Modern Label Punch Repunched Tutorial

Yesterday I shared this card with you .....

Up on the top right hand corner I have a sentiment punched with the Modern Label punch, but it is much smaller than the original punched shape.  I call it "Repunching".  Today I have a tutorial for you on how to do this with your punch ....

Here are the supplies you will need ... the Modern Label Punch, Ink, Sentiment Stamp, Cardstock

 Stamp your image ....

 Punch it out with the Modern Label Punch ...

Take a scrap of cardstock (I am using the piece I just punched the sentiment out from) and put a bit of adhesive tape on the end.  This will make an "extender" to use ...

 Stick the corner of your sentiment to the adhesive tape ...

 Put it back into the punch from the outside of the punch as shown and punch your image ...

 Turn the piece around and adhere the end you just repunched to the extender ...

 Put it back into the punch and repunch again ...

 There you go, a repunched sentiment that has the same shape as the original one, just shorter ...

 Here is a comparison of the original size, and the repunched size ...

I am all about using the punches for much more than they were originally intended.  I hate having tools in my craft room that have just one purpose.  You can make this any length you want depending on how long your sentiment is.  I chose to layer it onto the Large Oval punch.
Hope you give it a try.  Happy Stampin' .....

Cupcake Happy Birthday Card

I saw this card at a recent get together at Barb Tripp's home where a bunch of us demos got together to prepare for the Vancouver Regional Seminar.  I asked Barb if I could case the card and she was graceful enough to allow me to.  Barb does not have a blog (yet!) so I can't send you that way, but she is a very talented papercrafter.  She is the one I also cased THIS card from.
This card uses the new Create A Cupcake set and Build A Cupcake Punch by Stampin' Up!  I fought cupcakes for a couple of years now, saying they were not my "style".  Ha!  Now I have the set and the punch and absolutely LOVE them both.  Check yesterday's post where I made my newest batch of Thank You cards using the set and punch.
Here is my card ........

Barb's original card used Cherry Cobbler and Love Letters DSP.  I used Mellon Mambo and the SAB designer paper Ice Cream Parlor.  I added a couple of Basic Rhinestones, because you know me, Bling is Better!
