NEW! BLOOMIN' BOUQUET PROJECT KIT

   Springtime is for blooms and blossoms and pretty things--so our new Bloomin' Bouquet project kit is arriving just in time! Create a beautiful bouquet of flowers for someone special: a friend, a teacher, or your mom. All you need is adhesive!     Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.

   As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little "thank you" to-and introduce them to Stampin' Up!  This kit is only available while supplies last.

I love punches and I know most of you do too.  Not only is it an easy way to cut out an image or verse, but you can make so many images just using different punches.  Our two cards today feature punched art.  The first one is from Carrie Ray and showcases 4 of our favorite Sesame Street characters.

Carrie used the following punches to create these adorable images:  1-3/4" Scallop Circle (heads), 1" Circle & Word Window (mouths), Owl Builder Punch (all eyes, cookie, Elmo's nose) and the Modern Label Punch for the words.  Too cute!!

The next card is from Bridgette Caples and features some Angry Birds punch art.  Kudos to Bridgette for putting all those pieces together for our swaps!  Awesome!

Bridgette used the following punches for this card:  Cupcake Builder Punch (clouds, white dots, smaller eyes and eyebrows), Boho Blossoms (red bird tail and feathers), 1-1/4" Circle (red bird body), 1" Circle (larger green character), 3/4" Circle (smaller green character), Word Window punch (wood frame and "happy birthday"), 1/2" Circle (larger nose), 1/4" standard punch (smaller nose & green ears), retired slot punch (hair), Scallop Edge Border Punch (grass), Modern Label Punch (under word layer).
