Add some "Punch" to your cards!

Here we made great use of Stampin' Up!'s double sided paper (DSP) and the "Large Oval", "Scalloped Oval" and "5-Petal Flower" punches to make this fresh, Spring-y card!
We also dry embossed the flower petals to give them dimension and pop off the page.

Bride/Groom Specialty paper

This "Bride", "Groom", and "Bridesmaid" line of Specialty papers are often overlooked as the catalogue doesn't do them justice. They truly do have to be seen in person to see just how elegant and classy they really are!
We used the Sizzix Bigz die, "Lattice" to make this simple but elegant card, using papers from both the "Bride" (white) and "Groom" (black) paper packs.


Here is a closeup to show the detail in the paper. Isn't it gorgeous?!

Dust off that paper crimper!

Remember that fancy-dancy paper crimper you have tucked away in your crafting supplies? It's time to dig it out!
This card looks like it's difficult to make, but it's actually quite easy. Just fold the corners of your paper in, feed the whole thing (still folded) into your paper crimper, and then ink the folds.
Finish it off with the stamp of your choice (we used the bird from "Spring Song"), add a nice bow, and you're done!
