Hi everyone,
It's becoming very apparent that June is turning into a very crazy, busy month! With a couple nephews graduating, more birthdays in June than I can count, school concerts, school trips, final exams and then all the normal stuff on top of that I'm finding it a little difficult to find time to create. So to get my stamping fix today I CASED a couple of cards I found in a SU! publication.
Since I have a couple of nephews graduating and I don't have any "grad" type stamps I thought I'd try and make this cute Owl with paper punches. I didn't have all the punches it required so I fudged it a bit and hand cut the beak and feet.
If you know anything about me you'll know that I just love cards made with punches. I think they're so creative and fun! Not that I've been able to come up with my own punch characters, I'll leave that up to the real creative types and just CASE their wonderful ideas. Check out my Punch Gallery for more great punch cards I've collected over time.
To make this Owl with all punches you'll need the following:
Scallop Circle (Wings), Round Tab, (Head), Small Tag and Word Window (Hat), 5-Petal Flower (beak); Boho Blossoms (Feet); 1/2" and 1/4" Circles (eyes)
The next card I made in a jiffy. I really like the Manhattan Flower Texturz Impressions Die, it makes for such quick gorgeous cards. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be more of these in the new Stampin' Up Catalogue.
I used my last piece of scrap Baja Breeze cardstock to make this 5 1/4" square card. I'm going to miss Baja Breeze. The new blue in the next In-Color collection is called Bermuda Bay. I should be receiving my shipment of new In-Colors tomorrow along with my complimentary copy of the 2009/2010 Stampin' Up! Catalogue. The poor UPS man isn't going to know what hit him when I come flying out of the house to "grab" my box of goodies... someone should warn him. lOL
The dsp is "Walk in the Park" from the current Occasions Mini Catalogue.
That's it for now.... Enjoy your day!
