What young child wouldn't like this card for his birthday? Elmo, Cookie Monster & Big Bird all using punches. I believe for the heads she used a Scallop Circle punch then put it back in again & rotated it a bit before punching.
Stampin Up supplies used: Real Red 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, various circle punches, oval punch, Word Window Punch, Scallop Punch, Pinking Hearts Border Punch, retired Designer Series Paper.
Barb brought this card to show me about a week ago. So glad to see she is using some of her Stampin Up product she purchased longer ago. I love it and if you haven't figured out what she used to make the flower & stem, it is the Bird Builder Punch.
Stampin Up product used: Big Shot, Lattice Bigz Die, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Whisper White Textured cardstock, Bird Builder Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Real Red 5/8" Satin Ribbon.
Although Nancy is in a much warmer place right now she had showed me this card prior to leaving & I had not showed it yet. Thought it was a perfect time due to the snow we just received yesterday.
Isn't it just adorable?
Punch art is so fun. How many different Stampin Up punches can you see used here? I see at least 7 without too much looking. Love also the Basic Pearl she added to the snowflake.
Have a great Friday!
I can't believe my February Stamp a Stack is next week already. I know the RSVP is today but I do have spots open so will still take them until 9pm tomorrow so I can cut it this weekend.
I was asked to come up with a tag for a customer so she could use it as a business card. I ended up liking the tag & decided I could add it to a card and use it as my last Stamp a Stack card.

Here is another fun card that could be used as a graduation card but also just for someone who accomplished something & you want to share it with them. I used my Simply Scored to make the lines around the outside of the card. The glittery star on there was our silver glitter paper but it you see it in person you will see a yellow tint to it as I had sponged it.
The best part is the stamp set was free. It is in the Saleabration Brochure & now through March 31st you can get it free if you put in a $50 order.

I received a beautiful Convention swap card this summer from another demonstrator Michelle Halleen who made a Twisted Easel card. Her card is pictured below mine. I loved all the colors & thought it would be the perfect boy or masculine card.
Stampin Up Product used: Stampin Up I Dig You stamp set, Well Worn Designer Series Paper, Modern Label Punch, dimensionals, Basic Rhinestones.
Many of my customers are always looking for nice masculine cards. I found a similar card using some different Designer Series Paper so I changed up the colors and the paper.
Stampin Up products used: Pocketful of Posies Designer Series Paper, Loads of Love stamp set, Loads of Love Accessories stamp set, Watercolor Paper, Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Aqua Painter, Night of Navy 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, dimensionals, glue dot & 2 circle punches.
Just wait until you see tomorrows Stamp a Stack card. It is another masculine card & it is called a "Twisted Easel" card. You will just have to come back to check it out.
I had so much fun playing with some of my new toys a week ago. This uses a new stamp set from the Occasions Mini called "Love & Laughter". I think it could be used for a wedding, wedding shower, anniversary or engagement card.
I am so loving the Saleabration Designer Series Paper called "Everday Enchantment". I stamped on one piece after cutting it with our new Labels Collection Framelit Die & Big Shot. This piece was also sponged & several Basic Pearls were added. I then took a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock & used the tiny hearts Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing folder.
I will also have an option to stamp some flowers with the Bordering on Romance stamp set if you don't want to use this stamp set for the Stamp a Stack.
What do you think? Want to come stamp with me?
Nancy is down south for a couple months but prior to leaving she left this cute Valentine treat bag for me with a couple Ghiradelli chocolates in it. How sweet.
She used a taller sack but cut it off. The Whisper White cardstock was crimped & sponged. She used a retired stamp set, Big Shot, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit Die, Basic Rhinestones, Cropodile & Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.
Can't wait for you to be back Nancy.
