Stampin’Up! Baby We’ve Grown for the Boys!

Posted on March 3, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's post is a continuation from yesterday's using "Baby, We've Grown" from the Occasions Catalog, this time for a boy!

Circle Card Thinlet Die again, with Smoky Slate, Soft Sky, and Whisper White for my colors. Texture was added with the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Folder.

On the "flip" side is another stamp from "Baby We've Grown", colored with my Blender Pen and ink from my Soft Sky inkpad. I added another "baby" Envelope Punch Board envelope to insert a gift card.

Here's the bunny up close so you could see how I watercolored him with Smoky Slate ink and my Blender Pen. I added some darker lines of Smoky Slate along the edges to give him some shadows. Even though I am not very experienced at watercolor, this stamp made adding the shading easy!

I stamped the bow tie area of the bunny on a bit of Soft Sky Designer Paper, then fussy-cut with Paper Snips. I laid the bow tie on my Silicone Craft Mat before adding a bit of SNAIL to it. The SNAIL stuck just to the paper but not to the mat or anything else! yay!

The "cute boy" words from the little boy shoes in the set. I used a Basic Gray Stampin' Write marker to only ink the words before stamping on Soft Sky carstock. One of the punches from the Little Labels Punch Pack punched it out perfectly!

That's all for now. I've been working on several fun new projects you will be seeing soon.Tomorrow is my final "Baby We've Grown" card for now, this time with the little owl family stamp, so come back to see me on Wednesday!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Watercolor!

Posted on February 7, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is my "Happiest Day" class for February! yay! I love to play with my stamps all on my own, but I love it even more when friends come over to play with my stamps with me!

Today's card is one we will be making in class using the Happy Watercolor stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. This card is inspired by a swap I received from Tamra Davis at Leadership last month:

We are using the Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Folder on the card front, then stamping a flower stem from Simple Stems and adding Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper (free with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure!) flowers punched with the Pansy and Petite Petals Punches. The greeting is stamped and punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, then layered on piece of Sweet Sorbet paper that has also been punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch!

The Crisp Cantaloupe Twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (free with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure!). We are piercing a hole through the card front with a Paper-Piercing Tool to thread the twine through before tying in a bow.

Inside we are stamping with a sentiment from Delightful Dozen with Jet Black StazOn ink, then stamping with another free Sale-a-bration item, Petite Petals, with Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party, and Pistachio Pudding.

Stampin’Up! The Bees’ Knees & Good As Gold!

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm so excited that it's finally Sale-a-bration time! I have a couple of fun cards to show you, one created with the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio digital cardmaking and scrapbooking software, and one with a fun FREE kit in the Sale-a-bration catalog!

First, I received this card a few days ago from the girl at Stampin' Up! who was in charge of the Share Fair at Leadership!

When I first opened the card, I thought, "hmmm, what is this about?" but then I looked a bit more closely:

Then I opened the card:

It made me laugh! Then I read Katie's note:

This is EXACTLY what Stampin' Up! is all about, whether it is a digitally-created card from My Digital Studio or a hand-stamped one, making someone's day with a personally created and written card!

I do have the MDS program, and I've worked with it a bit, but not enough to really see all the fun things it can do! I'm inspired to find out which download this "bees knees" is a part of and try my hand at it again!

Next, in honor of Sale-a-bration I have a card I put together in a snap with the "Good as Gold" card kit from the SAB brochure:

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CARD IS FROM THE KIT, including the envelope and the shine Gold Foil liner!

The banners are pre-printed, the card base has shiney gold dots, the gold banners are pre-cut and the star is ready to punch out! It even includes the stretchy elastic gold string and the Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine! There are enough components in the kit to make 8 full cards with the envelopes!

The Gold Foil liners are separate from the envelopes in the kit, so I cut off a strip from the bottom edge and then adhered it to the inside of the card for a little bit of continuity!

These cards are really gorgeous! I thought they looked a bit flat and boring when I looked at them in the Sale-a-bration brochure, but when they came in my pre-order I found them to be so easy, quick, AND CUTE!

The BEST thing about this kit is that it can be yours for FREE! YES! Just click HERE to go to my Online Store! When your order total before tax & shipping is $50, you can choose the "Good As Gold" card kit or one of 12 more FREE products! yay!

But that's not all! When your order totals $100 before ship & tax, you get to choose TWO free SAB products! AND when your order totals $150 before ship & tax, you get to choose THREE free SAB products AND you get to choose $25 in free catalog merchandise with your Hostess Benefits! Your order will ship direct to you, and I will send you a thank-you card and email you your Bluesox Rewards tokens to get you on your way to earning free stamps from me! yay!

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

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Talk!

