Goodie Bags for a Cowgirl Birthday

These goodie bags were created by one of my downline, Carla Neville.

Carla's daughter is in 4H, and is "horse crazy" as my Mom used to say.  So Carla went to work and created this punch image horse  and scene for bags for her daughter's birthday.  Aren't they adorable?

Carla does not have a blog, but she does have a facebook page ....  Carla's Creative Cards.  I have very talented downline ladies, each one is special to me.  We have a small group - Craft Room Stampers - and we are always looking for new members.  Want to join us?  Contact me and we can talk!

Baby Girl In A Buggy punch art card

We have a new member in our family . . . .

Our niece and her hubby recently had a baby girl.  We have not been able to meet her yet, but they will be moving closer in the spring.  Then I can get some baby girl cuddles in!!!

This is the card I sent along with the Diaper Cake our Daughter-In-Law made to give to baby Alice.  I love doing punch art, and rarely give them away.  But this one just needed to be sent.  Because I was not doing a class on it, I was able to use some retired Stampin' Up! products.

  Stamps:  Matchbox Messages (R), Teddy & Train (R)
  Ink:  Pretty In Pink (R), Regal Rose (R)
  Paper:  Basic Black, Whisper White, Pretty In Pink (R), Basic Gray, Going Gray (R), Bashful Blue (R), Pawsitively Prints DSP (R)

Our DIL is making these awesome Diaper Cakes.  We sent one of the Baby Shoe ones, in pink of course.

 

She also makes these ones ....

Harry Potter Owl Punch Art Card

This month I brought back my Monthly Punchie Class with this cute Harry Potter Owl .....

Our daughter-in-law sent me a picture from Pinterest of this card and asked if I could create it for her.  Our grandson had a Harry Potter birthday party to go to.  So of course I did, then I forgot to write down who the originator was.  Then I went back into Pinterest and .....  well you know how it is.  So much to see, so little time to see it!  If this is yours, please email me so I can give you credit, and thank you!

  Stamps: Gifts Of Kindness

  Ink:  StazOn, Real Red

Angry Birds Punch Art Card

While I was away this year waiting in airports I became addicted to Angry Birds on my cell phone.  I had to stop myself when we got home, however, boy can time fly when you are playing that game.

Here is a card I made using all of the Angry Birds images.  I did see a similar card on the internet somewhere, but I made this so long ago I can't remember.

And here is the inside of the card that uses the other two images ....

I just love making punch images and these were super fun to do.  Now that I know what Angry Birds is all about, I understand the images!

The Graduate Owl Punchie Image

A perfect card for that awesome Graduate in your life!!!

This was such a fun card to make.  The background is the now retired Wonderfully Worn background stamp, and I inked it in VersaMark, then used the Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder. I love sparkles.  I hand cut the tree trunk and branch, and the sentiment was computer generated.

Paper:  Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight, Always Artichoke
Other:  Irridescent Ice EP, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Little Leaves Die, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Graduation Owl Punchie

Puppy Punch Image

A very cute Happy Puppy made out of pieces from Stampin' Up! punches.

One of my favourite classes each month is the Punchie Class.  I've been offering them for over 3 years now and we have not created the same on twice!  Today I have a Happy Puppy for you made mostly out of heart shaped punches.

   Body - Full Heart punch

   Ears - Full Heart punch, then you use the small oval (R) to punch out the middle

   Muzzle - Heart to Heart punch

   Head - 1" Circle punch

   Tongue and Tail - Slot punch (R)

   Nose - Heart to Heart punch

   Eyes - 1/4" Circle and Double Circle (R) punches

I used Marina Mist, Whisper White, Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler cardstock to create him.  Wouldn't he be cute as a she using Pretty In Pink cardstock?  Why don't you give it a try and email me with your picture.  I would love to share it on my blog!

Turtle Punch Image and Free Tutorial

What is more cuter (ha love that grammer!) than a cute little turtle? This punch image is quick and easy to do.

And here is a picture of the How To page for Tessa the Turtle:

To make the grass that Tessa is swimming through I used the Inspired By Nature stamp (now retired but still in my arsenal).  Then I punched some Soft Suede cardstock with the Horizontal Slot punch (which is also retired but still loved by me) and adhered them to the grass to look like bull rushes.
Card Supplies I used:
   Stamps:  Inspired By Nature (R), Loads of Love (R)
   Ink:  Gumball Green #126861, StazOn Black #101406
   Paper:  Whisper White #100730, So Saffron #105118, Pool Party #122924, Wild Wasabi #108641, Soft Suede #115318
   Other:  Modern Label Punch #119849, Word Window Punch #119857, Horizontal Slot Punch (R)

One of my passions is doing punch images.  I do create a few, a very few, but most of them are captured online somewhere.  Each month we have a Punchie Class where we do 2 images with a 6x6 How To page and one complete card.  It is one of my favourite classes.
