This little gift box measures 2″ square. It folds flat as it’s not sealed on the bottom but just tucks in, instead. As it folds flat is stores very easily and you make a few of these for all occasions. The designer series paper is called Paper Blooms. It’s another free item you can earn during sale-a-bration.

Punched Love Hearts Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I’m back with this gorgeous punched love hearts card. This project uses products from the new Spring / Summer catalogue. Real Red is one of my favourite colours and here is paired with a colour I never use Flirty Flamingo. I think they go together rather well.

The designer series paper (DSP), “From My Heart” is beautiful. It has foiled hearts in both Real Red and Flirty Flamingo. The hearts are punched out with the duo pack hearts punch. I’ve fussy cut out the small hearts.

There are quite a few new punches in the new catalogue. I love this return to punches as they make for easy and simple crafting. They are easy to use in classes and require no additional machine to use.

measurements

  • Flirty Flamingo A6 Cardbase – (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • From My Heart DSP – 14.35 x 10cm

Inlaid Punch Technique – Christmas Card Tutorial

I have a very simple but very effective technique to share with you today. I’ve used the technique of inlaid die cutting but with a punch instead. Wrapped in Plaid must be my most used Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the whole catalogue. I love it!! I’ve used scraps here to make this great card.

The cherry cobbler and shaded spruce are very traditional Christmas Colours. The white of the trees really makes them pop on this card. I should warn you, that you can not punch out the trees and use the reverse of the image as these trees are not symmetrical. You will need to punch the trees again from scrap cardstock. I then used liquid glue to inlay the trees into the punched “holes”. Don’t through out the first punched trees as you can use them on another card, that I will link below.

  • Wrapped in Plaid DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm

I love simple and easy projects such as this as time can be at a premium and it’s great to still be able to give that a handmade card.
