Saturday Punch Art Projects

Today was a busy day. Lots to do, but still not too busy to squeeze in some stamping and crafting with Andrea and Stephen.  No set plan is the best kind of stamping.  I made a couple of birthday cards.  Andrea has been surfing Pinterest and found a couple of a cards that she wanted to try to replicate.  With great results I might add.

The first card was a little tricky. Quick thinking, Andrea used her own flip flop to create a pattern and then cut the pattern down to size to fit a standard 5 1/2  x 4 1/4 card front. Using some scrap DSP, she cut out two flip flops (one in reverse learned the hard way), laced up some ribbon and set it on a stage of pretend sand. Let’s head to the beach!  (And check out the quality of that photo staging!)

The second card was a real treat! Three circles using the scallop circle punch for the ice cream scoops, a half oval for the dish and a half circle for the bottom of the dish. Looks good enough to eat, right?

Check back soon and I will post pictures for this months’ stamp club. The initial plan is to use the new Sheltering Tree Stamp Set introduced in the Occasions Catalog and a project using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.

Stamp on!

St. Louis Cards and Stamping Definitely Go Together

Wow, I can't believe it has been more than 2 months since the last time I posted!! Sorry for the delay.  It has been really busy, but 2 months?  Anyway...

****
This month’s club card is a tribute to my favorite baseball team – St. Louis Cardinals.  Go Cards!!

Converted this regular, but really cute bird from Stampin’ Up! bird builder punch, into my favorite red bird.  I think you will see that I snipped a piece from a second punch of the wing in Real Red Card Stock for the tuft of feathers on his head, and a couple of separate punches of the tail feathers for fluffier tail.

The fence is made from strips of Whisper White Card Stock.  I ran it through the Big Shot using the wood grain embossing folder to give it that real wood, whitewash look.

The birdhouse on top of the fence post is made from a small, rectangle piece of Whisper White Card Stock, with scraps leftover from the fence for the roof and the door is the new itty bitty heart punch.


Looks good.

Stamp On!  Sandy
