More Uses for Punches (and dies)

Let's talk about more ways to use our punches (and dies). Think of them as cutting tools and not just a circle or label or specific shape. -Using a circle punch to create leaves was a tip I learned at my very first demonstrator event with Stampin' Up! -Making decorative ends to tabs and sentiment strips is another way I often use punches. Dies could be used with way, too. I'll put that on my li...

More Uses for your Punches and Dies: Masks/Stencils

Today's Frugal Friday topic is finding more uses for your punches and dies. I made masks (or stencils) using punches and dies. You can make your mask out of cardstock, printer paper, or acetate sheets. The acetate sheet I used came in a new photopolymer stamp set. These stamps are intended to be adhered directly to your stamp case, so this is a great use of those sheets. Try a variety of shapes...

Frugal Friday: Using Scraps--of paper that is!
Переглядів 2721 день тому
In today's Frugal Friday episode, I share some ideas for using scraps of patterned paper and cardstock. A key product I use is adhesive sheets. Adhesive sheets make this technique quick, easy and not so messy, as opposed to using liquid glue to adhere the strips. I used die cuts on my striped paper, but you could easily use punches as well, or cut a rectangle or square for a background for a se...

Online Exclusives are just that, not found in a printed publication, but only found in my online store.

I love the candle. Neat way to jazz it up.
The flame is really cool.
I love what you did with the trees and the blending brushes. I didn't know you could use a circle punch as a corner rounder. Cool.
Lots of good tips on modifying your card.
Thanks @barbaraarmstong4295!
I love the primary colors. It is so fun for a birthday!
Watching on replay and letting you know that it's fine to put my swap cards in a blog post! :) Making a mask and also keeping the negative is brilliant. It really gives you options for coloring and ink blending. This is a great set. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the lovely card using lovliest tree. I make cards for the visiting pastor’s use. Your wonderful card is going out to her church members this year.
Love your card! Thanks for sharing.
Hello! Watching from Whidbey Island, Washington. Love these ideas. Thank you for sharing.

Delicate Wings is the April 2024 Kit. What is the May 2024 kit?
I don't use bright blues very often and would like to use them more. Stamping out colors together is definitely helpful to figure out where to go with color selection. Love the bright colors you ended up choosing for your second card. Reminds me a little of the July 2023 Paper Pumpkin. There was a starfish in that one! Thanks for all of these videos, Sue! So helpful, and lots of inspiration!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Now that I can really see them together, I love the Shaded Spruce with Shy Shamrock! Gorgeous background stamping. I love how a background stamp or die can help make a fast, striking card.
I think Shy Shamrock is going to be used a lot around here! It works well with so many colors.
Another beautiful card! I really like the pinks that are available right now, especially Bubble Bath.
I was so happy to welcome back Pretty in Pink!
Gorgeous stamping! I still love Lemon Lolly. One of my favorites that Stampin' Up has released.
I need to post my card next to the dress that inspired me. I really do find inspiration everywhere.
Peach pie and Pumpkin pie really are gorgeous together. I know I should be thinking about summer cards but I just love the earthy fall colors. This Peach pie would be good for summer too, though! I just love the card you made! I've been in a stamp/stencil mood lately, so it's fun to see another idea for that technique. Good call on punching the layers out of your mat layer. I've sometimes cut almost the whole center out when I'm running low on a certain color of cardstock! I just use a square die to cut it out. Even with the price increase, though, the Stampin' Up cardstock is still a good deal, I think. It's such good quality and you get a lot of sheets.
Thanks again for the reminder! I have the deckled rectangles dies and can die cut a nice size layer with those.
I love the card sketches! Great walk-through! I love the cars you made, especially the one with fall colors. Lots of inspiration in the catalog, I agree. Thanks for all the insights and tips. Always good stuff!
Thanks! Sorry this one was so long, but I thought it was important to point out the differences from past catalogs, and share how I'm going to help get you the 'missing' information to everyone.
I don't use ephemera packs very often (except in Paper Pumpkin, which is slightly different), but I can see how they can be handy for creating quick cards. They're often nice for mixed media projects too, a technique I haven't really done much of. I find it interesting though! I need practice to learn how to layer precut pieces like this so that it looks good. Appreciate the catalog intro!
Yes! I think of Paper Pumpkin when using the ephemera packs. While they can be used for quick & easy projects, they can be used with more involved techniques and crafting, too.

