Punch Inspiration 11/30/11

Sorry I didn't get this posted in the morning.  December is going to be an incredibly busy time for me.  I have a lot of projects to complete for the several design teams I work on.  I know that other bloggers will probably be busy with holiday planning and spending less time on blogging.  Consequently, there probably won't be as many quality projects to share with you and I don't have hours to spend combing the net for them.  My daily inspiration posts will probably not happen on a daily basis because of this.  I will try my best but you may have to check back every other day to see what's new on the inspiration post.

The good news is that with all of these projects coming up, I'll have lots more creations of my own to share!  So, please keep coming back often to see what's new!

Baby Gingers

I posted my Gingerbread House treat box earlier today HERE.  I thought it would be nice to make a cute little card to go along with the box.  Since we postponed the Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday challenge to December 8th, I wanted to share this baby gingerbread card with all of my readers.  I've always loved the sweet little faces from the Peachy Keen Snow Cuties set.  It's such a versatile set for snowmen, gingers and people.  I used the assortment size set HERE because I needed the smaller 3/4" size stamps for the faces.  Additionally, I used the new Oh by golly! greeting set.  The greetings in this set are perfect for all of your cute and whimsical projects!  See the tutorial below for my baby gingers card.

Baby Gingers Card Tutorial

Punch the following pieces out of Crumb Cake card stock for the baby gingers with Stampin' Up! punches:
3 Small Ovals (from current catalog) for heads
3 1" Circles for bodies
6 3/8" Circles for hands (from Itty Bitty Shapes punch set)

Stamp the Snow Cuties 3/4" faces on small ovals with black ink.  Add white hilights to eyes with uniball white gel pen.  Stipple regal rose ink onto cheeks (I suggest the brushes HERE). Apply regal rose ink to nose with blender pen or brush.  Sponge edges of ginger pieces with Soft Suede ink.  


For the card, cut 4" x 8" piece of Real Red card stock and fold in half.  Cut piece of Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper 3-7/8" x 2-1/2".  Cut piece of 4" x 1-1/2" Chocolate Chip card stock.  Emboss with Square Lattice embossing folder.  Trim the length of piece down to 3-7/8" (I suggest embossing before cutting since the paper shrinks a little when it's embossed).  Mount designer paper onto card base, aligning left, right and top borders equally.  Glue body pieces of gingers along bottom of designer series paper.

Mount chocolate chip piece, aligning left, right and bottom borders equally (it will overlap bottom of ginger bodies).  Cut a piece of red glimmer paper 1/2" x 3-7/8" and mount over the seams of DSP and chocolate chip card stock.  Attach ginger hands and heads with dimensionals.

Cut piece of real red card stock 1" x 3" and corner round edges.  Cut piece of crumb cake card stock 7/8" x 2-7/8" and corner round edges.  Sponge edges of crumb cake with soft suede ink.  Stamp greeting from Oh by golly! stamp set with red red ink.  Layer onto real red piece and attach greeting to top center of card.  Punch small heart in real red and attach with dimensional.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers that celebrate today!  Some time today, many of us will be laying around in a turkey induced stupor after eating way too much.  I myself am a crazy shopper and will be hitting Kohls at midnight.

I shared this turkey a couple years ago but I thought I would share him again.  If you haven't seen this and want to check out the tutorial, go HERE.

Forest Festivities Sliding Pop Up

I'm finally getting around to posting this.  I created this when I was down in Green Bay spending some quality crafting time with my Peachy Keen sisters.  I don't even pretend to be a copic expert, so I got a lesson from the copic queen, Lorie Souther.  She showed me how to color the images and I showed her how to make a sliding pop up.  This sweet little fox is from a Stampin' Up! set called Forest Festivities.  The greeting inside is another Stampin' Up! set called Hand Penned.  Both sets are in the holiday mini and available through December.  The pretty tree is from a Peachy Keen set called PK-231 Snowflakes.  For the step by step tutorial on making a sliding pop up, please go HERE.

Pop Up Gift Tag Tutorial

As promised this morning, I'm sharing the tutorial to create a pop up gift tag as featured on THIS POST.  When I got my newest Sizzix die from Stampin' Up!, I knew right away what I wanted to do.  The frames on the Bigz L Peekaboo Frames die is perfect for this technique. If you don't have the die, you can make a full size pop up card as instructed on Splitcoast Stampers HERE.  Once again, I got to use this beautiful set from Inspired by Stamping called Christmas Cheer.  Check out all of Joanna's beautiful stamps HERE.  I discovered that the swirly tree fits perfectly inside the Pennant Punch from Stampin' Up!  How cool is that?

HOW TO USE KUT OUTS DIES WITH COORDINATING PEACHY KEEN STAMPS

Step 1:  Stamp and color coordinating Peachy Keen stamps on card stock.

Step 2:  Cut a piece of card stock 3-1/2" x 5" for a template.  Center the die on card stock and cut with die cutting machine.  With the Sizzix Big Shot, use the platform with all folders closed, clear plate, card stock, die cutting side down and other clear plate.

Step 3:  Lay the template over the stamped image and position so that there is an equal border all the way around stamped image.

Step 4:  Color in the little circles on template with pen or pencil.  Set template aside (keep for future use).

Step 5:  Place stamped image on cutting platform and clear plate of Big Shot.  Place Kut Outs die over top of image (cutting side down).  Align the marked circles on the card stock with the register holes on the die.  Carefully place the clear plate of die cutter on top and run through Big Shot.

Finished piece will have a perfect border all the way around!

Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge 28 - Recipes

Our Peachy Keen challenge this week was to create a project featuring a recipe.  I thought this was the perfect time to show you all how to create a pocket easel card.  This easel holds a pull-out recipe which you can then prop onto the easel card for easy viewing.  I have also included a downloadable file for the special recipe card featuring Grandma's Gingerbread.  The other design team members have great projects to share with you all at the challenge site HERE.  Play along on the challenge for a chance to win a fabulous prize!

Peachy Keen just came out with a new line of dies and some more awesome stamps!  You have to check them out!  They also have a 10% off sale going on through November and new release bargains for a short time.  www.peachykeenstamps.com


I used the PK-417 Faceless Gingerbread Doll Large stamp set.  Instructions for the pocket easel and downloadable recipe card is below.

Instructions:
Step 1:
Download and print the recipe card on Very Vanilla card stock.  Following is the link to download the file:

Cut a narrow border around the recipe card so that the final piece is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2".  Mount on a piece of Real Red card stock 5-5/8" x 5-5/8".  Mount on a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock 6" x 6".  Punch a 1-3/8" Circle out of Creamy Caramel (or Crumb Cake) card stock and sponge edges with chocolate chip ink.  Punch a Real Red heart with the Heart to Heart punch and mount on circle with dimensional.  Glue circle at top of recipe card.  Punch 5 small hearts and glue onto bottom of recipe card.

Step 2
Cut a piece of 6-5/8" x 7-1/4" Chocolate Chip card stock for the pocket front.  Score at 1/2" and 5/8" on 3 sides.  Clip 2 bottom corners away as shown.

Cut a piece of Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper 5-7/8" x 5-7/8" and attach to front center of pocket. Using the 1-3/8" Circle punch, punch a semi circle at the top center of pocket.  Cut a piece of card stock 6" x 6" for the back of pocket (I used Cocoa).  Flip the pocket over and center the 6" x 6" cocoa piece in center.  Sharpen score lines with bone folder.  Add strong adhesive to each 1/2" scored section of pocket.  Adhere the side flaps and then bottom flap to the 6" x 6" back piece to create a pocket.

Step 3
Cut a piece of Real Red card stock 12" x 6" for base of easel card.  Score at 6" & 9".  Sharpen creases with bone folder. Attach pocket to easel card.  For inside of easel card, cut a piece of strip Very Vanilla card stock 2" x 5-3/4" and a piece of striped Holly Berry Bouquet designer paper 3-3/4" x 5-3/4". Cut a strip of Creamy Caramel (or Crumb Cake) 1" x  5-3/4".  Sponge edges with chocolate chip ink.  Attach 5 hearts to strip with dimensionals.  Attach strip along top of vanilla card stock with dimensionals.  Stamp greeting (Stampin' Up! Hand Penned Holidays).  

Attach pocket to easel. (For a picture tutorial on making easel cards, go HERE).  Stamp the PK-417 Faceless Gingerbread Doll Large onto creamy caramel card stock.  Stamp onto pieces of Holly Berry Bouquet designer paper, cherry cobbler cardstock and shimmer white card stock for paper piecing the gingerbreads.  Add highlights to eyes with uni-ball white gel pen.  Sponge rose ink into cheeks and color nose with red marker.  Add dazzling diamonds glitter to frosting.  Attach finished gingers to front of easel pocket.  Put recipe card into pocket of easel.

Sliding Window Box Card Technique

I have another fun technique to share with you.  This narrow box card with the sliding window is super easy to create and easy to adapt to different sizes.  The tutorial I'm going to share is for a card that is 4" x 4" in size but you could easily adapt this to a larger size.  I anticipate making more of these in the future!

I was excited to get my first stamp set from Inspired by Stamping.  I recently joined Joanna's design team and I'm so excited to share her gorgeous designs with you all.  The set I used for this project is called Christmas Cheer.  It has 22 stamps in it, several of them being gorgeous greetings.  I love the script she uses on her stamps.  I have lots of snowflake stamps but I think the delicate feathery snowflake in this set is my absolute favorite!  I wish you could see this in person.  I added glitter to the snowflakes and stocking and it shimmers and shines!


Instructions:
Cut a piece of shimmery white card stock 5-1/4" x 4-5/8".  On the long side, score at 1/2", 5/8", 4-5/8", 4-3/4".  On the short side, score at 1/2", 5/8".  Clip away the bottom corners as shown.  Punch a partial circle at the top center.


Stamp the snowflake from Inspired by Stamping Christmas Cheer stamp set using the Soft Sky (retired), Baja Breeze & Island Indigo ink pads.  Punch or die cut a window in the center.  I used Spellbinders Label 1 to die cut the window and the frame.  For the back side of the card, cut a piece of shimmer white card stock 4" x 4".  Stamp greeting in center with Island Indigo ink (from Christmas Cheer).  Stamp snowflake in Baja Breeze.  Add glitter to snowflake.  Sharpen all folds on the front piece.  Line up stamped back piece behind front piece and attach 1/2" scored sides to back of card to form a thin "box card".  

For the slider, cut a piece of Island Indigo card stock 4" x 4".  Stamp a snowflake on shimmery white and punch out with 1" circle punch. Glue onto 1-1/4" circle of baja breeze and attach to top center of card.  Stamp scrap of shimmery white with snowflakes and punch out Stocking pieces.  Punch out stocking in Baja breeze and stamp stars with baja breeze ink and add glitter.  Attach stocking to card.  Slide into "box card.

This card can be adapted to many different sizes.  For an A2 size card, cut the front piece 5-1/2" x 6-1/8" and score at 1/2" and 5/8" on 3 sides.  Cut a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece for the back of card.  Cut a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece for the card slider.
