Try It Thursday - Stampin' Up Mixed Bunch Just For You Card

Good Morning Everyone! Today's Try It Thursday is a case from the wonderful Patty Bennett. Of course, I made a few changes to get the look that I wanted. The Stampin' Up Framelit Label Dies and the Stampin Mixed Bunch Stamp Set were incorporated as well as the Stampin' Up Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper which you can earn for FREE! Notice the how the Framelit Die gives a different effect when you cut just the top of a piece of card stock. I then added ribbon, a beautiful embossed butterfly, and coordinating sentiment. I think this card would make anyone smile! Now it's your turn!

Pool Party Card Stock: 5 1/4" x 4" (Use the largest Framelit Label Die to cut just the top of the card stock.)

Tuesday Tool - Stampin' Up Crimper

Good Morning Everyone! The Stampin' Up Tuesday Tool is the Crimper. I'm sure each of us have probably used the Crimper at one time or another to alter an element for a card or other papercraft project. However, have you ever thought of other uses for this tool?

Give one of these "out of the box ideas" a try:

• Use the crimper on the four sides of the cardstock to create a frame for the stamped images.
• Crimp part of the Bigz Top Note die cut as one of the layers.
• Use the crimper to make realistic looking leaves - fold the cardstock in half along the vein of the leaf and then crimp at an angle. When you open the leaf, there will be symetic crimps that meet in the middle.
• Make faux suede by using it several times in all directions to peel the cardstock apart.
• Crimp the die cut leaves #2 before sponging them. Crimping gives the leaves a 3-D look.
• Use the crimper on long rectangle strips to make french fries. Add the "fries" to a french fry box for an embellishment on a scrapbook page or card.
• Crimp the ends of containers such as sour cream and pixie stick holders to help seal the ends.
