Punch Art - BIG TIME....

I love Punch art!!!! Especially when it is BIG!!!! How cute are these three lovely cards???

Sooooooooooo CUTE!!!!

Enjoy

Perpetual Christmas Card

I love love love this card!!! BECAUSE it is FUN!!!! It was part of one of my classes called "Cards that move".... it is so darned cool... you open it from the middle and the way the card is stuck together it continues to fold (from the middle) until it is all the way back to the front again!!!

I gaurantee if you give this card to any age they will be amazed with it and it will not be put down for several hours!!! You JUST HAVE TO play with it!!!!

I got the idea a year or so ago when I recieved some cool junk mail that did this.. but never followed through with drafting a pattern.... making it bigger and..... producing a class... However when I saw a UTube video of Brian from Stampin' Up! US... I just had to do it!!!!

Check out his video here.... Fabulous Folds Card with Brian PillingVideo

I have also written some easy instructions with pictures for Brian doing his thang.. if you would like a copy I am happy to share....

Stamp n Stack 4 Boys

 No matter who you are Boys cards always seem to be the hardest...
 I find when I am looking at a stamp set I try to see if it could be used for both male and female cards... If you swap the colours around and use part of the stamp you will be surprised with what you may come up with....

Lovely as a Tree... so easy to make this one into a male card....

Although this one of these stamp sets are retired (Extreme Elements ... this is one I just can not get rid of... I LOVE IT!!!!) You can substitute your stamp set for another that may have some shapes etc in them like Circle Circus... the technique that is used in these cards is resist embossing.... Stamp all your coloured images first... then using VersaMark stamp on top of your images a really solid stamp.. (the splash from Extreem Elements) the clear emboss.... then taking your Brayer roll over several times with some dark ink... Rip the edges and you have a VERY VERY cool effect!!! Two toned paper..... its very MANLY!!! Gerr!!!

A Ship is always a great older gentleman's card!!! How sophisticated does this one look???? And it is so simple... Stamp your greeting then Create some texture with an embossing folder... Wrap some ribbon around and stamp the image in StayzOn... dauber the edges and back with dark card stock.. It's so EASY!!!!

Here4 are some other lovely cards that were created for a class... cant remember which one.. but they are nice too...

Christmas Warterfall Card

How much do you love the Waterfall cards???.. I have taught this one a few times in the last 6 years and it never gets old!!! EVERYONE loves it!!!

I love the stamp set Joyous Celebrations... it's sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! another MUST have in your collection..... and the FANTASTIC Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (126904)... These are just AWESOME for the card makers.. the DSP is just the right size for one card... I ahve done so much with my pack!!! It goes such a LONG way!!!! AND they can be used for all occasions not just Christmas because they have FANTASTIC colours in them.... And AWESOME patterns that are not 'just' Christmas!!!! So get in now and order yourself a pack or two... you know you want to!!!
