Easter Bunny Butt Punch Art Card

Ok, I was inspired by a fellow demonstrator for this card…and my customers loved it!  Punch art is so fun to do – and bunny butts are just "stinking" cute! 

The fence was made with strips of card stock and the jewelry tag punch.  The cross post hides the meeting up of the two pieces.  The grass was made with the leaf from Bloomin' Marvelous (a Sale-A-Bration stamp set).  The clouds were made by punching out a scallop circle and then sponging over it with Bashful Blue.

Valentine Owls on a Swing Card

I host an All About Men stamping event every winter.  At this event, my stampers always create a valentine for their someone special.  My customers love the owl punch so I knew I had to work it in to one of my projects.

The tree branch is from the Take Care stamp set.  I was inspired by another demonstrator's non-Valentine card using the owls on a swing.  Thanks Michelle!

Valentine’s Day Photo Frame

At one of my events this winter, my customers came to pick up the new catalogs (spring and SAB).  This was the make and take they created that evening:

This was SUPER easy, but so versatile.  You can still get the flip photo case (DESKTOP DISPLAY CALENDAR CASE-#127033-$1.95) from me.  The Valentine insert was created with Big Shot items and our new Delicate Details Lace Tape.  Sadly, the Happy Valentine's Day phrase is no longer available, but you can certainly find another heart or image in our fabulous catalogs! 

What I really love about these cases is you can always change up what you are displaying since you can insert a new piece anytime!  I'll be using this idea throughout the year and sharing my creations on my blog.

Share the love…today and every day!

Honeycomb Heart Technique Valentine Card

This is one of the techniques I taught at a recent Technique Tuesday stamp class.  This Honeycomb Heart technique uses 8 punched shapes and some Tombow glue.  I love our Polka Dot DSP!  It was perfect for this card.  After you punch out the hearts, fold them in half and then glue them together, tapping them on the folded section so they line up correctly.

Here's a side view of the technique -

I used the Patterned Occasions Sale-A-Bration stamp set for the latte image – just colored in the heart with a Real Red marker.

The tent card format is one of my favorites – the base is 8" x 4" .  Just be sure to use your Stampin' Up! grid paper or an envelope to make sure you place your tent "topper" at the right spot (oh, and don't forget to only put adhesive on the bottom portion of that topper!).

Here is my second spooktacular sale card!  Did you know we have a new stamp pad called Illuminate Glimmer Watermark?  You can find this on page 23 of the Holiday Mini Catalog.  It is perfect for a night sky or a scary pumpkin face!  The illuminated pumpkin faces in the background remind me of my favorite Halloween movie – It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!  I'd sit with Linus in the pumpkin patch; wouldn't you?

 P.S.  The bat is made using our new butterfly punch.  Punch one butterfly out of a scrap piece of paper, and then using the punched out piece, punch the bottom half of it again for this whimsical bat.  Add a gem for a little sparkle!

Happy Hour Wedding Card-VC Rocks Blog Hop

Hello all and welcome to the last VC Rocks Blog Hop this year.  We are featuring the Big Shot, punches, and the Simply Scored Tool. 

This year, my downline will be creating set samplers at every meeting.  My favorite stamp set right now is Happy Hour-and I love making samples with it!  However, I wanted to show a real standout and elegant card using this set.  Here is what I came up with:

I love this color combination – Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray, and Whisper White – and it is EVERYWHERE!  I used the Scallop Square Die and the Delicate Designs embossing folder with my Big Shot.  See those wedding bands?  I used my 1/2" circle punch first and punched out two circles.  Then I took my 3/4" circle punch and punched over the "leftover" scrap piece where I had punched out the first circles.  You'll get those perfect little wedding bands!  You can use mini glue dots or Tombow multipurpose glue to adhere the wedding bands to the ribbon.

The Delicate Designs embossing folder is simply gorgeous – I especially love to use it with our Whisper White card stock!  Add a little bling with our basic gems and our Daffodil Delight seam binding and it really dresses up the card.

I hope you enjoyed this stop along the way.  Enjoy the day!
