Punch Art

 It's fun to dream and create new ideas from the materials that sit in front of you.  This blog provides a great example.  


Today I'm going to show you how to take our Country Boquet Punch and turn it into an Easter bunny magnet!  


You can use any choice of cardstock and Designer Series Paper to make this work. Your punch will be used with Basic White, unless you choose to make a brown or gray bunny.  Your choice of ribbon will be the focal point of your magnet.


Adhesives used are Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and Mini Glue Dots,.


Other Tools needed are Layering Circles, Country Boquet Punch, Mini Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Snips, Take Your Pick Tool and some magnets.  I used a magnet sheet, cutting a circle out of it.  Stampin' Up! doesn't sell magnets, but you can easily find them at your local craft store, or on Amazon.

Once you decided your colors, assembling your magnet will be very simple.  Enjoy the video.  It will show you how simple, creative and fun these little things are. They will be great to use for your Easter holiday!  They can be given to others in Easter baskets, inserted into a special card, or place on your refrigerator for your holiday decor!



Below are all the products I used to make both of the magnets.  You can go to my shop to purchase your products, or click on the product(s) below, which will take you to my shop.  Have fun making your magnets!  Happy Stamping!

One Sheet Wonder

This post is about making multiple cards out of one sheet of cardstock.  My video shows how to make four cards out of one sheet.  


The following is what you need to make this card:

Base Card:  Any color you want 8"x10-1/2", scored at 5-3/4" x 4"

Mid - Layer: 5-3/8" x 4-1/8"

Top Layer is 5-1/4" x 4" Basic White

The colors I have chosen to use are 2021-2023 In Colors.  Stampin' Up puts out new In Colors every year.  In Colors are the latest trending colors used to decorate homes, offices, etc.  The new In Colors, for 2023-2025 will be revealed to the demonstrators next week.  I can't wait to see them!

The present In Colors are available until the end of April, so if you are interested in these colors, you will need to place your order right away before they are sold out!  

Anyway, back to the card...

You will want to choose a stamp set that will allow you to use it as a border on your paper/cards.  I used the Decorative Borders Photopolymer Stamp Set.  I stamped the leafy images in the Evening Evergreen and Pale Papaya. Then using my blender pens, I colored in the images with the Polish Pink and Soft Succulent Ink Pads.  

After stamping your borders on the cards and coloring them, it will be time to cut the sheet into four top layers.  Assemble the layers together and add any embellishments you wish. I chose to add a Polish Pink Ribbon.
