Stampin Up Bloomin Bouquet

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Beverly

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and got to enjoy some rubber stamping! Today’s project is a Stampin Up Bloomin Bouquet made with paper flowers.

Stampin' Up! Bloomin' Bouquet Paper Flowers

You can easily create a dozen beautiful flowers to give to someone special, including an extra one to give as a quick thank you to someone else. (Or keep for yourself—hey, your flowers, your rules!)

These flowers would make a great gift for Mother’s Day, or any other special springtime event. Just imagine presenting a beautiful, handmade bouquet, complete with your own touch, such as a vase, some tissue paper, or a bit of lovely ribbon or twine. It’s a gift that says you care—and will last longer than real flowers! Watch this video and see more information below.

The Stampin Up Bloomin Bouquet (134542) comes as a Project Kit and it includes the following:

2 sheets of 12″ X 12″ cardstock featuring 13 preprinted and precut flowers (flower colors: Pool Party, Gumball Green, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Rich Razzleberry
13 Vintage Faceted Buttons
13 green floral wire stems

All you need is adhesive (recommend a glue gun), and you’re set! This kit is only available while supplies last, for $12.95.

Stampin Up Photopolymer Stamp Sets

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Beverly

I am excited to announce that Stampin Up has added a new product to its line of stamps – Stampin Up Photopolymer Stamp Sets. The release of these stamps is on a trial basis, and today Stampin Up made its first set available for purchase. Any future-released stamp sets will depend on popularity of the photopolymer stamps. So if you want to see more, give this first set a try.

The first stamp set released today is:

Stampin Up Photopolymer Stamp Set

Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set that includes 57 PIECES! It costs only $13.95 and the item number is 132956. You will need the Stampin’ Up! clear blocks A, B, G, F, and I for the stamps in this set.

The Stampin Up Photopolymer Stamp Sets are transparent and provide perfect placement every time! Other great things about them:

They are durable; the photopolymer material is designed to last.
They stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
They’re age tested; they won’t yellow or cloud up over time.
They use FDA, food-safe material.

This picture provides a better view of the first Stampin Up Photopolymer Stamp Set:

Stampin Up Framelits – Use Differently – Part 2

Posted on February 27, 2013 by Beverly

Yesterday, I shared an alternative method for using Stampin Up Framelits to create a debossed frame from a negative cutout. Today, I am sharing another alternative method for using the Stampin Up Framelits. This method provides a framelit size that is different from the usual.

If you have used any of the Stampin Up Framelits that are of the same design (i.e., Hearts Collection, Floral Frames, Window Frame Collection, and Labels Collection), I’m sure you’ve noticed the size between each framelit is no less than 1/4″.

Personally, I prefer the size between the Stampin Up Framelits to be smaller (i.e., 1/8″). To that end, here is an alternative for you to acquire a smaller size.

ALTERNATIVE 2: CREATE A STAMPIN UP FRAMELIT CUTOUT THAT IS ONLY 1/8″ LARGER THAN THE NEXT SMALLEST FRAMELIT (NOT THE USUAL 1/4″)

STEP 1. Select one framelit and desired card stock and cut out two framelits using the Big Shot. (Refer to yesterday’s post for the Big Shot sandwich.)

STEP 2. Lay the next smallest framelit onto one of the cutouts with the cutting edge facing upward.

STEP 3. With a pencil, trace around the framelit.

Stampin Up Framelits

STEP 4. Using paper snips, cut along your tracing.

Now you have a cutout that is 1/8″ smaller, except at the very top. I like the look better, don’t you?

Using this tool tip, your top framelit will provide more room on which to stamp.

STAMPIN UP FRAMELITS – HOW TO USE THEM DIFFERENTLY – PART 2

Stampin Up Owl Punch – Happy Valentine’s Day – Guneaux Designs

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Beverly

It has been a while since I used the famous Stampin Up Owl Punch, so I decided for today’s post I would use it to create a Happy Valentine’s Day Card. This card is one I made for my grandchildren, and it is a gate fold card.

I pray that you have a blessed day with your Sweet Valentine!

This is a closeup of the owl. Isn’t he a cutie? I love his eyes!

I used a retired stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Friends to create a tree branch. The stamp image is of a bird on a branch. It took some careful maneuvering to extend the branch and not include the bird (lol).

This picture is of the inside of the card. I used Stampin’ Up!’s My Digital Studio to create the sentiment. I think my grandchildren, who are young, will laugh at the sentiment.

SUPPLIES USED TO MAKE THE STAMPIN UP OWL PUNCH VALENTINE CARD

Stamps: Retired Stampin Up Forever Friends Stamp Set

Paper: Stampin Up More Amore DSP (129309), Real Red Card Stock, and Very Vanilla Card Stock

Ink: Pool Party Classic Ink, Gumball Green Classic Ink, Primrose Petals Classic Ink, Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker, Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write Marker, and non-SU markers

Accessories: Stampin Up Owl Punch (118074), Hearts Collection Framelits (125599), Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (Circle Punch) (118309), Bigz Scallop Squares Duo Die (120903), 2-1/2″ Circle Punch (120906), Stampin’ Up!’s My Digital Studio (130647 – for sentiment), and Sponge Dauber (102892)

Stampin’ Up! Owl Builder Punch

This card would be an easy one to CASE, and I hope you try! Again, have a wonderful and Happy Valentine’s Day with your special someone!
