This card was created using the Truly Grateful stamp set & Sweater Weather designer paper in the Holiday Catalog. I colored the hay bail with Stampin Write markers, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler. The background was the Crushed Curry coredinations card stock through the wood grain folder, than sanded for the "weathered" effect.

NEW! Envelope Punch Board & Video
Stampin Up!'s new Envelope Punch Board - #133774
Why go with boring, white, normal-sized envelopes when you can use colorful paper to create everything from itty bitty to long and skinny? Our creativity-boosting Envelope Punch Board makes it easy to customize envelopes in up to 66 different sizes!
- It creates totally customizable envelopes in up to 66 different sizes (not to mention a million different color 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; check out the video - all you have to do is measure for the first punch and from there you just turn and score they'll go crazy (in a good way).
- It's small and lightweight; it's super portable and easy to store. It's small and light enough that you could use it while watching a soccer match, at a park, at a friend's for craft night-anywhere.
- It even has a slick 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 catalog, so it's here to stay.

CARD: Cool Pop ‘n Cuts Gift Card Holder
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?

VIDEO: Simply Sketched Double Impressions WOW
After lots of practice, and coaching (from you guys) I've finally learned how to say "papillon"! Wahooo! Be sure to check out my latest Bloopers for a few laughs at how badly I've been botching this word. No matter how you say it, this card is gorgeous! A swap from Leonie Shroder (all the way from Australia!). You'll love this "double impressions" technique for fabulous texture.
I originally created this for stamp club last month, and although I don't often post my club projects publicly, I wanted to share this one to give you a taste of what we do. If you are one who likes written directions, and enjoy free stamps, and exclusive projects, you'll want to check it out (click here).
Leonie used the Gifts of Kindness stamp set for the words on hers, in the video I used a greeting that came with the Simply sketched hostess set.

NEWS: So close you can taste it – $1 Million Update
CARD:
Today's card is from my downline, Charlene Luks, at least I'm pretty sure it was Charlene's. This was a gorgeous swap from our demonstrator meeting last week, only her name wasn't on the back to confirm and in the swapping excitement, I forgot whose was whose. I'm guessing, but let this be a lesson, always put your name on your swaps so you can get proper credit hahaha!
Charlene used the Modern Medley DSP the square and postage stamp punches and the Needlepoint embossing golder. Simple, yet very effective.
CARD: Flip flop birthday card
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!
UPDATE: Million Dollar Baby!
I'm on the edge of shaking this cloud of bad fortune for good...and letting the sun shine through with another exciting moment. I'm about to hit a HUGE milestone in my Stampin' Up career. So close I can taste it, but I need your help to get there. I'm "inches" away from hitting ONE MILLION DOLLARS in personal sales!!!!!!
In Stampin' Up!'s 25 year history, only 3 legendary people have ever hit this milestone. My 10 year anniversary is September 11, and I'm dreaming of becoming the 4th person in SU History to hit this mark on or before my 10 year anniversary.
I can't thank you all enough for all of your support over the past 10 years, even if you purchased the smallest of orders from me...you were a part of making this happen. Stay tuned.

VIDEO: Halloween Banner Kit from the Holiday Catalog
Need something spooky to spice up your Halloween décor?
Stampin' Up! is here to help you spook the halls. Check out our adorable new Build a Banner Simply Created Kit and the Halloween Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit! You can design your own like we did in the Holiday catalog or follow the simple instructions to make the one you see here!
You'll need the Build a Banner Simply Created Kit #133507 which comes with eighteen blank canvas paper pennants, six each of three designs, nine feet of jute twine to assemble the banner, pattern stencils, a full alphabet of stencils and a color spritzer. If you find that you need additional pennants for other projects you have in mind, be sure to check out our refill kit.
The Halloween Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit #132698 comes with some really fun exclusive Stampin' Up! accessories. There are pre-scored rosettes, some beautiful ribbon -- including Pumpkin Pie seam binding. And we just love the super cute, exclusive, black vintage faceted buttons.
To get started, we'd like to share with you a couple of tips to help you be successful.
TIPS AND INSTRUCTIONS
- First, you may want to put a little bit of adhesive on the back of your stencil so that it's easier to keep it in place. For this particular project, we have chosen to sponge the patterns and letters using a dauber, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Starfruit, and Basic Black ink.
- To make the rosette take the pre-cut and scored strips and fold them back and forth, attach the ends together, and now you can push the center down onto some hot glue to hold it in place.
- Now all of the other kit accessories can be added, we'll string the banner together with the jute, and add bits of ribbon for the finishing touch.
We love how cute it is and how simple it was to assemble! Have fun making your Halloween even spookier with this simply amazing banner kit!
