Stampin’ Up! One Last Valentine For This Year!

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Valentine's Day! What are you doing for your sweetie today?

Depending on what my hubby's schedule dictates today, I hope to make him a yummy supper tonight, although I may have to make a grocery run so I have a few special things that are his favorites!

I found one more Valentine swap picture from Leadership that I wanted to share with you here:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This card combines a bunch of cool Occasions Catalog products and a technique that is hot right now in the blog world, Chalkboarding!

More Amore Designer Series Paper is the card base background with an Oval Accent Bigz Die Real Red flap on the right side. Hearts a Flutter heart stamps and Hearts a Flutter and Hearts Framelits cut everything out perfectly! All of the Basic Black hearts are treated with the Chalkboarding technique, with the largest heart stamped with the "You're in MY thoughts, YOU'RE in my heart" from Word Play.

The left side of the card is embellished with Pool Party Seam Binding tied in a loopy bow, with a Designer Builder Brad and Linen Thread accenting the center.

I will be featuring the Chalkboarding technique, but with a different card of course, in my March Punch/Technique Class, so check back with me after the two classes are over to see how it's done!

I'd better let you go for now. I also have to begin TAX PREPARATIONS today! Farmer's & Fishermen have to have their taxes submitted by the end of February, so not much time left!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Valentine's Day!

Stampin’ Up! Secret Garden!

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

I know this post is later than normal, but I'm here!

This card is one from my Punch/Technique Class this month. I call it "Embedded Embossing with Framelits"!

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

I stamped the Secret Garden flowers with Pretty in Pink ink on Pink Pirouette and the leaf stem with Soft Suede on Very Vanilla, then cut them out with the Secret Garden Framelits. After SNAILing them to my card front I ran it all through the Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder.

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

The inside is stamped with a phrase from Feel Goods in the Occasions Catalog, and EVERYTHING, inside and out is sponged with Soft Suede ink!

It just wouldn't be Vintage without dirtying it up with sponging, would it?

Here's a close up of the embedded flowers with Basic Jewel Pearls accents:

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 5/8" Very Vanilla Flower Trim!

We counted a new package of them the other night. At $6.95, they are really a GREAT DEAL because the two yards contained 100 flowers! WOW!

©Stampin'Up! ™1990-2013

Notice the ribbon trim along the front? It's actually one of the Flower Trim, but I cut between the spiraled "petals" and found this really delicate scalloped ribbon! After SNAILing it to the card front, I added the strips of pearls from the Basic Jewels Pearls pack.

Oh, BTW, the Designer Paper at the bottom of the card is Tea for Two!

That's all for today! Today I plan to play with some new ideas! I actually woke up the other night dreaming about a technqiue variation I'm dying to try! Don't worry! If it works out I'll for sure show it to you!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Happy Wednesday to you! I put a sneak peek of this project on my Facebook page yesterday, it's a cute little "Hershey's Heart Box" that we will be making at my "Hearts a Flutter" Mystery Hostess Class tomorrow. There's still room in either session, 1 p.m. or 6:30 p.m., so contact me to attend!

I found the directions for this box on Brenda Quintana's blog. She is the creator of some really awesome 3-D projects, including the "Kissmas Tree" we made back in December!

Stampin’ Up! By the Tide Watercolor Wash!

Posted on January 29, 2013 by Carol Payne

One of my projects for January Technique Class: By the Tide stamp set with the Watercolor Wash Technique.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

We used Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, and Tangerine Tango Watercolor Crayons
on Whisper White cardstock, then "washed" each color separately with an
AquaPainter, cleaning the brush on a paper towel between each color. The
"By the Tide" images, along with phrases from the "Make a Wish" and "Teeny Tiny Wishes" were stamped over the wash with Jet Black StazOn ink.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

A very simple but effective technique that complements this stamp set perfectly!

What's Liam up to today?

Like most little ones. he would rather play with the package his blocks are stored in than the blocks!

Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration has begun! How will you Sale-a-brate?

Posted on January 27, 2013 by Carol Payne

This posting is late today, I know, but it is still on time since it is still Sunday!

Before I show you my creation for today, how about a little picture of me and my sister?

Last Sunday afternoon my hubby & I traveled north about 2 1/2 hours to the city of my birth, Decatur, Illinois to attend a retirement party for my sister, Connie. Connie worked as a Respiratory Therapist for many years (over 30!). Her husband retired a couple of years ago, and now she has joined those ranks too!

Some say Connie looks like our dad and I look like our mom. I just know she was my favorite person growing up and is right up there on my favorites list now! I love you, sis!

Now on to today's card:

This card's focal point is actually what would usually be considered the discard piece from yesterday's card. Remember the "quilted heart" from the center? This is the pieceit was cut out of, mounted on Chocolate Chip, then a heart from Hearts A Flutter stamped in Calypso Coral and a tiny little motif from the Sale-a-bration set, Madison Avenue, stamped in Pool Party. The "LOVE YOU" is from Itty Bitty Banners cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits.

I have a confession to make: the base of this card was begun waaaaaay back in October of 2011! I was prepping swaps for the Louisville Regional that year and I ran out of time before I was able to complete them, so into storage they went, and were promptly forgotten! Leadership 2012, then Convention 2012 came and went, and these bases, Houndstooth-embossed Pool Party on Chocolate Chip, continued to languish, destined to oblivion once Pool Party retired in May of 2013. But lucky for them, while I was preparing the room where they were stored for Christmas family guests, they were unearthed (YOU don't have anything like that wasting away in YOUR craft or spare bedroom, do YOU?!)

So a discarded-but-now-repurposed focal point meets almost-forgotten card base. What do you think? I liked it once I completed it and it turns out I got lots of nice compliments on it when I swapped it in Orlando.

Thats all for today. It's a gloomy, cold, rainy & almost icy day here, but until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
