New Stampin Up Punch Design

 

Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches!

• A few features of the new punch style:

• Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing

• Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport

• Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored

• Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large

• New punches

• allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.

• Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog

• Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners

• larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color. Part of Stampin' Up!'s commitment to providing demonstrators and customers with the very best crafting tools includes the belief in what we call continuous improvement. Essentially what this means is that even if something works very well, but we see a chance to improve it, we will work to make it even better. While new punch designs will be in the new body style, existing designs will remain in the existing body style for now. We will communicate any further changes as those decisions are made.

How to Make an Accordion-folded Flower

Here are some great directions I found on the Stampin Up website for how to make accorian folded flowers.   Directions: 1) Cut card stock or Designer Series paper to 12" x 3/4". 2) Score strip every 1/4" the entire length of the card stock and accordion fold the score lines. 3) Adhere ends of card stock together (Sticky Strip works well). Let dry. 4) Holding the card stock with two hands, twist one edge of the strip into the center as shown to create a flower shape. 5) Adhere a punched circle to the flower center on one or both sides (Pop-Up Glue Dots work well) to hold shape in place. Tip: Experiment with different sizes and score intervals to create the desired shape of your flower. Share your comments on this with me!
