Punch Art Bunnies using Stampin'Up Punches.

Hey there welcome back,

Today I am going to show you how I made my Bunnies and Chick Punch Art.
I love doing Punch Art you can create cute little characters by just changing the punches you use. Here are some of the Bunnies I have made...



This bunny has an oval body instead of a circle and his arms are also small ovals tucked in behind. He also has a cute little bunny tail using the same punch as the cheeks, the small flower from the Boho Blossoms punch (119858).





This bunny I made to go on a giant paperclip so it had to have a back as well as a front.



 This cute little chap is one of my favourites, however the ornament punch is no longer available from Stampin'Up but you could substitute a circle which would work just as well. If however you have managed to get it then Well done you!
You will find lots of different versions of Punch Art online, especially on Pinterest. But with a little tweaking you can make it you own.

Hope you enjoyed I will be doing another Punch Art post after I have posted my other Easter makes.
Thanks for stopping by, Happy Crafting x

Easter Treats using the Stampin'Up Fry Box Die.

Hey There welcome back to Easter Treats part 2

These treat boxes have been made with Stampin'Ups Fry Box Die (132966)..



 These cute little Bunny Boxes are just right for holding a bag of chocolate eggs. 



 They are so easy to make, the face and ears of the bunny are all made using Stampin'Up punches.



 The eyes are 3/4"(119873) and 1/2" (119869)circle punches, the cheeks 1" (119868)circle punch, the nose is the heart from the Itty Bitty punch pack (133787). The ears have been made using the Extra Large (119859) and Large (119855) Oval Punches.


 I used the beautiful Venetian Crochet Trim (134581)on the cellophane bags (102757). A little piece of Whisper White Bakers Twine (124262) holds the Happy Easter Tag in place. And Voila cute Easter Treats any child or adult would be happy to receive.



 These cute treat boxes have a gorgeous Punchart Bunny on the front of the Fry Box.



Come back tomorrow to find out how to make these cute Punch Art Bunnies.

Easter Treats

Helloooooooo


And a belated HAPPY EASTER to you all, things have been rather hectic here as we have had friends staying for the past week, so no time for crafting......
These little lovelies are what I made for Easter, some I have made before others are new.

The first cutie has been made using the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die (135853) I've had it for some time but not really used it, then whilst perusing Pinterest I saw lots of fantastic ideas for using it and now I can't put it away...lol



This Easter Chick box is made totally using Stampin'Up! Punches and Dies, and with the Curvy Keepsake Die it is soooooo easy. 


 Even the little tag is made using the Word Window Punch (119857)




The wings were made using the Scallop Oval Punch (119856), the feet the Sweetheart Punch (133786) and the beak is the heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (133787).



The tummy is the 1 1/4 Scallop Circle Punch and the eyes are from the Owl Builder Punch and filled with chocolate treats they make the perfect Easter Treat for anyone. Perfect for inexpensive Teacher gifts.

This die is so versatile I can see me using it for all kinds of gifts for any occasion.

Thanks for stopping by, come back tomorrow for some more Easter gifts..

Happy Crafting x

Craft Room Update

Well Hellooooo

I think I am nearly there, although there are still some bits and bobs to do, but here are some photos of how it looks now.......

 I put in several bookcases from Ikea (Billy) they have adjustable shelves so I can make the most of the space and 3 DVD storage shelving units (Gnedby) to hold all of my stamp sets.

 I have two shelving units which fit almost perfectly into the recesses on each side of this wall (not from Ikea) the one on the right holds my scrapbook albums and supplies plus ribbons etc..
 The one on the left holds my Sewing, Knitting, Crocheting, Jewellery and Cross Stitch supplies, plus some other bits  and bobs....
 There are two desks so that I can craft with a friend and one also acts as an office desk...

 The unit in the middle is also Ikea and what I like about is that the desks fit onto the unit and you can also get drawer units to fit in the holes as well as boxes etc.... On the top is another smaller unit which I have used to display some of the things I have made. 

Well I hope you like my little tour and come back soon to see what I have created in my new space.
Thanks for stopping by.....

Craft Room Renovation

Well Helloooo

Its been a bit longer than I had anticipated since my last post but we decided to sort out my craft room and our sitting room/lounge. When we bought the house it had fire places but unfortunately no chimneys so after a lot of ummms and aaarrrs we decided to cover them in and plaster over for a nice smooth wall. Things never seem to go to plan and its taken longer to get it done but we are about half way there......




The plaster is drying out nicely, unfortunately I am going to have to redecorate the whole room instead of just the one wall as you can see from this photo the wallpaper was ruined so had to be removed!!!!!!



My craft desk is under there somewhere!!!!! along with my stash aaarg its so frustrating..... 
  
But the worst part is all the dust, black dust that is getting everywhere, even under the covers its even managing to get into other rooms. 



But I can't wait for it to be finished so I can get back to doing some crafting. Check back for some Stampin'Up craft news...... 

Anyhoo hope you are having a great time crafting see you soon...
