Bauble in a Window Card

This card is a pretty design another from Valita .  It reminds me of a shop window with a decorative bauble hanging.  The card is Real Red and Old Olive in colour.  The Whisper White card stock is stamped with the Baroque Motifs large background stamp.  A window topper of DSP is cut with the Scallop Edge Border  punch and fixed with dimensionals.  A bow of Real Red satin ribbon was glued to the DSP.  The Delightful Decorations stamp was stamped twice.  The middle of the bauble is punched out with a circle punch and fixed with a dimensional onto the larger punched shape made using the Ornament Punch.   A rhinestone is fixed to the middle for a little bling.  A small hole is punched in the top and some gold cord is threaded through and glued underneath the DSP.

This card and many more can be made during my Christmas Card Classes.  Please call me on (02) 9727 9384 or 0401 459 486 for more details.

Happy Santa Punch Art card

Isn't he cute!  How would your little ones (or big ones even) like to receive this Santa card at Christmas?  He is a jolly fellow made easily with Stampin Up products.  The card is Old Olive stamped with Snow Swirled stamp for extra interest.  The moustache is the bird's body of the 2 step Bird Punch again, do you own this very useful punch yet?  His hat is made with Real Red card and the Pink Pirouette is used for his nose and face.  The Whisper White beard, moustache, hair and pom pom were all embossed with the Polka Dot embossing folder. Lastly, the White Gel Pen makes the twinkle in his eyes and the fur around his hat.  Simple but effective.  

Christmas is almost at the front door...

More punch art, it's so much fun.

This was one of the cards we made at my Christmas card classes recently.
The base is Very Vanilla, and there are additional panels for the door, sponged in  Lucky Limeade ink (one of our new In Colors for 2011-12)

The wreath was made starting with a circle punchie, with a second hole punched in the middle.  Around this, I used the branch from the 2 step bird punch, and I glued them on with the wonderful Tombow Multi Purpose Glue.  The flowers are punched using the Itty Bitty Punch pack small flower, in Melon Mambo. Not exactly traditional Christmas colours, but bright and fresh for Australia's HOT Christmas!  A bit more bling, with a few of the Basics Pearls in the centres.

The doorknob is a Vintage brad, which is a great standin!

The sentiment is from Snow Swirled, and punched with the Scallop Oval punch, popped up on a dimensional and with the edges inked for definition.
