Framed Florets Thank You Card for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights Winners Hop

Hello and welcome to Kylie Bertucci's International Winners Blog Hop! Today I'm joining Kylie Bertucci and a group of very talented demonstrators for a blog hop around the world. I'm so excited to be participating in the Top Ten International Highlights Winners Blog Hop! I earned this honor with my card, In the Grove. Thank you so much for voting for me.

I'm still loving the Framed Florets dies and stamp set! Today I'm using them in red, black, and white for a thank you card. This is an easy and quick (except for the coloring) card to make. I started with an 8 1/2"" x 5 1/2" card base of Poppy Parade folded in half. The Basic Black piece was cut with, one of my favorite dies, Deckled Rectangle dies-next to the largest one, and adhered to the card base.

The black and white striped piece is from Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper and was cut with the third from the largest Deckle Rectangles die. I decided to adhere it at a slight angle.

A Poppy Parade oval was cut with the oval die from Framed Florets. An inside oval was cut from Basic White. I stamped the thank you sentiment from Charming Sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and adhered it behind the Poppy Parade oval.

The sentiment was adhered to the card front with dimensionals.

The flowers from the Framed Florets stamp set were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White and colored in with the Poppy Parade, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight Blends.

The flowers were adhered to the left side of the oval with dimensionals.

Framed Florets dies also have these cute little leaves in the set. They were cut from Old Olive cardstock and adhered below the flowers.

Now for that finishing touch, I added a trio of Brushed Brass Butterflies.

Updated with New Video-Very Best Trio Punch for Crafty Collaborations Share it Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog and the Share it Sunday blog hop. I am hopping with a talented group of demonstrators from around the world, so please visit their blogs listed below.

Today I want to introduce you to my You Can Thank Me Later Tips and Tricks for using Stampin' Up! tools. Today's tips and tricks are on how to use the Very Best Trio Punch. I have a video for you to watch on how to use this punch. Below are a few tags and bags I made using this punch.

This is one of the bags I made using this punch. This one was made AFTER I figured out how to use the punch.

Below is a tag made with the punch to match the bag.

This bag was made BEFORE I mastered the punch. Let's take a closer look at my boo-boos. The secret to correctly using this punch is to flip your paper EVERYTIME you change corners. I call this the flip-it punch!

This is a close up of the corner showing the INCORRECT way to use this punch. Notice the corners don't match up. I'll show you in my video how to correct this. (Flip your paper after punching the corner.)

Below is another gift bag I made before I figured out how to use the punch.

And here are the incorrect corners.

After I mastered the punch, I decided to make a card using the same design as the above card.

Here's a close-up of the corners.

Here's a tag I made using the decorative corners.

Now that I've spent most of my blog post talking about the decorative corner punch, let's look at the slanted corner. Below are 2 bags with tags made slanting the top corners and using the slot punch for the ribbon.

Click on the picture below to view the instructional video on how to use this punch.

I hope you found this video and blog post helpful and will decide you just have to have this punch. If you would like to purchase this punch, click on the picture below.

Fa La La Friday Bonus Holiday Free Tutorial and Video with Festive Foils

Hello, welcome and surprise! I extended my Fa La La Friday Holiday Tutorials another week. Why not! There is another week until Christmas, but if you haven't made and mailed your Christmas cards already, well . .. what can I say!

Today's card was made with the beautiful Festive Foils Specialty Paper, Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, and the Elegant Eucalyptus Embossing Folder. Here are a few pictures of the card and there is a link below for the free tutorial with all the measurements. I have also included a video below! 

I embossed a 3" x 5 1/8" piece of the Cherry Cobbler Festive Foils Specialty Paper with the Elegant Eucalyptus Embossing Folder, then sponged some gold ink across the raised area.

The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper piece is 1" x 5 1/8" and is connected to the Cherry Cobbler piece with a strip of Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty Paper. These pieces were adhered to a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock. The card base is an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock folded in half. The gold border is a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of gold foil cut with the largest Stitched Rectangle Framelit die.

This lovely sentiment is from Brightest Glow stamp set and was stamped in Cherry Cobbler. The leaves were punched using the Bough punch. The sentiments and Gold Distressed Specialty paper were both cut with dies from the Stitched Rectangle Framelits dies.

The inside was stamped with stamps from Brightest Glow and Christmas Lights with Cherry Cobbler ink.

This card is basically not made with any supplies that scream Christmas, so with a change of the sentiment, you could have yourself a card for any occasion! I have supplied links to the supplies I used below.
