Stampin’Up! Delightful Dozen Valentine!

Stampin’Up! Delightful Dozen Valentine!

Hey there! I went to Hoyleton tonight to do a Stamp Camp for Ruth Czerwonka, and we had a really good evening! Ruth has been stamping with me for several years. She is also my favorite Pampered Chef lady, so she does at least one P.C. party, sometimes two, for me every year.

Ruth chose 4 really cute cards for her friends to make for the $10 fee. The one I'm going to share with you today is actually a re-do of a valentine I showed you HERE.

Stampin_up_delightful_dozen_1

The stamps I used for the first valentine retired on the 27th, so they would not be available to order when we actually submit the party when it closes. I re-did it with a the valentine greeting from Delightful Dozen, using the same layout and Big Shot products, the Arrows Textured Impressions Folder and Hearts a Flutter Framelit Dies.

Stampin_up_seasonal_sayings_1

Inside I substituted a sentiment from Seasonal Sayings.

Well, that's all for now! Sale-a-bration starts in  just a few hours, yay! A free product from the Sale-a-bration brochure for every $50 you spend (before tax & shipping) yay!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Wreath with Baby Wipes!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Wreath with Baby Wipes!

I had a good day of playing with my stamps on Wednesday. Mainly I worked on projects for my classes this weekend (which I still have some room in the Saturday classes from 1-6, by the way), but after playing with the Wonderful Wreath stamp for a Christmas Card I decided to back up a bit and use this stamp for a fall card too:

Fall wonderful wreath

I used the Baby Wipe Technique to ink the stamp with Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive! I used the Beautiful Baroque Textured Impressions folder on the Cajun Craze layer. Before attaching the Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding bow with a Glue Dot I moistened the ends of the ribbon and crumpled them with my fingers. The greeting, "thanks is for giving" is from Seasonal Sayings. I cut it out with one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies. After matting the greeting with an Early Espresso label the same size but cut in half to "stretch" it, I added a Cherry Cobbler Candy Dot to each side of the "thanks".

Wonderful wreath 2
Inside the card I inked the Wonderful Wreath stamp with the Baby Wipe pad to stamp the wreath again. I stamped a phrase from Field Flowers inside the wreath.

This card will be one of the 6 cards we will be making at my "Falling Into Fall" Card Class on Friday, October 18th from 1-9 p.m. Class fee is a low $10 to make all 6 cards with envelopes. Class is free with a $25 order.

Stampin’ Up! Geometric Best of Birthdays!

Stampin’ Up! Geometric Best of Birthdays!

Today's card is another CASE (and change) from the talented Artisan stamper, Wendy Wexler! This project was another of the Punch Club projects from this weekend using several Stampin' Up! Square Punches and Best of Birthdays stamp set!

Geometrics 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the retiring River Rock cardstock and ink, as well as retiring Certainly Celery cardstock. After running the Very Vanilla layer through the Big Shot in the Chevron Textured Impressions Folder I used the River Rock inkpad Direct-to-Paper to ink up the raised chevron pattern.

Geometrics 2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The inside word is from Seasonal Sayings, a Holiday Catalog set that is on the Carry Over List in the Occasions Catalog. I used the River Rock inkpad again Direct-to-Paper to get the swished-ink look!

I used a BUNCH of Stampin' Up! Square punches to make this card:

1" Square Punch #124094 $15.95

1 1/4" Square Punch  #119865 $15.95

1 3/8" Square Punch  #119877 $16.95

Postage Stamp Punch #122344 $15.95

Here's how I made those cute little "square rings":

Geometrics 3
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I punched the Real Red cardstock first with the 1" Square Punch, then set aside the punched-out square to use elsewhere on the card. I then inserted the negative image from the punching into the Postage Stamp punch, "eyeballed" it for eveness, and punched out the cutest little "square ring" you ever saw!

After embossing the various-sized squares with the Perfect Polka Dot, Square Lattice, and Chevron Textured Impressions Folders, I attached them to the card front with SNAIL adhesive and Tombow Multi-purpose Adhesive Glue (on the skinny little square rings!)

That's it for today! I'm going to be working on the projects for my "Flower Fair Simply Scrappin' Kit Class" this Friday, so check back tomorrow to see some of the projects we will be making!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Petite Pennant Trees!

Stampin’Up! Petite Pennant Trees!

I so apologize for this late post, but today I have been having my "Holiday Card Bonanza" at my house, and it's been pretty busy!

Pennant parade 1©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

Today's card is one I am featuring as part of the Punch/Technique Club this month. I CASEd the general idea to punch cardstock and DSP with the smaller, smooth-edged Petite Pennants Builder Punch to create the darling little grove of Christmas trees from someone's blog, but I collected the idea ages ago and now I have no idea whose it was! If you know whose original idea this was, please let me know so I can give them credit!

Anyway, I punched Garden Green cardstock with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch, then ran it through the Big Shot inside the skinny little hearts folder from the Adorning Accents Folder, then punched a bunch of trees from Garden Green, Certainly Celery, and Always Artichoke Designer Paper.

I embossed the Whisper White background with the Northern Flurry Folder, and added Basic Jewel Rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes and the top of the Garden Green cardstock tree for some bling!

Can you guess what the tiny little red bow is from on the base of the tree? It's a very skinny-cut piece of Cherry Cobbler 3 1/2" Scallop Tulle!

I finished off the front with the Christmas collage phrase from Seasonal Sayings. You can purchase this whole set of 5 stamps or any of them individually until January 2nd.

Well, I guess I'm done for now. I have had just enough of a sliver of time between waves of stampers to pop a little bit of supper in the oven and type up this post!

I promise an earlier post tomorrow! Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!
