Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Wreath Completed!

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Wreath Completed!

Good morning! Today is a special day! My baby boy, Ben, turns 21 today! Ahhhhhh!

Here's a recent picture of Ben:

Ben

I'm so proud of him. He has grown into a fine young man; loving, kind, thoughtful. He really thinks things through. He's working and going to school, and although he hasn't exactly found his job goal, he's still working on it!

Ben is #6 in my Payne Clan. Until Ben arrived, I always felt our family wasn't complete yet. At the dinner table, I would look around at my happy, crazy bunch of kids and I just knew we weren't all here yet. After Ben's birth, I knew I was done. He is just the icing on my cake!

Today's card you have seen before HERE, but I wanted to show you the completed card with the inside:


Wonderful wreath 1

Wonderful Wreath and Joy to the World stamps from the Holiday Catalog were used on the card front, with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions folder for depth. We will be using ovals from the Large Oval and Extra Large Oval punches and a Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel to create the bow. We will be using the Cupcake Builder Punch to punch the berries for the wreath!


Wonderful wreath 2
Inside I stamped a small image from Mosaic Madness, inked with a Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker in each corner. The verse is from another Holiday Catalog set, Christmas Messages.

That's all for now! I need to finish setting up for my Holiday Catalog Open House this afternoon!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Halloween Hello!

Stampin’Up! Halloween Hello!

Good morning! I am really excited to show you my creation today! It's a Halloween card using the Halloween Hello set from the Holiday Catalog. You will be able to see this card in person when you come to my Holiday Catalog Open House this Friday and Saturday. I also made this for one of my monthly swaps:


Halloween Hello 1

It's hard to see in this picture, but the little witchy is stamped with Versamark, Heat & Stick Powder, and then sprinkled with Basic Black Stampin' Glitter!


Halloween hello 2

The words were stamped and the Witches' Brew Designer Washi Tape was applied to the card front FIRST before runnning through the Big Shot in the Houndstooth folder.

The glitter on the witch image was attached with Heat & Stick powder, which can be a little bit tricky. Hopefully I will have a tutorial for you for this product soon.

Come back tomorrow to see my second monthly swap!

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

Supplies:

Stamps: Halloween Hello #131718 Wood $18.95, #131721 Clear $14.95

Ink: Jet Black StazOn, Pumpkin Pie Classic, Versamark

Big Shot: Houndstooth Textured Impressions Folder

Misc: Witches Brew Designer Washi Tape, Hexagon Punch, Label Bracket Punch, Black & Orange Stampin' Glitter, Heat & Stick Powder, Heat Tool, SNAIL adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Hello, Lovely!

Stampin’ Up! Hello, Lovely!

Good morning and happy Tuesday to you! It's another Liam day, so this will have to be quick!

Today's card is by Mary Haugen. Mary added Soho Subway Designer Paper to Crumb Cake cardstock upon which she created her own border by stamping a single stamp from the Hello, Lovely stamp set multiple times along the edge with Crumb Cake ink!

Mary haugen hello lovely

The "you MAKE ME HAPPY" greeting is from Hello, Lovely, as is the Summer Starfruit-stamped arrow. The Very Vanilla scallops were cut with the Adorning Accents Edgelits. A piece of Linen Thread was added for a bit more tactile texture!

Well, I'm off to Liam's, then he & I are headed to Jessica's to spend the day with Jaxon while she has photo sessions. Busy, busy, busy.I'm so glad Liam and Jaxon get to spend some "cousin time" together today!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Papillion Potpourri!

Stampin’ Up! Papillion Potpourri!

Good morning! It's Monday and my first day back taking care of Liam! I'm really looking forward to it, he's such a fun little guy!

Today's card is another swap from convention by Andrea MacDonald. Andrea combined the Lattice Bigz Die, Papillion Potpourri, and the Bitty Butterfly punch to create this stunning card!

 

Andrea macdonald papillon potpourri

Cardstock is Whisper White, Basic Black, and Daffodil Delight. Ink is Jet Black StazOn. A bit of Daffodil Delight Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper and Daffodil Delight 1/2" Seam Binding add just the perfect touch of class to this one!

This card has no greeting, which is card sacrilidge as far as I am concerned (I like for all of my cards to "speak" to me, to invite me to open them!). In this card's defence, however, it could have just about any greeting, except for may "happy father's day" or "merry christmas", and this card would fit the bill!

That's all for now. If you remember from last school year, I go to Liam's house, so I need to get going. I have to drive by another grade school on my way to his house, and if the lights are flashing I have to drive REALLY SLOW!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Silver Glimmer Christmas Tree!

Stampin’ Up! Silver Glimmer Christmas Tree!

Good morning! We are in full Liam-mode around here! Nothing is safe from a 12-month-old! He makes me realize how far my house has come from being toddler-proofed! Needless to say, it's rapidly getting more "proofed" all the time!

I spent most of yesterday before Liam arrived running errands, helping Ben select his first i-phone, and getting groceries. I realized I hadn't done a serious supermarket run since before Oakley was born 3 weeks ago!

Today's card is one I created on Monday for my Christmas Card Class this coming Saturday. It's a pretty simple card, just some Pewter heat-embossing for the greeting from the Carryover List set Greetings of the Season and Silver Glimmer Paper strips. The addition of the Red Glimmer Paper Itty Bitty Shapes circles and the Silver Merry Minis Punch Pack star make it really festive!

Silver Glimmer Tree 1

Midnight Muse is the card base and focal image layer. I added the 1/2" wide Silver Glimmer "tree branch" strips with Tombow glue, as well as 1/2" Silver Glimmer strips around the edges of the Midnight Muse layer with the same adhesive. I wanted give the look of a solid mat of Silver Glimmmer paper behind the Midnight Muse layer without cutting full layers of the  glimmer paper, so opted for the 1/2" strips. I think it looks pretty good, what do you think?

Silver glimmer tree 2
The inside verse is from another Carryover List set, More Merry Messages, stamped in Midnight Muse ink.

That's all for now! If you are planning to come to class on Saturday, please RSVP soon!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
