Blended Seasons

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy


First of all I want to let you all know why I haven't posted anything over the summer. I've had many of you ask.  Well, I'm lucky as I get to see my two Grandchildren almost everyday during the school year, but it gets even better.  I get to spend each work day during the summer with them.  As you know Kids grow so fast and I want to enjoy every moment I get to be with them.  Taking them to swimming lessons, tennis, parks... whatever we decided to do that day.  They are my sunshine!!!

I did still have classes and create, but took off the summer from posting so now I have to catch up. So be ready for many fun ideas now that school has started.  I'm looking forward to sharing with all of you.

Lets start with the Blended Seasons Bundle

This Bundle plus the new Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2 are only available in August or while supplies last.  Which I have to say... I love it all.  The images are so awesome to color using the Blends or the Watercolor Pencils.  And the Framelits, oh my... are even better as the stitching is on both sides of the cut out. 

 

Products Used: 

Stamp Set:  Blended Seasons

Ink:  Black Memento, Gorgeous Grape

Cardstock:  Shimmery White, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather 

Accessories:  Stitched Seasons Framelits, Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2

Remember just a few days left to get the Blended Seasons Bundle (149894 Clear-mount) and the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2 (149014). Please visit my online store to purchase any of the products used to create this card or to purchase any of the items on your wish list.

Share What You Love

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

A Special Fun Fold Card

Hello,  Today I want to share with you a card I made for my Specialty Card Classes using the NEW Beautiful Designers Series Paper "Share What You Love."  It was designed with the intent to send to a fellow Demonstrator who is a great friend and is trying to cope with the loss of her daughter.  I wanted her to know I was thinking of her and hoping it puts a smile on her face.

 

Check out the flower that is stamped and fussy cut.  It matches the paper so perfectly.

Now opening

And completely opened

What do you think?

As you can see, it has many layers.  It is time consuming to cut, layer and stamp, but so worth it.

The Designers Series Paper is so beautiful with the glimmer and shine on the flowers. So I incorporated the shine on the stamped flower that is fussy cut on the front by adding Wink of Stella to give it a shimmer too.  I think this card came together so beautifully.  

I am so sad to see the stamp set I used "Garden in Bloom"  retiring the end of May, as it matches the New DSP so perfectly .  That just shows how you can combine the old with the new.

Products used:

Stamp Set:  Garden in Bloom (retiring)

Cardstock:  Tranquil Tide, Old Olive, Mint Macaron, Basic Black, Whisper White

Ink: Mint Macaron, Memento, Tranquil Tide, Old Olive

Designers Series Paper: Share What You Love

Punch: Leaf

Accessories: Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon (retiring), Dimensional 

Please go to my online store purchase any of these product used to create this card or to purchase any of the products on your wish list.  Hurry, get them while you can as many products are retiring soon.

Lots of Lavender

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

Free Sale-a-bration Stamp Set 

Lots Of Lavender

Today I want to share with you a card I created using the beautiful stamp set "Lots of Lavender."

I love the way it turned out and it was so easy to do even with all the added colors stamped.  

Here are a couple of tips when stamping which made it faster and easier to line up especially with it being a photopolymer stamp set.

I first stamped the outline with Archival Black.  I then matched all the leaves and stem stamps onto the outline stamped image and placed my clear block on top.  Now I have all three stamps on one block that I stamped in Old Olive.  Makes it so easy and faster to just have to ink up once and get all the greenery stamped.  I then stamped the Lavender and greeting with Perfect Plum and the bow with Berry Burst.  Done... wasn't that easy and fast.

Products Used:

Stamp Set:  Lots of Lavender, Southern Serenade

Ink: Perfect Plum, Old Olive, Berry Burst, Basic Black

Cardstock:  Perfect Plum, Old Olive, Whisper White

Punches:  1 1/2" Circle, 1 3/4" Circle

Accessories:  Garden Trellis Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Please visit my online store to purchase any of the products used to create this card or to purchase any products on your wish list.  Remember Sale-a-bration will be ending March 31, so hurry and place your order as time is running out to get this stamp set for FREE.

Valentine Bears

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

Happy Valentine's Day 

Today I would like to share with you 3 of projects we made at my 3D Valentine Class.

I love 3D projects, because I can let my imagination loose to create with Punches, Framelits, Cardstock and Inks. 

How much fun is that...

 (If you're ever in the Boise area, you will have to come and join me at one of my classes)

Aren't these just the cutest little bears.

They open with velcro under their neck to reveal 

a small bag of chocolate kisses.

Yummmmmmm!!!!

Who doesn't love Hershey Candy Bars, that is what is in these sweet bears.

And we couldn't forget about these hedgehogs.  Aren't they just adorable. 

I hope you had fun seeing some of the things we made at my 3D Valentine Class.
