Stampin’ Up! Festive Flower Builder Punch!

Stampin’ Up! Festive Flower Builder Punch!

Hey there! I hope you've had fun hopping through the Grand Vacation Achiever's Blog Hop! So many great projects I want to try, so little time! (sigh)

Today I have a new project I created using the Season of Cheer Designer Paper, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, and the new Festive Flower Builder Punch:

Stampin_up_season_of_cheer_1 - Copy

I used a "Z-Fold" layout to show off the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Poinsettia.

You may be looking at this flower and thinking, "Wow, that's an expensive flower to put on a card with ALL of that Glimmer Paper!", but actually all it takes is two 1"x 12" strips to punch all of the leaves and the center. That's only 1/6 of a 12" x 12" sheet, so not as much as even I thought it would take!

Stampin_up_season_of_cheer_2 - Copy

I scored the back side of each leaf with my Simply Scored and stylus to give them a little more dimension. The back of glimmer paper is slick, so it's a little trickier to score than regular card stock.

I embossed the inside layer with the Boughs & Berries folder and stamped two sentiments from Versatile Christmas with Night of Navy ink. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the two coordinating sentiments to look like one phrase.

BTW, we only have Son-in-laws, no Daugher-in-laws. All 8 of these grandbabies do not have the Payne last name!

I'm so thankful that God blessed me with my handsome, honest, hardworking, trustworthy, stubborn husband, our 3 daughters, 3 sons, 3 son-in-laws, and 8 grandchildren. My life is full and blessed!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Lots of Joy!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Lots of Joy!

Hey there! I'm back today for Sunday Swap Day! yay! All of today's cards are created with the Lots of Joy stamp set from the Annual Catalog:

First, Sandy Carlson  created a neat pull-up gift-card holder, using two prints from the Merry Moments paper, Real Red, Old Olive, Silver Glimmer, and rhinestones:

Stampin_up_lots_of_joy_10

As you open the card it pulls up the gift card pocket!

Stampin_up_lots_of_joy_11

Next, Peggy Murwin created a side-easel card:

Stampin_up_lots_of_joy_7

This card makes a great table-top decoration:

Stampin_up_lots_of_joy_8

There's even an extra greeting surprise!

Stampin_up_lots_of_joy_9
Janet Wakeland used the Brick Wall folder as her background for her Merry & Bright greeting. The Cherry Cobbler Thick Baker's Twine bow really pops on the Crumb Cake "brick wall"!

Stampin_up_lots_of_joy_6

My fellow Stamper's Dozen Blog hopper, Stella MacKay also used the Brick Wall folder for her background, adding touches of Silver Glimmer Paper and rhinestones for some sparkle!

Stampin_up_lots_of_joy_5

Amy Combs used the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions folder for her background, adding a bit of a Tea Lace Paper Doily, Gold Glimmer star, Brights Candy Dots (on sale this week), rhinestones, and a couple of White Perfect Accents. I love that she stamped her greeting and mounted the punched tree on a Project Life 3" x 4" Grid Card!

Stampin_up_lots_of_joy_4

Karen Kurz also used Stylish Stripes to emboss her background, then cut a ring of Gold Glimmer to frame the ornament.

Stampin_up_lots_of_joy_2

Finally, Robin Merriman stamped the Hardwood background with Tip Top Taupe ink for a rustic look, pairing it with Real Red and Mossy Meadow. After punching her tags with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, she embossed the Real Red one with the Woodgrain folder:
