Today's super cool project featuring the Pop n' Cuts card base as a gift card holder is from guest blogger, Liz Miller:

Do you like to discover other alternatives for the products that you already have? If you answered yes, then I have a treat for you. I love the Pop ‘n Cuts Card Base die, but I always used it with the Dress Form Pop ‘n Cuts. So I just removed the Dress Form insert and figured out how to fold the card stock to create this stinkin’ cute gift card holder. Now who wouldn’t want to receive this awesome little treat?

It's another great week for new downloads-pocket cards, a retro school kit, a free desktop wallpaper, a traveling gift tag, and four downloads from traditional products. Be sure to check them out and make sure your customers get in on the fun too. (PDF)

Here's a cool card using the new Labels Framelits dies from Liz Miller of Stampin' with Liz.

They’ve been called flip cards, flip flop cards, swing cards, and more-but they have always been a bit tricky to create. Not anymore! Stampin’ Up!’s amazing new Thinlits Card Dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one super easy step! Lets put our hands up in the air and shoot ~ WOOHOO!!!!

Here is my creation for an upcoming birthday, I kept it very simple to highlight the colors and just wanting to keep the focus on the swing action! ~ Liz Miller

Sorry I forgot to take a photo of it before I wrote inside of it! Silly me!

How stinkin' cute is this party invite for a little girl's birthday? "Come to my Party" Ballerina from the Stylin' Girl stamp set. It's even more adorable in person, where is sparkles and shines. The dancing image is colored with the Dazzling Details silver glitter pen and pink pirouette (pun intended) stampin write marker. Created by Sandy Barrera.

This is a fabulous WOW card using the Simply Sketched Hostess stamp set in the 2013-14 Stampin Up Catalog, and the Million & One stamp set for the words. "Fabulous is what you are" - Love, love, love!!

The flowers were colored with blushing bride & Pink pirouette ink pad refills, along with the strawberry slush and old olive stampin write markers. Created by Rose Ann Marr

It's my opinion that no matter what you make with the Chalk Talk stamp set and framelits, you just can't go wrong. Everything comes out beautiful. Here's another stunning example. I love Cantaloupe Crisp and Espresso combination, especially with the core'dinations card stock sanded. Very vintage and striking. The punched out circles from the Itty Bitty punch pack add a unique form of interest to the card. Created by Debbie Rowe.

Today's card is simply beautiful. I love the creative use for "Off the Grid" stamp set background, the words are from the "A Dozen Thoughts" set. The flowers are what really stand out, they are a mix from the Itty Bitty shapes punch pack and the Floral Fusion sizzlet. They are layered on the Little Leaves sizzlit and the edges are colored using an aqua painter and ink pad. Created by Debbie Ware.

Who says race cars are "boys toys" only? Girls can have some racing fun too! I love it! A hot pink sports car...wahooo! Featuring Strawberry slush and Bermuda Bay, a very pretty combination. It's ok to call a sports car card pretty right? lol. This card was created by Anjanette Potter.

Here's another fun card using the Perfect Blend stamp set, or as I call it, the Starbucks stamp set. The coffee/tea "to go" cups and so cute. In yesterday's video I featured this stamp set in a stinkin' cute gift card. This card also uses the Core'dinations card stock and sanding system for it's cool background. Created by Stacey Reddies.

This stinkin' cool project comes from Stampin Up concept artist Christina N. I love it!! The haunted house image in the Best of Halloween is one of my all time favorite images!

Every year at Halloween I love to give all of my nieces and nephews a treat, and it’s always wrapped up especially for them. Since the August “Best of” stamp set is “Best of Halloween,” it’s the perfect opportunity for me to get started early this year. You can read more about our “Best of” stamp sets here

I love that there are three main images, a border, and a greeting in the stamp set. Since the main images are about the same size, it was easy to come up with a design that worked for all of them.

I used the new Decorative Window Gift Boxes since they are small and all of my nieces and nephews are still very little. I didn’t think they needed much more candy than these hold!