Posted on January 26, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We've just had an absolutely wonderful, balmy day! Temps were up in the 50's, which means we were without coats for most of the day! But now the wind is howling around the house at about 40 mph, ushering in a new round of bone-chilling temps, and possibly some snow! Brrrrr! Winter is still here!

I wanted to share with you this card I created earlier this week for Theresa's party. This is the second of the two masculine cards we made, this time using the fun-fold I've been playing with so much and an annual catalog set I hadn't used much yet, Timeless Talk!

Of course we had to make a custom envelope with the Envelope Punch Board, and even though some of Theresa's guests were not very craft-savvy, everyone had great success!

We used an Early Espresso card base, Soho Subway Designer Paper, Early Espresso and a Deco Label Framelit, Island Indigo and Circle Collection Framelit Die, and Very Vanilla and a 2 1/2" Circle Punch. We stamped the antique bicycle with Early Espresso ink the "happy birthday" song with Island Indigo on a Very Vanilla scrap, then stamped the star from the Perfect Pennants set with Island Indigo ink in the center of the wheel. After punching with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch and adhering to the Island Indigo circle, we added an Island Indigo Candy Dot from the Regals Candy Dot pack.

On the back Very Vanilla panel we stamped "Make a Wish" from Perfect Pennants with Early Espresso ink, and added Island Indigo stars from the same set.

That's all for now. Sale-a-bration starts on Tuesday, which means all orders of $50 increments before tax and shipping qualify to choose an item FREE from the Sale-a-bration brochure! Check back here on Tuesday to view the SAB brochure when it goes live or click HERE to go direct to my Online Store where you will be able to place your order and choose your freebies!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day! Valentines!

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there. It's late Saturday night and I'm hoping I'm past the danger zone for the flu. I'm still not holding my breath, but right now I still feel fine!

I have been sorting through more of my pictures from Leadership and found these Valentines I need to share with you before February gets here. I just took pictures of these so I don't know who created them. If you do know (or are) the creator, please let me know so I can give you credit!

Here's a cute little Valentine treat holder made with one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits, Heart Framelits, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, and a phrase from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I DO know the creator of this one, my dear friend, Linda Hunt! I remember she swapped this with me because it is one of the few 3-D swaps I received. I love getting to see Linda at Stampin' Up! events. We've been friends ever since the Alaska cruise in 2011!

This Envelope Punch Board Treat Pouch features the Label Love stamp set and Cherry Cobbler 3/4" Chevron Ribbon. Cute & easy!

This sweet little notecard-sized card features the Love You to the Moon stamp set. It would also make a cute anniversary or encouragement card for a family member.

This treat holder (complete with Chocolate, of course!) was created with Modern Medley Designer Paper, Chalk Talk stamps, Cherry Cobbler 3/4" Chevron Ribbon (love this stuff too!) and 1/8" Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon.

Last but definitely not least, this card was created with Strawberry Slush, Whisper White, and Rich Razzleberry cardstock, a Tea Lace Doily, Strawberry Slush 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, Ampersand Textured Impressions Folder, and stamps from the Perfect Pennants stamp set!

Well, that's all for now. Hope you enjoy your Sunday! We will be having the usuual clan here for lunch and the afternoon, so I definitely will enjoy my day!

To order any of the supplies to create these projects, click HERE to go to my Online Store! I would love to be your demonstrator if you don't have one!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Geometrical Cheer Up! Owl!

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again today with another card using the Geometrical stamp set and the Owl Builder Punch. I think I'm a little obsessed, but the phrases in this set are just so different from anything we've had in awhile, I'm really diggin' it!
I started with a cardbase of Coastal Cabana, then added a layer of Soft Suede that I embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder. Before I embossed the Soft Suede, however, I stamped the tree branch from Take Care with Early Espresso ink so I would have something for my little owl to sit on!

Today's owl is Early Espresso with a vest of Retro Fresh Designer Paper and those adorable Gold Sequin Trim eyes!

I inked the "cheer up buttercup" stamp from Geometrical with my Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana, and Early Espresso Stampin' Write Markers, then stamped on a scrap of Naturals Ivory. I cut it out with one of the Word Bubbles Framelit Dies in the Occasions Catalog, then mounted it above the owl with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Inside I simply inked "you're Peach keen" from the Peachy Keen stamp set with the same markers. Those cute little "arrowheads" are inked with the same colors too and mimic the designer paper vest on the owl! I love the way Stampin' Up! coordinates several different products into a "suite"! You will find all this suite on pages 18-19 of the New Occasions Catalog.

That's all for now! Tomorrow is my "Yes, Mam! Stampers" downline meeting and I am prepping this card for the Shoebox Swap! yay!

Until tomorrow, which is Sunday Swap Day, have a Stampingrox! day!
