Stampin’Up! Owl Punch Turkey!

Posted on November 6, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a request for a punch turkey for a party I'm doing later this week, so today I got busy and created these guys using the Owl Builder Punch and the Scallop Oval Punch:

I used the Owl Builder Punch for the turkey body and the Scallop Oval punch for the turkey tail.The greeting on the card is from the Truly Grateful stamp set.

I created this guy first, a table favor attached to a Hershey Nugget. Then I decided to turn him into a card so I stepped him up just a bit by embossing the "feathers" with the Perfect Polka Dot, Fancy Fan, and Houndstooth Textured Impressions Folders. The Crumb Cake layer behind the turkey is embossed with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions folder.

Sweater Weather Designer Paper coordinated perfectly with the cardstock colors of Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, and Crushed Curry.

The Owl Builder Punch is SO versatile, I find I use some part of it on almost every punch project I use. I don't know how we got along without it before Stampin' Up! created it, and I hope we don't have to do without it for a long time!

Well, that's all for now. To order any of the products used for this project you can go to my website: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day Masculine Sympathy and a Thank You!

Posted on October 12, 2013 by Carol Payne

It's Sunday, which means it's Sunday Swap Day, the day I share some of the swaps I receive each month from the swap groups I belong to!

I really like these cards!

Sherri Beyrer used wood-planking from Truly Grateful, the moose and "thinking of you" from Walk in the Wild, 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon, the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die, and the Circle Card Thinlet Die for her creation. The colors she used are Midnight Muse, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla.

On the "flip" side of this card she used a phrase from Thoughts & Prayers, and the acorn stamp from Truly Grateful

Raedean Shibata used Island Indigo and Very Vanilla to create her elegant and serene thanks card. Starting with the Label Card Thinlet Die, she added flourishes from Creative Elements, strips of Island Indigo embossed with the Square Lattice folder, a decorative edge from a Finishing Touches Edgelit, Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, and a flower and greeting from Blooming with Kindness.

Inside the "flip", she stamped another phrase from Blooming with Kindness.

That's all for now! Today is my quarterly meeting with my Yes, Mam! Stampers, and I can hardly wait! We are trying a new meeting location and format. I am excited to see how it goes!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Petite Pennants Builder Candy Corn!

Posted on October 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've got something super cute to show you today! My hostess in Golconda, IL today wanted a project using the 1" x 8" Cellophane Bags, and she likes punch art, so we are making these:

Aren't these little candy corn guys cute?!? I stamped the snowman face from Snow Day on one of the corns and I'm in LOVE!!!!

The other corn I stamped with "it's all about the candy" from Halloween Hello.

The candy corns themselves are 3/4" strips of Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight from the Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper package and a 3/4" strip of Very Vanilla polka-dot from the Neutrals Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stack adhered to a scrap of Very Vanilla, then punched with the Petitie Pennants Builder Punch.

The background of the tag is from the Truly Grateful, cut with the largest Chalk Talk Framelit, then matted with a piece of Early Espresso. I cut the corners of the E.E. layer with my Paper Snips to coordinate with the corners of the Chalk Talk tag.

After filling the 1" x 8" Cellophane Bag with M & M's, (I used a clean drinking straw to poke them down into the bag and get them to lay correctly) I closed the bag with the adhesive strip on the bag and then stapled it to the back of the tag. I covered the staple on the front with a bow tied from 1/8" Pumpkin Pie Taffeta Ribbon.

Here's the completed project:

This was so easy and so FUN!

These would make great Halloween treats, wouldn't they? To order your cellophane bags, Petite Pennants Builder Punch, and Chalk Talk Framelits, go to my Online Store! You can order just about anything else used on this project there too, except for the M & M's and the stapler!

That's all for today! Thanks so much for stopping in to see what I've been up to! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Truly Grateful!

Posted on August 22, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning and happy Thursday to you! Just one more day until my Holiday Catalog Open House! I still have so much to do! But first today is another Liam day, AND a Jaxon day, yay!

I made today's card for the second swap I am in this month using the Holiday Catalog set, Truly Grateful, and Sweater Weather Designer Paper.

It's a pretty simple, straightforward card, nothing too complicated or fancy, but I like it alot!

Inside I used a phrase from the new Annual Catalog set, Lots of Thanks.

Here's my supply list:

Stamps: Truly Grateful, Lots of Thanks

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Sweater Weather Designer Paper

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry Classic Inkpads

Accessories: Chalk Talk Framelits, Very Vintage Designer Buttons, Linen Thread, 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin'Dimensionals, Tombow Multi-Purpose Glue (to attach the burlap ribbon to the card front. SNAIL doesn't stick to the burlap!)

That's all for now! I'm off to Liam's, then we will be going to Jaxon's while Jessica has a newborn session to shoot! Those two little guys play together really well for a 1-year and an 18-month-old!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
