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

Okay…it’s pretty lame but what can I say…BRAIN HURT!  But what is as easy as can be is subscribing to Create to Connie and Mary April Mini Edition!  It’s not too late!

Lift Me Up

ccmc447Happy Thursday!  WOW…it’s March!  I just love March…it means winter is almost over and that is sooooo good!

We have a fun sketch inspiration for you this week on Create with Connie and Mary and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.

I haven’t used my Lift It Up set for a little while and this was the perfect time to pull it out again and ink up some of the other balloons.  I took my color inspiration from the SAB Carried Away DSP.

Here’s the details…

  • Peek-a-b00 Peach – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Multicolor Balloon dsp – 1 1/2 x 5 1/2, add to card front
  • Silver glimmer – 1/8 x 5 1/2, add to Balloon dsp
  • Whisper White – 2 7/8 x 3 5/8, stamp greeting using Basic Black and Watermelon Wonder, layer onto Watermelon Wonder – 3 x 3 3/4 and add to card front using dimensionals
  • Stamp both the medium and small hot air balloons using Memento Black and color using Watermelon Wonder, Peek-a-boo Peach and Mint Macaron markers, cut out with matching framelits and add using dimensionals
  • Cut out some of the clouds from the cloud print in Carried Away dsp and add using dimensionals

The Create with Connie and Mary March Mini Session will be opening March 11th!  Our mini sessions include the instructions for 14 projects with full step-by-step tutorials:
