Happy Saturday Crafters! Today's tip is about SU! Designer Label Punch, which comes in the Designer Label Punch Box with 6 stamps, and 3 Stampin' Spots. I am sure many of you have used the punch, and many of you have seen or have tried this, but those of you who haven't... here it is. 
I love using half of he punched out design as an embellishment, just like this. 
I simply cut the label in half, insert 2 brads, and use it anywhere on the card. Well, I try to line it up with the edge of the cardstock. It almost looks like a hinge. 
I used it on both of these cards.
I just needed something extra on these cards, had to fill some empty space...
On the left card I used Like It a Latte (Winter Mini) stamp set, Close to Cocoa, Barely Banana, and Rose Red paper/ink. Plus I used Rose Red ribbon that I colored, and lots of brads. The letter U came from Rough Edges Alphabets.
For the other card, I used Happy Harmony (Sell-A-Bration) and Weathered BG stamps, Chocolate Chip, Buckaroo Blue and Regal Rose paper. Also used gold cord and gold brads. The other punch I used is Ticket Corner. Everything is from SU! except the brads.
..these Stamping sites!
