I have shared these projects awhile ago,so they aren't new...but OWH has punch art going on so I though I'd share them again for anyone that would like to make them. They are really very easy to do. I did use my cricut expression on some of them,noted above in the description....but mostly just used my Stampin' Up! punches!! I used the word window,small,large and wide ovals,heart and various circle punches. I hand drew the faces and added and took away by trimming here and there to get the look I needed. I saw the original idea for the sweet pea and ladybug on Andrea's blog....she is very talented when it comes to punch art!!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening! ;)

Rose Easel Card

Hey guys!! Thanks for stopping by!! Well,I made a rose out of the ornament punch from Stampin' Up!. I have seen these around on other blogs and stuff and I thought I'd give it a go!! I have a loyal customer on my Etsy who is always having me do a custom order for her. Anyways,she needed a rose card and wanted me to put a saying on the inside and the outside....so I used my computer for that part. I did modify the way other people have done there roses a bit. Basically the base is the same....but instead of the inside like the ones I've seen....I played around until I could get a 'flatter' look....it seemed too bulky or high to be able to mail or even fit in an envelope...so I just played with it a bit until I felt like I looked OK!! I hope you like it and more so ,I hope my customer loves it!! Here is the deets on the card!! See ya'!

Recipe for card:

• Card stocks: Blush Blossom,Regal Rose,Rose Red,and Old Olive
• inks: Always Artichoke,Regal Rose,Rose Red,and Close to Cocoa
• Large and scalloped oval punches and Ornament punch
• Ribbon from Stash
• Textile cuttlebug folder
