Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden Suspension Card!

Posted on July 22, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Monday morning! I know a lot of people dread Mondays, and I must admit when I had a full-time day-job I dreaded Mondays too, but now that I am a full-time Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, that Sunday-night-a-little-bit-sick-to-my-stomach feeling is no more and I actually look forward to Mondays! A fresh new week, full of promise, full of energy, full of TIME to accomplish so much! The whole tone of my week is set by how much I accomplish on Monday!

Right now I'm still at Alisa's, helping her regain her strength after Oakley's birth and mentoring her with the process of learning how to care for a newborn, and I'm loving it. I will still be here for a few more days, so I'm savoring every chance I get to cuddle on this sweet little man!

That said, obviously I have had zero time to create anything new, and although I have TONS of ideas running through my head right now, they will just have to wait!

Until I get back to stamping I will have to rely on a few more swap pictures from my collection. Today's card is from a second monthly swap I have joined, sponsored by my good friend, Meg Wheeler!

This card was created by one of the girls in her downline. I don't have the card with me here at Alisa's so I can't give you the creator's name, but when I get home I will try to remember to update this post with that info.

This card is a suspension card using the Secret Garden stamps and framelits, the Ovals Collection Framelits, Label Love stamps and Artisan Label punch:

Cardstock:Gumball Green, Whisper White

Designer Paper: Epic Day This & That

Ink: Gumball Green, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral

Accessory: Linen Thread

That's all for now! Hope your day Stampingrox! I know mine will with Oakley to cuddle!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day #1!

Posted on July 7, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Sunday morning to you! I've decided to make Sundays be "Swap Day"; the day I showcase swaps I have received during the previous month. Some will have the creators name but some will not due to either the creator not adding their info to the back of their swap or the info fell out of the inside during transit, but

Stampin’ Up! Owl Anniversary!

Posted on June 30, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Yesterday was a fun day! I went to my aunt & uncles 60th Wedding Anniversary Celebration, and I was able to see relatives I haven't seen in years, talk & laugh with my favorite cousins, and see pictures of my ancestors I had never seen before!

I took several pictures of the pictures (I figure that's the only way I will ever be able to have copies, right?) and I want to share a few of those with you at a later date (some have interesting stories), but today I want to share the card I made for the celebrated couple:

This card is a souped-up version of one of the cards we made at my "Best of" class this past Friday. Not too hard to figure out, the bow for her hair was made with 2 of the hearts from the Owl Builder Punch and his bow-tie was made with the cut off feet from the same punch!

The inside phrase is from the Best of Brides & Babies 25th Anniversary Collection set, I added the "both" with my Basic Black marker.

I finished off the envelope with the Fancy Fan folder embossing the flap and a Secret Garden leaf framelit.

That's all for now! I'm off to Sunday morning church!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Yes Mam’s! Shoebox Swap Card #3, #4, & #5!

Posted on June 25, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I have THREE card ideas for you today, brought to you by Martha Swift, Kristen Hoffman, and Sherry Chrisman!

Martha's card uses the yummy color combo of Strawberry Slush and Whisper White! Martha embossed the Strawberry Slush layer with the Stripes Textured Impressions Folder, punched the lower edge with the Scallop Edge Border Punch, then added Gingham Garden Designer Paper cut with the Ovals Collection Framelits! Inside the oval opening we stamped the "Hello" from Lacy & Lovely with Basic Gray ink, then added a Strawberry Slush-stamped flower from Secret Garden cut with one of the Secret Garden Framelits. A Primrose Petals In-Color Dahlia coordinates wonderfully with the Strawberry Slush color! I love the crisp, clean lines of this card!

One of my newest recruits, Kristen, designed this quick-and-easy card using a set I've always admired but never have gotten around to ordering, Bootiful Occasions! Kristen chose Midnight Muse and Cherry Cobbler for her colors. The Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding ribbon really pulls this simple design together!

Sherry Chrisman's design combines the beautiful Swallowtail butterfly stamp with Crisp Cantaloupe ink! For a bit of bling she heat-embossed the phrase from Million & One with Silver Embossing Powder on Brushed Silver cardstock and added one tiny Basic Jewel Rhinestone. The edges of this layer were cut with the Large Scallop Edgelit. Brushed Silver-punched Bitty Butterflies finish this card off beautifully!

That's all for today! I will be back tomorrow with one more Shoebox Swap creation by Tudy Hoffman!

Hope your day Stampingrox!

Happy Father’s Day! Secret Garden Masked Corners Re-visited!

Posted on June 16, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy Father's Day! I'm sure many of you will be preparing a meal, or get-together for the fathers in your life, so I will make this a quick post!

My dad passed away 19 years ago. I still miss him and think of him often. He was a great Dad and an even GREATER grandpa! Just ask my oldest three: Jessica, Kimberly, and Troy, they will tell you Grandpa Wall was the BEST!

Yesterday I prepped for my workshops this coming week. One of them is a monthly class/club, so I see several of the same stampers every month. Last month they picked THIS CARD from my display to do this month. Two of the ink colors, all of the word stamps, and the ribbon retired on May 31, so I re-worked the card using all current products:

What do you think? I kept the Secret Garden stamps and Framelits Collection, then substituted Blushing Bride for Pretty in Pink, Pear Pizzazz for Lucky Limeade, Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon for Certainly Celery ribbon, and a phrase from Best of Greetings instead of the retired Friendly Phrases.

Inside I switched out the Beautiful Birthday stamp (one of my all-time favs) for one of the stamps from the new Million & One set (which is quickly becoming a NEW fav of mine)!

Well,I still have some things to prep and gather together for the day! It's church first, of course, then grilling out at Jessica's, swimming, (maybe a nap, who knows?), and generally hanging out with the entire family the rest of the day! I can't wait!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Day for Sunday!

Posted on June 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! Today is a really amazing day for our church! The Carpenter's for Christ have been at Ina Free Will Baptist Church this past week everyday, 117 men from all professions and several different states, to raise the rafters and build the shell for our new sanctuary. They do the work for FREE, so they are saving our congregation thousands and thousands of dollars! They will be here for TWO whole weeks and since today is the weekend that connects those two weeks, we are having our church service with these men down at our local grade school so we have room for everyone, then after church we are all having a dinner together too! It's going to be a great day!

Yesterday I worked on my projects for my four workshops next week, and here is a really cute, happy one, inspired by Debbie Crawley, using the new catalog set, Happy Day!

Strawberry Slush, Gumball Green, and Whisper White pair to make a cheerful statement to "Smile"! The flower is Strawberry Slush 2013-2015 In Color Designer Paper cut with a Floral Frames Framelit, and the flower stem is Gumball Green cardstock cut with the leaf from the Secret Garden framelits. The center of the flower is punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch. Overall, a pretty Clean-and-Simple card!

I just love this phrase from another new set, Really Good Greetings. I can tell I'm going to be using this set a lot this year!

Well, I've got to get finish getting ready for today! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
