Stampin'UP! actually does a great job coordinating product. The thing that first brought me to Stampin'UP! was all the color coordinated product, its really important to me to have all my colored product match: inks, paper, buttons, ribbon . . .  See how the ribbon below  is a perfect match for the paper color

5 Things You Can Make With a Heart Punch

Do you own a heart punch?  This time of year most people might be thinking about how to use it for Valentines Day projects.  But if you're like me, you also like to get as much use out of your tools as possible. So, here are 5 non-valentine ways to use your heart punch.

 

Bride and Groom Wedding Card

 

Butterfly Card

 

Mickey Mouse 

(his mittens are upside down hearts with one side trimmed down to make the thumb)

 

Little Girl Mouse

    her dress is two upside down hearts overlapped

and her feet and hands are smaller hearts

 

Bird Card - each bird is half a heart 

and the wings are half of a smaller heart

The current Stampin'UP! catalog has a variety of heart punches to choose from. If you're looking to get a basic heart punch my recommendation would be the Sweetheart Punch. Side to side its 1 3/4" across. I'd also recommend the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. The 3 small punches in that pack (heart, star and flower) are can be used on a wide variety of projects, and can really dress up a project.  The Sweetheart Punch and Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack should would be excellent basic supplies in every crafter's tool box. In fact that little flower punch in that pack is one of my favorites.

Sweetheart Punch [133786] $16.00

Hearts Border Punch [133784] $16.00

Confetti Hearts Border Punch [137415] $22.00

Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack [133787] $17.00

These 5 projects are just the short list of non-valentine ways to use a heart punch. I'm a big fan of punch art - and a heart punch is one of the basic shapes everyone should have if you like playing with shapes.

Wreath with a Leaf Frond

The stamps on this card are from the October Paper Pumpkin Kit: Blissful Bouquet. I'd posted this card a few days ago when I showed a whole bunch of alternate ideas for using the Blissful Bouquet stamps.  

Since then I've received several questions about how I made the wreath so I thought I'd explain here. The key is that photopolymer stamps are somewhat flexible. So even though the leaf frond is more or less straight, due to the flexibility of the photopolymer you can add even more of a curve when you mount it on the block.

 

The other trick is to use a guide for the circle. I punched a circle and laid it on my project. Then I stamped a single row of fronds around the circle. When I removed the circle it was easy to stamp around the wreath several more layers so the wreath is nice and full.

Here's a close up of the flowers. I guess with flowers that that'd make this a spring wreath, even though its fall here in Wisconsin. While you're looking at the close up, notice the cute little flowers. The small punch  used on the flowers is such a pretty shape, its one of my favorites . . .  from Stampin'UP!'s Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack (see supply list below)
