Southern Bell Punch Art

Isn't this just the cutest thing.   I LOVE PUNCH ART.   My friend Olivia made a beautiful punch art doll a week ago at our demo get together but I didn't get to go because I was sick.  She showed it to me Tuesday at our downline meeting when I made the Camera Punch art card. She told me how to make it  and then came home and made my own.  I don't know if she had made it into a card, but that's what I did.  .  If you would like to check out Olivia's blog-click here

  It is so easy to change the looks of things. This is a 5 x7 card.   I changed my card up - by adding some pearls, flowers,  some accent colors to the skirt and dimensionals to the dress.  Here is my dress card.

It's Officially Spring

Can you believe it's the first day of Spring.  I hope you are having beautiful weather to start this season off.  Here it's been POURING all morning but the afternoon is still to come and I am hoping for sunny skies.  So to keep busy I made a bunny candy house.  I put a little jumping bunny and some candy in it.
I made it with the tags dies pg 193 in the big Idea/Catalog book.  # 115954  $21.95
I use this alot to make bookmarks, and little candy boxes.  I usually have been using the small tag so this morning I decided to use the larger tag.  The box measures 4 3/4 x 4 3/4.  Scored at 2"  on all sides.  The 2 sides across from each other I cut on both of the sides next to the middle.  (You should only have 4 cuts total-2 on each side)  I then fold the ends to the inside and glue them together.  I cut 2 large tags and glued them to both sides of the box.  I cut a piece of DSP(sorry this one is retired but this was the first one I made and sometimes I have to do a little adjusting-not this time)  Cut my DSP at 2" x 8 1/2" and taped it to the side of the box.  Keeping it right at the same height as the sides.  Then I used the New  5/8" Flower Trim pg 5  New Spring Catalog  #126869  $6.95  -you get 2 yards .  I use it alot because I think this is one of my favorite things in this catalog along with the Delicate Details Lace Tape pg 3 New Spring Catalog,  #130966 for  $9.95.  You get 2 rolls and you can use them over and over again if you use you dauber to ink it on your paper and then remove it.  It turns out very pretty and if you use Versa Mark you can even emboss it and it is beautiful.  Anyways,  let me get back to my instructions.....I used some Very Vanilla ribbon to tie through the holes that are already cut from the tag die and tied a knot.  Then made a small Very Vanilla bow and using a glue dot I attached it on the other side.  I then decorated the top with some extra paper, added a sentiment from the -A Little Bit of Spring Stamp set- pg 22 New catalog  #126009 (w) $31.95 or #126011 (c) $23.95.   Made a little flower using the 1" scallop punch and the new 7/8" scalloped punch. This was pretty easy.  And really cute.  I always make things to give to our neighborhood kids and this is going to be one of them.  I think they'll really like it.  Let me know if you do.
If you need any help please do not hesitate to call me.  Thanks for looking.  And Happy Spring!

Someone Special

I just love the new Artisan Embellishment kit.   Check out the doily.  I sponged it using Crumb Cake ink #126975  and used Champagne Mist paint to make it sparkle. The Saying is from Sale-a-bration catalog.  It's the Vintage verses & I loved it on this card.   The new 5/8" Flower Trim (#126869, pg 5 of the new Spring catalog) is another of my favorites.  You can ink them to make them just about any color you want.  I also colored them using alcohol and ink and that works well also.  Use them in a row or just one by one.  Either way their great!  I also use rhinestones for the centers of the flowers.    Added a little bit of Lucky Limeade leaves for some color and a few butterflies.  Love this.  Hope you do too.

If you need a new Spring Catalog  just email me with your info and I will send one right out to you.  Sale-a-bration is still going on and will continue until March 22nd.  Remember for every $50.00 you spend you get something out of the sale-a-bration catalog.  There's some really nice thing in there.  If you don't have one you can check it out on my blog also.

Thanks for looking.  And have a great weekend!
