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,

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.

Butterfly Basics

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

Hello there, 

today I want to share with you a very simple card  that I created using the the "Brick Wall" Embossing Folder and the "Watercolor Wash" Stamp Set.

I have seen different variations using this type of technique and thought it would be fun to try with the ferns in the Butterfly Basics stamp set.

This card was a big hit at my last card class as everyone seemed to like it.  They were surprised how easy it is to create.  

I like it's simplicity and how it can be used for a variety of needs.

Instructions:

You stamp the ferns with Always Artichoke onto Sahara Sand first and then embossed it with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder. Next you ink up the Watercolor Wash Background Stamp with Crumb Cake ink and stamp it over the embossed Sahara Sand Cardstock.  It's that simple, but it looks much harder.  I stamped the "Think of You" with Always Artichoke on a piece of 1/2" wide Sahara Sand and fish tailed the one end and attached it with dimensionals.  I also added Very Vanilla cardstock on the inside and stamped with a couple of ferns. (sorry, forgot to take a picture)

Products used:

Stamp Set:  Butterfly Basics, Watercolor Wash, Colorful Seasons 

Ink:  Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake

Cardstock:  Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand

Accessories:  Brick Wall Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Carols of Christmas

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

Peace On Earth

(this says it all)

Today I want to share with you a card I created using the New Stamp Set "Carols Of Christmas" and the "Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies". 

This is such a stunning card with the different layering dimensions, glimmer and sparkle. 

I stamped the saying "Peace on Earth" first then I cut the double and single trees from the Whisper White card stock before I embossed it with the Softly Falling embossing folder.  I put Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper behind the double tree cutout and Copper Foil behind the single cutout.

I cut out a single tree out of Copper Foil and the small Dazzling Diamond tree is the left over middle part from the double tree die. (I had previously cut out many Dazzling Diamond double trees for another project and could throw away the middle part as it looked like little trees to me.)  I layered the double Whisper White trees with dimensionals, along with the Copper tree   and the small Dazzling Diamond tree. Then topped it off by adding a couple Pearl Basic Jewels.  

Let me know what do you think?

Products used:

Stamp Set:  Carols Of Christmas

Ink:  Soft Suede

Cardstock:  Soft Suede, Whisper White

Paper:  Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Paper, Copper Foil Paper

Framelits/Thinlits:  Card Front Builder Dies

Accessories:  Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Pearl Basic Jewels, Dimensionals
