Punch Class Projects!

Posted on March 7, 2011 by Carol Payne

Punch Class was Friday night here at my house. Here's the projects we made:

This is a cute little card made with the "Blossom Petals" punch and the "Tastful Trim" Die. The corresponding curviness of the Whisper White layer was hand-trimmed with Paper Snips using the negative leftover piece of the Pear Pizzazz Ric-Rac after it has been cut with the "Tasteful Trim" die! The centers of the tiny "Itty Bitty Shapes" punched flowers are from the "Build a Cupcake" punch.

Stampingrox Tip: it's easiest to dot on the 2-way glue pen in the center of the flowers first, then add the centers.

This card is a CASE but with the colors changed from Mary Fish. I added the tiny flowers where she had glimmer brads, and the inside design is all mine.

Here's the inside. These phrases are from "Messages for Mom", a great set that works for many occasions, not just Mother's Day!

I dusted off my sandly neglected "Trendy Trees" stamp set to create the "bones" (and body) for this brave little fishy! His head is the "Small Heart" punch and his tail is the smallest heart from the "Heart to Heart" punch! I CASED the fish idea from Holly, but the rest of the card is my design.

The school of fish all swimming in the background is the goldfish stamp from "C is for Cat","hello" is from "Hello Again", and the watery swirls on the Tempting Turquoise background are from the "Perfect Details" Texturz Plate.

We used a phrase from "Smarty Pants" inside. Each stamper had their choice of any of the cute and sassy phrases in this set.

Stampingrox Tip: Staz-On Black ink gives a sharp, clean look to all your images, and is moisture-proof when coloring with markers, aquapainters, or blender pens!

Tomorrow I will show you the final 2 projects from Punch Class! See you tomorrow, my friends~until then, have a "Stampingrox!" day!

The Very Versatile Petal Cone Die!

Posted on February 22, 2011 by Carol Payne

Last week I showed you the Easter Carrot Box we made at our "Yes, Ma'am's!" downline meeting with the Occasions Mini Petal Cone Die, so I thought today would be a good day to start showing you some of the other projects that can be made with this VERY versatile die!

First, here's a Petal Cone "cone basket" similar to how it is shown on page 15 of the Occasions Mini. I have CASED this project from somewhere, but have not kept track of who's original idea most of these were from, so if this is your's, please let me know so I can give you credit!

Next is a very vintage-y heart shaped basket. I also see Thanksgiving possibilities for this shape! (doesn't this one remind you of a turkey?) I used the "Vintage Wallpaper" Textured Impressions Folder on this one before assembling the box.

Here's a Petal Cone Ice Cream Cone! I used the sprinkles from the "Build a Cupcake" punch and covered them with Crystal Effects to give them the chocolatey yumminess look! The waffle look of the cone was achieved with the "Perfect Details" Texturz Plate. The edge of the ice cream scoop is from the "Tasteful Trim" Bigz XL Die.

Here's the inside. The "spoil yourself today" is from awesome new birthday set, "Bring on the Cake" in the Occasions Mini.

That's all for today! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
