Stampin’ Up! Swallowtail Faux Diamonds!

Posted on February 11, 2013 by Carol Payne

It's Monday! Another week to enjoy! I'm REALLY excited today, because tonight is the "Baby Hiller Reveal" party at my house! Alisa & Cody have the sonogram appointment today that should reveal whether their baby is a boy or a girl, and we are all gathering tonight so they can make the big announcement! We are SO EXCITED!!!!

Even though Alisa's baby is my 6th grandchild, I'm just as excited over this one as I was when Jessica was expecting Maddie Kate 12 years ago! I'm glad I'm not bored with babies!

(I just realized that I may not be allowed to reveal the baby's gender to you, though, so I will have to let you know tomorrow if I can or not! Sorry for the big build up. I hope I don't have to disappoint you!)

This card is one that I CASED from my downline, Linda Reaney. She created this card last month for her Punch and Technique Class and when she brought this card to our downline meeting I immediately knew I HAD to recreate it, it's so gorgeous!

Unfortunately, I had not purchased the Swallowtail stamp from the Occasions Catalog, but then fortunately for me I received enough orders that I was able to get this stamp for free! Yay!

Pretty much I CASED her card completely (with her permission, of course!), but why mess around with perfection? The Swallowtail is stamped with Jet Black StazOn ink, then colored with Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, and Island Indigo ink refills and Blender Pens. We dropped the ink refill in the of the matching inkpad so any excess would absorb right into the pad when we were done.

After the ink coloring was dry (and you could speed up the drying with a few blasts with the Heat Tool), we brayer the entire piece with Versamark ink, sprinkle Heat & Stick Powder over the whole thing, then heat the powder from the underneath side of the cardstock with the Heat Tool. You DON'T want to heat too much, just until the Heat & Stick has barely melted, or it will stop being sticky if you heat it too much. After all the Heat & Stick Powder is melted, then you sprinkle the whole thing with a mixture of Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. (We used a container of each mixed together.) Tap off the excess back into the container you mixed them in, then heat again with the Heat Tool from the underside just like you did with the Heat & Stick Powder. As the Iridescent Ice heats, it and the Heat & Stick Powder will help to seal the glitter. The result is a gorgeous iridescene along with the pop of the glitter!

The greeting is from "Loving Thoughts" and the flowers stamped around the greeting are from the free Sale-a-bration set, "Bloomin' Marvelous"!

Here's the inside:

We stampe with "Bloomin' Marvelous" again, and the inside phrase is from another free Sale-a-bration set, "Vintage Verses".

I have really enjoyed sharing this card with my stampers and with you. I am thinking this might be a fun one to demonstrate in a video one of these days. What do you think? My husband just bought me a video camera as a late Christmas present (we were thinking of getting a treadmill, but decided I can walk anywhere anytime I want!), so I am getting closer to trying to make a stamping video! It's been on my "To Do" list for a long time, and hopefully after I get my taxes done (farmers & fishermen have to have their taxes done by the end of February) I will be ready to give this a try!

That's all for now! See you again tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!

ink pad. Any design stamped on our colored card stock will appear a few
shades darker than the card stock, giving your project depth and

papers, the image will look like a watermark; the paper actually becomes
slightly transparent.

melt into a smooth, shimmery image, right before your eyes. If not, you

any stamp project.

Heat & Stick Powder

#100625

Most
people try to use glue to add glitter to a project, but it’s difficult
to get a nice, even look. The Heat & Stick Powder fixes that problem
perfectly. Heats to a sticky surface to hold glitter evenly.

#102023

Price: $4.50

Glitter
adds a touch of sparkle to your stamped images. It’s easy to use with
our Heat & Stick powder, or simply put a dab of Tombow Multi Purpose

sprinkle some glitter on a Sticky Cuts letter. You’ll love these
gorgeous glitters!

■ Dazzling Diamonds: 1/2 oz.
■ Use with Heat & Stick powder, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive, or Sticky Cuts Letters

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.

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

Stampin’ Up! Techniques Class and Baby Liam has arrived!

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Carol Payne

For those of you that are following the progress of the arrival of my newest grandson, I am happy to report he has arrived safely:

and here is our little man!

and up close with Mommy Kimberly:

I think they BOTH look pretty good after almost 24 hours of labor and then a c-section! Mother & baby are both doing very well. They won't come home until sometime Sunday, so I have a chance to catch up on my sleep before I get to stay with them all next week to help out! I can't wait! Our whole family is rejoicing together for this wonderful gift from God!

While we were waiting for Liam's arrival during the loooong day yesterday, I did manage to get the pictures edited for the Technique side of the Punch/Technique Class next Saturday at my house (and the Punch/Technique Class in Galatia on Tuesday August 14th!):

Stampin’ Up! Heart Framelit Puppy Dog!

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Carol Payne

It's the beginning of March, which means a new month for Punch and Technique Class! I've been working on the projects and have one for you today, an adorable puppy dog! I was inspired by Dawn Griffith's bear she had on her blog a couple of days ago, adding puppy ears, changing the slant of the cheeks, extending the tongue, and adding the texture with the Houndstooth Impressions Folder. This is a full card that folds up from thet top. We are cutting it by pulling the fold of the cardstock down from the point of the scalloped Heart Framelit. The Framelit can cut through two layers of cardstock at the same time, yay!

Inside top when you open the card fully:

I used phrases from "Friends Fur-ever"and "D is for Dog" on both the top and bottom inside:

Here's the punch 6 x6 page included with the class handout:

More punch/technique projects to come! Thanks for stopping by and have a Stampingrox! Day!
