And here’s the twist....you’ll only need ONE Designer Series Paper Stack for every 8 people with no leftovers. Whether you’re a Stampin’ Up demonstrator or simply a lover of punch art this class is for you.

 I hope you’re as excited as I am! Here are the details....you’ll get full color photos, cheat sheets, step by step instructions and videos for each critter. I’ve also included a punch art video full of tips to help you get the most from your punches.

Here are some additional features

You’ll get photo tutorials for cutting your Card Stock and Designer Series Paper.

For those of you who like videos I’ve included one for each critter showing how it’s assembled.

If you like keeping it quick and simple I’ve posted the cheat sheet and card sample for each critter so you can click on the photo and save it to your computer without downloading any documents.

I’ve included individual instructions you can download for each critter with a sample photo of the card, a cheat sheet, supply list and step by step instructions so you can make one card at a time.

If you’re planning on holding a stamp camp I’ve included instructions on class set up so you can use one set of punches for a large group of people.

Make Your Own Envelopes

Donna Griffith showed us how to make these adorable envelopes using the Diagonal Score Plate and Designer Series Paper. I tried several different sizes and thought I'd put them all in a document for easy reference. I have the measurements for 28 different size envelopes that you can

download here Download Diagonal Score Plate Envelopes.

If you watched Donna's demonstration you know how easy these are to make. I've put together a video showing how to make a few different size envelopes including the open end style for long cards.

Birdhouse Card

This would be a great card for a Fun Folds class. It's made using the Diagonal Score Plate and some punches. The card base is 11" x 3-3/4" and the fold is scored at 1-7/8". The roof is a 3" square cut in half on the diagonal. If you'd like more details scroll down for the video tutorial

Diagonal Plate Card Box

Here's a project using the new Simply Scored Diagonal Scoring Plate (shown in my last post). I won a diagonal scoring plate at leadership so I've had a little bit of time to play with it. I'm hoping to have time to post a few more projects this week. Here's an Envelope Style Card Box I made using the Diagonal Score Plate.

 

Simply Scored Diagonal Plate

Demonstrators can preorder the new Diagonal Plate for the Simply Scored Scoring Tool starting today. If you're not a Stampin' Up demonstrator you can order yours on March 1st. I won the diagonal scoring plate at leadership so I've had some time to play with it. I'll be posting some projects this week but for now check it out on this Stampin' Up video.....

FYI I've had a few people ask if the diagonal score plate will work with other scoring tools. I tried it on my old scor-pal and it doesn't fit. The plate is 12-1/2" square and the scor-pal is 12x12 with a lip on 3 sides. It looks like it might work with the Martha Stewart Scoring Tool but I can't confirm that.

   

How to Make Stamping Guides

I was inspired by a cool new stamping tool that just came on the market called Stamping Gear. It's a guide that allows you to stamp shapes around an evenly spaced circle. While I don't have a lot of use for large stamped wreaths, I thought the concept was really neat. I used some of my Big Shot dies to make some of my own guides from fun foam. The first photo shows guides for stamping in a straight line. I stuck 5 layers of foam together with Big Shot adhesive then cut it out with the Tasteful Trim die. Each one of the trim pieces gives a different spacing.

I used the Flower Folds die to make a guide for stamping in a circular shape (shown in the photo below). If you want your stamped images closer try using one of the scalloped circles to make a guide.

Well I'm off to play. I'll make some samples to post.  See the video below if you need more details.  

More Leadership Samples

Here are some more samples from Leadership 2012 and the San Antonio Regional.

 

Leadership Samples Video (Part 1)

I took hundreds of photos while I was at Leadership. Since I can't post them all on my blog I put them into a video so they would be easier to view. The video moves through the photos fairly quick so if you spot a card you like and want to look longer, just pause the video. Music would have been nice but that's way beyond my technical skills. Sorry

 

Twitterpated Birthday

I made this card with some of the products from the Twitterpated Suite in the 1012 Occasions mini. The flower is a CASE from the Sale-a-bration catty and the hat pins are one of Stampin' Ups newest embellishments. If you're not a Stampin' Up demonstrator you'll have to wait until January to see all the new products but I'm sure you'll love them as much as I do.   

 

 **Tip**   To attach a fabric flower like this one, punch a small circle from card stock and stitch the flower to it or use a brad to attach the flower to the circle then you can glue the card stock circle to the card without it showing on the inside of your card.

 

Here's a video tutorial to make the fabric flower
