I'm so appreciative to be able to do what I love-creating and sharing with all of you.

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.

Halloween Costumes

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Halloween Costumes

Boy,  life has sure been busy this last month with a few curves in the road, dealing with my Mom falling, breaking a rib and her collar bone.  Poor thing not fun and very painful. 

But I'm looking on the bright side, maybe things will calm down. 

 Yah, Right!  Who am I kidding.

It's that time of season.

Busy!!!

I have to share with you my Grandkids 

Halloween costumes.

Stpehen's Costume was easy as he wanted to be a Race Car Driver.  It is what he wears when he races anyway, so that was great.  One costume down and one to go.

 

Now my 7 years old granddaughter wanted to be a pink flower in a flower pot.  I have no idea how she came up with that idea, but she was determined to be  it.  Well, you know if you are a grandparent you will do pretty much anything for your grandchildren.

So...She went to the store with me to pick out her material and colors.  

 We didn't find "Terra Cotta" color for the flower pot so she said this tan multi color will do. We had to have brown for the dirt, green for the stem, pink for the flower and yellow for the center.  Well this is what I came up with.  Having no idea how I was going to make this, and with lots of hand sewing later,  it turned out pretty cute.   I asked her if she wanted leaves on the stem and she said 

"No, Nana", my arms are the leaves.

She loves it, and that is what is important.

Love my two Grandkids.

Tomorrow, I will be sharing the Halloween Projects we did in my 3D classes.

 

Thanks for visiting

Have a great day,

Cathy

 

Wooden Nativity

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

Today I want to share something other than 

Paper Craft.  

Oh My Gosh.....Shock.... I know (LOL)

You all know how I love to craft with Paper,  Punches, Stamps and Ink. 

Well......

I have been working on a project for my grandchildren's school Fundraiser Auction.

This Nativity Set made from wood and felt, plus a few Stampin' Up! jewels. 

(As I was making it, I kept thinking it could be made with paper too, don't you think)

There will be raffia in the stable to complete the scene, plus it all stores away in the crate/stable.

 I thought it turned out pretty good.  Hopefully it sells for a lot to raise money for their school.
