Good morning! Hope you are ready for today! I am REEEEALLLLY excited, because this afternoon is my New Catalog Open House and BOGO sale of my retired products! Just a few more tweaks to a few things and I will be READY!

On another exciting note, Stampin' Up! announced a new promotion for June with 25% off three greeting stamp sets! Cool!

At 25% off, it just makes sense to add one (or two!) of these to your next order! Let me show you what they look like:

Sassy Salutations:

Sweet Essentials:

Petite Pairs:

All products are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Before I go and finish up my Open House prep, let me show you this

A fun sample using the new catalog set, Sketched Birthday! Sweet! I have this set from Leadership in Orlando in January! yay! The designer paper is the new Birthday Basics. I love the colors in this pack: Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe, Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, and Very Vanilla! Yummy!

Well, that's all for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! NEW Sketched Birthday!

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Monday Morning to you! I have some fun samples to show you today from the swap in Fiji, using the upcoming new Annual Catalog set, Sketched Birthday! Go HERE to see my Fiji swap using this set. Let's jump right in, shall we?

All products used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

First, a fun little 4×4 card using the new In Colors of Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding!

This swap uses the not-retiring designer paper, Polka Dot Parade, and one of the Apothecary Accents framelits to cut out the greeting!

More Polka Dot Parade paper, Apothecary Accents framelits, and Bitty Banners framelits!

This sample combines Sketched Birthday with our first photopolymer stamp set, Designer Type, which was used to creat the banner. New designer paper was used, Epic Day!

Our final sample today combines Sketched Birthday with Flowering Flourishes. The unique feature of this one is the correction fluid the creator used to accent the Jet Black StazOn-stamped images, giving this one a "bandana" feel! There are actually several household and office-related items that can be utilized very easily to embellish your creations! I hope to be showing you some of those in the coming days!

That's all for today! Hope you've enjoyed Sketched Birthday, which will be available to order on May 31st!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Fiji Bound!

Posted on April 28, 2013 by Carol Payne

Today is going to be a looooong day for me! We fly out of St. Louis to Chicago at 1:20 p.m., then it's off to L.A. with about a 5 hour layover, then we fly out of L.A. at about midnight, arriving in Fiji in the wee sma's of the morning! Stampin' Up! will have a breakfast ready for us when we get there, and then I'll bet I will be ready for a big nap!

I am all packed and ready to go! My swaps are done and packed, safe in my carry-on along with my brand-spankin' New Annual Catalog! I've viewed the catalog online already, but I am saving a good long browse for the plane rides! yay!

Today I have my Fiji swap to show you. I made 26 of these, 25 to swap and 1 for Stampin' Up!

At Leadership this past January, Stampin' Up! gave everyone in attendance this new catalog stamp set, Sketched Birthday, so I decided to create my swap with it! I chose Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper because it is CARRYING OVER into the New Catalog, so I decided to use Real Red and Marina Mist, which are two of the page colors, for my color palette. The images and paper are all punched with the Postage Stamp Punch. I embossed the Whisper White layer with the Chevron Folder, and added Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details for a little bling!

Here are some close-ups of the bling:

Stampin' Up! offered two bottles of the Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details as a demonstrator incentive recently. I've always been a sucker for an incentive carrot! It's fun to be able to use a completely FREE product, which is another fun perk of being a demonstrator!

Well, I must close for now and finish getting ready to go! My son, Troy, will be here soon and we will be on our way to a week in Fabulous Fiji!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
