A Bunny Case

On one of my endless blog surfing escapades, I came across the most adorable little bunny that another demonstrator, Gretchen Barron, posted on her blog with a card. I used the same idea, turned mine lengthwise and attached to a gift bag filled with candy for an Easter treat. The entire bunny is made from punches and the Top Note die with the Big Shot.
All of the edges of the white pieces are sponged with Rose Red ink and a sponge dauber. The whites of the eyes were made with a white gel pen.

Supplies:

Stamps: None!

Ink: Rose Red, Black marker

Paper: Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Rose Red, Basic Black

Accessories: Black gingham ribbon, gel pen, Big Shot, Top Note die, circle and oval punches, Heart to Heart punch, jumbo eyelets, Crop-A-Dile

Punched Flower

As I have said before, I am really enjoying my punches and the different images that can be made from them. This big flower simply uses the 5-Petal punch and is then paper pieced together. The little flower on top with the brad is the middle flower from the Boho Blossoms punch. It looks like putting the whole flower together would be really involved and time consuming, but it went rather quick and effortlessly. Only the first layer of the 5-Petal punch image is whole. The remaining flowers were sponged with Night of Navy and a sponge dauber and then the petals were snipped. Just a dot of Tombo Multipurpose Glue was placed on the inside corner of each petal before I slid it under and attached. I used a total of 8 flowers, including the whole one on top. A smaller flower with only 3 layers (using just 4 flower punches) looks very pretty and elegant ~ but was just too small for this card. You can see a tutorial and another beautiful example of this by Stacey King on her blog here.

Supplies:

Stamps: Sincere Salutations

Cardstock: Urban Garden DSP, Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy

Ink: Night of Navy

Accessories: 5-Petal flower punch, Boho Blossoms punch

Happy Valentine's Day!

Lately I have really enjoyed playing with my punches and creating new images. Of course, I can't take complete credit for this one. My 9 y/o daughter saw two hearts sitting on the desk and said, "Ooh, that looks like a butterfly!" Hmmm... It sure does, doesn't it? I have since seen a couple more cards with the same idea, so I guess great minds think alike!
This card definitely fell more into the "simple" category.

Supplies:

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly

Cardstock: Candy Lane DSP, Chocolate Chip, Ridinghood Red, Pink Pirouette

Ink: Chocolate Chip (ink pad and marker)

Accessories: Heart to Heart punch, Photo Corners punch, Horizontal Slot punch, brads, vanilla grosgrain ribbon
