Chip Carton at CA

At Crafters Anonymous tonight we made a chip box but I decided I'm not allowed chips so I made it into a vase for my flowers. I embossed the box then lightly brayered the embossing. I used the scallop edge punch to scallop the top

Sesame Street Characters & the Claus's

Punch art done with StampinUp punches. I got hooked on punch art when I saw it done by Anne Brignal on Crafters Anonymous some time ago and then when I spent some time with Julia and her family last week she had done these characters from Sesame Street so I had to copy them. Santa is similar to my punchart Santa I have done before and Mrs Claus is from a punch art I saw that was a lady and I just gave her white hair and red clothes

Punch art Santa

This is a swap I did for training. It is a punch art Santa made from StampinUp punches

Hidden Garden

Hi over at Crafters Anonymous we do challenges each week. this week was a card and we had to decorate it. I chose to do a Hidden Garden. the ribbon punch lace from the SU punch is so versatile. The base of the pot I made so I could put the flowers in behind it.

Holiday Lineup and another Santa box

This is what I made at the workshop I had. Using the same stampset 'Holiday Lineup but using a different stamp in the set. I used the
122362 Lace Ribbon Border punch to make the lace round the 2 edges. The Santa box we embossed with the square lattice (119976) folder and I used the new christmas stocking punch to make the boots for Santa. I love the way this little treat box goes together so quickly. Remember anyone wanting these StampinUp products can email me with an order. Remember you can brouse the catalogue on my blog at http://ohsomanycrafts.blogspot.com as well. Happy crafting.

Holiday Lineup

This is the card I am going to teach my ladies tomorrow. I used the 'Holiday lineup' set and stamped it on whisper white cardstock. Then I cut a mask to go over it. I then sponged the background with 2 shades of blue and green with the mask in place and left the mask in place while I stamped the stamp from Lovely as a tree over the mask to put it in the background but on top of the sponging. I used Pacific point card stock for the card and then mounted the stamped image onto confetti cream. I then used the Dotted scallopped ribon border to do the ribbon at the bottom with more pacific point. I coloured the image with StampinUp markers and have left room at the top for a sentiment.

Santa treat box

Oh such fun with Christmas a comin. I saw this little treatbox well actually its not so little it measures 5.5x4.5 and is triangle shaped, but it holds quite a lot. It would be a great gift box for those smallish items for christmas or change the santa and do it for anytime. Santa is punch art with StampinUp punches. The scalloped circle, the 1.25 circle the stocking punch for the mustach, the owl punch for the eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth and pompom and the word window punch. Santa's belt is the Dotted scalloped ribbon border punch.

Embossed Bags and mini milk ctn

making bags and using embossing folders. Well one is a mini milk carton and it is hard to see the embossed stars on the glossy black paper.

Step card

This stamp set is from StampinUp and is called 'Lovely as a Tree'. I coloured the stamps with markers and the top and bottom pieces I stamped together then put at the top and bottom. I made the flower very simply with the 5 petal punch and boho blossoms and a brad for the centre. The sentiment reads 'Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees" a place I have been at times lately, but this card makes it seem a pretty place to be.
