I love to come up with unique ways to use our punches.  When I first saw the new “What’s Up” punch I immediately saw the big arrow as a bird house, so I created this card which also uses the Bird Builder Punch.  The Fun Frames Embossing Folder helps to frame the focal point.  What can you make with the “What’s Up” punch?

 

When I first saw the “Oh My Goodies” stamp set in the Annual Catalog, I knew I wanted to make a “Goodies” container for those on my team that were going to be attending the Stampin’ Up! Convention.  I cut a piece of Lullaby DSP 11-1/4″ x 7″ and attached some banners and the stamped image from Oh My Goodies, and then I slid it into one of our full sized Wood-Mount Stamp Cases.  I filled the treat box with  Snickers, Butter Fingers, Twix, Licorice, Slow Poke Sucker, Mentos Mints, and Hard Candies.  These make a quick and special little package for giving a simple gift. 



 

I made up a bunch of these cards and mailed them to my team members who were top in sales, recruiting and promotions in the past month.  Way to go team!  Once again I used the Designer Series Paper for my color combinations.  Gold Soiree was the winner this time, with the soft and delicate shades of Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral and Pistachio Pudding.  I colored the tiniest of our Pearls with the lightest shade of Calypso Coral Blendabilities.  Love it!
