Here's how I used one of this week's DEALS . . .

Merry Minis Punch Pack
MERRY MINIS PUNCH PACK 
Price$16.95 $12.71

When I represent Stampin' Up! at vendor shows and craft shows, I like to offer a free make-n-take for customers to create.  Last fall, I used the Merry Minis punches to create these make-n-take cards!  Didn't they turn out cute?!  I like to make 3"x3" cards. They are quick and easy, they efficiently use a sheet of 12"x12" cardstock (you can get 8 cards from one sheet!), and they fit in Stampin' Up!'s mini 3x3 envelopes, too!






All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Card Recipe
Stamps:  none
Ink:  none
Paper:  Season of Style DSP, Winter Frost DSP (both retired), Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, Glimmer papers in Champagne, Silver, and Red, Whisper White cardstock.
Extras:  Merry Minis punches, 1" Square punch, Postage Stamp punch, Dimensionals.
Inspired by:  Dawn Olchefske

Purchase the Stampin’ Up! Supplies to make this project at my ONLINE STORE.

These little cards make the perfect thank-you note or gift package card - and they are super easy to make with these sweet punches.

Hey there, stampers!  Today is the LAST DAY of FREE Shipping - what a great easy way to save 10% on your whole order!  And this cute Birthday Cake stamp is retiring - so get it while you can!  This first card was created by Karla Larson, a fellow demonstrator friend.

Ink:  Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry

I love this card created by Dawn Olchefske, too!  The layout, the layers, and the colors all come together to make a tasty combo!


You can see how the layers are raised using Dimensionals - they add SO much flare to a card!


In order to give her Birthday Cake multiple colors, Dawn stamped it a second time using Raspberry Ripple ink, then cut out the section she wanted to use and attached it right over the Chocolate Chip cake image.


A little touch of Early Espresso Baker's Twine and this card is a yummy treat for anyone!

Swing Cards . . . Made Easy!

Hi, stampers!  I have a super fun WOW card to share with you today!  After making a cool swing card at a DOstamping Club class and seeing how EASY it was, I knew I had to try it for myself!
Here's the front of the card . . .


. . . a close-up of the cute stamped/punched/glittered cupcake atop the diecut window sheet . . .


. . . and here's what this baby can do - watch it flip!


The back side of the cupcake circle has a spot you can decorate, and the right section has space for the greeting and your own sentiments!


The view from above . . .


. . . from the left . . .


. . . and from the right!  Such a fun card - I know the recipient will love it!


 I made a bunch of these cards for our most recent DOstamperSTARS swap - a meeting for all of Dawn Olchefske's local downline demonstrators. Here we are - aren't we cute?!  Dawn is on the left in purple - I'm in back in yellow.  (photo courtesy Gene Olchefske)
