Stampin’Up! Yes Mam’s! Shoebox Swap Card #3, #4, & #5!

Posted on June 25, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I have THREE card ideas for you today, brought to you by Martha Swift, Kristen Hoffman, and Sherry Chrisman!

Martha's card uses the yummy color combo of Strawberry Slush and Whisper White! Martha embossed the Strawberry Slush layer with the Stripes Textured Impressions Folder, punched the lower edge with the Scallop Edge Border Punch, then added Gingham Garden Designer Paper cut with the Ovals Collection Framelits! Inside the oval opening we stamped the "Hello" from Lacy & Lovely with Basic Gray ink, then added a Strawberry Slush-stamped flower from Secret Garden cut with one of the Secret Garden Framelits. A Primrose Petals In-Color Dahlia coordinates wonderfully with the Strawberry Slush color! I love the crisp, clean lines of this card!

One of my newest recruits, Kristen, designed this quick-and-easy card using a set I've always admired but never have gotten around to ordering, Bootiful Occasions! Kristen chose Midnight Muse and Cherry Cobbler for her colors. The Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding ribbon really pulls this simple design together!

Sherry Chrisman's design combines the beautiful Swallowtail butterfly stamp with Crisp Cantaloupe ink! For a bit of bling she heat-embossed the phrase from Million & One with Silver Embossing Powder on Brushed Silver cardstock and added one tiny Basic Jewel Rhinestone. The edges of this layer were cut with the Large Scallop Edgelit. Brushed Silver-punched Bitty Butterflies finish this card off beautifully!

That's all for today! I will be back tomorrow with one more Shoebox Swap creation by Tudy Hoffman!

Hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Day for Sunday!

Posted on June 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! Today is a really amazing day for our church! The Carpenter's for Christ have been at Ina Free Will Baptist Church this past week everyday, 117 men from all professions and several different states, to raise the rafters and build the shell for our new sanctuary. They do the work for FREE, so they are saving our congregation thousands and thousands of dollars! They will be here for TWO whole weeks and since today is the weekend that connects those two weeks, we are having our church service with these men down at our local grade school so we have room for everyone, then after church we are all having a dinner together too! It's going to be a great day!

Yesterday I worked on my projects for my four workshops next week, and here is a really cute, happy one, inspired by Debbie Crawley, using the new catalog set, Happy Day!

Strawberry Slush, Gumball Green, and Whisper White pair to make a cheerful statement to "Smile"! The flower is Strawberry Slush 2013-2015 In Color Designer Paper cut with a Floral Frames Framelit, and the flower stem is Gumball Green cardstock cut with the leaf from the Secret Garden framelits. The center of the flower is punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle punch. Overall, a pretty Clean-and-Simple card!

I just love this phrase from another new set, Really Good Greetings. I can tell I'm going to be using this set a lot this year!

Well, I've got to get finish getting ready for today! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Mosaic Maddness!!

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Trying to get my post up earlier today so the email you get (although it will probably be either the second one or two posts combined in one email, I'm not sure how this will go!) will be on time today!

I'm in the middle of super-organizing my stamping stuff after the big BOGO sale last Saturday. My two new catalog orders I placed over the weekend haven't even shipped yet, (due to the huge backlog of orders placed over the the weekend, I'm sure) but I'm determined to have all of my current stuff organized before these orders arrive!

I have done a teeny-little bit of stamping, but the project is not yet finished. I promise I will share with you as soon as I get it done, it's going to be pretty cute!

So today I'm relying on my monthly swaps again, this time with a few samples from Mosaic Madness!

Ruth Bingle went out-of-the-box by turning the Mosaic-punched pieces into a flower! (think this might make a great poinsettia for Christmas!) There's one of those Very Vintage Buttons again! The "feel better soon" is from the new set, Express Yourself, and she also used the Modern Mosaic Textured Impresssions Folder for the background (brayered with Strawberry Slush ink on the "positive side" (the side with the impressions raised up!) of the folder before placing the Whisper White paper inside!

Susy Miller went with a color pallette of Early Espresso, Naturals Ivory, Soft Suede, and Coastal Cabana for her card using both Mosaic Maddness and Label Love stamp sets! She also used a Neutrals Button and Natural 7/16" Ribbon Trim for the finishing touches! This could easily be a masculine card!

Well, it's back to the organizing grindstone for me today! (I actually enjoy cleaning out and organizing when I have enough time to do it properly!) My cough continues to improve a little each day, very little wheezing now, but the steroids are keeping me awake at night! When I get through all the meds I'll probably want to sleep for about 24 hours straight!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Label Love Baby Cards!

Posted on May 19, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Yesterday was jam-packed from beginning to end! My morning started off by creating these baby cards for a baby shower I was unable to attend but sent my gift anyway:

I used some of my pre-order items: Label Love stamp set, Artisan Label punch, Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Folder, and new In-Color Strawberry Slush for the card on the right and Marina Mist on the left.

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

I used a phrase from Cuddles & Kisses and tiny hearts from the soon-to-be-retired Rain or Shine.

After I safely delivered the gift to my SIL Lori to take to the shower for me, I finished the prep for my "Yes, Mam!" Downline meeting, which was from 7-9 p.m. last night.

There have been several new additions to my downline in all levels lately, mostly due to the great recuiting specials Stampin' Up! has been offering. (psst, there's one going on right now . . . Give me a shout out if you want to know more about how you can join my group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators, the "Yes, Mam! Stampers") Here's my recruit, Sherry Peyton, working on her M&T with two of her downline girls, also named Sherry!

l to r: Shary Logan, Sherry Peyton, Sherry Chrisman!

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