This is another "olde classic" out of my files! It makes me smile!
A peek inside.
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!!
Top Note Die #113463 - $21.95
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!!!
Here I used Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Designer Papers with Glimmer Papers.
The Merry Minis are NOT in the catalog, but STILL AVAILABLE and SOOOO versatile! Get them NOW!
We believe creativity brings people together...and hopefully they are chatting and having fun!!
Demonstrators, if you'd like this stamp, it's available on the SUPPLY LIST and is for demonstrators only.

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.
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.

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!
Look at the possibilities! The wait is over! ORDER it now!

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.
By double punching the flowers, you have a TOTALLY different shaped flower! TRY IT!!
