I've recently begun a new chapter in my crafting journey as a Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator! I've been excitedly creating projects with a bunch of new products from my starting order....and I knew right from the first look through the catalogue that I NEEDED this cow punch so I could TWIST it for other uses! How stinkin' cute is this giraffe card? I can't wait to try this punch with other uses soon! Happy crafting, Trina ❤

I wanted to find a use for my Letter board leftovers after using the outer wood grain frame...so here I turned it into a fence behind my Pixie piggy  I used the stitched circle & heart thin cut dies fro my piggy, hand drew features with LePen, and stamped the sentiment from the Face Palm stampset onto a Basic oval thin cut. I used the foam dots to add dimension to my layers.  

Today I thought I would share this simple cute Zebra Thin cuts card. I used the Wild backgrounds stamp from the last catalogue for my zebra stripes.  This is a fun way to get some mileage out of those awesome Basic thin cuts.  

Just thought I would share another potential Valentines card ...for guitar lovers. I used the Letter board stamp set for the frame, background & sentiment. I ran the circle dies only partway through my Big Shot (one at a time) then reversed the direction so they wouldn't cut out completely...then I finished the guitar body off with my micro tip scissors. My guitar is raised up on foam dots. I drew in the strings and music notes using LePen. (Champagne is a retired colour now, but you could replace with Almond)  

As soon as my six year old daughter saw the shape of a Paper Pal base die cut, she said it looked like a Mermaid tail...so i had to bring her idea to life!! I used the sunglasses for her bikini top. Cut a red set and split it to extend the long hair. Hand drew the face because I wanted it to look a bit more like Ariel  I loved this sentiment from Face Palm stamp set to match!
