Slanted flowers

 

Love this fun design!  The card is cut at a slant and I added flowers all along the inside and front top edges.

 

Colors on the top one - cantaloupe, cherry, white, coral

Colors on the bottom card - wisteria, razzleberry DSP, white

 

I decorated the bottoms of each differently.

 

To make the flowers - Secret garden framelits, boho blossoms punch (scrunched up) and bird punch.

Layered Lattice Punch Art

I was playing with my lattice die and the windows framelit collection to make this layered "punch art" card.  There are 6 layers of the lattice (white behind tips, green in between window framelits, wisteria rounded with tips cut off, green, white flower, purple center)

I used two layers of window framelits - razzleberry patterned paper and olive patterned paper.

I cut the dotted scallop ribbon punch in half for the edges.

Added a few rhinestones for some shine.

The white "flower" is popped up with a stampin' dimensional.

 

I kept it blank - will be useful for many different purposes.

Punch Art - lollipop flower

 

Two simple punch art cards.  The lollipop is made using a circle punch with a sparkly brad in the center.  The card base is Pacific Point and the edgelit embossed layer is raspberry ripple.

 

This flower is made using oval punch, circle punch and bird punch.  I scored around the edges.  The colors are Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso (and green).  Finished with mini brads and twine.

2 butterfly cards

 

I got some crafting time today so here is what I made.  Punch art trees with butterflies.  There is a close up view below.

 

This is called a telescoping card.  It swings open on the brads to reveal layers underneath.  This first picture is the "closed" view.

 

This is all 3 layers.  And a close up.  I used the secret garden framelits and layered 4 flowers with some sponged tips.

 

Here's a close up of the punch art trees.

Snowman with ornament

 

I made this snowman from 3 circles, a tiny piece from the inside of the triple blossom punch (for the nose) and the bird punch for the arms.  I also used a small piece of ribbon for the scarf.  I even cut the ends of it (which you can't see in the picture).  I popped up each of the circles with a dimensional.

 

I also used Top Note die, ornament punch (saying from Word Play), white twine, photo corner punch, patterned paper and embossing.  I drew in the eyes and mouth of the snowman with markers.

 

This is for the challenge at The Paper Players and also the Splitcoast challenge to make a snowman.

 

Christmas Candle - again

 

I just love the Christmas candle punch art!  I use the bird punch and the modern label punch and some sponging to create the candle.  This time I used an embossing folder behind to create the "glow".

 

This card is made for 3 challenges.

The layout at Splitcoast.

The colors from Hand Stamped Sentiments - early espresso, old olive, more mustard, elegant eggplant.

Also for 'ABC' Challenges - tic tac toe - green cardstock, twine and leaves.

Chickadee - boho poinsettia

 

This card is for the layout at Sketch Frenzy Friday.

I colored the image with gray ink, except the chickadee in black so it would stand out!

I used a circle die and apothecary accent framelit die.

 

I made the poinsettia from just the boho blossoms punch - middle sided flower.  I cut slits in the red one and then cut some more red ones in half with slits to layer behind the first one.  For the petals I just cut slits in the green one to the very middle so there would be separate pieces.  I added some pearls in the center.

My first "Angry Birds" card

I have been admiring the angry birds cards I've seen out there.  I finally decided to try to make my own.  I decided to start with the "pig" as I thought it would be easier.  All I used were circle punches and then I drew with black marker.  I tried to copy what the pig looks like on the game as closely as I could.

Both my husband and my dad love angry birds and their Father's Day presents are angry birds t-shirts, so when I was thinking of which Father's Day card to give them, I knew this would be the perfect choice.

I think I'll be trying to make more of these to sell.  Maybe I'll try some of the other characters.

3 Punched Cards

This card uses the bird punch, paper daisies and boho blossoms punch, little leaves die, edgelits and the cupcake punch to sponge the clouds.  This is the card we'll be making at my group meeting this afternoon.

The layout comes from Stamping 411.

For this card I wanted to show the cupcake punch used in a different way.  I made a layered ice cream cone - yummy! 

This card uses the layout from Freshly Made Sketches.

This card shows one of my favorite ways to use the bird punch!  To make a candle!

It also uses the modern label punch. 

I used this week's layout at Splitcoast.

New In Colors - Punch Art

I made this card using all 5 of the new In Colors. 
I made some punch art flowers.  This card will be for my next group meeting.
The layout is from Techno Stamper.

Candle

This layout comes from Techno Stamper.

I wanted to show off punches.  This one uses the bird punch and the modern label punch.

I also used 2 ribbons behind the sentiment.

Hot Air Balloon -punch art

I made this card for two challenges...

The Splitcoast Color Challenge was to use the retiring In Colors (Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizazz, Concord Crush).  I chose to use all 5.  I cut diagonal strips for the background piece and embossed with dots.

The balloon is made using a circle which I embossed with scallops and the basket is the cupcake punch.  I used twine and popped up the circle with dimensionals.

I added some clouds in the background and a bit of dotted scallop border under the sentiment.  The sentiment is from "Sweet Cake".

The layout is from Stamping 411.

Triple Blossom Bouquet - Watermelon

I made this card with a bunch of punches!
I found some colors - this cheerful color combo from Stampin' Royalty - Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler
I modified a layout from Clean & Simple - Fall-to-Layout 176.

I wanted to show the versatility of the blossom bouquet triple layer punch. I used it for the border and also for the watermelon seeds. I used two sizes of ovals also for the watermelon piece. I popped the watermelon up on dimensionals.

The patterned paper is the pack you can get for Sale-a-Bration! The sentiment is from a retired SU! set "Lots of Thoughts"

Strawberry punch art

Punch art using heart punch, bird punch, boho blossoms punch.
The sentiment (Sweet Cake) and strawberry are popped up with dimensionals.

Combined Challenge Creativity

I combined 4 challenges today. All the ideas just came together and I invented this fun wreath and bow all on my own!



I started by punching pieces of always artichoke cardstock with my boho blossoms and my blossom bouquet triple layer punch. I embossed the pieces and glued them on a circle to make a wreath shape. I added some buttons (TLC354 - button art!)
For the ribbon and twine I wrapped the twine in about 4 loops, then looped one piece of the ribbon around it and glued it together. (CAS147 - ways to use twine!)
Also notice how I used the sentiment! I only inked the "Merry" with artichoke, then I cleaned the stamp and inked the "Christmas" with cherry and used the stamp-a-ma-jig to place it. This makes stamps a lot more versatile when you can use parts of the stamp or reposition parts of the stamp!



The layout is from Sketch Frenzy Friday - SFF120211.
The colors are from Pals Paper Arts - PPA122 - cherry cobbler, always artichoke, very vanilla.

Set 3 - Punch Art Penguins

This is the 3rd set of cards we'll be making next Saturday at the class!



This penguin is made of punched and die cut pieces. I gathered other people's penguin ideas and then created this one.





This penguin is also made of punched pieces.
I ripped some snowy hills in the background and also sponged some clouds.



The class is Saturday, January 22nd at my house from 10-3. Please bring your own lunch. You must pre-register! The class is almost full!
