This stamp has 5 concentric designs, each with a matching punch.  Stamp it five times, punch with different punches, and you have a fabulous focal point for this card.  I used this card to introduce the new 2012-2014 In Colors, so we stamps in Midnight muse on all 5 new colors then used the Dahlia Adornments in the center.  I love the way the Delicate Designs embossing folder repeats the circular patterns.  We stamped Thank You on this card, but it is really open-ended the way you use it.

Yep.  You read that right.  Regular heavy-duty household aluminum, glued to card stock for strength, and run through the Big Shot in an embossing folder.  We did the flip flop by getting fancy with the cutting plates on the Big Shot.  Sounds harder than it really was.  Try it!

I should have named this A Card full of Cherries!  Cherry Cobbler card stock, and an image of cherries from Mouthwatering.  What you can’t see is that the cherries were embossed with cherry scented embossing powder.  I love the way velum looks when embossed.

What a sweet valentine.  The Hearts Collection Framelits make this easy.  Fold the red layer first and leave a bit of the fold inside the Framelit to leave the 2 pieces attached.  I saw a tip to lay Press and Seal plastic wrap over any line.  Lay out your letters upside down on the line.  Then you can turn the plastic wrap over and place the letters exactly where you want them.

Isn’t he cute?  He’s made with “Punch Art”, punches stacked together.  There’s no stamping.  I used glossy paper (no longer available from Stampin’ Up!) which looks especially great run through the Big Shot in an embossing folder.  If you don’t have glossy paper you could use Shimmery White card stock and you really don’t need to use a Big Shot.
