Punch Art

Do you have a style of challenge that just makes your brain HURT!  Well…that would be this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Design Team Saturday Blog Hop.  Our theme is Punch Art and there are two things I am NOT good at Watercoloring and Punch Art.  Of these two I DREAD Punch Art.  Add to this my stress of packing up my house and moving an all I can say…don’t expect much!

So here’s the details…

  • So Saffron – 4 1/4 x 11, folded
  • Soft Sky – 4 x 5 1/4, stamp clouds using Memento Black, add to card front
  • Pear Pizzazz – 1 1/8 x 4, use fringe scissors to make ‘grass’ and add to card front
  • So Saffron print (Cupcakes & Carousels dsp) – cut large heart (Layering Hearts framelits), fold in half
  • Real Red – one petal from the Pansy punch add to top
  • Peek-a-boo Peach – cut out one point of the Medium Star punch, add to inside of heart as beak
  • Crumb Cake – cut out two ‘balloon strings’ to use as chick legs
  • Basic Black – 1/4″ hole punch, add for eye
  • Bermuda Bay – cut out smaller hear (Layering Heart framelits) for wing
  • Peek-a-boo Peach – stamp dotted balloon, banner and greeting using Memento Black, cut out
  • Basic Black – cut out balloon ‘string’, add to card front, add balloon and banner using dimensionals

Balloon Adventures

ccmc442Happy Thursday everyone!  You all know that since it is Thursday it is time for another challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a fun color challenge – Pacific Point, Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry.

That is a fun color combo from the Party Animal dsp and I just HAD to use the cool diagonal print for my card!

Okay…I have to admit…this is REALLY different for me…I’m not use to this much going on with one of my card!  LOL!!!

Here’s the details…

  • Emerald Envy – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Diagonal Stripe  – 3 3/4 x 5 1/8 add to card front
  • Whisper White THICK AND Basic Black – cut out the balloon pop out panel..layer the white on top of the black off setting it some so that it creates the shadow; add to card front using dimensionals
  • Crushed Curry, Emerald Envy, Pacific Point – cut out dotted balloon, add to balloon panel with the Crushed Curry one added using dimensionals
  • Pacific Point – cut out little bow and add to panel
  • Crushed Curry – stamp banner and greeting using Memento Black, cut out and add using dimensionals
  • Add some Basic Rhinestones to finish off

I think this would be a really card for a kid!  Don’t forget to check out the great designs from our design team – Create with Connie and Mary.
