Motorbike Birthday Card

Hey there...

Welcome back, today I have a card I made for my Husbands Birthday.... I kinda made this in a bit of a hurry, I didn't forget his Birthday, BUT I did forget to make him a card....ooops. So the night before I had to put this together and then our guests who where staying with us for a week arrived and I had to abandon it...until early next morning I nipped downstairs while everyone was still in bed and finished it....




I used Baked Brown Sugar and Coastal Cabana Card stock, I stamped using Baked Brown Sugar stamp pad and I added some Linen Thread around the middle.



I made a few little errors like the N is the wrong way up....lol. But Hubby didn't notice so hey ho.
I didn't think it was too bad considering I made it in a rush and didn't use a Stamp-a-ma-jig!!!

I wasn't too displeased with the result and Hubby was thrilled.
Hope you liked, Thanks for stopping by....

Punch Art Penguins using Stampin'Up! Punches

Hey there and welcome back,

Today I have some more Punch Art this time its cute little Penguins, I have also made some Penguin gift/treat boxes using the Curvy Keepsake Die.



The first little Penguin is made totally using one punch the Owl Builder punch, and can be used to make much more than just Owls...Here's how....



This next Penguin is a bit larger and uses only Circle and Oval punches...... Here's how.....



The last Penguin also uses circle and oval punches except for the little heart that makes his beak....Here's how.....


And last but not least is the Curvy Keepsake Penguin Box...doesn't he look adorable.....






Well I hope you enjoyed these cute little penguins and have a go yourself, Thanks for stopping by....

Punch Art Duck & Chick

Hey there and welcome back, 

Today I am going to show you how to make the Duck and Chick I used in my Easter Treats using Stampin'Up! Punches...





This little chap has been made the same way as the one above but instead of using the ornament punch (now retired) I used the large oval punch and I have to say he still looks pretty cute. A great thing about Punch Art is that you can substitute different punches and achieve a slightly different look. I also swapped out the medium BoHo Blossoms flower for the large one for his little tuft on his head cos I liked the look.



This little cutie has been made using the Owl Builder Punch, not only does it make great owls but so so much more.
Check back tomorrow for some really cute Penguins.

Thanks for stopping by....

Easter Boxes

Hellooooo and welcome back for more Easter treats....

These cute little boxes use the Scallop Tag Topper (133324) and a few punches lol....




I love how you can change where and how you place the elements and get a totally different look..


I also added some cute little pom pom tails, totally optional, but I just loved how they looked and I'm sure both children and adults alike would love them too..


They are just the right size for a large MaltEaster Bunny...yummy..


And last but not least a quick Easter Treat using the long cellophane bags (124134) and a little bit of Punch Art.

I used the 1 3/4" Scallop circle (119854) and the 1 3/8" circle punch for the base, if you want to know how to make the chick check back tomorrow for another Punch Art post..


Well I hope you liked my Easter Treats, thanks for stopping by...

 It makes such a beautiful gift box.


I love this cute Punch Art duck, I will post the pattern to follow tomorrow..





And its the perfect size to hold a large Easter Egg.....mmmm...mmmmm..
That beautiful flower on the top was made using the Ornament Punch, sadly retired, but if you have it..lucky you....it may be found on the secondary market like ebay!!



Here is a close up of that cute little duck made using Stampin'Up punches.


My second basket also holds a large Easter Egg, plus a few creme eggs....yum yum...
