Punch Fun!!!!!!

I had so much fun making this card!!!  I made this awhile ago with discontinued colors but
you could use Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla or any fun color combo
to make this card!  I used the 1 3/8", 1 1 /4", 1", 3/4", and 1/2" circle punches to make this card.
Punch out the littler circle first and then punch a larger circle around it to make the larger circles...
I then used the little ones I had punched out to fill in spots!  The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes!

I love making things out of punches!!! This card uses the 1 7/8' Scallop punch and the 1" circle punch to make the lady bug.  I punched out one scallop in Basic Black and one in Real Red. 
I used the Crop-a-dile to punch out the little circles out of the Real Red Scallop Circle.  I took the
Basic Black marker to draw the line on the ladybugs back...then taped the 2 scallops together...
the Old Olive strip was made with the scallop edge border punch and then the crop-a-dile to punchout the centers of each scallop.  Layer on Basic Black and Real Red and add a greeting and a ribbon!!!
This simple card makes me so happy.  It is just a Crumb Cake card with the greeting and a little flower stamped in Crumb Cake.  The flower is Real Red punched with the Fancy Flower Die and stamped in Real Red with the A to Z stamp.  The leaves were made using a circle punch and then punching that circle again into the shape of a leaf...you can get 3 leaves out of a single circle punched piece of cardstock.  Add a coordinating button with a grosgrain bow! 


This last card is one of my favorite kid cards!!!!  Just take a piece of Real Red cardstock
size 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and fold it in half...place it on the Scallop Die and make sure to leave the fold about a half inch away from the scallop edge....this is where it will open.  Punch out 2 one inch pieces of Whisper White Cardstock and punch out two 1/2" circles of Basic Black to make the eyes.
The nose is punched out with the 1 3/8" circle punch in Pumpkin Pie.
The mouth is punched out in Basic Black with the Wide Oval Punch and then cut down on one side.
Makes an adorable kids card or party invite!!!
