Punching Fun



I got a new paper punch and I can’t stop punching shapes out.  It’s addicting.  In fact, this punch is so versatile, I had to show you the different shapes that are possible with just this one punch.  But then I realized there are only FIVE days left of Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-bration. What does that mean? It means there are only five days left to get a free sale-a-bration product for every $50 you spend at my store!  So, I picked out a few things that add up to fifty dollars and then I created a bunch of cards with these same products to show you all the things you can do with the same tools.  That’s what I like, being able to use my tools more than one way!




Above is the Decorative Label Punch, Stampin’ Write Markers in 2014-2016 In-Colors, a black Classic Stamp Pad, Whisper White Cardstock, and Dimensionals.  If you buy all five of these products, you can get the Simply Wonderful stamp set FOR FREE.  FREE STAMPS!! 


This also happens to be a great group of products for beginners.  Not only can you get different styles of label punches with the Decorative Label punch, but the Stampin’ Write markers are a great way to add a lot of color to your projects at an amazing price.  What can you do with the markers that you wouldn’t be able to do with an ink pad? Well, you can use more than one color on a stamp or just use part of a particular stamp. The markers have two tips, a thicker one to ink up stamps and a thinner tip to write with. 


You can even water color with them! For the card above, I just spread about an inch of color on a plastic bag and then used a wet watercolor brush to pick the color up and apply it to the paper. 


I used a cotton ball to get the effect on the card above. Then, I created a template so I could find the perfect placing for the black card top.  I stamped my sentiment stamp and then used the template to get a perfect punch on the card top. Easy!

I made a huge mess and it was fun.  I wanted to make more but I caught that cold I always get when Winter is transitioning to Spring.  It’s a good sign though, right? It means it’s almost Spring!

HOW TO ORDER THESE PRODUCTS:
Click on the link below, make sure in the upper left corner on the site it says “You are shopping with Sarah Heller”

Then, select the following products.  You can enter the item number in the “search” column on the upper right corner of the website or you can browse through the tabs on the left.

After you add the items to your bag, you can select your FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set- it is called “Simply Wonderful”.  The stamp set is offered two ways: wood mounted and clear mounted.  I used the clear mount in my pictures.  If you order the clear mount stamp set, you need a clear block size D, it is an additional $8.50.  If you don’t have a block, just get the wood stamp set!

I created this grouping of products so that you can get the free stamp set and so the total is around $60.  If you live in Denver, the total with shipping and tax will be $58.88.  If you live outside Denver, the price will vary depending on shipping and tax.
