Stampin’ Up! Exciting Times & Rectangle Punch Designs

6 Aug

Hey friends, are you ready for a punch party? I’m sharing several card designs today that you can create with any of the basic shape punches in your collection. I’m using the Stampin’ Up! Rounded Rectangle punch, but you can use these ideas with other shapes as well. Let’s take a look at them.

Stampin’ Up! Exciting Times Bundle

This is such a nice stamp and punch bundle. The punch makes it so very quick and easy to create neat card designs.

Let’s take a look at a few of these design ideas

Punch Card Design Ideas

For the first card, I punched several pieces and used them as a simple background.

I created the second card by punching through three areas of the designer paper, and then popping those pieces up for added dimension.

Click to see four simple card designs that can be created with any of the paper punches in your card making collection! Samples feature the Stampin Up Exciting Times bundle.

For this card, I shared a neat technique for creating longer strips and punching the ends with the punch. I like the simple background that this creates.

This last card is my favorite! I absolutely love the stamp mat that can be used with this punch for a nice outline. You can fill in the inside with any greeting or decorative stamp that you like. I used the Flowering Meadow stamp set to create those cute flowers.

Which card is your favorite? Will you try this technique soon? Comment and let me know at the bottom!

    Well I’m going to confess, I haven’t ventured into the punches yet! So I need to see a video on why I need a punch rather than just die cut? It looks so fun to just punch but I have very limited space and don’t want to get hooked on them. Am I really missing out by not getting punches? I do see a benefit in lining it up after stamping, I also see Benefit in it not having the impression lines from the die cut plates. What other benefits are there? Do you have Video on that?
