Stampin’ Up! Pretty Petals Thoughtful Banners!

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Petals Thoughtful Banners!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a quick card that I created to use more of the Pretty Petals Designer Paper before it retires. I combined retiring, carrying-over, and Sneak Peek products to create this:

Stampin_up_thoughtful_banners_carolpaynestamps1 - Copy

I started with a Kraft card stock base that I embossed with the Woodgrain folder. I adhered a piece of Pretty Petals Designer Paper, then added the punched greeting and a bow tied with Metallic Gold Baker's Twine.

Stampin_up_thoughtful_banners_carolpaynestamps2 - Copy

"hello sweet friend" are all individual phrases from a sneak peek set from the new 2016/17 Annual Catalog called Thoughtful Banners. After stamping on Very Vanilla with Old Olive and Calypso Coral, I punched with the sneak peek Duet Banner punch. I punched two more Duet Banners from Kraft card stock scraps to frame the greeting label. After adding the greeting with Stampin' Dimensionals, I added a Gold Metallic Baker's Twine bow with a glue dot.

Inside I used the same inks to stamp a sentiment, blooms and leaves from the Birthday Blossoms set. The blooms coordinate well with the Calypso Coral blooms in the Pretty Petals paper.

Although some of the supplies used today are retiring, you can still order them from my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Moon Lake!

Stampin’ Up! Moon Lake!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! This week has been my week to stamp! I ran some errands on Monday, but ever since I've stayed home and stamped, stamped, stamped! It seems like it's always either a feast or a famine!

My card for today is a CASE of a swap I received from my swap guru, Carol Nordquist. Carol is the lovely lady in Minnesota that I mail my 21 identical swaps to every month, then receive 20 different swaps back about a week later. As the swap guru, Carol gets to keep one of each as her "reward" for organizing the swap, sorting them into everyone's mailer, then taking them back to the P.O. Only occasionally does she swap too, but when she does it's always gorgeousl! Today's card is no exception:

Stampin_up_moonlake_1 - Copy

Carol used the Occasions Catalog set, Moon Lake. It's gorgeous detail and inspiring phrases make this set versatile as an all-occasion, and even a masculine set. One of the really fine features of this card is that it needed NOTHING more than stamps, ink, paper, adhesive, and three embossing folders! NO additional embellishments!

It's an easy card to make and an economical one to mail.

Stampin_up_moonlake_2 - Copy

The only sentiment added was the "to a great FRIEND" from the Sale-a-bration set, Simply Wonderful. I'm finding I'm using this set A LOT right now, but I need to because after March 31st it will be gone!

Stampin_up_moonlake_5 - CopyCarol's card was originally colored with Blendability alcohol markers, but because Stampin' Up! has had to suspend the sale all the Blendabilities due to quality issues, I switched to sponging and markers.

One touch I DID NOT change was Carol's use of the just  a itty bit of the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder on the water portion of the goose image. It really adds to the "ripple effect"!

That's all for now. Here's the supply list for this card, which we will be making at a couple of workshops this month. Use this shopping list to help you place your order in my online store: ww.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! As promised, I have swaps to share today! Let's get started:

Stampin_up_tap_tap_tap

First, a brand-new set called Tap, Tap, Tap. The Hardwood background was stamped on all five cardstock strips to give it a "paneling" look.

Stampin_up_wetlands_1

Next, color was sponged on the background,the Wetlands goose was stamped, then framed with "Polaroid" mat cut with the On Frame framelit dies.

Stampin_up_lovely_as_a_tree

Lastly, the oldie-but-goodie set, Lovely As a Tree was given a fresh look with the "split negative" technique. DID YOU KNOW? Lovely As a Tree has been in the Stampin' Up! catalog for over TWELVE years? It is the longest-sold stamp set ever! I've been a demo for 11 years, but it has been with Stampin' Up! longer than I have! This card combines Lovely As a Tree, Hardwood Background, Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder, and a bit of Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape. Perfect!

That's all for now. Enjoy your Sunday! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! New Weekly Deals and a Blendability Release Date!

