Critter Week: Meek Sheep for Ewe!

Punch art is such a fun way to create all kinds of creatures. This week, I want to share 3 of my favorite punch art critters.  The first one is this sweet sheep, meek and mild and oh so cuddly!  This card was created by fellow-demonstrator Melissa Stone - and I know I'm going to be making a lot more of these!

Here's a close-up of the punch detail - several 1/2" circle punches and a bit of free-hand cutting.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Thinking of YOU, Laurie!

One of my dear fellow-demonstrators, Laurie, is going through breast cancer for the second time. She has been on my mind and heart SO much lately.  This card reminded me of her, since it is a CASE of her own cute creation.

 This is a Joy-Fold card and that's what I'm praying for Laurie . . . patience, hope, and JOY!  Not because of her circumstances, but despite them.

 The card base started at 3" x 9 1/4" and I scored it at 3 1/4" for the left fold.  The smaller card can be cut to any size you wish to fit your image. The final measurements of this card are 3" x 6" and it fits in a standard utility envelope.

Squares are IN(color)!

I'm on a roll with squares this week!  This card uses the 2011-13 IN Colors, a traditional square punch as well as a corner rounder . . .

The little flower motifs were hand-cut and the seam binding ribbon was folded in half and finger pressed.  I CASEd this from Mary Brown because I thought it was such a pretty way to showcase the IN Colors.  And I like making this size cards every so often just to get out of my A2 rut!  This card is the perfect size for your 12x12 paper, because it starts with a 6x6 square!  Hey, another SQUARE!
