Penguin Punch Art Projects

We had fun last night with our Penguin Punch art and look at what we created with them. We have a card which I guess will be one of my cards this Xmas. We also made some Treat Cup goodies! The cups fit perfectly in front of these cutesies. All I did was adhere them in front of the penguins with M&M mints inside. Aren't they so cute! No need for complicated paper backing or openings behind. I found that it's easy to peel the cups from the Penguin without tearing them. They adhere back onto the penguin after the goodies are gone. Sooo Cool!!!

Christmas Cards - Embossing Part 2

Helloooo!!! It's time again for new cards. This group of cards were more like proto-types but it all came out so pretty that I decided to make them all. You may pick and choose which looks better but I think it can all be lovely Xmas card giveaways. It's so interesting how different it looks in just one element adjustment.
In fact, texture embossing is my favorite technique of all. It's just the best thing SU! ever invented. LOVE ITTTT!!!

These cards measure 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and will fit an A2 envelope. The very vanilla cardstock was cut at 4" x 5-1/4". I had to emboss 2 Very Vanilla CS with 2 textured embossing folder seperately. Then cut them in half to combine them on the card. Cover the middle part with the Bigz Tasteful Trim and you're set to embellish your card!

Gingerbread Punch Art Treat

Growing up as a kid, I loved treats my mom made. However, there where other goodies that I never could resist. When I found these treats again in the grocery aisle, it just brought back childhood memories with my siblings. Whenever we had this at home, we would grab them like chipmunks to a nut and hid them :) Hiding some so we would save some for later. If one finished their share, sorry for you, you can't have mine.

Anyway, I'm talking about Ding Dong's by Hostess! I took a bite and it literally time-warpped me back when I was 10. This was the perfect treat size for my 2-1/2" circle punch #120906. And they're already individually foil-wrapped! That's awesome!



This project was also made in my workshop with Judy and friends last night. It was a fun evening with them and we intend to do it again. I taught them the Designer Tote Box, Santa Matchboxes and these Gingerbread Punch Art Treat. Really pure fun! Judy makes really good mashed potatoes that had cheese and bacon..mmmmmm. Thanks for the dinner Judy. Not to mention the tri-tip and the roast chicken... fantastic.

Supplies Used:
- 2-1/2" circle punch #120906 (for the head)
- Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack #118309 (circle shape for the eyes)
- Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die #120893 (for the head band)
- 1-3/4" Circle punch # 119850 (for the smile)
- Heart to Heart Xl punch #119881 (for the cheeks)
- 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Real Red #109034
- Stamping sponge #101610 (to sponge whisper white ink onto the edges)
- Whisper White Ink Pad #101731 (Craft)

Very easy project for beginner crafters. Your kids would love to make them too :) Make them as ornaments or gift tags and watch your friends in awe.
