Punch Party; get it FREE during Sale-a-Bration

Who doesn't love free!?  There is a bonus stamp set added to every order over $300 during Sale-a-Bration this year.  It's called Punch Party & is available to both customers and demonstrators too! One thing I love about Stampin' Up! is that us demonstrators enjoy the same perks as customers! 

PUNCH PARTY HOST PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

I was able to pre-order this set during December; another favorite perk of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Details:

  • I also used a new and FREE Designer Paper called Paper Blooms here.  The colors are Seaside Spray with Navy & White.  I use this pretty color combo often. 
  • Can you tell it's a fun fold?  The Seaside Spray is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  I added texture with the Meadow Moments embossing folder.  The Navy layer is a quarter sheet 5 1/2" X 4 1/4". 
  • I punched a white Small Bloom punch and added a pearl to the center.  It's sponged for a bit of color.  
  • The main image is stamped and punched out with the Rectangular Postage Punch. 

Here's a close up of this lovely stamped image.

  • Fancy fold swap cards by my Flowerbug’s Team – with measurements!

    We swapped Fun Fold cards with my team in February and they knocked it out of the park! I've already shared quite a few of their cards with you and today I have more yet! 

    First up today is a pretty card made by Karen.  She found a new fun fold that's a take on a 'book-binding' fold but now completely new with just one additional piece.

  • Simple Direct to Paper Technique for quick gorgeous cards! Plus 6 ways to add ribbon! Video & free project sheet too!

    On last week's Live video I focused on the Most Adored specialty designer paper and shared the Direct to Paper technique and these gorgeous cards: 

    Mostly Adorned Direct to Paper technique.. Save

    Anytime we have designer papers with foil designs I think of this fun technique! It's basically rubbing or tapping your water based ink pad onto the designer paper. The ink soaks into the background but resists the foil designs. Simply wipe the excess ink off the foil with a tissue – done!

    Mostly Adorned direct to paper1 Save

    The colors above are Azure Afternoon and Pretty Peacock. Notice the different ribbon techniques and layouts. The left card has loops of ribbon added to the greeting label; the right has a simple fold of ribbon. 

    Each card has two main pieces – the designer paper is 3" X 4" and the layered, coordinating card stock is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4". Check out the different layouts with these basic pieces.  

    Mostly Adorned direct to paper 2 Save

    The left card above is Highland Heather and the right is Sweet Sorbet.  A few more examples of ways to add ribbon and change up this simple layout.  I added two thin strips of ribbon across the left card and tied a bow around the window frame on the right. 

    Remember this pretty specialty paper is available through February during Sale-a-Bration. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it here. 

    Keeping to a basic layout like this is a wonderful way to get a bunch of cards done quickly and use up your designer paper at the same time! I chose the Charming Sentiments stamp set for all of my greetings.

    The colors above are Copper Clay and Pebbled Path – 2 of our newest in colors.  Ribbon uses include a flag and a double bow.

    I hope you're inspired by the simply card idea, the technique and the 6 ways to add ribbon!  Watch the video below to see this technique in action!
