Create with Connie and Mary Challenge Birthday Card!

Hello!
I hope everyone enjoyed a great Easter!  We had a wonderful weekend together and thought it was quiet it was nice and relaxed!  Caleb flew his first airplane on the weekend!  I was so excited and nervous and then proud all at the same time!  He had some help from Daddy but it was still done a lot on his own!  Can you believe that?!  Pictures and a link to the video are below!  I'm one proud mama!!!

Today's card is a birthday card for my Mama!  Her birthday is on Monday but I had to get it into the mail today so she'd get it on time.  I saw the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge sketch and knew that I could use it to make the perfect card for my mom!  My mom makes the most awesome cards...it's hard to make something for her because her's are always so thoughtful and personal!  My mom LOVES strawberries!

I wanted to do a punch art strawberry but when doing research discovered that I didn't have all of the required punches so I had to improvise and since I am doing the CCMC challenge I needed to keep it SUO!  The strawberry body is a full heart punch embossed with the perfect polka dot embossing folder.  The leaves are one of the flowers from the Secret Garden Framelits.   The stem is from the 2-step bird punch and the flowers are from the Boho Blossoms Punch!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Real Red, Gumball Green

Stamps: Itty Bitty Banners

Ink: Real Red

Other: 2 3/8: Scalloped Circle Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Full Heart Punch, Secret Garden Framelits, 2-Step Bird Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, Real Red Satin Ribbon, Brights Brads, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Happy Graduation

Hello!
I trust you're having a great week!  Today is going to be a very busy day at our house - the boys have a surprise coming for them that they don't know about!!!  Should be good times!!!

Today's card is a "case" of sorts.  The template comes from Dawn Olchefske.  She did a fabulous video tutorial that you can find here!

I decided to add a graduation owl to the inside of the card...just because I think graduation owls are so cute!!!

I like that I can customize the tassel colour to match a school's colours!

Supplies:
Cardstock:  Basic Black, Whisper White, Basic Grey, More Mustard
Stamps: Congratulations
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Two-Step Owl Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch (wings), Curly Label Punch and Star punch (Mortarboard)

Punch Art Castle

Hello!
I hope you're having a good week.  We enjoyed some fabulous weather here in Southern Ontario today.  15 degrees!  I loved it!  The boys were out playing in the sandbox this afternoon - which meant I didn't get a single thing done in my craft room.  Tonight I had bootcamp (again) and I didn't get into my room except to use the garbage can.  Terrible.  Hopefully tomorrow I can get in there and get creating!

It must be punch art week here!  My oldest went to a birthday party for a little girl in his class.  I was super excited to make a little girl card!  I decided to try out a punch art castle that I had seen online.  I found it at Kirsty's Cards n' Scrapping.

I CASE'd Kirsty's design since it was the colours I wanted to use!   I did add in a Happy Birthday after I took the picture of the card then forgot to take another picture!  I'm doing really well this week!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso
DSP: Perfect Plum
Ink: Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette
Stamps: Perfect Pennant (stars)
Other: Glitter, Spiral Punch (Castle) , Word Window (Castle Door), Star Punch (flags), Label Die (non-SU for the middle of the bottom section of the castle).

Punch Art Monkey

Hello!
I hope your week is starting out well!  I apologize for no post yesterday...I got in bed and realized I completely forgot to post something!

I wanted to post my punch art monkey card that I made for my son's lunch box.  Like the angry bird card I found several cards online and decided to alter them all to fit a monkey that worked with the punches I have.

My son loved this card! I hope he doesn't expect one for tomorrow because I haven't gotten a chance to get in and make another little card for him!





Supplies:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Crumb Cake
Punches: 1 3/8" circle (head), 1" circle (ears), Extra Large Oval Punch (bottom half of face, mouth), Full Heart Punch (Top half of face), Owl punch (eyes, nose).

Angry Birds!

Hello!
Are you excited for the weekend?!  I am!  I made a baby card for the CAS-ual Friday's challenge BUT I haven't gotten around to taking a picture yet...so that will be my job first thing tomorrow!

I wanted to share a little card I made for my son for his lunch box!  He loves angry birds and I have seen several cute punch art cards and decided to modify some to make one that worked for me!

This cute little card is about 2.75" X 2.75"  He was made using punches...in a variety of shapes and sizes!
The top feathers are made using a 5-petal flower punch (the petals were cut apart).  The same punch was used to create the beak.
The body of the bird was made using a 1 3/4" circle punch.  The same punch was used to make his white breast.
His eyes were made with the Owl Punch
Eyebrows were made with the Heart to Heart Punch (using the middle sized heart).

My oldest loved his card and apparently so did his classmates.  Today he received a little punch art monkey card which I'll post at some point this weekend!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black. Real Red, Daffodil Delight
Pen: Basic Black
Other: 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 5-Petal Flower Punch, Heart to Heart Punch, Owl Punch
