Create with Connie and Mary--Punch Art!

Happy Saturday! Thank you so much for joining us today while we create some projects with PUNCH ART…I won’t lie, this is a challenging theme for me! However, I have discovered a really easy way to transform my Daisy Punch into something super cute!

I also wanted to combine our design theme of Punch Art into something with Easter as that holiday will be here before we know it!

I paired up my Daisy Punch with the Arrange a Wreath Bundle to create this adorable Easter Card!

Isn’t this card just the sweetest? I love how it turned out!

Okay, let’s talk creative details!

The base of this card is So Saffron and I added a small strip of Flowers for Every Season DSP to the left hand side of the card base.

I cut a wreath from Soft Seafoam and flicked my Granny Apple Green marker over top to add a little texture. Flicking a marker is my favorite technique! It is the simplest way to add texture and interest.

The box is stamped in Cinnamon Cider and is hand trimmed. The eggs however are cut with a die and are stamped in So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party.

The Punch Art aspect of my card in the bunny I was able to create with the Daisy Punch! Its literally SO EASY! Just punch yourself a daisy in a bunny friendly color and trim away all of the petals until you have 2 bunny ears left! I then just tucked this into the box so it looks like the bunny is peaking out! CUUUUTE!

Happy Easter is stamped in Granny Apple Green on Soft Seafoam card stock (who says you can’t mix greens?) and the teeny flowers on the wreath are found in the die set! A little Elegant Faceted Gem was perfect for the center.

I can’t wait to see what the rest of the Design Team shares this week! You can go BACK to see Melissa’s design and NEXT to see what Connie has created! Please feel free to use my HOST CODE (on the side bar of my blog) if you live in Canada :)

Merry Christmas Wreath

Okay, so I will admit that I am late to the game here with the Arrange a Wreath Bundle…and I LOVE it! I recently took advantage of a 50% off item to get this bundle and its so fabulous! I decided to pair up the wreath with the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper to mimic a rustic front door.

I loved this card so much I decided to make a bunch for a card swap I have on the horizon. I started by choosing Just Jade and Shaded Spruce to be my wreath colors and added in some Very Vanilla poinsettia’s , both cut from the Wreath Builder dies.

Merry Christmas is stamped in Just Jade ink with a bit of ink flicking done in the same color. I added some Blue Adhesive Backed Gems to the wreath as well. Don’t let the description fool you, these gems have a magical quality of reflecting the surface they are on, so you can see on the wreath how they pick up the green tones! Sometimes, the only way to figure these things out is by playing around.

You may notice I added another little strip of DSP to the side of the woodgrain DSP. It from the Tis’ the Season 6x6 stack and it combines Real Red and Cherry Cobbler together. The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler which helped that little strip just pop off the page.

I absolutely love how this finished card turned out. It is traditional holiday colors and Christmas feel to me and I hope you will give this bundle a try!
