Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Meadow!

Posted on March 9, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Hope you've had as good of a Sunday as I've had! Most of the fam here for lunch and the afternoon, then homemade pizza after nighttime church!

I've been playing with my punches quite a bit, working on cards to encourage me that spring is really coming:

I sponged the raised image from embossing the Wisteria Wonder layer with the Wildfower Meadow Textured Impressions Folder with Wisteria Wonder ink to make it "pop".

After I adhered the Petite-Petals-punched flowers to the trellis, I realized you really can't see the trellis, but I like it anyway!

I stamped a sentiment from Feel Goods, and the teapot/vase image from Tea Party on the inside. I stamped the watercolor splotch from Happy Watercolor behind the flowers to add a little color to the Jet Black StazOn stamped image.

That's all for now. The spring forward to Daylight Savings Time has wiped me out!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Meadow from Fiji!

Posted on June 21, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Hope you have a happy day ahead! I am looking forward to my day. I get to spend a good chunk of it with Alisa. We have a little baby-Oakley shopping trip planned for today! I can't wait!

We received the Wildflower Meadow stamp set in Fiji in addition to Kind & Cozy, so there were several samples on the board with this set too!

Crumb Cake is a perfect card base to white heat-emboss the entire Wildflower Meadow image on! The "THANKS SO MUCH" phrase is from the carried-over stamp set, Oh Hello!

Stampin' Write Markers add the color need to achieve this almost-watercolored look! Some Gingham Garden Washi Tape and a marker-inked partial "with love" from Kind & Cozy are all this card needs!

White heat-embossed again, but this time on Daffodil Delight creates an adorable little 4" x 4" square card. A tiny banner of Gingham Garden Designer Paper and a Linen Thread bow offset the "so kind of you" from Sweet Essentials. Perfect!

Last-but-not-least, Wildflower Meadow was stamped on a Tea Lace Doily with Daffodil Delight ink again, with a background of Gingham Garden Designer Paper and splash-stamping with Gorgeous Grunge. The greeting is from Blessings from Heaven, and there's a little strip of Gingham Garden Washi Tape peeking out from behind the Linen Thread and Vintage Faceted Button!

Well, I'm out of here to go meet Alisa so we can start our day-out together!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Gingham Garden Suite!

Posted on June 18, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I was nosing around in my computer this morning and found a BUNCH of samples from the boards in Fiji that I had not yet shown you, so here is the first of what may become a few days' of installments!

Every Incentive Trip, Stampin' Up! provides a Hospitality Room for demonstrators to hang out in at the hotel or the cruise ship where we are all staying. Also on every trip there is usually at least one new stamp set or product suite they will feature. This is also tied to the stamp set(s) and other product goodies they usually shower us with while on the trip! This year was no exception – the Gingham Garden Suite from the New Annual Catalog featured this time, and WOW, they did a good job!

In the Hospitality Room Stampin' Up! had this display board available all week for demonstrators to take pictures of for future inspiration!

This sample featured Gingham Garden Designer Paper, Gingham Garden Washi Tape, our new Coaster Board covered with Gingham Garden Designer Paper and cut out with the Big Shot, and a greeting from Kind & Cozy, one of the stamp sets we received while on the trip!

This card has the Wildflower Meadow stamp as a background on the new Baked Brown Sugar card base, with Gingham Garden Designer Paper and Washi Tape, and a greeting from Kind & Cozy again!

Finally for today, this sample combines Gingham Garden Designer Paper and Washi Tape with selections from Fabulous Phrases on the adorable hand-cut tag!

That's it for today! I've a full plate today – finishing up my monthly swap to go in the mail this morning, followed by getting my house ready for a 31 Party tonight! Should be a fun day!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!

If you have any questions about today's samples, just shoot me an email!

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Meadow Once Again!

Posted on June 8, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! How's your weekend going? I "think" I may actually be starting to feel better! It's about time, right? I consulted with my pharmacist tonight at Kroger and he suggested I switch my daily allergy medication to another brand. I had heard, and he confirmed, that our bodies get used to using one kind all the time and it stops working, so every couple of years or so we need to change to another brand! Amazing! I had never heard of that until this year, but I think that may have been the root of my sick-i-ness!!!!!

We had fun at "SWOW" class yesterday with our three projects. I haven't shown you the third one yet, but don't worry, I will!

Today, though, I returned again to a few more of my monthly swaps using Wildflower Meadow again! I just LOVE this stamp set – it has it all – beautiful graphics, it's own built-in polka-dot background, and a matching Textured Impressions Folder! Yikes!

Denise Sullivan created this beauty with a Crisp Cantaloupe card base & ink, with accents of Crumb Cake!

What I really love about this card, besides the "best wishes" banner from Express Yourself and In-Color Crisp Cantaloupe Designer Paper, is her use of the Flower Fusion Sizzlet to create the adorable coordinating blossom embellishment! ALL THREE layers of flower can be cut at the same time with this die! Easy-Peasy!

Katy Simecka created this fun card with the same Wildflower Meadow stamp, Gingham Garden Designer Paper, circle punches, Label Love stamp and Artisan Label punch. It's a little hard to see in the picture, but she finished off each circle with a layer of Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. It gives this set a whole NEW look, doesn't it?

