Punch Art Fish

Here are two different cards that used punches to make the fish. 
I punched 2 circles using the 1-1/4" Circle for the body of the fish.  I re-punched a tip off one of the circles and glued it to the top of the other circle to make it look like a mouth.  I used the heart punch for the fins, and 3/8" Circle Punch for the eyes.
This card was made by Karen Duke.  She used the ornament punch for the body, Blossom Petals Punch for the fins, 1/2" & 1/4" Circle Punches (eyes), and of course the small heart punch.

Punch Art - Ice Cream Sundae

Have you heard the saying - "You scream, I scream, We all scream for ice cream".  This month I decided to have my stamp club make their own ice cream using our card stock and punches. 



Paper:  Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, Brights DSP, Red Glimmer Paper
Ink:  Pretty in Pink, Crumb Cake (sponged around the ice cream scoops)
Other:  2-1/2" Circle Punch (cut in half and put thru the paper crimper), 1-3/8" Circle Punch (cut in half for the base of the bowl), 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch (ice cream scoops - white, pretty in pink, chocolate chip),  Cupcake Builder Punch (cherry), Top Note Die, Big Shot

I found a perfect saying to put on the inside of this card - "Happy Birthday with a cherry on top" from the "A Word for You" stamp set.

Please let me know if you'd like to order any of the above punches to make this adorable card.

Chickens Anyone?

I first found this punch art chicken on Pinterest on a blog that wasn't written in English.  I sat down and figured out what punches she used.  A few days later I found this card on Kelly Acheson's blog.   I liked that she used the Cupcake Builder for the wings.  I was trying to use the scallop circle.  Thanks Kelly!
