What a whirlwind the last 5 days have been, between taxes, a Birthday Card Buffet, and the free shipping promotion, I am exhausted. Tomorrow afternoon we are throwing a wedding shower for a girl from our church, and the list goes on for next week!

Today's card expresses how I've felt the past few days with the response I've received with the free shipping offer:

Stampin_up_another_thank_you_bokeh_technique
THANK YOU one & all! Everyone who placed an online order with me this week will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail soon!

This card uses the Bokeh Technique to achieve the look of light glinting and flaring in the background. Here's a quick rundown of how to do it:

1. Starting with a neutral cardstock, such as Very Vanilla or Whisper White, sponge color in random areas, overlapping the colors just a bit.

2. Punch or cut circles of varying sizes into a sheet of card stock or acetate (window sheet). The circles need to be different sizes and not punched in lines, they need to be punched randomly. You are creating a sponging stencil.

3. Lay the stencil over the sponged card stock. Sponge Whisper White Craft ink into the circle openings. Sponge some of the circles lighter and some darker. Move the stencil a little bit and repeat the sponging with White Craft ink. Continue to move and sponge until you like the effect.

4. Allow to air-dry or speed up the drying time with a Heat Tool.

5. Stamp over the Bokeh background with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Stampin’ Up! Pictogram Punches!

Stampin’ Up! Pictogram Punches!

Hey there! How are you doing today? I am very happy to report that we were able to complete all the tax prep for my daughter yesterday and I still had time to come home and work on mine some more. Yes, mine are NOT done yet. That'll teach me to think twice before predicting such things, won't it? I think I doomed myself. My taxes are taking MUCH longer than I expected. sigh.

The bright spot in my week, however, will be my Birthday Card Buffet tomorrow and Saturday, which I AM ready for! yay!

Since I'm up-to-my-elbows in expense receipts and all of that what-not, I am itching to stamp something, but since I am up to my said elbows in non-stamping stuff, I decided to share a card AND the project sheet to go with it. (I'm trying to make it up to you for putting up with all of my tax-time whining. wink!)

This card was created with the Pictogram Punches, Gorgeous Grunge, and Crazy about You stamp sets. I love how the diagonal-striped stamp from Gorgeous Grunge looks like washi tape!

Stampin_up_pictogram_punches

Just a little bit of stamping, a bit of fussy-cutting with Paper Snips, corner-rounding with the Envelope Punch Board, and some popping-up with Stampin' Dimensionals and this is a quick and easy card!

Stampin’ Up! Save on Shipping and a Bow Builder Punch Card!

Stampin’ Up! Save on Shipping and a Bow Builder Punch Card!

Hey there! Have I mentioned lately that this is the ONLY week of the year Stampin' Up! offers FREE SHIPPING? Actually it's only 5 days and this is day 3 already! Eeek! If you haven't placed your order yet, what are you waiting for?

Maybe you've been waiting to see this card, which is the final sample for my Birthday Card Buffet this weekend, using the Lovely Amazing You set, Stacked With Love Washi Tape, and the Bow Builder Punch:

Stampin_up_lovely_amazing_you_1 - Copy

This will be a really quick and easy card to make. The Stacked With Love Washi Tape is re-positionable if you need to adjust the placement because it is a low-tack tape, and the Real Red bow goes together in a snap when you use Glue Dots!

Stampin_up_lovely_amazing_you_2 - Copy

A sentiment from Really Good Greetings and a few more strips of Stacked With Love Washi tape make quick work for the inside. We will be using the Tape It set to stamp on the envelope with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The stamps in Tape It make it look like you are using pieces of washi tape, so you can stamp them any color you want! Cool!

That's all for now. Now that I'm all warmed up from doing my taxes, today I'm off to my daughter's to help her with hers! Am I a glutton for punishment or what? At least I don't have to write a check for her taxes too! lol!

Here's the supply list for today's card. Use it as your guide when you shop in my online store and get free shipping while you are there, and a free Thank You Project Packet in the mail from me later this month!
