Stampin’ UP! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop December Edition A New Year!

Stampin’ UP! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop December Edition A New Year!

Hey there! It's December 15h, Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop time! yay!

1723402_10152213035905070_85588169_n

The theme is "A New Year", and if you're already on the hop you've seen some fun creations! I just LOVE what Stella MacKay of Stellar Stamps comes up with every month, don't you?

When I think of "A New Year", I naturally imagine parties, toasts, resolutions, and kisses at midnight. Stampin' Up! has perfect products to create invitations, cards, decorations, and scrap book pages to highlight theses festivities.

However, for 2015 "A New Year", all I'm thinking about is new grandbabies! TWO of my three daughters are due to give birth sometime in the next few weeks, so I created this card using both current and sneak peek products from the upcoming 2015 Spring Occasions Catalog:

Stampin_up_zoo_babies_sweet_dreams_1 - Copy

The first 2015 grandbaby is a boy! I used Zoo Babies, Baby We've Grown, and Itty Bitty Banners stamps with Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, and sneaky-peeky Sweet Dreams Designer Paper. I can hardly wait to show you the new product I'm using to form the letters to add his name after he gets here!

Stampin_up_zoo_babies_sweet_dreams_2 - Copy

I used bits and pieces from all three sets on the front, accented  by the sparkle of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. I  tied a bit of Soft Sky Painted Blooms Cotton Twine (also a Sneak Peek) around the Lost Lagoon 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon bow for extra softness.

Except for the dimensional-popped-up-ear, all images were cut with a Big Shot framelit!

A clean & simple inside sentiment from Big News, framed above and below with 1/2" strips of Sweet Dreams Designer Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop October Edition Thankfully Grateful!

Stampin’ Up! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop October Edition Thankfully Grateful!

Hey there! After last month's hard-drive failure, I'm so grateful to be back for the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! The "Thankful/Grateful" theme goes hand-in-hand with how I feel : truly thankful for my family, my health, my faith, my church, and a job I love sharing papercrafting!

If you are already on the hop, you've just come from Stella MacKay's blog, Stellar Stamps. I loved Stella's creation this month, didn't you?

My creation today combines two of my favorite stamping techniques, Baby-Wipes and Triple Time!

I inked the "thanks" stamp from Seasonally Scattered with Cajun Craze, Hello Honey, and Baked Brown Sugar reinker that I dropped onto a baby wipe:

Stampin_up_seasonally_scattered_1

I was able to do ALL the stamping on ALL the Very Vanilla layers AND the envelope with just ONE inked-up baby wipe! I even stamped the Autumn Wooden Elements with the Seasonally Scattered stamp and/or pressed the element directly onto the inked baby wipe.

All Very Vanilla layers were embossed with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions folder, all three layers at the same time!

I hope to show you this gorgeous combined technique in a video soon!

Inside I used a From My Heart sentiment:

Stampin’ Up! No Sunday Swap Day, yet!

Stampin’ Up! No Sunday Swap Day, yet!

Hey there. No Sunday Swap Day, "yet". I say "yet" because the wayward discs have been found! yay! After I turned my house upside down throughout the day yesterday, my sweet husband came home and found them after only about 30 minutes! It's not that he knew where to look, he just sifted through some shelves that I hadn't look through enough.

Another bright side to this: some areas of my house that have need serious organization have been paid attention to! yay!

Troy will be bringing the laptop back to me this afternoon, and if all goes well, should have me up and running by this evening! yay!

Just in time too, as tomorrow is the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! I have my project ready, I will just have to re-load the pictures onto my new hard drive, edit, and post!

Also, a friend is coming over this afternoon to help me work on my Founder's Circle swaps, all 113 of them! My daughter, Kimberly, is going to help too, so it should go much faster than just me by myself! yikes!

So hoping to get a few quick swaps on here later today. If not, I will post them on Tuesday after the blog hop is over.

Be sure to check back at least tomorrow for the hop! Our theme this month is "Spook-tacular", so I bet you can guess what that means! lol! Come take the hop tomorrow, starting with my blog (I hope!), then "hopping" through 12 other of my Stampin' Up! demonstrator sister's blogs to see their fun projects!

If something goes wrong with the laptop re-start, I will post the listed links for the hop so you can take it even if I can't post my project.

