NZSU Scrap Challenge

How many of you have boxes full of “scraps” that you will use “one day”?!  I know I do.  It is so hard to through out all of those pretty little bits!  This week http://nzsublog.blogspot.co.nz/ has come up with a challenge to make a project using scraps.  NZSU is a blog with links to lots of New Zealand Stampin’ Up! demonstrators blogs.  If you haven’t visited the NZSU site before, be sure to pop on by.

To make this card I punched 9 squares out of scraps of Twitterpated DSP using the 1” Square Punch & adhered them to Riding Hood Red squares that I have punched out using the Postage Stamp Punch & mounted them all on a square of Baja Breeze card stock.  More little scraps were used to make the rolled roses & the swirls which were made with the Swirls Scribbles die.  To finish off the card I added a greeting & a few score lines using our Simply Scored tool.

Happy Stamping

Stocking Spectacular

 

What an awesome special we have for this month!  Host a workshop with a minimum of $500 sales & not only will you be able to choose at least $70 in Free Product, but you will also receive the Build-a-Stocking bundle for Free!

Click on the Picture below to see the stamp set & punch.  You can choose either clear or wood mount.  The bundle is valued at over $100!

Now, you may be thinking, very nice, but what do I do with it for the rest of the year?  The answer is use your imagination.  I had a little play last night & came up with the following cards.

This was my first attempt using the Build-a-Stocking set to make a baby card.  I thought the booties looked a bit long so I have shortened them for the baby boy card.

Now for a bit more fun – I love punch art & I had seen a few cards where the stocking punch has been used to use a hobby horse.  I haven’t tried that yet, but here is what I came up with last night.

Off to play again now.

Happy New Year my stamping friends!  2011 is going to be a fantastic year for all of us, I can just feel it in my “inky pinkies”!

It was my nephew’s 9th birthday last week & he is quite a Stampin’ Up! addict.  When ever my sister has been to one of my classes, he always wants to see what she has made, so I thought I had better put a bit of effort in create something he hasn’t seen before.  He loves punch art & I happened to come across a really cool puppy dog card made by Monika Davis.  Please go & look at her site for instructions & some fantastic project ideas.

Mine look slightly different to Monika’s as I am not so good at following instructions & of course I had to add more bling!  I made 2 versions, 1 with a Pacific Point background & 1 with a Cherry Cobbler background.

The dogs heads are set on jumbo brads to they wobble around.

Happy Stamping
