Punch Art 2 ~ Bear

Here is the second in my series of punch art embellishments, this is based on ‘Bertie Bear’ by Pat Carr (an Australian SU designer)

As you can see the Owl punch has come into play again for the body and the little fur tuft on the top of his head. The arms and feet use the ‘wing’ from the Bird Builder Punch.

All the pieces are cut from Crumb Cake and were sponged in ‘Soft Suede’ ink. The nose and tuft were cut from Soft Suede card stock. I used the Chocolate Chip stampin marker to put on his features and cute little toes.

This turned out to be a very versatile embellishment as I used the him for a recent scrap book layout:

….. as well as a card for my recently arrived great-niece, Isla

If you’d like any of the supplies, to shop, or to get a catalog, please feel free to contact me, and if you’re thinking of joining Stampin’ Up! and my team I’d most definitely like to hear from you!

Punch Art – Book worm

I love to make my own embellishments for my scrap book pages. This often involves pulling out all of my paper punches and scraps of card stock and to footle about until I get something that looks good and is repeatable in my scrap camps.

At least one of my pages contains a punch art embellishment. To help my ‘scrappers’ create their own little gem I create an exploded version for them to follow. I thought I would share some of these in a series of posts.

This little guy featured in the ‘school days’ scrap pages in the October scrap camp. He is made from a series of Stampin’ Up’s circle punches as well as the eyes from the Owl Punch
