Beverly's Stamping Beehive

"Look who's ... 9"  doesn't only have to be for 9-yr old birthdays -  - how about someone's 9th year on the job? And look at our cutie-pie owl  - its so much fun designing "outfits" using our 2 Step Punch. 2-Step Punches refer to the fact that the punch creates several 'parts' in one click of the punch.  So this means you can choose the paper for each of those parts - so this adorable owl comes with 'her' pink dress and pink accents, or it could of been blue clothing  if I chose to - or how about even a 'red' owl itself?    For this celebration card, I paired my owl with several stamp set components - the balloons are from " Blowing Kisses " - a very sweet stamp set.  And ' On a Pedestal ' provided, well, the pedestal, lol!   Finally, I turned to another stamp set for birthdays - this time, its " Look Who's Turning..

I promised to show my fun with punch art flowers!  HERE THEY ARE!  well,so far:) It started not long ago with punch art roses, like this one using one of Stampin' Up!'s Ornament Punch . Rose Flower This fueled my curiousity!  So last few days, I have been punching away like crazy !   The amount of inspiration in punch art flowers is h u g e ! So many of lovely ideas!  HEART PUNCHE FLOWERS Here's my first one with the Full Heart Punch ....you can just do 4 to 5 larger hearts attached to a small circle center.  But I decided to add a layer behind them, using half-hearts (pictured in blue), which I ran through my crimper.    You do not have to stamp the heart but I have a co-ordinating heart stamp, so I did. Now here is another,however, this is using our Heart to Heart Punch ! This punch has 3 sizes of hearts in the one punch - so I used all three, let me show you... This is the 'tall, ...
