Punch Art Kitty

This little guy didn't make it into my Cute Critters Punch Art Class. I ended up using a different version so the kitty would tie in with the rest of the critter cards.The body is made from the retired Heart to Heart punch. I'm going to miss that one. The head is the extra large oval and for the ears I used the five petal flower. The tail is double punched with the Heart to Heart punch as well. For the bow I used the Owl Builder and the flowers are all from Boho Blossoms

Easter Cards

I thought I'd try making a shaped card for this little bunny. He's one of the critters from my Cute Critters Punch Art Class. I used the largest heart framelit to make the card base and the second largest heart to cut my DSP. Once I put the bow on I found I also liked the card on its own so I've posted both versions

Beer Mug

I needed a masculine birthday card. I know I have lots of them made but I can never seem to find one when I need it. Time to reorganize my samples. Here's one I had in my stash. I used vellum and the crimper to make the mug and the oval punch for the centre of the handle but I don't remember what other supplies I used. The sentiment was from the Cheers to You stamp set.

Petal Cone Bouquet

I had about 50 petal cones left over from the icecream cone swaps I made for convention so I used the new blossom punch to add some flowers and make them into bouquets. The stamp set is Mixed Bunch. I stamped and punched out 3 flowers and attached them to the top of a Whisper White triangle insert I cut to fit inside the cone. The leaves are punched out with the Build a Blossom punch and sponged around the outside. The insert is showing a little in this photo but when its slid into place the bottom of the flowers hang over the edge of the cone.

I used the 1/2" circle punch to punch out Daffodil card stock for the flower centres and sponged the edges with Artichoke Ink.

Stitched Stocking Skates

I have a few figure skaters to make cards for this year. This is one of the cards from my Stocking Punch Art Class.

Feathered Friends Pet Ornament

My Stitched Stocking Online Class included a couple of punch art ornaments for our four legged friends. Here's one for the bird lovers out there. I used the Language of Friendship and Tags til Christmas stamp sets. The berries were made by stamping the largest flower from the Language of Friendship stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and punching it out with the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack then sponging around the edges with Cherry Cobbler. I coated them with Crystal Effects after I had them glued into place.

These are the cat and dog ornaments from my Stitched Stocking Class

Stinky Socks

Did you ever make a card that had you laughing the whole time you were working on it? This was one of those cards. I already had the snickers but when I went to look for a sentiment I pulled out Teeny Tiny Wishes and the first two sentiments I read were "thank you" and "for your shower". At that point I lost it. I laughed so hard DD came to check why her disturbed mother was laughing hysterically all alone in her stamp room. Good thing she has my sense of humor.

Not sure I can find a recipient who would appreciate this card so I think I’ll just keep it around for laughs and make a less offensive version for the Stocking Punch Class I’m working on.

I'm Back...

...and unpacked. Well sort of but who needs clothes and dishes when you have stamps. Thanks for being so patient. I’m still not completely organized but here’s one of the cards from the Stitched Stocking class I’ve been working on. I had lots of time to sketch out ideas over the last couple of months so it’s great to finally try some of them.

This card is made using the polka-dot stocking from the Stitched Stockings Stamp Set (say that fast 3x) and the new stocking punch.  The colors are Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Pumpkin and Daffodil.
