A Birthday Princess Wand

A little break from Christmas items today.  My daughter turned 6 at the beginning of the month and I wanted to share something I made for her.  Last year I made her a crown that I will have to take pictures of to share with you.  This year I made her a Fairy Princess Wand.  She loves all things princess and fairy so what better gift that a magical wand!




All materials are retired Stampin' Up! products plus a dowel for the handle.  This came together super easy, just two layers of paper rosettes and butterfly die cuts with a bit of glitter for sparkle!  I also added ribbon to add movement.  All in all, I love it!  Sofia did too!
Here's the wand with the birthday card made to match.






Sofia loved her Fairy Princess Tea Party and wand.  It was a fun birthday party! 

I will be back to Christmas next post, I have tags and cards to share with you.  Hope you are enjoying the Holiday Season!

Here Come the Penguins!

I made some new penguin magnetic clothes pins to show you plus a couple other penguins I made last year.
Here's the group together.


I think they are pretty darn cute! Who doesn't love a penguin?! First, here are close ups of the clothes pin clips that I am officially obsessed with making....






I just love theses clips!  The penguins are too cute and I am using up scraps of designer paper that I hoard...um I mean save.. and putting them to good use!

I also have a couple penguins from last year to show closer up.   First is the same owl punch art penguin turned into a pencil holder.  This is a great seller at the craft shows for me.


Second penguin from last year is made from the top note die cut.  I had note cards tucked in the box last year, but this year I think I might want to find a cute way to package the clothes pins clips in there.




Hope you like my penguins as much as I do!!  Be sure to check back, I've got git tags in the works to show you!

More Punch Art Cards

I was going to share my Penguin clothes pin magnets, but I forgot to take pictures before sending them to the bookstore to sell :-(   So I will have to make another set and take pictures so I can show you how stinkin' cute they are!!  Instead, I will show you a couple more punch art cards of Santa and Rudolph.

First is Santa with the Top Note die cut as the background.  Ya think I like the top note die??  I have used it on about half of my cards...  Anyway, I really love the Santa so here is another card featuring him.


And here is another card featuring Rudolph, I love the way this turned out!  What do you think?







The new scoring tool is so great! Makes the lollies so much easier to make! I think this is my favorite card right now....just too cute!  Check back for more Christmas ideas! See you soon!

Clothes Pin Magnets

I am loving these clothes pin magnets!  I did a post awhile back with flowers.  This time it's Christmas theme magnets.  So far I have done Rudolph and penguins.  I am super addicted to making these...so there will be more to come!  Rudolph is first...aren't they cute!!  I am trying to use designer series paper that is retired so this project was perfect for that!


Here they are all packaged up.




I have these at Chapters Bookstore for sale along with Christmas cards I have been working on.  I will show you the penguin clips next, so be sure to check back!!

Punch Art Penguins

I have more punch art to share..this time it's penguins!  I love the owl punch for its versatility. Not only does it make a great reindeer, but it makes a great penguin!




This is such a great card, very quick to put together.  The card uses two embossing folders (I love those embossing folders!) and a simple greeting.  It couldn't be easier!!  I also made some great clothes pin magnets with the penguin and the reindeer.  Very cute Christmas gifts for teachers or anyone else for that matter!  That will be for next time, so be sure to check back in two days!!

Christmas Punch Art

I am a huge fan of punch art, so I had to have punch art Christmas cards!  These cards are from a stamp-a-stack I did at Chapters Bookstore on Wednesday. We had a great time and everyone loved their cards!
First is Rudolph, he is too cute!  Last year I made jumbo paper clip book marks with him.   This year I made cards.  I used the Snow Burst embossing folder (my new favorite) and the Top Note die cut.  Rudolph is made using the owl punch...super easy!




Next is none other than Santa!  I love the punch art Santa!! I have seen lots of variations, this is the one I chose to do.


Everything is current except the greeting.  It's an older set, but it was perfect for this card!!  This card uses three different embossing folders...I love my Big Shot!

Finally, we have a snowman.  He is a cutie too! Used the Snow Burst embossing folder again, it just adds such great dimension!


I hope you are inspired to pull out your punches for some Christmas punch art!! I had such a great time making these cards....I have a couple more cards to show with Rudolph and Santa...plus some 3D punch art projects as well.
