Punches, Punches, Punches

It's Sunday and that means a post with the Sisters in Stamping. This week's Sunday Fun Day theme is punches. There are so many incredible things you can do with punches. They are a great tool to have in your crafting supply stash.

I used the new ladybug punch in a different way than intended. It can be a bee. Isn't that the coolest? There are several other things you can make. Leave me a comment to let me know what else you think can be made from the ladybug punch?

I punched the body in black and daffodil delight. Then cut the daffodil delight into small strips and glued to the black body to make it look like a bee. I then cut the wings from vellum cardstock. But I scored a piece of vellum and folded it about a 1/4" so I could tuck it behind the top yellow stripe. That way you don't see any adhesive.

The little "Hello" is from the Ladybug stamp set. 

I used the Daffodil Afternoon Sale-a-bration paper for the background of this card. Yep, all three pieces of paper are in that pack. It's a great pack of paper and you will get it FREE when you order $50 worth of product from me.

Don't forget to head on over to Sisters in Stamping for more punch ideas.

Remember if you order today you can get the paper pack that I used on this card for FREE with a $50 order. Use this LINK to place your order. Also, with your $50 order I will send you a FREE PDF containing over 30 projects and instructions as a thank you.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

Punch Cards with the Sisters in Stamping

Hello Stamping Friends,

Today with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing cards made using punches. I have a little sneak peek of what's to come on Tuesday, May 4, 2021 for anyone who qualifies for host benefits. I hope you like it as much as I do.

I usually don't give sneak peeks, but since we are so close to the new annual catalog debut I just couldn't help myself. It's bright. It's cheerful. And it wants to be shared with my stamping friends.

I used the Tailored Tag punch to make a background for my card using a great new host only designer series paper. It's called Pattern Party and it's 12"x12" I also used the flowers from a host set called Prince and Princess. 

I just punched about 12 shapes out and attached them in an order that I found appealing. You can lay the punched papers in any order you want. Each card can end up looking so different depending on how you design the pieces. This is such a great way to also use up smaller scraps of designer paper.

I can't post the links to the paper and stamp set until tomorrow, so I will update the product list then.

Memory Keeping Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

I am so excited to share with you this great little scrapbook (memory album) that you can make fairly easily using one of our Memories and More Card packs. It would even be a great gift to make and give someone of a special event. Imagine their surprise when they open it. 

When it is closed, it is a cute, compact 6" x 6" book that won't take up a lot of room on the coffee table, but will leave a great impression on everyone who looks through it.

I call it a flip book because you keep flipping it open. It's quite impressive the first time you see one of these books.

Just keep flipping, left and right. And repeat.

Isn't it amazing. You can fit so many memories in this little book. 

And we are still flipping.

Almost there, but not quite.

Not yet.

And now we are all the way open. Isn't it the neatest thing?

I love making these books because when you use of Memories and More pack and some coordinating designer series paper you end up with a beautiful little book that comes together with minimal supplies, time, and ease of assembling.

If you order the supplies to make this project from me, I will supply the complete tutorial on how it is made. Or if you place a minimum order of $40 before shipping and tax, I will send you this tutorial. You are going to love it.

Don't forget to keep hopping to see more great Memory Keeping ideas.

Stampers Dozen Holiday Preview Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

It feels so good to be sharing with you twice in one day. I know I have been a bit sporadic in my sharing ideas with you, but I hope you understand. I thank you for being patient with me. Tonight's post is the monthly blog hop with the Stampers Dozen ladies. There is so much talent in this group and I'm so honored to be a part of it. I hope you enjoy the hop as much as I do.

This month we are sharing with you projects made using new goodies from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog (aka the Holiday Catalog). This catalog is jam-packed with so many awesome new products. If you haven't made your shopping list yet, I don't know what you are waiting for.

I used the Beautiful Autumn bundle for this card. The bundle is the stamp set and a great mini punch set (3 punches). It really is a simple card to make but the metallic elements in both the cardstock and the designer series paper makes it so elegant. It is sometimes difficult to capture the beauty on camera, but I promise you in person this card is gorgeous.

I just stamped a simple thank you on the inside of the card. You can certainly leave that off and send the card for whatever occasion you need a card for. Isn't that really the case with most cards?

Again, I just took a strip of the designer series paper and put it inside to bring the whole look together.  Keep Scrolling down and be sure to keep hopping. You won't want to miss this hop.

Thanks for stopping. See you soon.
