Stampin’ Up! Spring Sampler Sunburst Thank You!

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Carol Payne

I'm back with a second post for today! Now that I've drawn the name for the froggies-on-the-lilypad challenge, I have a card for you!

I found my inspiration for this card by Erica Cerwin on the Stampin' Up! blog. I changed the presentation from landscape to portrait, and used retiring Melon Mambo Scallop Dotted Ribbon. I cut out the focal image from Spring Sampler & stamped with Jet Black Stazon with a Labels Collection Framelit, and added a Melon Mambo layer cut with an Ovals Collection Framelit:

The "thank you" if from the soon-to-be-retired Hostess Set, Wacky Wishes!

Patterns from three different designer papers: Polka Dot Parade, Summer Smooches, and Sunshine & Sprinkles were cut into pieces 2" x 3", then cut diagonally with the Paper Trimmer:

You end up with six right-angled triangles that you attach your card front like this:

After you have them all attached you then turn the card over and trim off the excess that extends over the edge with your Paper Snips.

And here's the inside of the card with the verse from From the Heart:

That's all for today! I'm off in a few minutes to spend the afternoon with Liam! This is our last week with him, school is out for the summer next week!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #2!

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Carol Payne

Today we have the second card in the "Best of Birthdays" series, an olde-but-goodie birthday candle card!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The white-embossed "CELEBRATE!" is the Best of Birthdays stamp used. Summer Smooches is the Designer Paper used and the candle flames are punched with the Blossom Petals Builder Punch. I dry embossed the Pacific Point background layer with the Houndstooth Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. After the card was all finished I added a very thin layer of Clear Dazzling Details to the flames and let the card lay flat to dry for several minutes. I like the way the Dazzling Details made the flames curl and gave it a little more dimension!

Here's the inside:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers on this second image from "Best of Birthdays" before stamping.

Here's the class handout for this card:

Download A Candle for Every Year

The February installment of the "Best of . . " Series will be announced today! I can't wait to see and order it! I am offering a class every month using that month's set. Attendees get a $5 discount off the class fee when they order any of the "Best of. ." sets at the class.

On a family note: today we are off to take Ben, our youngest son, to the Oral Surgeon for a consult to remove two EXTRA teeth! We've known for a few years he had an extra top left and extra lower right tooth, but we were just leaving them be unless they created a problem. You guessed it! There is now a problem as the top one had started to come through in the roof of his mouth! A panoramic x-ray revealed the lower one is also "on the move", so we go today for the consult, then in two weeks he is scheduled to have both teeth removed. We will be glad to have this behind us!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope your day "Stampingrox"!

Stampin’ Up! Punched Birdies Celebrate!

Posted on October 28, 2012 by Carol Payne

I found this adorable birdie punched card idea somewhere, but once again, I can't remember who! I did change it up a bit, using "Summer Smooches" Designer Paper for the little birdie hats and "celebrate" from the Holiday Catalog stamp set "Seasonal Sayings". One thing I love about that set is that you can purchase any ONE single stamp out of it right now, and tomorrow, Monday, October 29, it will be 15% off!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

On the inside, I used another stamp, "Happy Birthday", from "Perfecty Penned", another set that you can purchase the stamps as a group or separately! Once again, these stamps, as all of our stamps, are on sale tomorrow! I can hardly wait!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

The little tiny birdies following along in a line are from "Itty Bitty Bits", and yup, you guessed it, they are on sale tomorrow too!

The birdies are punched with the 1 3/4" Circle, 1 3/8" Circle, and 1" Circle punches. The wings are from the Bird Builder punch, and their beaks and party hats are both from the Petite Pennants Builder Punch.

Here's a quick idea for punching the curved part of the hats:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

Start with one of the straight-sided punched pennants. Inset the bottom of the pennant into the 1' Circle Punch from INSIDE the circle as shown below. When you have the pennant inserted as deeply as you want, punch the circle and it will shape the bottom of the hat. I used the same pennant and the same punch for all three sizes of hat. I just changed the depth of my punching to create hats of varying sizes!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

That's all for now! Today we are celebrating two of my daughter's birthdays with a family dinner. My oldest, Jessica, had her birthday in September, and Alisa's was October 18th. Today is the first chance we have had for the whole family to get together! I'm looking forward to some great family memories around our table this afternoon!

Don't forget the 15% off sale tomorrow! I know you probably find it hard to believe, but there ARE some Stampin' Up! stamps I do not own! That little anomaly will probably be rectified tomorrow!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!

Stampin’Up! NEW Annual 2012-2013 Catalog is HERE!

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Carol Payne

I really must apologize for the lack of blogging the past few days. I've been head-down getting ready for this weekend! LOTS going on around here! I had my New Catalog "Crazy Day" Open House yesterday, and WOW it WAS CRAZY! Over 40 stampers showed up to get their new sprial bound catalog from me, pick up unbound catalogs for friends who couldn't come, sign up for classes and product shares, view new catalog samples, and stamp two cute Make n' Takes!

Here's one (two actually, as their was a choice between these two samples):

Aren't these CUTE!!!???!!!! They are just a simple little box with a wrap around them. I learned how to make these from Becky Roberts, and then got busy with new DSP and colors! Here's the side view:

We used the new "Summer Smooches" and "Floral District" Designer Paper for these, as well as the new "Itty Bitty Banners" stamp set and "Bitty Banners" Framelits! They open like this:

I will post the simple cutting and scoring directions for these tomorrow, but right now I've got to run, we are taking Logan to college in Rolla, MO, which is a 3 hour drive, so have to get the ball rolling for that!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
