Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Pop-up Gift Card Holder!

Good morning! Thought it was time to give you the directions to make the Secret Garden Fancy Fold Gift Card Holder!

I have showed you a couple of versions of this card HERE and HERE.

Today's card is the same as the second version:

Sycamore Secret Garden 1

The dimensions for the card are 4 1/4" x 11, scored at 2 1/2 x 6 7/8".

To make it simpler, here's my class handout with all the tips and tricks, including a "mini-tutorial" to make the "bradded bow"!

Stampin’ Up! Torn Masking and French Foliage!

Stampin’ Up! Torn Masking and French Foliage!

Today's sample is from my February swap stash. This card was made by Sherri Beyrer and reminds me of the card I showed you back in October 2012 here.

Beautiful card, isn't it? And even though I usually think of French Foliage as a fall stamp set, it works perfectly for the "masculine" theme of last month's swap! I especially love the additional leaf she cut out and attached (it's covered in Crystal Effects although you can't tell from this photo) and how she embossed the whole top  layer with the Woodgrain Folder after she was finished with the torn masking and stamping.

That's all for today! I'm swamped this week with end-of-Sale-a-bration parties 4 out of the 5 weekdays this week, then I'm off with my downline to the Stampin' Up! St. Louis Regional this Saturday! I need to get some swaps made, so hopefully I will have some new creations to share with you soon! And after Saturday I will have some swap board samples AND fresh swaps to share!

Don't forget! You can go to my website any time, night or day, to order Stampin' Up! products:

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

If you order before Friday at midnight you will receive the three tutorials to create fun 3-D items using the Simply Sent Happy Hello Kit FREE from me! This freebie is for everyone who orders from me Online, no matter the size of the order! (but remember, for every $50 you order through Friday you can also choose a free Sale-a-bration item too!)

So until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Rain or Shine, and YES I WAS FREAKED!

Stampin’ Up! Rain or Shine, and YES I WAS FREAKED!

Good morning! Just a REALLLLY quick post this morning! My sister-in-law, Debbie, and her daughter and grandson are coming today! They will most likely be here before noon, and I still have lots to do to be ready for their arrival!

To report about the 3rd season of "Downton Abbey": yes, I WAS freaked! Come on, killing off TWO primary characters in ONE season? Are you kidding me? But of course, you can't let people be really happy for very long in a soap opera, even a British one, can you? Looking forward to the 4th season NEXT YEAR! A long time to wait, but DVD's will help!

Today's quick card needs very little explanation. I've seen versions of this Rain or Shine card on several websites, so can't really give credit to one person, so I won't try:


Rain or Shine 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The key to punching the 2 1/2" Circle negative image? Cut your paper strip to punch 2 3/8" wide, then leave an equal amount of space showing above and below the strip when you punch it (just a sliver shows top & bottom) like this:


Rain or shine 3
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the Stamp-a-majig to stamp the umbrella handle. I usually try to purchase wood-mount stamps when the images beg to be Stamp-a-majigged like this one does! For me it's easier to stamp the image once on a piece of Cardstock Vellum with the wood block. I then save the stamped Vellum in the box with the stamps so I never have to re-stamp it like you do when you use a clear-mount stamp with the Stamp-a-majig. You KNOW the stamp on the wood block isn't ever going to move!

The inside is a clean and simple as the outside with a phrase from Friendly Phrases:


Rain or shine 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

That's it for today! I've got to get busy!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

My 500th Blog Post! Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fancy Fold!

My 500th Blog Post! Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Fancy Fold!

Good morning! I am especially excited today to be writing my 500th blog post! So excited that I am offering a Stampin' Up! Stampin' Trimmer as a gift to one lucky person who leaves a comment here on my blog today! I started this promotion yesterday in anticipation of my 500th post, but so far only ONE person has left a comment! I can hardly BELIEVE it! Everyone who comments today will get a chance in the drawing, so COME ON STAMPERS, leave me some comments!

In honor of this MOMENTOUS occasion (at least for me!) I created this card:
Secret garden 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the card I showed you here back on the first of March as my template, then got busy changing the color scheme! I used Daffodil Delight cardstock for my base, Floral District Designer Paper, and the Secret Garden Bundle from the Occasions catalog.

Sometimes when I am creating from "scratch" it takes me a long time and sacrifices several pieces of cardstock before I am happy with the result, but this time the creative juices flowed freely and I had my sample to my pleasing in a very short amount of time!

I had been thinking that this type of fold would lend itself nicely as a gift-card holder, and I was right!

Secret garden 3
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Folder, "Happiness" from Loving Thoughts,  and the "just for you" from the Pop-up Posies Designer Kit to finish things off.

Well, how's that for a 500th blog post? I am so pleased to have reached the 500 mark, now it's on to 1000!

Don't forget to leave me a comment to get your name in the drawing for the Stampin' Trimmer!

I need to close for now, my son, Logan is coming home this evening for a long weekend from school, and my sister-in-law, Debbie is coming this weekend, so I have lots to prepare!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
