You're Berry Sweet

I gotta get with the program here......my goal is to be posting twice a week, but it's turned out to be more like once a month :(

Ok, ok so I've been sick, busy, blah, blah, blah.  But I have actually made another creation to post here. Another of my goals (seems like a have a lot of those doesn't it)....is to make more cards to give to family & friends.  Especially Thank You cards.  Who doesn't like getting those, right?

This little "Berry Sweet" card I made as a thank you for someone I work with who is an SU customer.  Paper is from DCWV Sweet Stack, Strawberries are punch art made with heart punches, leaf punches, and the leafy vine is from the Stampin Up Bird Punch. I embossed the strawberries in my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder.  The green strip is done with a Martha punch, and the little blossom and brad I had on hand.  I used SU dimensionals to pop the leaves a bit.  The sentiment is from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge (I embellished the lettering with a white gel pen). 

Thanks "Berry" much for looking (sorry, I couldn't resist)!

Angry Birds Birthday Card

A little obsession that my kiddos got me started on last year was Angry Birds.  Since then we've moved on to Cut The Rope...but anyhoo....I've been really getting into making punch art projects.

I got the idea from a card project that a Stampin Up Demo had done last year.  Did lots of playing around with various punches before I came up with versions of the birds that I liked. 

The card was for my husband's birthday.  Poor guy, he's my guinea pig for all my little ideas I get, but he appreciates how much time & effort I put into my little crafty creations!

I made the card with a variety of punches and sizes including: heart punches, circles, star, and my handy dandy Martha Stewart fringe scissors (for the grass).  Stamp sentiment was from a $1.00 clear stamp from Michael's.  Hope you enjoy....wahoo!!
