Yesterday on Stampin Connection I saw someone's card (I just looked it up--her name is Megan Anderson; I like to give credit to those who have inspired me!) that had made a penguin out of the Owl punch, and, since my friend who LOVES penguins hasn't been feeling very good, I thought I would make her a card! This is how it turned out:
Aren't they SOOOOOO cute? I love all the cards I am seeing using this punch! Here is my card recipe (there isn't much stamping on this one):
STAMPS: Teeny Tiny Wishes
PAPER:
Marina Mist 4-1/4 x 11, score at 5-1/2
Whisper White 3 x 4-1/4, 2-1/4 x 4-1/4, 1-1/2 x 4-1/4
Scraps of Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red Cardstock
ACCESSORIES: Owl punch, Sponge, Marina Mist Classic Ink, Three Heart Punch, 1/8" Marina Mist Ribbon
I made the second card for a swap recently that my friend, Ellen, hosted. It was a Kraft/Crumb Cake swap, and the only requirement was that we use Kraft/Crumb Cake in our creation. Here is what I made:
My recipe is:
STAMPS: A Flower For All Seasons, Teeny Tiny Wishes
CARDSTOCK:
Kraft/Crumb Cake 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
Old Olive 3 x 5-1/4
Scrap Watercolor Paper and Pumpkin Pie Cardstock
INK: Old Olive, Black Stazon Ink, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard, Basic Gray and Old Olive Reinkers, Garden Green Watercolor Wonder Crayon
PUNCHES:
Scallop Edge Punch
2-3/8 Scallop Circle Punch
1-3/4 Circle Punch
ACCESSORIES: Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Sponge, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Hemp Twine, Sponge
I made my third card while I was getting ready for Play Day last month. I really like to make more than one card with each stamp set that I use, and then choose the best card I come up with to make at Play Day. This card was greatly inspired by a card I saw on Stampin Connection (a Stampin Up Demo web site where we can share our creations) and uses the Tropical Party stamp set:
My recipe for this card:
STAMPS: Tropical Party, Fundamental Phrases
PAPER:
Tempting Turquoise 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4
Pumpkin Pie 3-7/8 x 5-1/2
Island Oasis DS Paper 3-3/4 x 5
Tempting Turquoise 1-7/8 x 4-7/8
Pumpkin Pie 1-5/8 x 4-5/8
Scrap Whisper White
INK:
Rose Red, Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise
ACCESSORIES: 1-3/8 Square Punch, Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red and Old Olive Brads, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Sponge, Word Window and Modern Label Punch, Dimensionals
Thanks for looking!
Happy stampin and scrappin!
