SF-2023 July Blog Hop - Perfectly Punched!

 

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for great inspiration as we create some great projects lots of layers.  

 ~*~*~*~*~  

 This month's HOP is such fun - we're using punches.  Now I love dies just as much as the next guy (gal), and I love fussy cutting even better.  But when it comes to doing a quick easy card when I need to - I grab punches.  So that's just what I did for this hop - quick and easy cards with punches.

Bough Punch

Dragonfly Punch

Happy Labels Punch and 

my 2" circle punch (not pictured)

Then I pulled out the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (because I LOVE the "Hello" in this set) and the Hello, Irresistible DSP and started playing.  Here's what I came up with - 

Card 1 - Circle card -

For this card it is simply three circles - on one of them I punched out the little dragonfly and layered a piece of DSP behind it, then used that punched out dragonfly to pop up on another circle with a branch from the Bough punch.  Other than that, just a couple layers, some platters, some gems - and of course the Hello!

Card #2 - Strips Card - 

This card basically uses the same elements as the first card - but instead of circles I have six 1" x 3.5" strips of DSP and punched each end with the Happy Labels punch.  Then figured out how I wanted them to lay and finished off the card.  I do have a tip for getting the strips the way you want them.

I just place them on the layer until I get them how I like, then take a picture of it with my phone.  That way I can take them off and add to the layer one at a time following my picture - it works like a charm.
