Owl Punch Card


Don't you just love this cute little owl? He is so stinkin' fun! This was a card we made at Stamp Club last month. I LOVE the Two-Step Owl punch...so many different uses for this little guy! We used retired Designer Series Paper in Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive; but you could use the most current patterns on page 175 of the Idea Book and Catalog. The Happy Halloween greeting could easily be switched out for a fun birthday or thank you card. Edges were inked in Chocolate Chip with Stamping Sponges.
  • Stamps: SU Teeny Tiny Wishes
  • Paper: SU Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie DSP, Old Olive DSP
  • Ink: SU Chocolate Chip
  • Accessories: SU Two-Step Owl punch, Modern Label punch, Word Window Punch, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch, Stamping Sponges

Bella Toile Thank You Card


Another Wild Wasabi and Basic Black card! Don't you just love the Bella Toile background stamp? I know it isn't brand new, but I just bought this stamp a couple of months ago and I'm loving it! It provides such a pretty and elegant background for your cards. Love the new Perfect Punches stamp set, too. All the stamps in this set coordinate with one of our punches!
To get the two-tone image for the "Thanks" I first stamped the image in Wild Wasabi. Then, I used a Blender Pen to remove the ink from the "Thanks." Next, I used the Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to ink the "Thanks" part of the stamp. Finally, I was ready to stamp and punch! So easy, yet makes such a difference. Blender Pens are great tools, not only can you use them to add color to your image, but you can also remove unwanted color from areas on your stamp prior to stamping! Gotta love a multi-tasking tool like that!
  • Stamps: SU Bella Toile background, Perfect Punches
  • Paper: SU Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, Basic Black
  • Ink: SU Wild Wasabi, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker
  • Accessories: SU Big Shot, Square Lattice embossing folder, Scallop Oval extra large punch, Blender Pens, Stampin Dimensionals

Baja Breeze Butterfly Prints


Today's card is one we made at Stamp Club way back in July. Obviously, I'm a little late in posting it. Hey, better late than never, right?
We had fun stamping these sweet butterflies in Baja Breeze and using the coordinating Butterfly Punch. Love, love, love how SU coordinates stamps and punches! We added the butterflies with Stampin Dimensionals to creat depth. The Elegant Lines embossing folder was so easy to use with the Big Shot and added such great detail to the background of the card. Makes you just want to touch it, doesn't it? Distressing the edges of the sentiment was super easy to do with a quick swipe of the sponge dauber inked in Baja Breeze.
  • Stamps: SU Butterfly Prints
  • Paper: SU Baja Breeze, Whisper White
  • Ink: SU Baja Breeze
  • Accessories: Big Shot, Elegant Lines embossing folder, Butterfly Punch, Sponge Daubers, Stampin' Dimensionals, non-SU white ribbon

Altered Gift Bag

My Stamp Club met last week and one of the ladies had just celebrated a birthday! In fact, a friend of hers had purchased a Stampin' Up! gift certificate for me to present to her that night. Of course I couldn't just give her the gift certificate in an envelope! I used the Flower Folds Bigz xl die and some retired Kaleidescope Designer Series Paper (DSP) to dress up a plain white gift bag. I was pretty pleased with the results!
  • Paper: Retired SU Kaleidescope DSP (Sorry, it's not available now - but any of our great DSP would work perfectly!)
  • Accessories: Big Shot, Flower Folds Bigz xl die, non-SU white gift bag
