I thought you would appreciate having these measurements to create beautiful edges on your squares and rectanges!
Scallop Border Punch & Corner
Squares:
4 ¾" Makes a square that has 10 scallops along each side.
4 ¼" Makes a square that has 9 scallops along each side.
3 13/16" makes a square that has 8 scallops along each side. *This is the size that fits perfectly into the guide that is printed on the Scallop Trim Border Punch and therefore makes a great size to practice on. Once you get this size down, it will be easier to branch-off and make your squares larger or smaller.
3 ¼" makes a square that has 7 scallops along each side.
2 7/8" makes a square that has 6 scallops on each side.
2 3/8" makes a square that has 5 scallops on each side.
1 15/16" uses only the corner punch for 4 scallops along each side.
Rectangles:
2 7/8" x 1 15/16"; 3 ¼" x 2 3/8"; 3 13/16" x 2 7/8"; 4 ¼" x 3 ¼"; 4 ¾" x 3 13/16"
4 ¼"x2 7/8"; 4 ¾"x3 ¼"
Pinking Hearts Border Punch & Corner
Squares:
2 7/8"; 3 ¼"; 3 5/8"; 4"; 4 3/8"; 4 ¾ "
Rectangles:
3 5/8"x2 7/8"; 4x3 ¼"; 4 3/8"x3 5/8"
I figure if I blame this cute little guy for my absence it's easier to forgive and forget. LOL I have been wanting to share this scrapbook page with you for a couple of weeks now, but am just getting it posted. All of the circles have been embossed with Stampin' Up!'s Glassy Glaze Enamel. The card stock colors used are Brocade Blue, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Orchid Opulence, and Pumpkin Pie. Get out those In Colors and use them while they are hot!
You can get project ideas anywhere! Let me show you. I got this thank you card from a friend some time ago, and I thought it was really cute. I have hung onto it thinking that I would like to try to replicate it in some way. So here is what I came up with....
Now go find some inspiration in something that you have in your own home right now!
You can join the PUNCH CLUB and learn how to make adorable and innovative punch art animals, charaters and more while building your punch collection.
For the next four months (March - June), I will feature 2 punches per month. We will create 2 cards (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") each with different punch art and 2 recipe pages inside the card showing the pieces you need to create the punch art so that you can refer to it again and again each time you want to recreate the image.
If you plan to participate in the punch club by joining me in my stamping room monthly, you pay only $38 per month. If you plan to participate in the punch club by mail, you pay just $45 per month. This cost includes the 2 featured punches of the month (including shipping and tax), all card stock and other embellishments needed for the projects, recipe cards, and postage where applicable.
Participation deadline is February 28, 2010. So join the fun, and join the punch club today by e-mailing me at jj@getyourstampsout.com or calling me at 309-341-0716 or 309-335-2516 !
I had someone ask about the card I posted yesterday, so I figured I may as well post the answer here in case anyone else was wondering the same thing...
Where did the heart layer behind the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit heart come from? It is the Heart from the Stampin' Up! Punch Windows Magnetic Movers & Shapers Big Shot die (115953). You need an extra cutting pad for this technique, but this is how you build your "sandwich" to cut the heart out by itself.
Another tip that I learned from Marty is that if your Heart of Hearts sticks in the embosslit at all, put a piece of waxed paper under the card stock when you run it through. The waxed paper is so thin that it doesn't interfere with the cutting, and your die cut doesn't get stuck!
Check back soon to see projects from my latest workshops and upcoming classes!
This is a great last-minute Valentine idea. Just get your honey his favorite candy bar and give it a new look. Of course you can go with traditional Valentine theme of hearts in red, but you can also put a more masculine look on it if you'd rather. This giant Symphany chocolate bar is covered in Whisper White cardstock with a layer of Sweat Pea DSP. The bird is one of Stampin' Up!'s new Two-step punches featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Use item number 117191 to order the Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch while it is available in the mini catalog.
This is a chip board purse. Isn't the cutest! If I do say so myself. ;) This is one of the projects that we made at a meeting last month. I have been dying to share it with you, but didn't have a photo ready until now. It is made with the Sweat Pea Designer Series Paper Stack. I love these butterflies!! There is another design like this only in pinks included in the stack as well. Here are some other details on the stack....It coordinates with the following Stampin' Up! colors: Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Taken with Teal, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink and Rose Red. The stack includes 48 sheets of 12" x 12" DSP with 2 each of 24 double-sided designs. You can really have a ton of fun with this! Call me (309-341-0716 or309-335-2615) to order your stack today, or order online at http://juliajackson.stampinup.net.
We decided to make Valentine bags to serve as the girls' Valentine "box" to take to school. This was soooo much easier and quicker than covering a shoe box or some other kind of box! And the girls had a blast decorating. We were done in about 20 minutes. Love that. Here are the Valentine's that will pass out to their classmates.
These are Stampin' Up!'s Love Bots Valentine boxes from the Occasions Mini Catalog. They were so easy too. Write your names, fold the box, stick in the candy and seal. Ta-da!
