Have Punches, Will Create!

Do you LOVE Stampin' Up's punches?  Have you ever tried them?  Well, for my stamp clubs this month we kicked it up a notch and worked on thinking outside the box when layering punched images.  Thanks to a fellow blogger, Kim Singdahlsen, we used her idea and created our own layered looks with just about every single punch I own!
I am usually the sort of layering fool that loves when everything matches.  Same shape, but in different sizes.  Well, each punch is like new again when you pair it up with a completely different punch! 
I used all 2011-2013 In Colors to showcase the layouts....LOVE these colors! 
Here is the card we made.  CASE'd!
It showcases the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder, Tasteful Trim Bigz XL, and PUNCHES!!  I used the Butterfly, Bitty Butterfly, Decorative Label, Scalloped Oval, Large Oval, and Modern Label punches.
Thanks for stopping by!

Pop-Up Posies and Elegant Lines Embossing Folder

Do you love to give gifts?  Have you seen these adorable tags from Stampin' Up!?  They are from a kit called Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit.  Only $12.95 and it includes the stamp, too!  I have had my customers make these at several parties and everyone loves how easy they are to make!  The kit includes everything you need to make 9 (or more if you share the wealth!) tags ready to give with your gift.
My friend, and downline, Erin made this adorable card for her Open House a few weeks ago.  I LOVE SU's BIG SHOT and the embossing folders are one of my favorites to use! 
Yesterday morning, I had a stamp party and I decided to CASE Erin's card. :)  This is my version:
As you will soon find out, my favorite color is PURPLE!  I love everything purple!  Wisteria Wonder is one of the 2011-2013 In Colors.  Love it!  These cards also use several punches and the Crochet Trim I used is such a beautiful ribbon.
