Saundra Rega :: SUH-WEET Mini Greeting Cards

Hi There, Peachy Fans! Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together!

I am so glad to be back wtih your today.

For my project today,  I decided to make some mini greeting cards that are perfect for a little pick me up or to use as a gift tag.

These cards measure 3.25"x 3.25".

I cut a scalloped square and ran it through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder.

The fruit is from PK-239 Faceless Fruit. I paper-pieced each one.

The sentimentes are from PK-162 Fruit Sentiments ONE and PK-164 Fruit Sentiments TWO.

Here is a close up each:

As you can see, I added ribbon or twine to each card. I made a total of eight cards, 2 of each design. My plan was to have a box finished for you but, as you all know, this is a busy time of year and time is like a vapor!

Visit my blog sometime and I may have a box for you in the future!

Thank you for stopping today!

Until next,

Happy Crafting!

Janice Wilson :: Getting Punchy With It!

Hello friends!  Today I have a little project to share with you, using 3 punches and some stamps.  I was looking at my SU Ornament punch and thought if I add a Peachy Keen face and some hair it would make a cute face to go along with the lemons and sentiment I was going to use. The sentiment, " When life gives you lemons, squirt it in the eye!" from PK-164 Fruit Sentiments Two was the inspiration for my card.   For the lemons, I used PK-239 Faceless Fruit.  I used the watermelon stamp to make the lemon wedges.  Using Memento Dandelion ink, and a little bit of masking, I stamped three watermelon wedges.  For the squirt droplets I used the water droplet stamp from PK-222 Happy Go Lucky Elephant and the mustard drop stamp from PK-115 Let's Ketchup.  I could have hand drawn the droplets, but I know some of you get nervous about drawing so I used stamps from other sets.  I did, however, draw the lemon segments with my Copics and white gel pen.

Here is a photo of the punches and stamps I used to make the PK face.

The ornament punch was used for the base of the head.  The top of the ornament when turned upside down, becomes the neck of the girl.  I liked the hair on the small angel in the January 2012 Stamp Club set, PKSC-01 January 2012, so I stamped the small angel and cut the hair from it.  I used the smaller face stamp with her tongue sticking out and stamped it on the ornament punched shape.  I wanted a stamp with one eye closed so she wouldn't get squirted in the eye.  Her ruffled collar was made with 2 scallop punches.

Here is the completed card.  I hope by showing you that you can use parts of a stamped image and punches to create something new will inspire you to see the endless possibilities with the tools you have at your disposal.

Have a wonderful day and  thanks for stopping by!

Hugs and smiles,

Janice
