Build A Blossom Punch Art

I normally stamp the images but today I decided to have a go at punch art - I just couldn't resist this sweet little dress made from flower petals and the tab punch.  Don't you just love it?

The skirt itself is layers of petals punched out of velum.  I inked the back of the smaller petals to give them a bit of colour.  The bodice is the round tab punch with the neckline punched out with the 1/2" circle punch.  After that it's just embellishments and ribbon to finish if off.

Great fun to make!

Christmas Gift Bag

Following on from the Christmas workshop, I decided to make a gift bag to co-ordinate with the cards and other items.

I love this little bag and it matches perfectly with the cards as it was made using some more of the Jolly Holiday DSP as well as some Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

The base of the card has been decorated with the scallop trim punch to give a lovely decorative edge.  The handles are made by using the Round Tab Punch and one of the Itty Bitty Shapes punches to make the holes.

The image is from the Welcome Christmas stamp set and has been layered on Cherry Cobbler card stock.

The ribbon is Seam Binding in pear pizzazz and just pulls it all together.

Now all I need to do is find a lovely present to go in gift bag!
