SF-2022 July Blog Hop - Perfectly Punched!

 

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for tons of wonderful inspiration as we play with everything Perfectly Punched!

 ~*~*~*~*~  

This month is all about projects are all about the punches - so for my projects today we are using four.  How fun, and punches are so quick and easy - you might say my projects are for the birds - enjoy!

First my card - this adorable card starts with a Basic White horizontal base, a Night of Navy layer that is 4" x 5 1/4" and three strips of the Lovely in Linen 1 1/2" x 3".  I just laid out those strips in a whimsical way laying a background.  For my punches - I used Basic White punched with the Decorative Circle.  My little bird from the Sweet Songbird bundle was stamped in Sweet Sorbet on that circle, and the wing was punched with the Songbird Builder punch.

I also used the Bough punch for my leaves and the Double Oval punch for my sentiment.  It just all came together so well.  Next my little gift box to go with it - holds a box of Mini Glue dots perfectly.  Start with a 5" square piece of Pale Papaya scored around the edges 1" in.  Cut as shown.

Then I put it together with the box in place to be sure it would not be too tight.

 

Then for the top I used a piece of the Lovely in Linen DSP - also 5" square and this one scored around the end at 15/16" and put it together the same way - making it just large enough to fit on top.  Either side would work, but I opted for the blue to match my card - 

I finished it off to match the card and tied a ribbon with a little base on it for the bird, so it could be slid on and off like a belly band.

And here it is all finished and ready for gift giving - so simple - so cute - so fun!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop July 2022 - Encouragement!

 

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for July 2022 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects and design styles to share with you this month - all spotlighting - ENCOURAGEMENT!

~*~*~*~*~

For my project I chose to use the beautiful Specialty Splendid Day paper - let me tell you - add this to your card and you basically don't need to do anything else - this card starts out a a piece of cardstock that is 5 1/2" x 10" scored along long side at 1", 3", 7" and 10" and then folded back, forward, forward and back to meet in the center (a type of gatefold card).

Splendid Day Specialty has 6 beautiful colors of foil all imprinted with amazing foliage images on both the foil side and the back -

The most coppery image looks wonderful on Soft Suede cardstock - and I used a coordinating color for the small strips and belly band.

In the picture above you can see - I overlap the belly band in the front. That way I can completely cover the seam with my embellishments. I used the Season of Chic stamp set (because these sentiments and leaf are awesome) and Cajun Craze ink, as it looks lovely on the metallics.

"Thinking of you" and "I'm here for you" are two of my favorite sentiments are are simple and straightforward enough to be used on encouragement cards, or most any card. But just getting it in the mail would encourage me :) Here is the inside.

You can probably tell that the way I constructed this card - you pull the belly band off from the top, as it nestled under the oak leaf when you slide it on.

I hope you got some inspiration from this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love any comments!
