Happy 7th Birthday Nicola!

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have another project using the brand new Foxy Friends Bundle and the Large Number Framelits. Sorry for the reflection, it has been quite gloomy here in Melbourne and very difficult to photograph!

This card was made for a gorgeous little girls 7th birthday party that we attended on Saturday.

Foxy Friends, Kitty Cat, 7th Birthday, DIY, #stampinup, Handmade

I started by applying some of the A Little Foxy Designer Series Paper to the background of the card and then a grass was added. I cut a strip of cucumber crush card and used the fringe scissors to create this.

I stamped the cat & punched the pieces out with the Fox builder punch. The stump and the mushrooms were stamped and fussy cut.

Can you see the Stampin’ Write Marker lines on the Banner and the 7? How did I draw that line so evenly around them, you ask? Well, when I die cut the images, before I took them out of the die, I traced that line around the inside of the die and did small dots, then I removed the card from the metal dies. Clever hey?!!!!!

I had great fun creating this card for Nicola’s 7th Birthday party on Saturday!

Foxy Friends Shadow Box

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have created a Shadow Box with the brand new Foxy Friends Bundle. I had so much fun playing with this bundle that I wanted to incorporate as many of the little animals in one project, but they wouldn’t fit on a card so I made a shadow box to display!

Sorry for the reflection, it is quite difficult to photograph without it and it didn’t look the same not in the frame!

Shadow Box, Foxy Friends, DIY, #stampinup, Handmade, 2016

I started with a whisper white background and cut it to size to fit into the 8″ x 8″ frame.

I stamped all the animals, punched them out with the Fox builder punch and some I had to fussy cut. I created an extra head for each one. Once I glued them together, I added the second head piece with a dimensional for that true 3D effect.

Here are each of the animals closer up!

Check out this little kitty cat with the bell tied around its neck, super cute!

The Lion King

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a punch art project in memory of our visit to see The Lion King on Wednesday. It felt like a long time coming, as I purchased the tickets at the beginning of the year, but the whole family thoroughly enjoyed the show, even us big kids!! hehe

Here is a pic of my girls before the show

The Lion King

Okay, now let’s get started on showing you my card.

I embossed a piece of Delightful Dijon card stock with the Chevron TIEF and then used my sponge daubers to colour the raised chevrons with the coordinating ink.

Stampin Up Lion King Punch art

The lion is created using many different punches including circles, scallop circles, ovals and flowers. I added some googly eyes to make him come alive!!! His mane and tip of his tail are chocolate chip card stock. I sponged all the edges of each piece before putting him together for added depth.

Hello Crafters,

The punches used are mostly circles and word window. Once all the pieces are glued together, I added the plane to the card with dimensionals so it actually looks like it is flying!

Here is a close up.

Hello Crafters,

This morning I share with you a card I made for a birthday party my daughter went to on Saturday. I had no idea what to make for this 8 year old boy, so I went searching for ideas on Pinterest (my favourite place for brilliant ideas)!

I saw a card similar to this on ‘s blog in the UK.

Frozen Olaf

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

I have so many kids birthday invites on our fridge at the moment that I need to get cracking on some of the cards to place on their pressies!

Miss 4 has been invited to a Frozen party and what better than creating a little punch art. I know when I watched the movie FROZEN, I fell in love with Olaf, the little snowman, so here he is!

Frozen Olaf Punch Art Card

I used Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Soft Suede, Tangelo Twist and Basic Black card stock to create Olaf. I used the Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker for his eyebrows and hair. The lines on the buttons I used the chalk marker.

The Designer Series Paper has retired (it was from last year’s holiday catalogue), but there are plenty of gorgeous DSPs in this years Holiday Catalogue which will be available from 28th August, so not long now to wait!

Frozen Olaf Punch Art Card

The punches I used were:

  • 2 1/2″ Circle
  • 1 3/8″ circle
  • 1/2″ circle
  • 3/4″ x 15/16″ oval
  • 1 3/4″ x 7/8″ oval
  • 2″ x 1 3/8″ oval
  • I cut the head, arms & teeth out by hand!

So with a few punches that you probably already have in your stash, you too can recreate this gorgeous card. Go on give it a go, the little munchkin who receives it will be blown away!!!

This design was based on one I saw on Pinterest by Michelle Suit in the USA.

Monkey Punch Art

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Happy Good Friday to you and I hope you are enjoying the start of this Easter break!!!

I know the excitement is certainly building in our house with two very excited girls looking forward to the Easter Bunny visiting on Sunday!

In following on from Wednesday’s blog post on Punch Art, I have another one for you which is super duper cute!

Monkey Punch Art

Isn’t she the most gorgeous thing you have seen?!!! I am so pleased with this card, I can see myself making many more!

The base card is white then I layered a piece of Sahara Sand Core’dinations cardstock which I embossed with the Arrows TIEF (available until 30 June) and then sanded it.

The next layer is Melon Mambo and then White on top.

The monkey is created with Crumb Cake & Soft Suede cardstock and the nose is black.

The heart was created by stamping the largest heart in the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and die cutting it out with the coordinating Framelits. The large heart is a punch and the smaller heart is from the Hearts a Flutter framelits. The tiny heart on her head is also a punch with a rhinestone for a bit of bling!

Monkey Punch Art

I used the black Stampin’ Write Marker to draw the mouth and dots. I added some googly eyes for a more effective finish. Doesn’t she just make you go, awwww!

This was so much fun to make and see her come alive as I put it together! Go on, have a go yourself, I know you want to!

I must thank http://www.brandyscards.com for showing me how to create this gorgeous card.

Dragon Punch Art

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Having my gorgeous two girls home on school holidays and with the wet weather, we have had to find indoor activities and what better way to spend the day creating punch art!

Dinosaur Punch Art     Dinosaur Punch Art

Not sure exactly what they are, whether a dinosaur or a dragon, but how cool are these little fellas?!!!

Yes, they can be quite fiddly to make, but they are so much fun and look at the end result.

If you love this and want to get started making your own, all you need are a few punches. And if you don’t have some of them, they are all available in my online store and orders are shipped to your door within 48hrs of placing the order.

Using Stampin’ Dimensionals gives your creature a real life 3D effect and makes him pop up off the page!

Dinosaur Punch Art

Here I added some detail using a White Gel Pen to the nostrils and eyes (punched using a hole punch)!

These are such effective cards and wonderful characters to create. Why not have a go yourself, you may just surprise yourself!

Hello Crafters,

Morning everyone and what a wonderful time of year it is, with the cooler mornings and lovely days. I am thankful for the cooler change!

I know I am not the only one who loves owls at the moment, so I wanted to share with you today a gorgeous card I made which was case’d from Deb Raymer of Debzhouse Stamping.

So here it is!

Owl Punch Art

I used the Venetian Romance DSP with the coordinating card stock of Soft Suede, Pistachio Pudding, Tangerine Tango & Crisp Canteloupe.

The background is embossed with the Woodgrain TIEF. The white markings on the beak and eyes was using a White Uniball Signo Gel Pen.

Owl Punch Art

The punches used to make this cute baby owl are:

I added some green feather that I found lying around in my kids craft area and it matched perfectly for my owl!
