Punch Art Piggy Showcase Card :: Kim Score

Hello, this is Kim from Paper Punch Addiction.  Recently, I shared a 3-D style card on my blog that many of you were wanting to learn how to make. To get a peek, click HERE.  At the time, I wasn't sure what I wanted to call it but I decided that "showcase card" really said it all. The center image is the showcase on a 3 dimensional stage.  This finished card is A2 size when folded flat.  I of course had to make punch art to go with it.  This sweet little piggy was created with the PK-754 Critter Faces Medium set and the coordinating greeting is from a retired PKS set.  The little piggy's head is mounted on an action wobble spring for even more fun.

Instructions:
Step 1
Punch the following pieces using Stampin' Up! punches:
1-3/8" Circle in blushing bride - HEAD
1-3/4" Circle in blushing bride - BODY
Modern Label in blushing bride - LEGS
2 Blossom Petals (smallest petal) in blushing bride - EARS
2 Small Hearts in black - HOOVES
Cut a 1/8" strip of blushing bride cardstock and wrap around a pencil or other narrow stick for the tail.

Stamp the pig face from PK-754 Critter Faces with black ink onto 1-3/8" Circle.  Color whites of eyes with uniball white gel pen.  Color tongue with red marker and inside of mouth with black.  Sponge snout and cheeks with blushing bride ink.

Cut the modern label in half and round out the ends.  Sponge the edges of all blushing bride pieces with blushing bride ink. Cut tip off black hearts for hooves.

Step 2

Glue ears onto back of head.  Glue hooves onto legs.  Attach legs to body with dimensionals.  Trim down the  edges of an Acton Wobble Spring until it fits onto the back of head.  Attach head to body with spring.  To cover the unstuck piece of the spring on back of body, punch a 1-1/4" Circle and adhere to spring.  If you don't use an action wobble spring, attach head with dimensional.  Glue tail onto back of body.

Step 3

For the card base, cut a piece of 11" x 4-1/4" creamy caramel card stock.  Score on the long side at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2".  Sharpen score lines and fold card in half.  On the lower half of front, add strong adhesive.

Step 4

Cut a piece of 4-1/2" x 4-1/4" ruby red (or riding hood red) card stock.  Aligning at bottom of card, attach to front.  This is the side view of assembled base when card is open.

Step 5

Cut two 8-1/2" x 1/2" strips of ruby red card stock.  Score at 3", 4", 7" and 8".  Cut one 4-1/2" x 1/2" strip of ruby red card stock.  Score at 1-1/2", 2", 3-1/2" and 4".  Join ends on each strip to form box ring.

Step 6

Use strong adhesive to attach props to front of card base. Add adhesive to front of props as shown.

Step 7

Cut a piece of 4-1/2" x 4-1/4" Cherry Cobbler card stock.  On the back side of card stock, measure and draw 2 lines on each side at 3/4" from edge.  Measure and draw a line 1" from top.  Cut out the center section as shown.  

Step 8

Emboss with wood grain embossing folder (this is optional, I like the real wood look).  Cut 2 strips of 1/4" x 3-1/2" early espresso card stock.  Glue on each side of doorway.  Cut a 1/2" x 3-3/8" strip of early espresso card stock and attach to top of doorway with dimensionals.

Step 9

Attach front frame to props on card base.  To hold the front frame in place when the card is open, create two "stops" for each side.  Cut two 1" x 3/4" pieces of early espresso card stock and fold each piece in half. Attach on card base where you want the front frame to sit.

Step 10

Stamp greeting with early espresso ink on base of card.  Open up card and place against stops.  Attach pig to center prop with dimensional.

Turtle Punch Art :: Kim Score

As I was planning out my project for today, I realized that I haven't shared any punch art in a while.  The sweet little faces in the June 2012 Stamp of the Month set inspired me to create this little punch art turtle.  The papers and stick on jewels from the June Peachy Picks Kit were perfect for this project. To finish off the card, I added this fun greeting from the SY-903 Hillbilly Holler More Phrases set.

To make the punch art turtle, you need to punch the following pieces (Stampin' Up! punches):

Wide Oval (shell)

2 Word Windows (shell)

2 Small Hearts (feet)

Blossom Petals (head and tail)

Assembly:

Cut the bottom off wide oval.  Sponge edges of all shell pieces with garden green ink.  Glue word window pieces at bottom of oval.  Cut wedge from center of each heart to create feet.  Cut off scalloped top of large blossom petal and trim away left side to create head.  Sponge edges of body pieces with pear pizzazz ink.

Stamp face with black ink.  Add whites to eyes with unibal gel pen.  Glue feet, tail and head to back of shell.
