School Punch Art

Hi there! Sorry for my lack of posting lately...the pictures above say it all. The start of the school year is insanely busy for teachers (and I know it is for parents, as well). Here is my September calendar page with some back-to-school punch art. I hand drew the notebook paper with Stampin' Write markers.

Enjoy!

Supplies:

Stamps: Best Wishes & More (retired), Tart & Tangy

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla, Brushed Silver

Ink: Real Red, Basic Black, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive

Accessories: Spiral Border Punch, Large Oval Punch, Small Oval Punch, Word Window Punch, silver brad

Whooo Loves the Owl Punch?

This adorable owl was made using the new Two-Step Owl Punch; when I saw this punch in the new catalogue, I knew it was going to the top of my must-have list right away. These 3x3'' cards

came together easily and quickly with a few key tools; the owl punch, the branch from the Two-Step Bird Punch, and the Woodgrain background stamp. I hand-wrote the sentiment on the second card with a Stampin' Write marker. The owl is super easy to put together, especially if you make a whole batch of the little guys all at once.

Have a great day!

Supplies:

Stamps: Woodgrain background stamp, Picture This (retired)

Paper: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Whisper White, Real Red, Cottage Garden (retired)

Ink: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip

Watercolour Trio Plant Pick

Here's a slightly different take on the card in my last post. Can you spot the differences? I needed to make a quick card to go with a potted plant, so I layered two Top Note die cuts, punched out the greeting with the Designer Label punch and wrote a message on the back. I happened to have the plastic pick lying around (don't ever throw those away!), so I slipped it in and I was done!

Watercolour Trio

I made this card a while back and never got around to posting it. This is one of my FAVOURITE sets from the Summer Mini Catalog! It's called Watercolour Trio, and it will only be available to order until August 31. This set makes really pretty cards quickly and easily, and you can combine the three flower/leaf images in it in an endless variety of ways. It also comes with three great sentiments and a little butterfly. I cased this card from Andrea Walford. I stamped off the Baja Breeze flowers once before stamping them onto the Very Vanilla cardstock to make them look softer.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Tropical Party Mini Pizza Box

Aloha stampers! I'm back from a wonderful, relaxing vacation in Hawaii. We got to spend 4 days on Oahu and 5 days on Maui, and loved both islands.

Today's project is definitely Hawaii-inspired. It's a mini pizza box that can fit 3x3 cards or a small gift. There is a great tutorial on how to make the box here on Splitcoast Stampers.

3-D Drink Card

I've seen these drink cards on Splitcoast before and they have always fascinated me. It amazes me what people's creative minds can come up with. Who would have thought, a 3-D cup effect on a card! I cased this particular one from Lorri Heiling, including the idea of putting the little drink packet inside. This was so much fun to make, and actually easier than I thought it would be.
