Stampin’ Up Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch

Hello Everyone ~ Would you like to see a fun way to use the Stampin’ Up Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch?

Have you ever had an idea in your mind and when you set about creating it the finished project was not what you had in your mind?  Today’s card is one of those instances.

I saw an idea on the internet and wanted to try it but I had to put my spin on it.  Today’s card is the result of that idea.  The original card used the Stitched Triangles but I wanted to try something else.  I decided to try and recreate the idea using the Stampin’ Up Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.

The Stampin’ Up Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch is a great addition to your craft supplies.  It can be used to add small images to your card.  There are several small images that fit inside the punch.  Look at your stamps and find some you can use.

This punch is also a great size for sentiments.  The 1″ x 1 1/2″ opening allows you to use some of the larger sentiments and have them easily fit inside.  I have also used the punch for smaller images by reinserting the paper into the punch and using it to make a small punched shape.

See how I used the punch as a fun element on the Stampin’ Up Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch card.  Here is the video for today’s card.
