Fun Punches!

These great cards are from my Punch Card Class, and were so much fun to make!
Contact me for a kit of the punched cards from this class if you could not attend.  You get 6 cards in the set for $10, plus shipping cost if you live far.  Card stock is cut and scored, I did the punching and Big Shot work from the class, you just need to stamp and put together.  Contact me at tam_morton@earthlink.net to order.



Pansy Watercolor Card
I have seen lots of variations on this card, and what fun!  Here are the supplies I used and how I made those fun pansies.  The great thing about the Shimmery White card stock is the sparkle you get when you are done.  It may not show up that well here, but I love how it looks when the light hits it.  Contact me for more information at tam_morton@earthlink.net.
Supplies:
Perfect Punches and Sincere Salutations stamp sets
Card stock:  Very Vanilla, Elegant Eggplant and Shimmery White
Ink:  Elegant Eggplant ink pad and refill, Daffodil Delight refill
Big Shot with Manhattan Impression Folder and Top Note die
Butterfly, Wide Oval  and Large Oval Punches
Rhinestone Brads and the NEW Jewels - Rhinestones

Butterfly Pansies 

1.     Punch out two butterflies from Shimmer White cardstock (two for each flower).
2.     Spritz them with water (allowing the water to puddle and pool).
3.     Load Aqua Painter with Eggplant Envy ink (from a re-inker)  and touch the brush to the outer edges of the butterflies.   The ink will spread, but you might have to "help" it along.
4.     Touch the middle with Daffodil Delight Ink (from a re-inker)
5.     Let mostly dry (you can let sit, dab a little off, or heat set)
6.     Curl or push up edges so flower curls up a little.
7.     Adhere one butterfly crosswise over the other one by using a brad, or glue together and put a Jewel on top.  


Concord Bird Card
The ideas for this card and the vase card came from other great stampers at convention, where we swapped card fronts to get more fun ideas.  I just stepped it up a little with this card.  
Supplies:
Vintage Jumbo Wheel and Great Friend stamp set
Card Stock:  Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi and Whisper White
Ink:  Concord Crush
Two Step Bird and Eyelet Border punches

Flower Vase Card
This is fun, and to mail just fold the flowers down, and slip in a note telling them to fluff the flowers.
Supplies:
Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card stock:  Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black and Whisper White
Ink:  Basic Black
Two step Bird, 1-3/4" Scallop Circle, Ornament, Modern Label, Word Window punches

Have fun stamping!
