Punch Art Wedding Dress

I had so much fun making my other punch art dress card, I just had to switch it up a little and make a wedding dress!
I used the Established Elegance stamp set to stamp the dress form in Soft Suede ink. I used the Heart to Heart Punch, Blossom Petals Punch and Lace Ribbon Border Punch to make the dress.

How to make this card:
First cut a strip of Whisper White card stock and put it through the Lace Ribbon Border Punch. Use the large petal on the Blossom Petals Punch and punch out one in the lace and another of regular white card stock. Do the same with the medium heart. Then just use the Two-way Glue Pen to stick them on top of each other. For the background I just cut strips with the Lace Ribbon Border Punch and glued them to the front of my card in rows.


I used the Labels Collection Framelits from the Occasions Mini for the center shape and some Pearls to accent my dress.

I love these little dresses with this stamp set! SO cute!

Heart Fingerprint Valentine Card

Here is my Heart Fingerprint Valentine Card! This was so easy to make and so cute with the fingerprints. You can't really tell in the photo, but you can really make out the fingerprints on the card. We are going to do this card at my card class tonight!
To make this, simply cut out the smallest heart from the metal die Hearts Collection. Then use the outside paper (not the cut out heart) to put two fingerprints in. This will make the point on the end and keep them in the heart shape. I used my pointer finger and that seemed to work best.

Tasteful Trim Paper Roses Mini Tutorial - FREE!

Here is my Tasteful Trim Paper Roses Mini Tutorial! I saw a picture of flowers somewhere a long time ago made this way, and bought this die to make them. I never got around to it then, and when I sat down to do it, I couldn't find the other picture! So, I have come up with my own way to do this. I'm not sure if it is the same way as in the photo I saw a long time ago, but if it was you who came up with this idea, let me know and I will link you!
These are so simple to make using the Tasteful Trim die! You can get the FREE tutorial below!
I did not have floral tape for the stems, but I think that would make them look better and make it easier to keep the leaves on.

Owl Punch Pear Card

Here is my Owl Punch Pear card! It was really simple to do but I will break down what I used.
I used the Owl Punch with Wild Wasabi card stock to make the shape for the pear. I cut off the feet and the ears. For the inner one (Very Vanilla), I just cut the feet and ears off and then cut a little bit off around the edges of the shape to make it smaller. The center white is the 1/2" Circle cut in half and the seeds are Chocolate Chip using the Cupcake Punch, its the flame from the candle! The stems are using the bird punch. Just cut a branch in Chocolate Chip and other in Wasabi, cut the leaves off and glue the Wasabi ones on. Then just cut the top leaf in the shape of a stem. The words are using the Billboard strip with the Big Shot. (I love these alphabet strip dies, they come in so handy all the time!)
My husband was not a fan on my wording for this, and thought it should say, "What a Pear!" or something like that. But of course he mentioned this after I had glued them on! Usually I ask his opinion before I glue it together... oh well!
I thought this would make a cute anniversary or wedding card.

I used the the Scallop Trim Border and Corner Punches for the fancy rectangle the pears are on. Then I just used the Simply Scored to emboss the line going around it. You can get the dimensions for using the Scallop Trim Border and Corner Punches HERE to make them line up perfectly.

Swing-Out Fold Square Card

Here is the card flat...

And here it is with the front swung out!

Here is my Swing-Out Fold Card that I came up with. It lays flat to mail but then the small front square swings out to stand it up for displaying! This is just like the other ones, only it is 4-1/4" square. This is a better size to make with a class because you can get two card bases out of a 8-1/2" x 11" sheet. I used the En Francais background stamp and the Ain't Love Grand hostess set to make this card.

You can see the directions to make the fold for this card HERE and/or HERE. The only difference is you start with a 4-1/4" x 10-1/4" sheet of paper. You are still going to score the card at 3", 4-1/2", and 6". Then you are going to cut 3" from the bottom over to that 6" score line. That will give you the 3" square on the left and the 4-1/4" square on the right.
If you are sick of these Swing-Out Fold cards, this is the last one for a while! I just had so much fun with them I couldn't help it!

Punch Art Mini Calla Lilies

Sorry for my lack of posting lately, I have been working full time for our Downhill for Diabetes ski and snowboard event that is next month!

My mom came to visit last week and brought her new Blossom Petals punch from the Occasions Mini Catalog! I love this punch and I can't wait to get mine! You have already seen my large punched Calla Lilies that I made with this punch and here are mini ones using the same technique!
I used the Easter Blossoms stamp set for the sentiment with the Large Oval punch and Scallop Oval Punch.

You can see how I made the larger calla lilies HERE shown below. The only difference with these smaller ones, are that I used the two smaller sized punched pieces on the same punch!

Punch Art Calla Lilies

Sorry for my lack of posting lately, I have been working full time for our Downhill for Diabetes ski and snowboard event that is next month!
My mom came to visit and brought her new Blossom Petals punch from the Occasions Mini Catalog! I love this punch and I can't wait to get mine! Here are my punch art Calla Lilies that I made with it!
I used the Easter Blossoms stamp set for the sentiment with the Large Oval punch, Modern Label punch and Decorative Label punch.

Here is how I made them:
I punched the petals out of Whisper White card stock using the Blossoms Petal punch. These are the two largest sized petals.


I trimmed the scallops off the top of the largest petal and sponged them all with Sahara Sand ink.


I cut the stamen freehand out of Daffodil Delight card stock. I put this on with a dimensional and then one of the petals over it. I put a dimensional under the middle of the top petal and glued the pointed tip down with Tombow adhesive so it wouldn't pop up.


I did the same thing with the top petal.


I then sponged the bottom of the flower with Wild Wasabi ink and cut the stem freehand out of Wild Wasabi paper. The leaves are punched out and sponged. Your calla lily is finished!