Stampin’ Up! New Weekly Deals and a Blendability Release Date!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's raining here today. ALOT. It's dark and sleepy. I wanted to stay in bed all morning, but there's too much to do for that!

Before I share the new weekly deals and a card, I want to let you know that we finally have a release date for the first 6 colors of Blendabilities Markers!!!!!

Drum roll  . . . . . .

JULY 1ST!!!!!!!!!

That's right! Beginning July 1st, (which is just one week away!) You will be able to finally order Blendabilities in the following colors:

  • Cherry Cobbler (item #130995)
  • Coastal Cabana (item #131000)
  • Daffodil Delight (item #130998)
  • Old Olive (item #130999)
  • Pumpkin Pie (item #130997)
  • Rich Razzleberry (item #131003)
  • Skin Tone Assortment (item #129370)

Each color comes in a 3-pack of light, medium, and dark of the designated color. I've played with these some already and they are SO MUCH FUN!

Each color pack will be $11.95 for all three hues with the exception of the Skin Tone Assortment, which  will be $22.95

In addition, the following accessories will also be available:

  • Memento Ink Pad (item #132708) $5.95
  • Memento Ink Refill (item #133456) $4.95
  • Color Lifter (item #129369) $4.95 -This might be better called a "color lightener". It DOES NOT erase color completely, it more like bleaches or lightens it. And it DOES NOT work on our regular Classic water-based dye ink at all.

More good news! The next 6 colors will be available for you to purchase on August 1st!

Whew! Are you as excited as I am? Up to now all I've been able to do is just tell my customers "no you can't order the Blendabilities yet, and we don't have a release date either". I'm SO GLAD to be able to give you a start date! yay!

Another exciting announcement are the new Weekly Deals for June 24-30! Great time to get the Big Shot toys you've been wanting at 25% off! Go to my Online Store HERE and click on the "Products" tab, then "shop now"!

10382646_10203474429375525_3541351391746509844_n

Here's today's card, another creation by my downline, Linda Reaney. Linda used the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies (on sale in the Weekly Deals this week!) to cut out the tree in the new Hostess set, Nuts About You!

Stampin_up_nuts_about_you_1

I love Linda's choice of the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder to emboss the Early Espresso layer and the new Mossy Meadow In Color is perfection for the foliage!

How about the perky little Pool Party birds?!

That's all for now! Here's the supply list for Linda's card. You can find all of these items in my Online Store too:

Stampin’ Up! Geometrical Cheer Up! Owl!

Stampin’ Up! Geometrical Cheer Up! Owl!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again today with another card using the Geometrical stamp set and the Owl Builder Punch. I think I'm a little obsessed, but the phrases in this set are just so different from anything we've had in awhile, I'm really diggin' it! Stampin_up_geometrical_owl_buttercup
I started with a cardbase of Coastal Cabana, then added a layer of Soft Suede that I embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder. Before I embossed the Soft Suede, however, I stamped the tree branch from Take Care with Early Espresso ink so I would have something for my little owl to sit on!

Today's owl is Early Espresso with a vest of Retro Fresh Designer Paper and those adorable Gold Sequin Trim eyes!

I inked the "cheer up buttercup" stamp from Geometrical with my Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana, and Early Espresso Stampin' Write Markers, then stamped on a scrap of Naturals Ivory. I cut it out with one of the Word Bubbles Framelit Dies in the Occasions Catalog, then mounted it above the owl with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_geometrical_peachy_keen

Inside I simply inked "you're Peach keen" from the Peachy Keen stamp set with the same markers. Those cute little "arrowheads" are inked with the same colors too and mimic the designer paper vest on the owl! I love the way Stampin' Up! coordinates several different products into a "suite"! You will find all this suite on pages 18-19 of the New Occasions Catalog.

That's all for now! Tomorrow is my "Yes, Mam! Stampers" downline meeting and I am prepping this card for the Shoebox Swap! yay!

Until tomorrow, which is Sunday Swap Day, have a Stampingrox! day!
