CCMC Saturday Blog Hop - Punch Art

Good Morning, Stampers!

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!

This week, we are sharing fun ideas using punches!

One of the things I love to do with my punches is to

combine them with other punches to create out-of-the-box ideas!

You get more uses out of the punches and a lot more "bang for your buck"!

I learned how to make dragonflies from punches when I was

first starting out and to this day, is still one of my favorite 

punch arts to create. It's so simple and easy and requires

just a 3/4" circle punch and a heart punch.

The wings are punched from Vellum cardstock and embossed 

with the Falling Petals embossing folder.

SU!pplies:

Stamps: You're So Sweet

Ink: Archival Basic Black, Pacific Point

Paper: Watercolor, Pacific Point, Vellum, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories: Aqua Painter, Basic Black marker, Sweetheart punch, 3/4" circle punch

Good Morning, Stampers!

Several weeks ago, I showed you how to make a fox and a raccoon using the triangle punch. Today, I have a cute little lamb using the hexagon punch to share with you! I love how easy these sweet little punch art animals are!

The hexagons were punched in Whisper White and Basic Black. The eyes were punched using the Owl punch and the Cupcake punch. The ears are punched using the ornament from the Merry Minis punch pack (Holiday Carry-over list) and the legs are cut in half from the Chevron punch. 

Here are the additional supplies used:
