Stampin’ Up! Moon Lake!

Posted on March 7, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! This week has been my week to stamp! I ran some errands on Monday, but ever since I've stayed home and stamped, stamped, stamped! It seems like it's always either a feast or a famine!

My card for today is a CASE of a swap I received from my swap guru, Carol Nordquist. Carol is the lovely lady in Minnesota that I mail my 21 identical swaps to every month, then receive 20 different swaps back about a week later. As the swap guru, Carol gets to keep one of each as her "reward" for organizing the swap, sorting them into everyone's mailer, then taking them back to the P.O. Only occasionally does she swap too, but when she does it's always gorgeousl! Today's card is no exception:

Carol used the Occasions Catalog set, Moon Lake. It's gorgeous detail and inspiring phrases make this set versatile as an all-occasion, and even a masculine set. One of the really fine features of this card is that it needed NOTHING more than stamps, ink, paper, adhesive, and three embossing folders! NO additional embellishments!

It's an easy card to make and an economical one to mail.

The only sentiment added was the "to a great FRIEND" from the Sale-a-bration set, Simply Wonderful. I'm finding I'm using this set A LOT right now, but I need to because after March 31st it will be gone!

Carol's card was originally colored with Blendability alcohol markers, but because Stampin' Up! has had to suspend the sale all the Blendabilities due to quality issues, I switched to sponging and markers.

One touch I DID NOT change was Carol's use of the just a itty bit of the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder on the water portion of the goose image. It really adds to the "ripple effect"!

That's all for now. Here's the supply list for this card, which we will be making at a couple of workshops this month. Use this shopping list to help you place your order in my online store: ww.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry Swaps!

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hello! I've had a really good day today. Lots of family around here all day, and now Liam is spending the night! Troy had a question for me today when I mentioned Liam was "spending the night". He wanted to know why we say "spend the night", instead of "sleep-over" or "stay". I really had no answer, it is just something we say. Is is just our area of the country? What do you say?

Since we had a family day around here today, I decided to share a couple more of my monthly swaps with you, this time using the Festive Flurry stamps and framelits from the Holiday Catalog. Stampin' Up! knew we would all want them so much they even put them together in a bundle so you can save 15%, how about that?

First up, Lorraine Duran's creation:

Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Folder, Island Indigo & Whisper White cardstock, Silver Glimmer Paper, Crumb Cake & Island Indigo ink, an Extra Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel, and "a very merry christmas" from the Wishing You stamp set!

After cutting out the negative space with one of the Festive Flurry Framelits, she added a layer of clear Window Sheet to suspend and attach the rest of the snowflake! (so sorry the picture is blurry!)

Rene Watson used the Festive Flurry stamps and framelits for her gorgeous creation, along with Silver heat-embossing and the Perfect Pairs stamp set for the greeting!

Good morning! I made a video! My very first one! It's rough, and I still have a lot to learn and figure out, but I'm on my way!

You saw this card last week using the Wishing You stampset and Season of Style Washi Tape, but since it's What to Washi week, it qualifies!

Stampin’Up! Wishing You & Mosaic Punch!

Posted on August 31, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Saturday! Hope you have some fun things planned for this Labor Day weekend, and that you have designated some time to get your fingers inky!

Today's card is one I designed for Crystal's party last night. They are a fun group of girls! I used a card from the display boards at convention as my inspiration. I used the Wishing You stamp set from the Holiday Catalog with Season of Style Washi Tape, Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Folder, the Mosaic punch and the Artisan Label punch!

Inside is stamped with more images from Wishing You. This set is perfect for your quick Christmas card-making! It has a gretting, an inside wish, and fun gift images that could be used for birthdays too!

A close-up of the "ornaments" on the card front. I added a tied bow of Cherry Cobbler Bakers' Twine and one little Basic Jewel Rhinestone for some bling!

This "ornament" was made by punching Old Olive cardstock with the Mosaic punch first, then punching the Artisan Label around the negative image.

I attached the "ornaments" to the card front with snips of Stampin' Dimensionals:

Supplies: Wishing You #131748 $14.95 Wood, #131751 $11.95 Clear

Mosaic Punch #131267 $15.95 Artisan Label Punch #130920 $15.95

Season of Style Designer Washi Tape #132155 $4.95

Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Folder #132174 $7.95

You can order these and all your crafting supplies by clicking on the "Shop Now" button on the upper left side of this blog!

All orders of $25 or more qualify for my "Bluesox Rewards" program!

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