NEW PRODUCTS!!! Thinlits flip card dies and envelope punch boards

NEW PODUCTS!!!

The following new products will be available from the 22^nd of October!! YAY!!!

The Stampin’ Up! envelope punch board can be viewed in action at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JzokPixtpko

• It creates totally customisable envelopes in up to 66 different sizes (not to mention a million different colour and pattern options depending on the paper you want to use). Even tried and true envelope sizes will only take you moments to create! 
• It's super easy to use It looks intimidating at first glance, but when they see that all you have to do is measure for the first punch and from there you just turn and score you’ll go crazy (in a good way). 
• It's small and lightweight; this makes it super portable and easy to store. It's small and light enough that you could use it while watching a football match, at a park, at a friend's for craft night-anywhere. 
• It even has a clever scoring tool as well as a punch that lets you create rounded corners on your envelopes. 
• It's easy to keep it all together; the stylus storage compartment and two punches are designed into the tool so you don't have a bunch of little pieces to keep track of (even the instructions are printed right on the tool so you won't lose them!).
• The price is terrific--especially for a tool that does so much!
• It will be in next year's annual catalogue, so it's here to stay.



The Stampin’ Up! Flip Card Thinlits Dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one step!!! But it’s not just one awesome die!!! It also comes with extra die pieces that can not only be used on this flip card but they can be used for all sorts of projects!!!

Owl Punch Rose!!

(yet another thing to add to the wonderful thing the owl punch can be used for)

 

What you will need:

Scissors

Owl punch

1-1/4” circle punch

2-3/8” scallop circle punch

Cardstock (have used real red)

Darker ink (I have used rich razzleberry)

Sponges (for shading)

Bone folder

Tweezers or quilling pen

Step 1:

Cut out all your pieces. To make one rose you will need:

8 x owl punch pieces, 1 x 1-1/4” circle & 1 x 2-3/8” scallop circles.

 

Step 2:

Cut of all of the owl feet smoothly to the shape of the body. This will be seen as the outer part of each petal.

 

Step 3:

Use your sponge with the darker ink to put darker shading around the edges of the owl punch

Step 4:

Snip a straight line (about 1cm, you may need to play around with this depending on how you want the petals to look. The longer the snip the flatter I found the petals looked) using your scissors in between its ears in the middle of its head.

Step 5:

Using your bone folder loosen the fibres of the card stock by rubbing the paper between your thumb and the bone folder a few times (like how you curl ribbons you use for gift wrapping presents) this will start to make the paper curl and make it easier to shape later.

Step 6:

Place a small amount of glue on one side of the owls head (near the ear) and the pull the other ear across and secure with the glue. While holing this to allow time to dry enough to stick, this is the best time to shape your petal. Using the bone folder curl the edge of the petal into the desire shape.

Step 7:

Once all of the petals are shaped, you can then start assembling your rose petals. Put some glue on the -1/4 circle and then start placing petals around in a circle. You will need 5 petals for the first level of petals. I found that squishing the petals all nice and tight and having the ears all over lapping in the centre gave it a nice shape and makes finishing in off easier! But feel free to have a play around with it)

 

Step 8:

Once your first layers of petals are place then you can add the next layer which is made up of 3 petals. I found that putting glue on the petal at this stage was easier than putting it in the middle of the already placed petals as the glue has not set on the first layer of petals yet((unless you’re using a hot glue gun)

Step 9:

Now to make the centre of your rose, get the scallop circle and cut it in a spiral. Don’t make the thickness of the spiral too thick because it makes it hard to let it spring out big enough to fill the centre of the rose). You will also need to sponge the rest of the spiral edges as some of this may be seen slightly.

 

Step 10:

Curl the rose centre by holding the first part of the scalloped edge and twisting it using either tweezers or a quilling pen until it is all curled up tightly. Hold this for a few seconds to get it to keep the shape. To get it to fit nicely in the rose slightly loosen your grip and allow it to spring out to the size you like. You can always tighten it again by holding the first inside petal and twisting it a bit tighter again. Secure by putting a small aount of glue at the end of the spiral

Step 11:

Put some glue on the underside of the rose centre piece and place it in the middle of your rose and allow to dry. Once dry you can have a play with the rest of the petals again to finishing shaping them if required.

 

Hope you have fun!!! share your creations on my facebook page!!! I'd love to see them :)
