Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board: Bermuda Bay Mini File Folder Card

I'm always amazed at how many different things you can make using the Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board.  I've made so many different sized and shaped boxes, folders and envelopes.  I made the little file folder on this card using the punch board.  Love the way it pops against the Stampin' Up! Bermuda Bay card stock. 



Decorative Dots embossing folder, Petite Petals stamp set & punch, Tiny Wishes



Folder Measurements:  White card stock piece:  3 1/2 x 2 1/2.  Line up at 2 1/8 and punch.  Now line up the left edge of the paper to the left side of the "punch" and punch (see photo).  Cut straight across the top to leave a tab and give it the folder look.  I hope that makes sense... you may want to play with scraps until you get it right.



Technique Tuesday: Soot Stamping

Today's technique is "Soot Stamping".  This technique is not one of my favorites, but I can see this technique used on a Halloween card to make it extra spooky.  I will have to try it!

Craft Room Inspiration

A friend used to have this hanging in her craft room and it went across most of the wall...  So beautiful and inspiring.  Looking at this every day would get me inspired in my craft room!

Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board Basket

I was playing around with my Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board and made this adorable basket.  I got the idea from a very talented demonstrator from the UK...  Pootles.  She has some amazing ideas on her blog.

Scalloped Envelope Treat Bag

I was playing around with old DSP paper today and created this cool Scalloped Envelope.  It's great for holding little treats...  I had a Hershey Bar laying around so I stuck it in there for the picture.



Measurements:  7 1/2 x 5 and score at 3 1/2 and 7



  

Throwback Thursday: Roses In Winter Gift Pouch

This Throwback Thursday sample was from a demonstrator swap.  I think they used a template for this gift pouch.  I used to love this old stamp set...  Roses in Winter.  I was refreshing my displays and this inspired me to create a new gift pouch with current DSP and embellishments.

Stampin' Up! Sympathy Cards

It's unfortunate, but some times we need sympathy cards.  I think any pretty set will work for sympathy as long as you keep it simple.  I just got this swirl set, Stampin' Up! Flowering Flourishes and I think I can do a lot with this one!
