Stampin’ Up! Beautiful You Shadow Box!

Posted on May 5, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I tried the shadow box fancy fold with the Beautiful You dancing girl. It was fun!

This is not a mailbox-friendly card, but is perfect for hand-delivery. I plan to make an envelope with the Envelope Punch Board to fit it. I embossed the card front with the Softly Falling folder, which is carrying over to the new catalog.

The beach chair is a sneak peek from the Seasonal Layers Thinlets, also coming in the new catalog!

I used the watercolor stamping-block technique on Shimmery White to get the subtle So Saffron, Soft Sky, Island Indigo colors behind the Basic Gray-stamped dancer from Beautiful You.

Both "celebrate" and "so Happy for You" are Beautiful You phrases. This is the back flap of the card cover.

This was a fun card to make!

Stampin’ Up! Retiring Lists Expired Yesterday! SO SORRY!!!!! Simply Sketched

Posted on June 4, 2013 by Carol Payne

Well, I goofed! The post that went out by email this morning was my post for yesterday, which contains time-sensitive information that EXPIRED YESTERDAY! I was involved with getting myself to the doctor to get new meds for my crazy cough (which I think worked as my coughing is much more controlled and not as wheezy) and missed the deadline for yesterday's post to go out to you same day. I'm SO SORRY!!!!!!!

The NEW CATALOG is all that you can order from now, but don't despair, it is fabulous! You can go to the "catalogs" area in my left-sidebar and click on the new catalog. The new catalog will begin downloading for you from there. It may take a few minutes, depending on your internet connection, but you can then scroll through the entire catalog at your leisure!

If you do not have your own demonstrator but would like to receive one from me, I will be happy to send you one for the price of Flat Rate Priority Shipping, which is $5.60. You will receive your catalog in 2-3 days after I mail it. Any other way might be cheaper, but it would take longer to get to you and would not be as well-protected as the Priority Mailer cardboard envelopes provide.

Email me HERE at carol@carolpaynestamps.com to let me know you want one and I will send you a Paypal invoice for the shipping. You do not have to have a Paypal account to use the invoice link, just a credit card.

Since I've been too distracted with being sick to do any new stamping, I've a few of my newest monthly swaps to show you using the new Hostess Set, Simply Sketched:

Kathy Johnson used a bit of watercoloring on this card along with new Gingham Garden Designer Paper and a Very Vintage Button. The sympathy greeting in part of the set.

Note: Simply Sketched is only available for Hostesses to purchase. You have to hostess a party or submit an order of at least $150 to be able to purchase this exclusive hostess-only set!

Lorraine Duran used her clear acrylic block to ink the Strawberry Slush background for the focal images. Quatrefancy Specialty Paper in the Strawberry Slush color coordinates amazingly well with the Primrose Petals 3/8" Stictched Satin Ribbon!

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

Stampin’ Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day#4, Wildflower Meadow!

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Just one more day! ONE? Can you stand it?

Tomorrow is like a GOLDEN TICKET DAY!

Why, you ask?

Because tomorrow is a FIRST in the 25-year history of Stampin’ Up!

Tomorrow, ONLY, May 31, 2013 beginning at Noon Mountain Time, (translate that time to your own time zone. For me in the Central Time zone that translates to 1 p.m.!) and lasting until midnight Mountain Time (1 a.m. for me) you will be able to order from THREE CATALOGS: the retiring 2012-2013 Annual Catalog, the 2013 Occasions seasonal catalog, AND the NEW 2013-2014 Annual Catalog! AMAZING!

Online Ordering will be down from midnight, May 31, till noon Mountain Time, at which time all the item codes will be turned on and we are off!!!!!!

You can contact me direct to place your order, but you can also place your order through my Online Store just by clicking on the “Shop Now” button in the upper left corner of this blog. You will be prompted to set up an account and the order will be shipped direct to you!

If your order total reaches $150 or more (before shipping and sales tax is added in), you will also be eligible to choose Hostess Benefits of at least $25 free! Tomorrow only you will be able to choose your free from any of the three catalogs, even choosing from the Hostess Exclusive stamp sets from all three catalogs! WOW!

While we are waiting for tomorrow, I have more virtual swaps to share with you, using Wildflower Meadow stamps and Textured Impressions Folder!

This beauty was stamped with the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin’ Pad, which IS carrying over into the New catalog!

Love the Stripe embossed background cut with an Oval Collection Framelit to “frame” the markered Wildflower Meadow stamp!

Another markered beauty! This one has the envelope generation-stamped to achieve the lighter-stamped look!

New In-Color Coastal Cabana was brayered onto the folder before the paper was inserted for this one! Label Love stamp was punched with the Artisan Label punch! The Natural 7/16″ Trim is also carrying over!

Another marker sensation, this time was probably spritzed with water before stamping to give it the watercolor look!

This final one I am CASEING for my New Catalog Open House on Saturday! It’s a fantastic example of “spotlighting” by my good friend Patsy Waggoner!

That’s all for today! I’ll be back in the morning for a little more swap love while we wait for OEX to open at noon MT!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Oh, and I almost forgot, TODAY is the last day to sign up as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator to get the extra $30 in your Starter Kit! Go to my website through the “Join My Team” tab at the top of this blog, then click on the “Join the Fun” tab on the extreme right of my website. It will step you through the process!
