Scrapped! Punch Power

 



Scrapped!✂ Punch Power!!!

This month we showing how to use Stampin' UP! Punches for scrapbooking!  
I created a 6" x 8" layout for my pocket style album and will feature a 3" x 3" photo. 
Watch my video to see how to create that sliding journal spot with the
 Rounded Rectangle Punch. 


I used the Bee Builder Punch and had to pick with bee to use. 
Left Bee: All stamped on Basic White with different ink colors. 
Bee Right: Stamped on different cardstock colors with the same ink. 


The banners on the top left corner were made using the 3 Banner Punch. Watch my video to see how to make each banner the same size. 


My Tip for using Punches is to pick the right size of Paper and to make sure you are stamping in the matching direction of the punch. 
For the Bee Builder Punch I wrote the measurements best to use for paper when you just want one of those punch images. 
Little Heart: 1" x 2"
Big Heart/Wings: 1 1/2" x 3"
Bee Body: 1 1/2" x 3"
You need enough paper to hold on to, so keep that in mind. Also, you can create a mask to stamp through if you are worried about punch line up. 
The Pool Party shows where I stamped the wrong direction and could not punch it out.

Fun Fold Friday- Painted Pumpkins Pop Up Card


Fun Fold Friday with Painted Pumpkin Bundle! 

This Fun Fold was created for my September Demo Swap. Here is what it had to include:
✔Use a color from the Regals Family
✔Use an Embossing Folder
✔Pop Up Fun Fold
✔Hello or Thinking of You Card 
✔Bling



Watch my video below and then find my full Tutorial 
and links to the products I used at the very bottom. 






The Painted Patch DSP was really the star for this card. I only stamped once and that was for the greeting. 
*I used an early release embellishment and this one isn't available yet. 



I used the DSP for the squares on the Pop Up center but you could use Basic White and have stamped images on there as well. I just loved the DSP so much and it was a time savor. Images ready and colored!



But where would you write a message on this card? Don't worry, we got your back! 
You can write a message on the Basic White on the back center of this card. Don't forget to save your DSP scraps to put at the bottom of Basic White. 


I ran out of my first design with the DSP and switched it out to this mini pumpkin center and leaf front and LOVE this result as well! So, feel free to mix and match your DSP and create so many different combo creations! 


Measurements
Cajun Craze: 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" scored @ 3 1/2" & 7" (base)
1 1/2" x 6" (cut 3), scored @ 1 1/2", 3, & 4 1/2", 2" x 2" (pumpkin)
Pool Party: 3 1/2" x 3/4"
Basic White: 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" (back), 3 1/2" x 3" (arch)
Secret Sea: 2" x 2"
Golden Glow:1" x 1"
DSP: 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" (cut 3), 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" (cut 6), 3 1/4" x 1/2" (back)

Steps
  1. Measure, score and cut your paper. 
  2. Die cut the Cajun Craze Pumpkin, Golden Glow stem and Secret Sea Leaves.
  3. Die cut the arch with the 6th smallest arch and them emboss. 
  4. Stamp onto the Pool Party with Secret Sea, "Hello Gourd-geous" to the far left. 
  5. Glue DSP to each panel. 
  6. Pop Up: Then glue the DSP squares to the 1 1/2" x 6" cardstock. Trim the ends of the cardstock just a "smidge". Glue by lining up the score lines of the cardstock to the inside of the card at the 7 inch score line. Start with the top, bottom, then middle to help with spacing. *Tip, when cutting DSP squares be sure to cut them side by side for the DSP and so you can have it line up nicely. 
  7. Front: Liquid glue the arch. Use Stampin' Dimensionals for the Pool Party. Create the pumpkin by using a Glue Dot for the stem and Dimensionals behind the top of the bottom and behind one leaf. Embellish with 3 gems. Use Wink of Stella on the top half of the pumpkin. 
  8. Back: Glue the DSP strip to the bottom of the Basic White and attach to the center back of the cardbase. 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
