I've been waiting to show you this card for several days. My grandson, Cohen, turned 6 on February 7th. This is the card I made to go with his presents, but I haven't been able to give it to him because we have not had his family party yet! I know he doesn't read my blog, and although we hope to have his party in a few WEEKS, I'm going to share it with you now just because I can't wait any longer!

I have been saying the phrase, "See ya later, alligator" to Cohen since he was just a little guy, and now he says, "After while, crocodile" back to me, so I just had to make him this card with the phrase from the free SAB set, See Ya Later!

This is defintely a one-of-a-kind card, but Cohen is worth it!

Valentine Week Day 4-Fashionable Hearts!

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Carol Payne

Today's first sample is another awesome creation by my fabulous downline, Linda Reaney! Although CASED from somewhere, this card combines several fun Stampin' Up! products, including the Scalloped Heart Embosslit, Fashionable Hearts Embosslit, and the Tasteful Trim Die! "Happy Valentine's Day" is from "Teeny Tiny Wishes"!

Mary Hamill combined the "Hello, Doily" background stamp with Melon Mambo Embossing Powder to create this card with lots of visual impact. A particularly fine detail is the two vertical rows of hearts at the bottom end of the Basic Black strip. Mary used the "Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Folder" for those hearts!

Even though there were not very many in this category, if you browse through all the samples I have and will be posting this week you will see more and more uses of this cool embosslit!

Punch Class Projects!

Posted on March 7, 2011 by Carol Payne

Punch Class was Friday night here at my house. Here's the projects we made:

This is a cute little card made with the "Blossom Petals" punch and the "Tastful Trim" Die. The corresponding curviness of the Whisper White layer was hand-trimmed with Paper Snips using the negative leftover piece of the Pear Pizzazz Ric-Rac after it has been cut with the "Tasteful Trim" die! The centers of the tiny "Itty Bitty Shapes" punched flowers are from the "Build a Cupcake" punch.

Stampingrox Tip: it's easiest to dot on the 2-way glue pen in the center of the flowers first, then add the centers.

This card is a CASE but with the colors changed from Mary Fish. I added the tiny flowers where she had glimmer brads, and the inside design is all mine.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2011

Here's the inside. These phrases are from "Messages for Mom", a great set that works for many occasions, not just Mother's Day!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2011

I dusted off my sandly neglected "Trendy Trees" stamp set to create the "bones" (and body) for this brave little fishy! His head is the "Small Heart" punch and his tail is the smallest heart from the "Heart to Heart" punch! I CASED the fish idea from Holly, but the rest of the card is my design.

The school of fish all swimming in the background is the goldfish stamp from "C is for Cat","hello" is from "Hello Again", and the watery swirls on the Tempting Turquoise background are from the "Perfect Details" Texturz Plate.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2011

We used a phrase from "Smarty Pants" inside. Each stamper had their choice of any of the cute and sassy phrases in this set.

Stampingrox Tip: Staz-On Black ink gives a sharp, clean look to all your images, and is moisture-proof when coloring with markers, aquapainters, or blender pens!

Tomorrow I will show you the final 2 projects from Punch Class! See you tomorrow, my friends~until then, have a "Stampingrox!" day!

The Very Versatile Petal Cone Die!

Posted on February 22, 2011 by Carol Payne

Last week I showed you the Easter Carrot Box we made at our "Yes, Ma'am's!" downline meeting with the Occasions Mini Petal Cone Die, so I thought today would be a good day to start showing you some of the other projects that can be made with this VERY versatile die!

First, here's a Petal Cone "cone basket" similar to how it is shown on page 15 of the Occasions Mini. I have CASED this project from somewhere, but have not kept track of who's original idea most of these were from, so if this is your's, please let me know so I can give you credit!

Next is a very vintage-y heart shaped basket. I also see Thanksgiving possibilities for this shape! (doesn't this one remind you of a turkey?) I used the "Vintage Wallpaper" Textured Impressions Folder on this one before assembling the box.

Here's a Petal Cone Ice Cream Cone! I used the sprinkles from the "Build a Cupcake" punch and covered them with Crystal Effects to give them the chocolatey yumminess look! The waffle look of the cone was achieved with the "Perfect Details" Texturz Plate. The edge of the ice cream scoop is from the "Tasteful Trim" Bigz XL Die.

Here's the inside. The "spoil yourself today" is from awesome new birthday set, "Bring on the Cake" in the Occasions Mini.

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