Tuesday Tidbit – Getting the Most from Your Punches

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE punches.  They are quick and easy to use, and they add SO MUCH to your card design.  But, they are an investment, so I like to get my money’s worth from them.

Today’s Tuesday Tidbit will show you how to get more bang for your buck when it comes to your punches.

Watch a quick tip video here!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this Tuesday Tidbit.  I have several more quick videos on my YouTube channel at Jeanne Moss – Bluegrass Stamper.

Freshly Brewed Projects – For The Guys

Today, I’m joining my friends again for another Blog Hop.  This hop is to show off a few masculine cards.  I know a lot of us have trouble coming up with ideas for the guys, so visit everyone’s site and I’m sure you’ll see some great new projects.

My project uses the Merry Moose stamp set and Moose punch.  These were in last year’s holiday catalog, but they sold out so quickly that most people weren’t able to get them.  To help with that disappointment, Stampin’ Up! brought these back in this year’s August-December Mini Catalog, and they’re still bundled!! That means you can still save 10% when you purchase both.

When I started with this project, I made a totally different card.  I made the card below with my stamping friends in a Zoom event I called Saturday Stampin’ Surprise.  I gave them a list of the pieces they would need, and then I talked them through making the card, sight unseen!  It was a lot of fun and they made beautiful cards!  I may try to talk them into letting me share them with you.

When I showed this card to my husband, he said, “that’s a Christmas card”.  I told him it was a birthday card, but he said it didn’t matter what greeting I stamped on it, it was red and green and therefore a Christmas Card.  Sheesh!

After giving it some thought, I decided to make a new panel to turn it into a real Christmas card and remake it in grays for my masculine card.

So, after all that, which one do you like best?

If you’re in the USA, and don’t have a demonstrator, I’d love to be yours!

Now, please visit the talented ladies listed below to see more great masculine card ideas.

New In-Color Just Jade Punch Flower

As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I am always trying to “Better My Best”, which means watching videos, reading about new ideas, and training to learn how to provide better service to both customers and team members.

I recently took an online Leadership Training with Ronda Wade.  This was one of our Make ‘n Takes, and I loved it so much that I just had to let my club members make it.

It’s super cute in ANY of the new in-colors and flower punches, and oh so quick and easy!  Thank you, Ronda Wade, for an easy class project!

Pillow Box Treat Bag

Last month’s Stamp Club was held online again, due to our state’s social distancing requirements.  It’s not nearly as much fun as stamping together, but we still had fun.  This was one of our projects.

It’s really easy to make.  You only fold one end of the pillow box together and leave the other end flat.  Use your punch to punch a “handle” in the flat end, and voila, an instant treat bag.

Here’s the fixin’s:

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed this project.

Band Stamping Technique Part 2

In my last post, I showed you a note card made with the Dino Days bundle and the Band Stamping Technique.  This technique is a great way to add depth, color and interest to your cards with very few supplies.

Today, I’m sharing a couple more cards using this technique.

Positive Thoughts

Believe it or not, I have even more samples with this technique.  I wanted to show my club members how well this technique works with any stamp set.  Stay tuned for more samples!

So Sentimental Magnolias

This month was a new adventure for my Stamp Club.  Our governor has banned gatherings, so stamp club was an online event.  It was quite a challenge to create projects that could be done with different stamps, dies and inks.  Stampin’ Up! has a strict policy against including stamped images in any kits, so everyone had to use the stamps, inks and dies from their own stash, along with the kit of supplies I provided.  It was really fun to see what everyone came up with!  I have very creative club members.

This was one of the cards we made.  I used the So Sentimental bundle for my greeting.  I love cards that are easy to make and our DSP does all the work on this card.

This magnolia paper is one of the best deals.  It is a bulk stack of Designer Series Paper that was created for demonstrators to use in classes.  It has 20 sheets of DSP, ten each of two double sided patterns for $17.  It’s now available to everyone, and it’s on the retiring list, so get it before it’s gone.  There’s also another package of magnolia DSP that has twelve sheets, two each of six double sided patterns, if you’d prefer more variety.
