Million & One

Another swap I received last month.  This card was made by Debi Pippin.  She used the 2-3/8" circle for the head & 1-1/2" circles for the ears.  The stamp set is called "Million & One"  (wood - #126375; clear - #126377) located on page 63 of the annual catalog.

Owl Punch Art

One of my fellow demonstrator friends received this card for a swap.  I thought it was adorable and took a picture of it.  I'm sorry I don't know who made it. I would love to give her credit.

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.
