Washi Tape

2012-11-27 001 006

Have you played with Washi Tape?? Here is a simple use for Stampin' Up!'s SEASON OF STYLE DESIGNER WASHI TAPE #132155. Cover any scrap of cardstock with strips of Washi Tape, then punch out a tree using the PETITE PENNANTS BUILDER Punch #122361. The tree trunk is on a layer of Whisper White Cardstock with the punched out tree attached over the trunk! EASY & SIMPLE!

I use these cute little punch flowers often. They are created with Gold Foil Paper and the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. Punch two and after attaching with a mini brad, bend UP the top flower for lots of dimension!

This card would be a perfect make and take project for beginners! I used the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set which is really growing on me! This layout is simple, quick, and uses a minimum of supplies. Now let's STEP-IT-UP a bit...

Here are minor changes, and more interest! Colors are Midnight Muse and Bermuda Bay - striking!

A peek inside.

2012-11-27 002 002
Details: Cut a Cherry Cobbler Top Note Die in half the long direction and draw a bold line down the middle. Using a 3/4" circle punch, punch two half circles on each side of the line. Using a 1-1/4" circle punch, punch two half circles between the last circle and the outer edge of the Cherry Cobbler. Using Gold Foil Paper punch out a  Modern Label Punch for a "buckle" and Star Punch from Merry Minis Punch Pack for shoe "toe." "Legs" are about 5/8" wide and cut from Season of Style Designer Series STACK. Give it a try, and smile!!

Merry Minis Punch Pack

2012-11-27 001 005
These three little punches make some quick, cute little treats! Use ANY individually wrapped candy, like mini candy bars. You just need scraps of cardstock, designer papers, Glimmer Paper, or Foil Paper. For Lifesavers, I cut Midnight Muse cardstock into 1-1/4" X 2- 1/2" rectangles. I punched, backed with glitzy paper, folded in half and stapled onto the candy wrapper. It could not be easier!!!

2012-11-27 001 006
Here I used Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Designer Papers with Glimmer Papers.

Gosh I LOVE my Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. I use it to create sooo many things! This is a great example! I used four dies on this Autumn Thank U.

Expressions Thinlits HC
Tips: when using thinlit "word" dies, place waxed paper between the cardstock and thinlit so it releases easily. To attach thinlit "words" use tiny drops of Tombow Liquid Glue applied with a toothpick.

Washi Tape is repositionable, decorative tape to embellish many things including cardstock. It's a very fast layer!! For shine, I cut the "LOVE" with the Stampin' Up! Expressions Thinlits Dies #132171 using the Gold Foil Sheets #132622.

I love 3" X 6" cards and they require NO extra postage. I made this autumn note to send "speedy recovery" wishes to Shelli Gardner, Stampin' Up!'s CEO. Last week she was in a serious horseback riding accident and broke her wrist, pelvis, and collarbone. I'm feeling great empathy for her. Anyway, the new Envelope Punch Board made a perfectly sized coordinating envelope for my special message!

Punch n' Twist

2013-08-20 001 004
Which Stampin' Up! punch created these daisy-shaped flowers?? Answer: The Pansy Punch! How: punch a flower, then rotate that flower & punch a second time!! To make the second punch easier, temporarily attach a scrap of paper to the flower as a "handle" to hold the flower in place while punching.

2013-08-20 001 003
By double punching the flowers, you have a TOTALLY different shaped flower! TRY IT!!

I heat embossed this Christmas Tree from the SPECIAL SEASON stamp set in Iridescent Ice embossing powder over Silver Metallic Encore Ink. The camera did not pick up the sparkle I'm sorry to say.
