Case the Catalog with the Stampin' Up! Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch

Casing the Catalog with the Postage Stamp Punch

I really like the card featuring the Posted for You bundle on page 81 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I thought it would be a fun card for a class, too, so I could show how to change sizes with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. But I usually make a few changes when I case a card, and this time I changed everything but the layout! (btw, CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything)

Card using Stampin' Up! Rooted in Nature with Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch

For starters, I used the Rooted in Nature stamp set. I love the Postage Stamp Punch and you can use it with so much more than its companion stamp set. I also wanted to do an autumn card for my September class.

Since I haven’t used Terracotta Tile much this fall, I started with that color, then picked the images and colors. You’ll notice I used the triple-leaf image twice. I used the Bumblebee marker to color and stamp two leaves for one postage stamp, then I stamped the full image for another postage stamp.

The other colors are Bermuda Bay, Cinnamon Cider and Pretty Peacock. All the images are stamped on Very Vanilla, and the card base is the Very Vanilla Thick cardstock.

Card made with Posted For You bundle from Stampin' Up in Bumblebee

A Classic Design Using Posted for You

The Posted for You Bundle is another one of my Annual Catalog favorites. For some reason I have always been drawn to postal images and shapes. Maybe they’re just fun to create with… I don’t know.

This card, however, is not screaming creativity! Instead its a classic design: three in a row. This one is always a good layout for smaller images. And you can mix it up with staggered images or diagonal images. It doesn’t have to be three items in a single row. (see my butterfly card) Although, my card is not just three images in a single row, but the same image repeated three times! Not exactly groundbreaking but I think its a really nice card that any one could make or copy.
