Uncle Sam Punch Art

Are you interested in Punch Art?  If so...I've got a treat for you today!  First off...here's a fun Patriotic Theme Card for you...Uncle Sam, using Stampin' Up! punches!

He was one of four cards we made at my Getting Punchy Summer Stamp Camp last week.  Other cards included Tinkerbell, Monkey Tiki Hut & Japanese Doll. 

The mustard panel is stamped using the new Red, White & Blue Jumbo wheel from the 2010 Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog.  I love the look of the Real Red ink on the Mustard...gives it an "old" look.

See below for the "recipe" card for the punches we used to make Uncle Sam.   (NOTE:  The Small Star punch is a retired punch)

 

Dawns Stamping Supplies

Stamps:  Red, White & Blue Jumbo Wheel (retired)

Stampin' Up! Builder Wheels - So Much Fun!

How much fun is this?!  I'm lovin' these new Stampin' Up! Builder Wheels in the Summer Mini Catalog. 

I'm still too chicken to commit to a color combo in my triple cell ink cartridge.  Anyone else suffer from chickenitis?  For this one, I used my soon-to-be-retiring Ballet Blue jumbo ink cartridge.  Then colored in the rest with markers:  Green Galore, Gable Green & Crushed Curry (all retiring).  Add a retiring Crushed Curry Polka Dot ribbon and you're done!

If you want to learn more about builder wheels, check out my Builder Wheels Video

 

Dawns Stamping Quick Tip
The image on the Birthday Builder Wheel actually reads: Happy Birthday to You (which is longer than a standard card).  I found the best way to get the exact words you want on your card is to cut a piece of paper longer than your card.  Wheel the entire image.  Then attach it to your card, centering the words onto your card.  Trim the ends off. 

Dawns Stamping Supplies
Stamps:  Candle Crazy, Birthday, So Many Stars Builder Wheels, Tiny Tags
Ink:  Ballet Blue
Paper:   Whisper White, Ballet Blue, Crushed Curry
Accessories:   Jumbo Handle, Builder Wheel Spindle & Spacers, Jewelry Tag Punch,  Gable Green, Green Galore, Crushed Curry Markers, Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon

June Control Freaks Tour: Newsprint Designer Series Paper

 

Welcome to the June 2010 Tour de Freaks Blog Hop! We are so excited to have you join us today, as it's our one-year anniversary! This month, I'm the 12th stop on the tour featuring projects made with sneak peak products from the 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog.  Our tour is nice and short and features some of your favorite Control Freaks Stampers. You may have just come from my friend Lee Ann Greff's awesome website. 

My project today features the new vintage themed stamp set called Artistic Etchings and an awesome new Designer Series Paper called Newsprint.  In addition, I'm using a new level three hostess set called Occasional Quotes (a must have!)

A little background for my project.  I used to play piano.  Yep...and I was quite good.  I actually started my college education pursuing a degree in Piano Performance.  My talents were in classical music, plus I was an excellent site reader.  Why am I telling you this?  Because one of the reasons I'm loving the new NEWSPRINT DSP is because it has music on one of the designs.  I knew I had to use this paper, but what to do?. 

This time of year brings back memories of piano recitals.  Memorizing music (which I dreaded), dressing up, getting my hair done and of course, a gift for the piano teacher.  With all of the gifts teachers receive this time of year, they will definitely be in need of Thank You Notes (notes, get it...for a piano teacher.  I crack myself up!).  So, I thought these would fit the bill.

 

 
 
Here's a set of four Thank You Notes.  I thought I would make them all identical.  But I couldn't decided on the Crumb Cake (formerly Kraft) or Very Vanilla for the cardbase and greeting.  So I mixed them up on each card.  I'm leaning towards the two in the top photo.

Now - how to package them?  Well, back in my piano lesson days...I would just use wrapping paper.  So that gave me the idea to use the Newsprint Designer Paper as wrapping paper.  But of course, I had to step it up a little.  So I created a quick little "wrap box" . 

Here's the Musical Notes Wrap Box

 

  
 
 
Here's the open view - I'm so lovin' how this turned out.  Anyone out there play piano?

Dawns Stamping Supplies
Stamps:  Artistic Etchings, Occasional Greetings
Ink:  Basic Black
Paper:   Crumb Cake (formerly Kraft), Very Vanilla, Newsprint Designer Series Paper
Accessories:   Wide Oval Punch,  Basic Black 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Paper Trimmer w/Scoring Blade

I hope you enjoyed this stop on the Controlfreaks Anniversary Tour.  Now it's on to the next stop...Lisa Martz!
