Stampin’ Up! Work of Art Blackberry Bliss Blossom!

Stampin’ Up! Work of Art Blackberry Bliss Blossom!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had unexpected company today, Alisa, Cody & Oakley, and Kimberly, Tony, & Liam! They all came over to play in the baby pool (which they ALL fit in, BTW) and then afterward Alisa & Kimmy helped me with my convention swaps! They really helped boost me forward! Thanks, sweethearts!

Today I have another card we made last month at a Stamp-a-Stack with the Work of Art set:

Stampin_up_work_of_art_1
I had received a swap that was stamped with Hello Honey for the bloom and decided I wanted to try it with Blackberry Bliss. I LOVE IT!

This card is smaller than the normal A2 size we usually stamp. I used Whisper White Notecards and envelopes, layered on Mossy Meadow, then finished with another Whisper White layer to stamp. I used Hello Honey 3/8" Striped Satin Ribbon for the bow, and punched out the center greeting with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

Here's a tip to stamp the leaves on the stem. Ink up each end of the chevron stamp in the Work of Art set separately, then stamp with each end to create the leaves. Easy peasy!

On the inside I used more Work of Art stamps to create the butterfly and the smaller  bloom at the bottom:

I inked just a bit of the end of the flower stem stamp with a Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write Marker to stamp the body of the butterfly after I had stamped the wings with the heart from the set. I used the heart to stamp the smaller bloom too!

Stampin’ Up! Work of Art Tangelo Twist and Hello Honey!

Stampin’ Up! Work of Art Tangelo Twist and Hello Honey!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Tonight is the final night of our VBS! We have finished our crafts and tonight is the program and a playtime with blow-up bouncers and other fun stuff!

Today I'm sharing my final two samples from my Open House, but first, here's a pic of the whole group of In Color samples all together:

Stampin_up_work_of_art_1

I had a hard time deciding which colors to cut the cardstock for my Open House ladies to make. I ultimately ended up cutting cardsock so they could make the Blackberry Bliss or the Lost Lagoon, but I kind of hated that they didn't get to make the other colors. At least we have two years to play with them before they go away!

Here's the Tangelo Twist up close:

Stampin_up_work_of_art_angelo_twist_1

I REALLY LOVE this years' colors! Usually there's one color each year that I'm not excited about, but not so this year! I love them all!

Here's the Hello Honey:

Stampin_up_work_of_art_hello_honey_1

Isn't the 3/8" Satin Ribbon yummy? The color is so very rich and coordinates with the cardstock and ink perfectly, and its both soft and voluminous at the same time!

ETA: MaryAnn has requested I post the class handout for these cards. It's pretty simple. Here it is:

Stampin’ Up! Work of Art in a Lost Lagoon!

Stampin’ Up! Work of Art in a Lost Lagoon!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Friday's Open House was a smash hit! Lots of catalogs given out, grab-bags grabbed, cards made, and lots of BOGO products out the door!

Guess you can tell from today's title that the second Make & Take color choice is Lost Lagoon:

Stampin_up_work_of_art_lost_lagoon_1

The same layout as yesterday's Blackberry Bliss card, same Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack, same ribbon, just all in Lost Lagoon.

I pulled the Hello Honey color from the designer paper to stamp the heart accent.

That's all for now. I'm headed for bed! One more Open House session on Saturday afternoon and then it's relaxing time for me!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Work of Art with Blackberry Bliss!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a quick post as I am making my final preparations for my New Catalog Premiere Open House today and Saturday.

Today I'm sharing the Make n' Take using the fab new catalog set, Work of Art, and the yummy new In Color, Blackberry Bliss! Yes, all the shades of purple are from the same inkpad! I just inked once, stamped full strength, stamped a second time without reinking, then "breathed" on the stamp before the third and fourth stamping. Delish!

Stampin_up_blackberry_bliss_1

The Blackberry Bliss cardstock, ink, and 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon are all NEW products, as well as the Work of Art stamp set and the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack. I used the Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad, which will be available mid-summer along with the Stampin' Blendabilites markers for my greeting and sentiment stamping. Can I just say it's my favorite black ink EVER?! You are going to love it too, I'm sure. It's crisp, clean, dark, and doesn't smear! yay!

I added individual sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim with glue dots for the perfect final accent!

Stampin_up_work_of_art_blackberry_bliss_2
There's not much to put on a supply list because most of the products will not be available to order online until June 2nd, but I will try to edit this post on the 2nd to add them.

This is one of two new In Color combos my stamping friends will have to choose from. Which color do you think is the alternate choice? Come back tomorrow to find out!

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day, on Monday!

Stampin’Up! Sunday Swap Day, on Monday!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! My weekend got pretty filled up with family time and prepping for family time. My hubby and kids ordered the new sectional I wanted for Mother's Day, but I needed to do some carpet cleaning and re-arranging before it arrived. Here's the result after giving away two couches and a piano:

Sectional

I must admit because of the DDOS atacks on the Typepad platform lately it has been hard to stay focused on blogging. I apologize for the interruptions and my lack of posts. I plan to continue blogging no matter what, so don't give up on me.

Here are my Sunday Swap Day swaps, on Monday!

Friends Who Know, a new catalog stamp, by Stella MacKay:

Stampin_up_friends_who_know_stella_mackay

Work of Art. I'm not sure who is the creator of this card, but I love it!

Everything Eleanor and Petite Petals by Patty Chenail:

Stampin_up_everything_eleanor_patty chenail

 So Very Happy by BJ Peters:

Stampin_up_mixed_bunch_bj_peters

Lee Conrey's swap was pretty special. She donates her retired swap fronts to an organization for exceptional adults. They turn her swap fronts into notebooks. Lee purchased the books from the organization to give to us as her swap. What a great idea to support them from both ends! Lee does charity stamping functions monthly and has built her business upon giving back to others. Lee lives in Florida, but because of Stampin' Up! I am so blessed to know her.

Here's the contact info of the organization:

 That's all for now. Just one week left before we can order from the new catalog, and just four more sleeps until my New Catalog Premiere Open House! yay!
