I purchased a punch art tutorial from Kim Score at Paper Punch Addiction and used the dragonfly with Awash With Flowers to make this birthday card –

It’s a 6 x 6 card – so cute!  The wings were pressed into a Versamark pad and covered with Iridescent Ice embossing power to make them sparkle.

I went over the ribbon on the packages with Dazzling Details – they sparkle too!

The dragonfly and packages are on Dimensionals to give them some pop.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Stampin Success has a new style – and it’s wonderful.  One of the projects is a treat box that is “capped” with the Fancy Flower punch.  I needed a treat holder for a small birthday add-on and this fit the bill perfectly. 

Doesn’t it look like firecracker?  Forget birthdays – I’m thinking 4th of July!

Here’s a 3 x 6 Valentine using Pretty Postage.  I love how these stamps work with the 1″ square punch and the postage stamp punch – it just makes things so much easier.  For this card I masked off the 24/7 with tape until the last heart – little tiny pieces of tape!

I saw these owls on Creating the Hive attributed to Kerry’s Paper Crafts.  They are created using the Big Shot Pillow Box die.  Aren’t they cute?  I couldn’t resist having them hold a paper chain of hearts!

I tried two different ways to do the “feathers” on the owls.  The one of the left (Melon Mambo) uses the 3/4″ circle punch to make the feathers.  Each one is attached separately  The one on the right (Pumpkin Pie) uses the Big Shot Tasteful Trim die.  Can you see the difference?

Supplies
Stamp Set – Candy Conversation (Occasions Mini)
card stock – Melon Mambo/Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight
Stampin Write Markers – Indigo Island, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight
Etc – Big Shot Pillow Box die, Tasteful Trim/3/4″ circle punch, 1″ and 3/4″ circle punches, Trio Heart punch, Oval punch, Basic Rhinestones

So while I was playing around I decided to see if this little guy could be used as a party favor for my daughter’s graduation this spring –

Happy New Years Eve!  I think it’s appropriate to end the old year with a look to the New Year so here’s another sneak peek of the Occasions mini starting January 4th.  This set is called Mixed Bunch and there is a matching punch available for it – a favorite feature of any set! 

The base of this card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 (8 1/2 x 4 1/4 scored at 4 1/4.)  When placing the flower on the top of the card, you want to make sure it goes no higher than 5 1/2 so it will fit in an envelope.  Grid paper makes this easy. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Mixed Bunch, Sweetly Said
card stock – Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Basic Black, Whisper White, Bold Brights paper pack, Pretty in Pink
Ink – Melon Mambo, Basic Black
Etc – Blossom punch, Beautiful Wings embosslit, Scallop Trim border punch, basic pearls, Bird Builder punch, Neutrals brad, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Have a safe and happy New Year – see you in 2012!  Hugs, Fran

One of my favorite samples in the Idea Book is the sample for Merry Winter on page 41.  I gathered up the supplies I have on hand and recreated it.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Merry Winter

Stampin Write Markers – Real Red, Lucky Limeade, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip
Etc – Full Heart punch, Owl Punch, buttons, 1/8 Real Red ribbon, Stamp a Ma Jig
