Build a Blossom in Daffodil

Sale a bration is such an exciting time. When you want stamps and supplies this is the time to get them. For every $50 you spend at Stampin' Up you earn a free item. That can be a stamp set or some other items listed in the sale a bration catalog. How easy is that?

Here I have made a card using the new Build a BLossom stamp set and the Blossom Petals Punch. It is so fun to stamp and punch. I love it and I bet you will too.

• This card was made with Dafodil Delight card stock and ink.
• Night of Navy ink for the center and accent on the strip
• Eyelet border punch was used for both the DD strip and the card stock weight vellum layer, which was run through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.
• Old Olive card stock got used for the little leaves

I think it is striking and can be used for almost any occasion, just add your sentiment to the inside and it's ready to take a ride in the mail truck. Do you love to get "real" mail. We get so much junk mail these days that a real card in amongst all of that is a real treat. Send someone a treat today. They will love you for it.

Luminaria

Hi everyone. This is the luminaria we made in our January class. This one is so easy that the hardest thing about it is to find the electric battery operated tea light that you'll want to put inside of it. I gave each of my attendees one just for coming to my class. Here is what we did.

1. Take a piece of real red card stock 3" x 10 1/4". Score at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 and 10". This will leave a 1/4" tab. Fold and crease all score lines.
2. Take the heart to heart punch and insert your card stock all the way into the punch and center it in each of the rectangles you created when you folded it. So you will punch four times.
3. Take 4 pieces of 2 3/4" x 2 1/2" vellum and adhere to the inside of each panel.
4. Glue the tab to the other end of the strip forming the four sides.

That's it. This can be done with any extra large punch that Stampin' Up has to offer. It works well with the snowflake punch, star punch, full heart punch.
