Only Ovals Card
Filed Under Cards, Punches | Leave a Comment

The Only Ovals stamp set is one of my favorites because it has a coordinating oval punch. The punch makes this card quick to make and the two earth tones are perfect for the fall. The finished size is a 4" x 4" notecard that still fits in a standard envelope. Read more

Jumbo Paper Clip Bookmarks
Filed Under 3-D Items, Punches | 2 Comments
These decorated jumbo paper clips make great bookmarks. Punches such as the circle and scallop circle are a huge timesaver when making these bookmarks. You can find the jumbo paper clips in the office supply aisle at Wal-Mart. I like to use my scraps and bits of ribbon to make these bookmarks. You can personalize them by using a monogram or by using someone’s favorite color (hence the tempting turquoise with the soccer ball). The bookmarks are made with 2 pieces of the largest size (i.e., 2 scallop circles) and a pop-up glue dot smashed in the middle holding everything together.

Spider Treats
Filed Under Halloween, Punches | Leave a Comment

Isn’t this the cutest treat you have seen for Halloween? All I used are various punches (scallop circle, 1/2" circle. 1/4" circle, and photo corners) and cardstock scraps (basic black, pumpkin pie, perfect plum, and green galore). In between the 2 black scallop circles are mint patties. Super cute and easy! Thanks to Julie Case for sharing the idea. Let me know what you think.

Batty for You Gift Bag
Filed Under 3-D Items, Halloween, Patterns, Punches | Leave a Comment

This Batty for You Gift Bag is made from a full sheet of Ghostly Greetings Designer Series Paper. I enjoy origami and this bag is made with a few easy folds. There is no cutting required. Please email me at stampinsharon@cox.net if you would like the pattern. I finished off the bag with Basic Black cardstock cut to 2" x 6" and the Batty for You image punched out with a 1-1/4" punch and mounted on a 1-3/4" punch. The bag is filled with Halloween candy. Super cute and easy!

Heard from the Heart
Filed Under Cards, Punches | Leave a Comment

This card again highlights the new In Colors Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red along with the Designer Series Paper Bella Rose. I added a 5 Petal Punch, a small flower from the Pretties kit, and an In Color button for the flower embellishment. The sentiment is from the set Heard from the Heart and the Scallop Edge Punch and white gel pen were used to add more details.
