Punch Flowers

BOY - AM I having fun making 'punch art flowers' this past couple of days!!!  It's now a new passion of mine!
I can't wait to finish a few pages more of my new, dedicated to FLOWERS MINI-ALBUM!!!

And I can post a few pics. So c'mon back!



RETIRING COLOURS/PRODUCTS RUNNING OUT....ON BACK-ORDER WHERE POSSIBLE! 
NEXT - ladies - if you are at all interested in owning some of our retiring colours - in what-ever form, such as cardstock, or ink, crayons, ribbon, ....well, you get it.....HURRY ON and ORDER!!!   It turns out that the anticipated level of ordering was under-estimated, or crafters just panicked and decided to grab while they can, and Stampin' Up! is overwhelmed with orders - on certain colours!  So, the solution is a tiny bit complicated....they do want to honour orders until the end of the current catty, but they do not want to re-invest in a new production of product.  SO - substitutions for the more expensive textured cardstock will take place where regular cardstock has run out. (good for the consumer!).....and BACK-ORDERS - are, well, on back-order.  SO it remains to be seen, how many of us will have our fav retiring products by the end of it all.

Just sayin'...so you know!

GONE ALREADY - NO MORE! The cute lil felt flowers, the paper of the Sweet Pea line and the On Board Heart (chipboard book)- is all gone.

And I am trying to balance this with all the new stuff I want from the NEW OCCASIONS MINI-CATALOGUE - sheesh! Such problems!!!! LOL!

Gothic Birthday Card

 Have a friend who appreciates the gothic sensibilities? Then dig into your creative spirit and look at the norm through a wonderful, rich and dark prism!  I chose a designer paper with a fab colour set. Next why do butterflies when a moth will be better?  Here Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects die set does the trick. To make it a tad interesting I placed a pocket inside and crafted a ATC which doubled as a coffee gift card holder. A second large tag holds my message. Well crafters, explore your options and enjoy!

Funky Insects Tim Holtz - first projects

  Funky Insects Thinlits Dies (not including bee die shown upper left ) Tim Holtz's Funky Insects are a hoot to play with. I am just playing to discover the million-gazillion ways to colour each bug and not concerned with how to design projects featuring them yet. Here's a tall slimline card, an A2 card and an ATC that l've created so far. To get inspired, you only have to look at the amazing designers that contribute to Tim's Chapter releases such as this year's Chapter 2 release.  To be honest, l was not bothered cutting so many parts for the different insects as l thought l might be....time flew by as l cut batches of the body 'base' and then spent most of my time inking, embossing, painting, etc the wings and body sections. There lies the fun!

Easter "Scallop Circle" Chick Card

Isn't this the cutest!  The second I laid eyes on the card which inspired me - I was OMG !  So I had to do one! IT'S A  EASY - QUICK 5 MIN. PROJECT!  GREAT KIDS PROJECT!  We made ours  after having breakfast  and  in no time flat! Technique: You can see from the pictures that you must fold your cardstock at the 5-1/2 mark, and CUT the Scallop Circle LEAVING A SMALL PART OF THE FOLD OVERHANGING THE CIRCLE OUTLINE - that is how you make a card - and not 2 Scallop Circles. A small scallop punch is cut into wedges - those make up the wings. Punch your other parts, fold the square on the diagonal for its beak, then glue everything on. We highlighted the eyes and beak - voila! Basic Supplies:  CARDSTOCK: 11x8 in. yellow, 1 in square orange scrap, black scrap; BIG SHOT XL BIGZ DIE: Scallop Circle; HAND PUNCHES:  flower, scallop circle (any size), small circle punch; Other:  1" square orange cardstock, white gel pen, glue.
