Stampin' Up! New In-Colors

Welcome to Punchin' Up!


New In-Colors

I'm so excited to be able to show you the new In-Colors for 2016-2018.  I absolutely love them, they just make me happy. I have been working with them the last week or so trying to get ready for my open house/retirement product sale.  Here is a picture of some of the things I have made that my Club members received at my open house...bookmarks, wish lists and fancy paper clips.  Thanks for the ideas, Becky.


Here is a sample using each one of the new In-Colors, Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo peach and Sweet Sugarplum, I can't decide which one is my favorite, as I think they are all AWESOME!!!!!

If you would like to order any of the product shown, please visit my online store.

New Month--New Catalog

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

 Busy, Busy and Busy

Oh my Gosh.... it's been a couple of weeks since I posted anything.  Sorry!!!  Life has just been crazy, with Graduations, First Holy Communion, Weddings, Anniversary's, Birthdays, Baseball Practice and Games, Dance Recital, end of school year parties, Stampin' Up! Card Classes and the list goes on and on,  all packed in just a couple of weeks.

I'm sure for a lot of you it's the same.  I'm not sure why, but "May" always seems to be so busy. 

So for today.... I'm posting pictures from the "Retiring Products Card Class" I had last week.  We just had to have one more time using some of the fun products before they are gone forever.


Love this Designer Series Paper 
and Yes..
The Cups and Kettle Framelits
 So sad to see them retired...

 



Just had to use the Lace Ribbon one more time and the Scalloped punches...
 Oh... how I will miss all the Punches
(but I still will keep my stash of punches as I LOVE Punch Art)

New Catalog is HERE
 
I hope you all are as excited for the new Catalog as I am...new products are always soooo FUN.

 If you are one of my regular customers you should have already received your catalog if you haven't, please let me know.  

If you don't already have a Demonstrator and would like a catalog, please let me know and I will give you the information on how I can send you one.
Just leave me a message or send me a personal message on my Business Facebook page

Oh Happy Day--New In-Colors


Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Oh Happy Day


I made this card for a local Demonstrator swap that I do once a month.  I used all the NEW 2016-2018 In-Colors for the balloons.  I LOVE the new in-colors as they just make me feel happy when I look at them, so I thought this saying "Oh Happy Day" was perfect for this card.  I'm excited and looking forward to being able to create and share with you all the fun things that can be made using them.


I also used a technique that I learned at On Stage last month, curling the Baker's Twine.  I didn't realize that you can curl the Baker's Twine just like you would curling ribbon for a package by using the edge of your scissors.  I think it just adds dimension to the balloons on the card.  
What do you think?

Stamp Set:  Scenic Saying (New 2016-2017)

Beautiful Blessings- Rose Wonder

Welcome To Punchin' Up!

Beautiful Blessing 

First of all I want to say.... I hope all you moms had a wonderful Mother's Day.  Mine was fantastic... BBQ, good food and my family what more could I ask for.

This card I am sharing today is a card that we made a couple weeks ago at my Stampin' Up Card Class/workshop that I have at my house.  I received a card similar to it from my friend Linda in a card swap.  I thought it was quite pretty, so I had to duplicate it with a few changes of my own. It is using many colors of card stock and a variety of  circle punches.


A great way to use up those scraps that we just can't throw away. LOL

Stamp Set:  Rose Wonder
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Wild Wasabi

Timeless Textures


Welcome to Punchin' Up!


Thinking of You Card

This is another one of the cards that we made at my Stampin' Up! card classes last week at my house.  A very simple card to make, but by adding a touch of pearls and Wink of Stella to the flowers seems to make it so pretty.

 I can't take complete credit for this as I received a card with no name on it in a swap at On Stage that was using this type of stamping idea.
I took the idea tweaked it a bit by added new colors, flowers, pearls and some shimmer to make it my own.


Products used:

Stamp Set:  Timeless Textures, Petite Petals, Wetlands
Cardstock:  Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Blushing Bride
Accessories:  Petite Petal Punch, Pearl Basic Jewels, Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush
