Punch Art Bug

Love this card!!! Punch art is always SOOOO fun ....especially with kids in mind. This bug is created from the extra large oval & the large oval. 1/2" & 3/4" circle punches are the head lights with the modern label for the tires. 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" circles makes up the greeting. Have fun with this one!!! Make up several to have on hand for those special little people in your life!

Music in my Heart

Here's a regal looking card that we will not be doing in class so I'm posting it on here early. I used the new Real Red Core'dinations paper from the new mini catalog. So cool! Red & black always make such a grand contrast on Valentines Day cards. And the plus side of this is that with a change of greeting it can be that special card to your sweetie because it isn't decidedly feminine. Have fun!!!

Seasons Greetings

Ok here's the last Christmas card to post.... Til next year.
I think you could couple any green with Cherry Cobbler & get a phenomenal outcome. It's one of my favorite SU! colors. On this card I chose Garden Green. If you used blues & purples you could have an awesome "winter" card.

Mirrored Tree

Here's a card that uses the age old technique of masking. First punch your window mask from a piece of scrap CS. Place it over your CS that you want your image on. Ink up your tree stamp & stamp off once on scratch paper them stamp on mask piece so that 1/2 or so of the faded tree is in the window. You want to then use a dab/brush motion (with a sponge applied to ink) to create the edge of the mirror. Pull off your mask & stamp tree again ( this time don't stamp off on scratch paper once) placing it a little lower & to the right. Add a greeting & ribbon & you've got a very elegant card!

Warm Winter Wishes

Perfect card to go with the weather we have been having in Central Oregon! This uses the retired ( and MUCH loved set) Frosty, but any snow man will work. Stamped in jet black StazOn then a few splashes of color added with markers.
Using the 3/4" square punch, punch out various colors of blue, stamp them with a snowflake (great way to use your scraps!) and line them up along each side. Add your greeting & you have a sweet card to send to that special friend who maybe isn't having a very good winter. Nothing like a cheery snowman to make you feel better!

January class is literally overflowing!!! If you want to be on the February list I would suggest getting your spot NOW!!! By the time classes are over on the 26th they will be full! Oh! & in January we are making Valentines Day cards!!! Can't wait! See you then!!









Twisted Greeting Card

Usually I don't do this but because of the difficulty in explaining this card I am gonna tell you the best way to figure this card out: go online to twisted greeting card tutorial on utube. Watch the video on there& it'll be MUCH easier than me trying to explain it. Make it with some really cool Stampin Up DSP for any occasion. The pockets can be for gifts cards, pictures or even candy! I used the ornament punch on this one with red glimmer paper.
Have fun!