That's all for now, time to get ready for church!

Until tomorrow, or later today, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop August Edition Back to School!

Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop August Edition Back to School!

Hey there! It's Stampers Dozen Blog Hop Day! YAY!

1797524_10152216933805070_1250170996_n

Augusts' theme is "Back to School"! One of my daughters is a teacher, so I consulted with her in Walmart a few days ago:

Stampin_up_flashback_school_1

The "mason jar mugs" have been at Walmart all summer and are on clearance right now, so I purchased  a small mug because all the big ones were gone!

Inside I put items to help a teacher get through those first days of back-to-school:

  • Tylenol Extra Strength
  • Band-aids
  • Tums
  • Chocolate!

The tag I am especially excited about!

Stampin_up_flashback_school_tag

I started with a Basic Black tag cut with the next-to-largest Banner Framelit, then layered on a next-to-next-to-largest banner cut from Flashback Designer Paper.

I added:

"SCHOOLS COOL!" – Alphabet Rotary Stamp, underscored with a Show & Tell 1 Photopolymer (cut with a new skinny banner framelit coming in the Holiday Catalog!)

"STAY CALM AND BE AWESOME"- Show & Tell 2 Photopolymer, punched with Ticket Duo.

"SHOW & TELL" – Show & Tell 2 Photopolymer, punched with the Banner Punch.

"THIS WEEK" – Project Life Remember This, punched with the Word Window.

The globe – Wanderlust Photopolymer, punched with the 1 inch Circle.

"WOW!" – Honeycomb Hello, also punched with the Banner punch.

The hole for the Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon with the 1/4" Handheld Punch.

Here's the supply list for today's project. Everything can be ordered from my Online Store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

When you click on an image, it will be enlarged in my store, and you can throw it in your shopping cart if you like!

Stampin’ Up! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop July Edition Hot Hot Hot!

Stampin’ Up! Stampers Dozen Blog Hop July Edition Hot Hot Hot!

Hey there! It's the 15th of the month, which means it's time for:

970616_10152216696390070_1901389811_n

July's theme is "Hot, Hot, Hot!" and if you just arrived from Stella MacKay's blog, Stellar Stamps you saw her fabulous creations with the Ray of Sunshine stamp set! I love Stella's use of the diagonal "rays" of color for her background, very retro 60's/70's-ish!

My first project today also uses the Ray of Sunshine set:

Stampin_up_ray_of_sunshine_1 - Copy

I used one of the Starburst Framelit Dies to cut the center of the sun, then added 9 banner-punched "rays". I sponged all the Daffodil Delight cardstock with Tangerine Tango ink.

A new Project Life Journaling Pen worked perfect to hand-draw the sunny little face, and I used the White Chalk marker to faux-stitch around the Kraft cardstock base.

I rounded the corners with the corner rounder on the Envelope Punch Board, and created the white copy-paper envelope with the punch board too!

Stampin_up_ray_of_sunshine_2 - Copy

The greeting and the inside sentimet, both from Ray of Sunshine, were stamped with the new Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and the tiny little heart from the Project LIfe Point & Click set was stamped with Melon Mambo ink.

What would Hot, Hot, Hot, be without a riot of yellow and orange blossoms? We made the Ray of Sunshine card and this one with the Flower Patch and Mixed Bunch sets at my Punch & Technique Class this month:

Stampin_up_mixed_bunch_flower_patch_1 - Copy

"Your in My Thoughts" from A Dozen Thoughts was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink BEFORE we embossed the Daffodil Delight layer with the Stylish Stripes folder.

The Flower Patch stamps are a breeze to stamp with the Stampin' Pierce Mat under the cardstock, and the Mixed Bunch blossom really added the Tangerine Tango "punch" needed to make this card really bright & happy!

Stampin_up_mixed_bunch_flower_patch_3 - Copy

We used the darkest Pumpkin Pie Blendability alcohol marker to color the Rhinestones before adding them to the flower centers.

Stampin_up_flower_patch_mixed_bunch_2 - Copy

Inside we stamped my FAVORITE phrase from Perfect Pennants with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Stampin_up_mixed_bunch_flower_patch_4 - Copy

Here's the class handout for Ray of Sunshine:

The handout for Flower Patch/Mixed Bunch:

All of the supplies for these projects can be found in My Online Store.

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