Great card!
Oh dear im so excited to make this box but your completely out of camera honey
I'm sorry you couldn't see everything clearly. Please reach out to me if you need more information.
I love the tool box
Cute card!
I love the valentine!
I love the hearts! Cute card Sue!
Thanks Kristen! They are a nice size heart for stamping on.
This is such a great bundle!
It is! I've found lot of options for using the stamp set with and without the dies
Great video!
Thanks!
Very cute card. Love that little owl and easel cards are cool.
Your bag is very cute. I think I’m going to make some. Thank you.
I hope you had a chance to make some of these! Thanks for watching.
CUTE!!
Soooo cute! 💖🤗🌹
Thank you! 🤗
Your stamping tips have helped me immensely! I enjoy stamping a lot more than I did when I first started making cards, and now I even look forward to making cards that are primarily stamped. Still need to work on my coloring with alcohol markers, though ...
Keep practicing! And don't be too critical of your work.
Love, love, love the way you adapted the tackle box dies to make a general cover die for a card! I'm going to try to adapt the September Paper Pumpkin stamp set and the Thanks a Bunch Sale-a-bration stamp set to recreate something similar with a basic rectangle. That Thanks a Bunch set has a really nice leaf stamp that I just discovered! Thanks for the inspiration. All of these cards are fabulous!
Thanks! My inspiration is on page 18 in the September - December 2023 mini catalog.
It's such a joy to sit down at the craft table and have some of the cutting and stamping done -- a little stack of pieces ready to put on a card and an idea already in mind about what to make. Making your own card kit is a great way to do that! Thanks for sharing your ideas. I think the kits you put together for single cards are really nice, so it's fun to see your idea expanding to fill up a box for multiple card ideas. Thanks for sharing!
I like our Paper Pumpkin kits, but sometimes I want to use other stamps I have purchased. Creating your own kit with products You love is the best of both worlds. It just takes some planning and prep work to create the kit.
Hi from ND, catching the replay
watching the replay!
Thank you for letting me know, Linda!
😂Yes I see all of the items that I could not stuff into my overstuffed suitcase 😁
Sorry--I didn't mean to 'rub it in' that I could fit them in my suitcase! LOL
Hi, Sue. Just wanted to tell you that I just made several of this card after watching your video. I added a little bling and changed the colors around a little, but other than that, it's pure you. I loved the process and loved the final result even more. Thank you soooo much.
Oh, I'm so glad you were inspired! That's exactly why I share!

Replay! 😮
*Promosm* 😘
Watching the replay in Illinois. 😊 Really cute card!! Perfect for the Fall. TFS
Thanks so much!
I’m liking those pumpkins! Replay 😁
They've been so much fun to play with!
I love the one you made with balloons! What a great set! Thanks for sharing all of these. I think I mentioned in the FB group that I used this in the July Paper Pumpkin.
I use the balloons a lot!
Love your alternatives, Sue! I'm still working in this kit because I love the add-on dies so much. Things I like about Paper Pumpkin: It challenges my creativity (I always make alternatives), it helps me build up my stamp collection with great stamps, and it results in a nice stack of cards for me to mail out or save for future occasions. I share your critiques about the card bases, but I always use them as DSP, so it's not really a drawback. I often add cardstock to the back of the sentiment tags and then fussy cut them or make a layered tag so that those are a bit sturdier. I appreciate the extras! Also, I'm catching up on your recent videos! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, Paper Pumpkin may not be perfect, but I learn so much from the kits and I LOVE getting new stamps every month.
Watching the replay from Abbotsford, BC, Canada ... and congrats to you Sue!
Thank you, Kim!
Watching the replay in Illinois. 😊 New Subscriber as well.
Thank you for subscribing! I take requests if there is something you would like to see me do.
I really like this card! I get really excited by cards that have motion or a bit of trickiness. The colors you used are really sweet. For the cutting, you might also be able to line up the die at the end of the cutting platform so that a nearly full sandwich ends up going through the machine. In other words, the portion that doesn't need to be cut would hang off the end of the platform or just barely be beyond the trailing end of the cutting plate. In this case that would be most of the cardstock, I guess, so perhaps that's a bit awkward. But I've had to do things that way on occasion!
Hi Nancy! I think my issue was the angle I was trying to die cut to be on screen. Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice cards 😁
Thanks
Replay! Like the new Moody Mauve color
At first it seemed outdated, but with so many other current colors to go with it, I'm loving it!
