Reindeer Punch Gift Card Holders

Look at these fun gift card holders!!  I made some of these for a Gift Card Swap, and wanted to share the directions and supplies with you.  I'll post better pictures of the other gift card swaps soon.

My gift card holder pattern came from LeeAnn Greff. She posted an easy gift card holder that's perfect for any occasion. I found the idea for the reindeer punch art from Dena Rekow, when she posted an adorable bag/gift card holder with the reindeer on the front. She got the reindeer from Jill Hillard--LOVE IT!! Dena even posted a great picture of all the punches used to make putting the reindeer together so easy!

Dena Rekow posted some great pictures, and a chart of the punches used to make the reindeer.  She gave credit to Jill Hillard for the punched reindeer idea.  I loved what they both did with the reindeer.  I spent some time making a bunch of reindeer for cards.

I only used some of the punches that Dena did.  The punches I used were:  Owl punch for head, eyes and tail (just a small piece of the ear and head to make the tail), Oval Punch for body (cut a small piece off), 1/2" Circle Punch for the nose and the hooves (cut off a small piece), Tree Punch for antlers and ears (ears are from the tear drop shape on the punch).  I used Tombow Multi Purpose Glue, Glue Dots and Dimensionals to put the reindeer together.

LeeAnn Greff posted an easy gift card holder weeks ago.  I just love how versatile this card holder is!  They work great for Christmas, but also for anytime of year.  
Directions for Gift Card Holder:
4-1/4" x 11" card, scored at 2" and 5-1/2". Use a Circle or Oval punch on the end for circle shape to pull out gift card.  Tear and Tape to adhere when you fold over.  

Here are the cards for the swap, I used the Paper Pumpkin November 2015 kit (Mistletoe & Holly) stamps for the greeting.  Starbucks had cute cup shaped gift cards at the store, perfect for a fun and different gift card!

Hope you enjoy these fun and easy gift card holders!!

Owl Punch Cards

Yesterday I held my September Fall Card Class and yesterday I shared a card my friend Melissa Walker made at class.  Today I'm sharing one of the samples from class.  

We used the Owl Builder Punch  to make fun owls and other creatures like the ones on these cards.  

The Owl Builder Punch is great for making owls and for making other shapes and creatures too.  Turn the owl body upside-down to make a ghost or alien.  

To make the pumpkin, I used the 1" Circle Punch.  Punch 3 circles, stamp and sponge with ink to give it texture, then glue together.  A little piece of green for the stem and for the little leaves, one of the dies from the Pillow Box Dies.  

Supplies include Happy Scenes Stamp set, Perfect Pennants stamp set,  Hardwood stamp, Owl Builder Punch, 1-3/4" & 1-3/8" and 1" Circle punches, Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie Classic Inks
card stock: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Cucumber Crush, Whisper White, Basic Black

If you are in the Denver area, come to a card class.  Check my calendar here for upcoming events.  Contact me to attend or for more information.

Halloween Owl Punch Card

Today I held my September Fall Card Class.  I just had to share this card that Melissa Walker made at class.  I always love how she takes my ideas and uses them as a spring board to her own.  I just love what she did with this card.   

We used the Owl Builder Punch  to make fun owls and other creatures like the ones on this card.  What a fun Halloween card.  Melissa used the little heart in the punch, and cut it in half to make the eyes on the ghost.

She did a nice job on the inside too.

Supplies include Happy Scenes Stamp set, Hardwood stamp, White Stampin' Chalk Marker, Owl Builder Punch, 1-3/4" & 1-3/8" Circle punches, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink
card stock: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Cucumber Crush, Whisper White, Basic Black

Thanksgiving Turkey Card

I love Stampin'Up! punches and dies.  This card is just one of the many reasons why.  I saw a great video on YouTube that Tami White did showing how to make this fun turkey card.  I loved it and thought it would be fun to make some for my family.  

I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving!!

These fun cards are CASEd (copy and share everything) from Tami.  I loved the way she made them.  

Story behind the cards… I punched out the shapes and used the die for the flip cards ahead of time.  Then while Bruce was driving our family to Steamboat Springs for the week I was sponging and putting the turkeys together in the car. It's amazing how much you can get done with a little prep.  Had a good trip up, though Rabbit Ears Pass was a little scary in the snow storm, low visibility.  Made to Steamboat safely and it has snowed over 2 feet! The snow is beautiful to watch and I brought my November Paper Pumpkin Kit.  So after we finish the giant puzzle it's time for more crafting.  Hope you all enjoy your week!  

To make the turkey you will need the Owl Punch, Bird Punch and Modern Label Punch.

Use the bird body and the wing from the Bird Punch.
Turn your bird upside-down and cut a straight line from the head to the tail, you will cut off the long part of the tail.
Use the foot from the Owl Punch for the end cap of your turkey leg.
Use the Modern Label Punch, cut in half to make the roasting pan.
Sponge the edges of all your punch pieces.
Attach the small foot to the pointed end of the wing to make your drumstick.
Use a dimensional to attach to the turkey body.
Place your turkey body on to the Scalloped Circle (Very Vanilla) then the roasting pan (Cajun Craze).

See all the Stampin'Up! Punches HERE.

The Circle Card Thinlits Die is a great die for making movable cards, and includes 10 dies.  I have used this die so many times, and you will too.

Tag It Birthday Card

A few months ago I offered these fun punch balloons at my Birthday card class.  I got the idea for the punch balloons from Dawn Olchefske. 
Here's another card using this idea, but this time I used the Tag It stamp set. When you purchase the Tag It Stamp Set, Stampin'Up! donates $3 to the Ronald MeDonald House Charities.  This set also coordinates with the Chalk Talk Framelits Dies. Available in wood or clear.  Want to see the other fun balloon birthday card?  Click HERE.

I've included  some pictures below to show how to put the balloon together. Use the Owl Builder Punch (foot of the owl) for the base of the balloon.  Use either Circle or Oval Punches for the balloon shape.  Glue together and use Baker's Twine and Diminesionals to pop up your balloons.  

Tag It stamp set, Gumball Green, Summer Star Fruit and Whisper White, Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper, Circle and Oval punches, Owl Punch, White Bakers Twine, Dimensionals

Another fun birthday card that we are making at my next card class.  I love the balloons!  RSVP to attend class this Thursday night.
I used the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper from Stampin'Up!, see it and all the other great Designer Series Papers HERE. 

I got the idea for this card from Dawn Olchefske.  She has a great video on her blog that shows how she made the punch art balloons.  Love them!  I made my balloons bigger, but I love the idea, no matter what size you make your balloons.  

Thanks Dawn, love your idea!

How do you make the base of the balloons?  The Owl Punch!  It's the foot, just cut it off and glue to the back of your oval or circle punched shape.

Owl Punch Bat Card

I participated in a 3 x 3 card swap at the Stampin'Up! convention during the summer and got some wonderful ideas from that swap.  One of my favorite ideas was a sweet card that used the Owl Punch to make a bat.  I loved this idea, so I made it into a standard size card to offer as one of the projects at my Halloween class.  

 Here's the card I made for class.  

Stamps:  Googly Ghouls (Holiday Catalog)

Paper:  Basic Black, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and Whisper White

Inks:  Basic Black Classic and Whisper White Craft ink

Googlies, Big Shot, 3 inch Circle die, 1/2 inch Circle Punch, White Gel Pen, Paper Snips, Stampin' Sponge, Dimensionals

Here's the wonderful 3 x 3 card that inspired me.  I was so sad to see there was no name inside this card, I wanted to give her credit.
