I hear it all the time, “why isn’t there a punch or die for this image?”. We’ve gotten lazy as paper crafters, haven’t we? But today I’ve great news for you!
The Half Full stamp set, featured on page 42 of the Holiday Catalog, is loaded with fun greetings and images. Among them is a tag. When I first saw the tag all I could think of was “why isn’t there a punch or die for this image?”. ((smiles)) With a little experimenting I found that the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch fits this tag perfectly! I don’t know why the tag wasn’t wasn’t listed in the catalog as being a coordinating product, but it is such a great tip that I didn’t want to miss sharing it with you.
Today’s quick tip video will show you how the punch works perfectly with this image – but don’t stop there! This punch is perfect for any tag. The scalloped top makes it elegant enough for your handmade cards yet simple enough for your holiday gift tags. And if you’re wondering about the sneak peek picture below, it’s coming! It will be featured in an upcoming video in the next few weeks.

I found your blog on YouTube, and the first video I watched was posted on April 14, 2014-Dynamic Duos-the bunny in the flower pot. I CASED it for my Easter cards in April of 2015! Everyone loved it!
Thanks, Lisa, for 3-1/2 years of inspiration!

Congrats on 19 years with SU! 19 years ago we lived in Hopkins, MN which is the next city from where we live now even though we lived 25 miles away for 15 years. I was working at a small family owned computer company in the next city to where we lived. We were able to go home at lunch we were so close. I was just starting to get back into paper crafting 19 years ago after about a 15 year hiatus. I went to a Creative Memories party before we got married and the rest is history-hook, line and sinker for me, totally addicted to stamping more than scrapbooking. I originally found your blog searching on Google or Split Coast for card ideas to CASE like I am always doing! So glad that I found you! Love your work, thanks for sharing your talents with us!

I started scrapbooking many years ago, before it was “cool.” I was gluing keepsakes into scrapbooks way back when I was in grade school, then jumped into crafting all kinds of projects. When I started on a long trek of surgical repairs on my ankles, I began the “artful” way of scrapbooking and cardmaking as I was able to complete them while I was bedridden. And I’ve been enjoying the art ever since. I happened upon your blog when I was admiring others’ artwork and knew yours was one that I was going to enjoy for a long time to come.
I found your blog from using Paper Pumpkin. I loved how the projects that Boo made and loved watching both of you, especially when you laugh together.
I’m a scrapbooker who’s learned to love card making and paper crafting. Enjoy your videos and style. Thanks for your time to share with us.

Congratulations on 19 years! WOW! What an accomplishment!!!
I live at the beach at the Jersey shore… and I love being near the water… but lately it’s been scary with all these natural hurricanes and stuff! I do not work as I am disabled. I have been disabled since 2009 but prior to that, I was an auditor for a large cardiology office. 🙂
Yes I was crafting 19 years ago! My crafting endeavors started literally when I was a teenager! I have always had a love for paper! I lived across the street from an actual paper factory that would manufacture and cut down paper (mainly cardstock) of all colors and sizes. I used to stand outside their open warehouse door several times a week after school just to listen to the machines and sneaking peeks at the papers. To my surprise, the owner had been catching me standing there a lot of the times without me knowing it and one day approached me and asked me why I would stand there and just watch? I replied, “I love paper”… so he told me to hang tight and he’ll be right back. He came back with a medium sized box full of all different paper sizes and colors and told me, “It’s yours kid”… but you have to come back and show me what you make with it!” And I sure did!! I made all sorts of cards and envelopes with it and at that time, I was probably about 13 or 14. Ever since then, it’s been addiction lol. And I actually found your blog through a google search. I typed in Stampin’ Up and your blog came up! So glad it did!! I love your blog and videos!! Keep up the hard work Lisa!
Hugs,
Jo in Jersey!
Congratulations.
I was living in Tequesta, Fl. was working as a secretary for a roofing company. No, I was not into paper crafting. Found the blog when I joined stampin up and from Charlene.
19 Years ago I was living in Ventura, CA working part time as a receptionist while attending college (architecture major at the time). I’ve always been a paper crafter but I hadn’t been introduced to SU yet. I found the link to your blog on Lydia Fiedler’s FB page.
First of all – Congratulations on 19 years with SU!
19 years ago:
We were full-time RVers from CO…..made our home where ever the weather was good! Have given up the 5th wheel & truck for a townhome in MN to be near family.
We were both retired & living “off the grid” in a log home in the mountains of CO.
I have always been a crafter but mainly thru sewing. Also cross stitch. Found the great enjoyment of paper crafting & SU at a class at a RV Park in AZ about 17 years ago.
I think I was “surfing” Split Coast Stampers & found a card of yours that I really liked & found your blog & have been checking it daily since! You have great ideas & very helpful tips & techniques. Thank you!
