The 20 cards I created use most of the self-adhesive die cuts included in the kit – but there will be some cut card stock and Designer Series Paper left over to use on other projects.  You can even make the kit go further if you stamp or punch other items to accent the cards.

Today I am featured in the SUDSOL New Catalog Blog Tour!  SUDSOL (Simply Unique Demonstrators Sharing Online) is a fabulous resource for demonstrators, and this group of stampers is so willing to share their business ideas, creative projects, and support.  SUDSOL is especially wonderful if you don't have a local or involved upline.  I have been a member of SUDSOL since 2002 – and it is the email group I turn to for 100% of my business questions.  You must be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator to join this group, and there is a fee to join, but this group will boost your confidence and business ability like no other on the web!  Plus, there are so many ways to earn FREE membership – why not take the 2-week trial and check it out for yourself!  Be sure to use me – Jane Hignite – as your referral!!!

I always host a Christmas in July stamp camp, which is a customer favorite.  This year, one of the popular cards at the event was my Punched Art Reindeer Card.  This card showed off the new Cherry Cobbler card stock, the Early Espresso card stock and ink, Jolly Holiday DSP, and even the new OWL punch.  I also used the brand-new stamp set WORD PLAY.  There are so many wonderful phrases in that stamp set!  This is the card we created!!  Isn't he cute?

Supplies Needed for Punched Art Reindeer Card:

• Naturals Ivory/Early Espresso/Cherry Cobbler CS
• Jolly Holiday DSP

• Paper Piercing Tool/Gold Brads/Hole Guide
• Word Play Stamp Set
• Tombow MultiPurpose Glue/Monoadhesive/Stampin' Dimensionals
• Toothpick/Empty Brad Container
• Scissors

Now, you could use this same idea of a punched art reindeer on other items so I created this adorable gift tag using the same punched art.  There is even room on the top right to handwrite the to and from.  I absolutely love using my BIG SHOT – and the TOP NOTE die is one that never seems to leave my table!  At first, I planned on diecutting my son's name (Joey), but it was more universal to use JOY instead.

• Jolly Holiday DSP
• Large Oval/Snowflake/1/4" Circle/Owl Punch NEW

Finally, I wanted to create a little make and take for an upcoming workshop.  For this I also used the new 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch – oh, how I love that punch!!!!  Here is a darling little tote that has reindeer food on the inside:

I certainly hope you enjoyed your visit on the SUDSOL New Catalog Blog Tour. 

This example uses the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder and the new Word Play stamp set.  Early Espresso ink and card stock and the new In Color Blushing Bride DSP from the In Color DSP Pack!  I LOVE the new options for DSP packs!  Want to see what else is in the Word Play stamp set?  (All images copyright Stampin' Up!)

I love these phrases…the Remember When is a great phrase to use with Campbell Soup (err, I mean Greeting Card) Kids stamp set!

Here is one of the examples for this week’s stamp camp:

I really think the crimping of the ovals add some fun to my fish!  Hope you enjoy this one!

Although very pretty, it may not jump out at you in the catalog.  At last night’s class, I showed my stampers a great WOW technique – Brayered Specialty Paper. It works best with the Bride paper (white) and the Bridesmaid paper (vanilla), but it doesn’t work with the Groom paper as it is BLACK.  Just by using your brayer/inkpad/soft cloth (to remove excess ink from the glossy parts), you can customize the specialty paper to whatever color you want!  That same paper now coordinates with my Rich Razzleberry cardstock!  I even brayered an extra piece for my punches!  

This was definitely the favorite card last night!  I hope you like it too!

The glittery Sending Love DSP is to die for!  I can’t wait to use it all up!  That heart corner punch is darling too!  I absolutely love the font of Whimsical Words.  I am hoping to see more of this style in next year’s catalog.

I enjoy hosting an All About Men Stamp Camp each year.  Most of my customers find it difficult to stamp for the men in their lives.  As I told my stampers, even a floral stamp set can be used to create a masculine-themed card if they plan their colors accordingly. 

I made 64 of these tumbled tile coasters as gifts.  The Medallion background stamp set is fabulous for this item!  I used Not Quite Navy craft ink. 

Punches must be my favorite accessory!  I hope you like my little Chilly Willy!

These are like the English favor known as crackers, but they don’t "crack"!  Take an empty toilet paper roll, fill it with candy or small item, wrap it up with tissue paper, and tie it with pretty ribbon.  Decorate with a tag and you are set for a placemaker or certainly a conversation piece!
