Punch Art 3 ~ Graduation Owl

December 22, 2013Leave a comment

The third in my series of punch art embellishments is the graduation owl.

We start with the Owl Punch and some Crumb Cake card stock to make the body then Whisper White and Basic Black to make his eyes. The large flower in the Boho Blossom punch was used to cut Crumb Cake ‘wings’ which was then cut in half. Soft Suede ink was sponged onto the body and wings.

The medium flower from the Boho Blossom blossom punch was used to cut the ‘beak’ in Tangarine Tango card stock then trimmed to a single petal which was attached behind the eyes with a glue dot.

The cap was made by using the oval punch to cut Basic Black then cut in half. Then shaped with 1/2 inch circle punch from the Itty Bitty punch pack. The top of the cap started as a 1″ square then trimmed to make the diamond shape before attaching to the base with a stampin dimensional. The tassle was made with Cherry Cobbler bakers twine, then a white gel pen to make the little ‘twinkle’ in his eye.

He was then was used as an embellishment on the scrapbook page.

Happy Punching……………….

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

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
