Here is a fun out-of-the-box idea for the NEW Stocking Builder Punch and the NEW Stitched Stockings stamp set of seven images! This cute little hobby horse makes a GREAT toddler birthday card!!

 
I used Stampin' Up!'s Seam Binding ribbon for the horse's mane. Attached it with Sticky Strip, then cut off the long edge and ravelled! Simple!! The youthful background papers are "Just Add Cake" Designer Series Papers. Purchase your supplies HERE and give this a try!

 
This is an easy "trick:" ink up your clear acrylic block with a Classic (dye) ink pad. Then stamp it as a soft frame for your main image. Here it anchors the "Gently Falling" 2-step leaf. To create the ruffle, place Sticky Strip on the very edge of the back side of the cardstock and pleat the soft Seam Binding ribbon and press onto the Sticky Strip. Such a lovely touch!

 
These Pleated Medallions (sometimes called Lollies) are so HOT! HERE is a great tutorial from my demonstrator friends Tami, Elizabeth, and Julie! Thanks for sharing gals! I love the NEW Beau Chateau Designer Series Papers I used here. Buy your Simply Scored tool HERE and have fun making Pleated Medallions! It's easy!!

 
Gently Falling is a FUN 2-step stamp set of 12! I used a Stampin' Up! clear Acrylic block inked on a Crumb Cake ink pad to create the soft square background - so easy. To make this ruffle, put a strip of Sticky Strip along the very back edge of your card. Then pinch and attach Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon to the Sticky Strip. The Stampin' Up! Seam Bindings are soooo flexible and easy to use with this technique.

 
Gently Falling Stamp Set of 12 isn't just for the colorful northern Autumns. Leaves are wonderful for lots of occasions like men's birthdays, sympathy, thinking of you, thanks yous, etc! I stamped the two-step images and then embossed the cardstock with Square Lattice Embossing Folder and my Big Shot.

 
The embellishment is a huge Spice Cake Designer Button! LOVE this stamp set!! Stop back tomorrow for another idea with this versatile set.

 
I whipped up a stack of these sweet little 3X3" cards with my contact info inside. I keep them handy when I'm out and about, wearing my logo shirts. I'm ALWAYS looking to share Stampin' Up! with others. This company has brought such wonderful friends into my life! And income and travel and FUN!!

 
I used the yummy Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Papers which are all neutrals and soooo easy to combine! The greeting is the NEW Occasions Alphabet that I find very handy. Don't you LOVE the New Quilted Satin Ribbon in Early Espresso color?? So much texture in one tiny card!

 
The NEW Stocking Builder Punch is sooo fun to use with different Designer Papers! Here I used the New Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty Designer Series Papers from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I added a touch of RED Glimmer Paper for glitz! Very traditional.

 
Look how the feeling of the card totally CHANGES when I use Well Woren Designer Series Paper! One of the designs in this packge looks very much like OLDE BRICK so I used it as the background - perfect! Very aged. Which do you like better??

The Spice Cake Designer Series Paper adds a perfect touch!

Here is a cute "pet lover's" birthday card created by Dena Rasmussen, my fellow demonstrator (from Rockford, IL) using the "Not So Seriously" stamp set of 12. The Square Lattice Embossing Folder for the Big Shot creates LOTS of texture for the background. The tied and frayed Linen Thread addes a playful touch! Clever!

 
I really love this new Holiday Mini Catalog's Pines & Poinsettias! This is a 3X6" card of Crumb Cake Cardstock. I used the Designer Frames Embossing Folder with my Big Shot to create a border for the image.

HELP...I can't stop! I've created over 30 cards with this one stamp from Gently Falling Stamp Set in the NEW Holiday Mini Catalog and the Mocha Morning Specialty Papers!! Everyone is different, but soooo classy! Neutrals have a distinct elegance. The sweet raised frames around the leaf are the new Designer Frames {set of two} Embossing Folders for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.

 
These cards can be used for soooo many occasions. I like to keep lots of blank cards on hand and add the greeting as I send them.

 
This card from my upline, Tami Waddell in CA, was my inspiration. I just loved her creation. The great thing about stamping is SHARING all our ideas!

 
I've been busy stamping up a storm for a demonstrator swap for the NEW Holiday Mini Catalog that starts TODAY!! I chose the lovely Pines & Poinsettias stamp set for my cards.