One of the major things that I LOVE about Stampin' Up! is the way so many different people can start out with the same stamps, but by using additional products and different techniques, can end up with such VERY DIFFERENT BUT GORGEOUS results! It never gets boring, that's for sure!

Well, I need to get off here and get my workshops for next week prepped! I have a lot to do – I have four workshops in five days booked! Yikes!

Until tomorrow, hope your day Stampingrox!

Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Meadow!

Posted on June 6, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! I have one of my "SWOW! Class/Club" projects to share with you today, using the Wildflower Meadow suite of products!

"SWOW" means "Simply WOW"! This is a new Class/Club I am starting this month. It is:

Open to all stampers, new and advanced.
We will make three projects each month for a $15 fee, or the class is free with a $25 order placed at class. Projects will vary from month to month but will be on-trend, fun, sometimes punch, often technique, almost always using the Big Shot- in short, projects that "WOW" me!
Attendees can either choose to become a "Club" member by committing to placing a $25 order each month in exchange to receive the 3 project packet (which includes instructions, of course!), or can just come whenever they choose.
The "Club" members will take turns receiving the Hostess Benefits from the combined total of all orders received for the monthly class. Hostess Benefits start at $25 free with an sales total of $150 and increases incrementally from there (see the top of page 201 for the complete Hostess Benefits Table)
Hostess months are assigned in the order in which attendees sign up to be a Club member. The June Hostess is Darlene Holloway.
Long-distance stampers CAN participate, thanks to the easy addition of the Hostess Code!
Hostess Code for this month's class is:

G4ZPEJRT

To participate via the Hostess Code go to my website using the "Shop Now" Button in the upper left sidebar of this blog. When you get to my website, www.carolpayne.stampinup.net, click on the "Shop Now " under the "Products" tab. You will be taken to the Online Catalog. Make sure the screen looks like this and says "Carol Payne" in the upper right corner:
You will then be able to navigate the Online Catalog by clicking on the categories in the left-hand column, or on one of the product pictures along the bottom:
You MUST click on the picture of each item in order to have the opportunity to put it in your basket. This does not automatically add it, but the screen then looks like this:

Say you want to look at the Wood-mount stamps in the "Bring on the Cake" product suite. Click on the picture with the words "wood-mount" under it and the next screen will look like this:

Say you want to look at the "Blue Ribbon" stamp set more closely. Click on the picture or the words with the Blue Ribbon stamp set and this screen will come up:
To add this stamp set to your shopping bag, click on the blue highlighted words "Add to Bag", making sure the "QTY" number is "1" if that's how many of the item you want. The next screen will look like this:
From here you will need to have already created an account with your credit card info and shipping info included. This order will ship direct to you, not the hostess, so minimum $6.95 shipping will be applied.
Enter the Hostess Code in the highlighted box in the lower left side of the screen.
You then have the option to "update quantity", "check out", or "continue shopping" which is highlighted in the upper right of the screen.
It's as easy as that! Give it a try!
YOU MUST RSVP to me: 618-237-6281 or carol@carolpaynestamps.com to participate with an online order, attend, or join the club!
This month's orders will be taken through June 11th, which is the date of Darlene's in-home workshop to increase her Hostess Benefits with additional orders.

Now, with the housekeeping out of the way, here's the Wildflower Meadow project:

This card was inspired by a "virtual swap" by Patsy Waggoner! I used the Wildflower Meadow stamp set and Textured Impressions Folder, along with Perfect Pairs, one of the stamp sets that is 25% off right now during the "Grab Your Greetings" promotion!

Inside I used one of the phrases from Sassy Salutations, another "Grab Your Greetings" 25%off stamp set!

Colors used are Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, and Melon Mambo!

I custom-colored the Whisper White Organza ribbon Melon Mambo this way:

I pre-cut my ribbon to 20 inches long per card so it could be tied into either a bow or a knot around the top card layer.
Wear rubber gloves for this process – ask me how I know this! Last night my fingertips were bright pink!
I created the Melon Mambo dye by filling a Stampin' Spritzer with 91% Rubbing Alcohol and 8 drops of Melon Mambo ink refill, screwed the cap back on the Spritzer and shook it carefully to mix.
I laid a couple of the ribbons in an old powder pal (any non-porus container will do) and spritzed with the alcohol/ink mixture, moving the ribbon length into the powder pal and spritzing heavily because I wanted my ribbon to be BRIGHT pink!
After the entire length of ribbon has been saturated with color, remove the ribbons and place between two paper towels to remove the excess ink.
When most of the excess ink is removed, lay the ribbons aside for a few minutes so the alcohol moisture can evaporate, leaving you with delicously custom-colored ribbons!
There you are! Custom-dyed ribbon AND an Online Ordering Tutorial all in one day! Whew!

Well, that's all for now! I still have organizing and prep for Friday to get to. Hope to hear from some of you today that are coming, participating online, or joining my fun new club!

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! I would LOVE to have you on my team of “Yes, Mam!” Stampers!
