Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Valentines for Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely Valentines for Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there and welcome to Sunday Swap Day on my blog!

First, Judi Anderson used Forever Lovely with All My Love Designer Series Paper for her creation, with a a fresh color combo of Coastal Cabana,Lovely Lipstick, and Whisper White. She combined a Stitched Shapes Framelit with a Layering Circle Framelit, then colored a few pearls with Stampin' Blends.

Next, Barb Mullikin combined Forever Lovely with the Meant to Be bundle. I love that both Forever Lovely and Meant to Be are not strictly Valentine sets! Barb's color combo is Lovely Lipstick with Crumb Cake, Whisper White, and touches of Flirty Flamingo. She used Be Mine Stitched Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Square Framelits, Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions, and Grapefruit Grove 1/8" ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack.

Laura Milligan used the Lovely Lipstick 1/2" Ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack to accent her Forever Lovely card. She used the Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies to cut out the bloom and the foliage, and accented a corner of the Crumb Cake layer with another Lovely Flowers die.

Finally, Kathy Morgan also used the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies to create her Valentine. Switch out the heart print for floral from the All My Love Designer paper and you could have a birthday, anniversary, or thinking of you card with this sentiment.

Forever Lovely is a"DistINKtive" stamp set which is specially created to have depth built in when you just stamp one time. You can see it with this hearts group that Kathy stamped on the inside of the card:

Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Love Berry Basket of Cards!

Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Love Berry Basket of Cards!

Hey there! Today I have a set of cards in an adorable little Berry Basket using Bloomin' Love:

Stampin_up_carolpaynestamps_bloomin_love_2

I  CASED this project from Caroline Van Der Straaten, a demonstrator who participates in the Mediterranean Achiever's Blog Hop with me every month, with a few changes of my own. I used the "baby wipe inkpad" technique to stamp the leafy heart and the flower bouquets on the inside, then pressed my Versamark inkpad over the stamped heart, sprinkled with Iridescent Ice embossing Powder, and heated with my Heat Tool. This provides sparkle and intensifies the colors.

Stampin_up_carolpaynestamps_bloomin_love_3

Inside I continued the Valentine theme with a sentiment from Bloomin' Love. I lined the envelopes with Love Blossoms DSP:

Stampin_up_carolpaynestamps_bloomin_love_4

A sentiment from And Many More creates a wedding theme, and a bloom cut with the Bloomin' Heart Dies and Blushing Bride Glimmer lend more sparkle:

Stampin_up_carolpaynestamps_bloomin_love_5

A sentiment from Blessed by God compliments the theme perfectly:

Another sentiment from Blessed By God:

Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Love!

Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Love!

Hey there! One of my goals this year is consistency, and second is to not let my stamping business run my life. I LOVE stamping, LOVE my stamping friends, and I LOVE blogging, but sometimes it displaces my family life. You know how it is when you are trying to "do it all". Whoever coined that phrase was either on something or just lying to themselves. NO ONE can "do it all". Believe me, I've tried. Something (or someone) has to suffer, and I've come to realize that life is too short to be stressed. So if, and inevitably when, I miss a day (or two or three) of blogging, rest assured I have not given up!

Today I have another card from my Stampin' in the New Year class. I took a monthly swap and converted it. I LOVED the outside and didn't change a thing! In the process of converting it to a card I've lost track of the creator. Either Lorraine Duran or Kathy Johnson  used Bloomin' Love and Bloomin' Heart Thinlet Dies:

Stampin_up_bloomin_love_1 - Copy

The Pink Pirouette background is subtly stamped with Versamark for a soft, elegant feel.

Stampin_up_bloomin_love_2 - Copy

The creator added a lovely mix of flowers, pearls, banner, and a Linen Thread bow.

Stampin_up_bloomin_love_3 - Copy

I turned this somewhat Valentine-y card into a friend birthday card by using a phrase from the new Suite Saying set in the Occasions catalog. I punched the corners with the returning Curvy Corner Trio Punch:

Stampin_up_bloomin_love_4 - Copy

Today is the LAST DAY to order from the Holiday Catalog, Year-End Sale, and the current Weekly Deals! Go to my online store to order: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’Up! Monster Hug & Word Bubble Valentines for My Grandkids!

Stampin’Up! Monster Hug & Word Bubble Valentines for My Grandkids!

Hey there! A couple of days ago I went to Jessica's to make valentines with my grandkids. I started this tradition when Maddie Kate was in kindergarten. She's in 7th grade now, so that's makes 8 years of valentines! I wish I had taken pictures of our first ones, but oh, well, here's this years' installment:

Stampin_up_monster_hugs_1

In past years we've spent a lot of hours making quite elaborate valentines, but since this year I knew I might be more pressed for time with all the commitments I have, I decided to go easy. Ava said, "Wow, Grammie, these are alot easier than last year!" I asked if she still liked them and she said "OH YES!" (guess easy can sometimes be just as good or better?)

For both Ava (in 3rd grade) and Cohen (in kindergarten) I opted for the "Monster Hugs" valentines we still have available on the "Whole Lot of Love" flyer:

Stampin_up_monster_hugs_4

Ava was able to assemble these adorable little "monsters" all by herself, signing the "to: from:" area on the monsters' little bum, removing the protective cover on the adhesive area on the front and adhering the candy, adding the single googlie eye, and then attaching the arms together with the slits just above the monster hands!

Stampin_up_monster_hugs_5

Cohen needed a little bit more help, but he managed signing his name to the backside, adhering the candy, and adding the googlie eye. The googlie eye was his favorite part!

Stampin_up_monster_hugs_2

Stampin_up_monster_hugs_3

I brought Nerds, Bottlecaps, and Laffy Taffy for the monsters to "hug"!

Stampin_up_word_bubble_valentines

Maddie Kate's were pretty simple too. A strip of Fresh Prints Designer Paper punched on both ends with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch (my FAVORITE new tool in the Occasions Catalog!), then scored in the middle to create the flat area to attach the candy (chocolate, of course!). We tied to ends together with Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, then added the valentine greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes, cut with a Word Bubble Framelit and mounted on a 1 3/4" Pool Party Scallop Circle. We added just a bit of bling with a Silver Glimmer circle!

Just so you know, I had Jessica take these pictures with her fabulous camera! (I'm still learning how to use mine, but I will get better!)

My hubby came along on this trip, so Jessica fixed us a yummy supper before we headed home. Good times!

That's all for today. You can still order the Monster Hugs (for your little munchkins or grandbabies next year!). Just go to my Online Store by clicking HERE.

Stampin’Up! Delightful Dozen Valentine!

Stampin’Up! Delightful Dozen Valentine!

Hey there! I went to Hoyleton tonight to do a Stamp Camp for Ruth Czerwonka, and we had a really good evening! Ruth has been stamping with me for several years. She is also my favorite Pampered Chef lady, so she does at least one P.C. party, sometimes two, for me every year.

Ruth chose 4 really cute cards for her friends to make for the $10 fee. The one I'm going to share with you today is actually a re-do of a valentine I showed you HERE.

Stampin_up_delightful_dozen_1

The stamps I used for the first valentine retired on the 27th, so they would not be available to order when we actually submit the party when it closes. I re-did it with a the valentine greeting from Delightful Dozen, using the same layout and Big Shot products, the Arrows Textured Impressions Folder and Hearts a Flutter Framelit Dies.

Stampin_up_seasonal_sayings_1

Inside I substituted a sentiment from Seasonal Sayings.

Well, that's all for now! Sale-a-bration starts in  just a few hours, yay! A free product from the Sale-a-bration brochure for every $50 you spend (before tax & shipping) yay!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
