Stamp Set of the Month Kit- Let's Set Sail

 

Here are the cards YOU will get when you order the Let's Set Sail stamp set from my online store using the Hostess Code ETDCBADQ for the month of June! 

You just need to order the stamp set, but you will want the Sailboat Builder Punch too and get it as a bundle to save 10%!  

For these cards I tried really hard to show you 4 different ways to use this stamp set and punch. I have a black sailboat, white sailboat, stamped only sailboat, and a stamped and punched sailboat! These look like the boat is out at different times of the day (moonlight, sunset, and day time). When you order I will send you an email with The Penny's Crafter's Tutorials using this same stamp set! So you will get 6 more ideas for there!

Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Builder Punch Guide

 

Sometimes Builder Punches can be hard to stamp just right! My Tuesday's Tip at Ten is to help you get the line up perfectly by creating a guide. 

First, punch out from a scrap of cardstock the builder punch shape. I am using the Sailboat Builder Punch, which has 3 stamps images that you could punch out at the same time. 

Next, line up the stamps faced down into the cardstock where the punch pieces are missing. 

Then grab a clear block that would be big enough to have all 3 stamps on it (this one is a D block) and place over the stamps. Press a little hard on the back of the clear block to make sure the stamps attach to the block. 

Lift up and now you can stamp your sailboat shapes all in one color and punch it out all at the same time. 

Here is an example of what I made using this tip!!!

Hope this tip helps you with all of your Builder Punches! See all of Stampin' UP!'s Punches by visiting my online store here. 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
