Pop & Place

Stampin' Up has done it again!  Another great photopolymer set along with a Holiday Gift Tags Book had been introduced.  This time they have gone with a fabulous Christmas theme and I just love it!  The new Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags come in a booklet of 70+ tags in five designs--created from our existing punch and die shapes.  They even have put together a kit for newer stampers with the Stamps, Gift Tags, C block and Soft Suede Stampin' Spot for $24.95.

Soccer Ball

My niece Emily turned 10 this past Friday and we celebrated all together at Sakura in Glastonbury.  It was Emily's pick and we had a great time.  I decided to try one of the soccer cards I've seen going around because Emily loves soccer.  The honeycomb embossing folder makes a great base for the soccer ball.  I just ran another piece of Basic Black through it and cut out inside the grooves for the spots on the ball.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Banner Greetings (Hostess), ABC-123 Sketch Alphabet
Ink: Basic Black
Card Stock: Whisper White, Soft Sky, Garden Green, Basic Black
Accessories:  Honeycomb, Square Lattice, & Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders, Large Scallop Edgelets

Cupcake Builder

Hi Everyone,

As most of you know I love Stampin' Up's punches, but I realized that I rarely use the Cupcake Builder Punch.  So when Taylor and I sat down the other night to make a Birthday card for my friend we decided to Case this card: Card Kit Creativity .  We just made a few changes to make it our own, but used the basic layout. 

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: Create a Cupcake
Ink: Elegant Eggplant
Card Stock: Smokey Slate, Elegant Eggplant, Night of Navy, Whisper White
Accessories:  Chevron Embossing Folder, Large Scallops Edgelits, Decorative Label Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Cupcake Builder Punch,

New Photopolymer Sets

Hi Everyone,

Stampin' Up added 2 new sets to their photopolymer sets today.  I love both of them, so many ideas come to mind to use them.  I finally ordered my first photopolymer set the other day and can't wait to try it out.  Here are pictures of the 2 new sets and if you are interested you can always place an order in my online shop.
