Punch Class Details (LONG!)

As promised, I am posting details on the punch class cards. You can still buy the supplies for $15, if you wish you could have come! LOL!

The Apple and Purse post is here. For the Apple card, I used the Round Tab Punch and Very Vanilla card stock to make the apple cores. I used the 1 3/8 inch circle punch on the Real Red and Certainly Celery tab-punched pieces to make the top and bottom of the cores. We used the tiny flower from Priceless for the seed part, stamped in Basic Black. The cores were mounted on black card stock, which was wrapped with Real Red grosgrain ribbon. That was mounted on a piece of Vanilla card stock, and we stamped the Canvas background stamp on that in Red. All of THAT was mounted on a Real Red base! For the Purse card I used River Rock for the base with a layer of Whisper White card stock. We sponged Pretty in Pink ink on the edges of the white. The purse was made of River Rock and Pretty in Pink card stock with the 1 3/8 inch square punch, 1 3/8 inch circle punch and 1 1/4 inch circle punches. We stamped the River Rock pieces with the Canvas background stamp using Pretty in Pink ink, which made for a subtle woven look. Then we added a small piece of River Rock double-stitched grosgrain ribbon and a Fire Square Rhinestone brad. I stamped "sparkle" from the Warm Words set.

The Film-Strip card is found here. I used More Mustard for the card base, then a strip of black card stock. To make the film look, we used the Spiral Punch. Then we stamped animals from Wild About You in So Saffron, Ballet Blue, More Mustard and Wild Wasabi and punched them out with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch! So easy!

Here is the Space card! This one was a big hit! I did the card base using Bordering Blue, with a square of Basic Black. Then the planets were punched from Barely Banana, Ruby Red, Gable Green and Bordering Blue. I used the 1 3/8 inch circle punch, the 1 1/4 inch circle punch, the 3/4 inch circle punch and the Large Oval punch! Then we stamped over the planets using the speckly stamp from Itty Bitty Backgrounds, and added the cool rocket from Pun Fun to the side!

I just posted the Frog card but here is the fast link. This one has an Apricot Appeal base, and a rectangle of Bashful Blue wrapped with White grosgrain ribbon. The frog and lily pad is punched from Wild Wasabi. I used the Large Oval, Small Oval, 1 3/8 inch circle, 1/2 inch circle, 1/4 inch circle and Horizontal Slot punches. I used my Always Artichoke marker, Wild Wasabi and Bashful Blue inks!

Now for the new stuff!
This flower card has a Close to Cocoa base, a Not Quite Navy front and the petals are More Mustard and the center is Close to Cocoa. I used the Small and Large Oval punches and that 1 3/8 inch circle. We swiped the edges of the petals in Close to Cocoa to make them more defined, added two silver brads and stamped the center with that same stamp from Itty Bitty Backgrounds. This Butterfly card uses a So Saffron Base and a square of Bashful Blue. The butterflies are punched with the Word Window punch using the Saffron Prints paper. The bodies of the butterflies are the Horizontal Slot punch with Certainly Celery Card stock. Then we used the Celery marker to add the antennae, and Celery ink for the Happy stamp. Finally this Ladybug card! A Rose Red base with a Whisper White front and a piece of Black Gingham Ribbon around the edge. I punched Rose Red and Basic Black circles in the following sizes: 1 3/8 inch circle, 1 1/4 inch circle, 3/4 inch circle, 1/2 inch circle, 1/4 inch circle. We used a pen to add the dots. I don't have a greeting on here yet, but I'm sure I'll add one and send it to someone!
So there is my class!
