This card was inspired by a beautiful birthday card I received from Cheryl Camp. I had resisted buying the 2-step bird punch.... until I realized I could make tulips with it! Thanks Cheryl! So after my birthday, I ordered the punch and knew this would be a June stamp club project. Each tulip uses 3 wing pieces from the 2-step bird punch. The stems and leaves come from the same punch and the vase is made with the ornament punch (cut the tip off). The faux frame was created by punching two Top Note pieces and cutting the Whisper White on the dotted line. What a great way to use these punches, huh?
Supplies: Orchid Opulence, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Certainly Celery cardstock, Top Note die, Big Shot, 2-step bird, ornament punches
This is one of our stamp club projects tonight. After resisting the owl punch when the catalog came out, I finally broke down and bought it. I loved all the cute cards I was seeing with non-traditional color combinations and especially like seeing Designer Series Papers used with it. I don't have that fabulous woodgrain background stamp so I just ran my Soft Suede stamp pad up and down a piece of Crumb Cake to create a faux woodgrain. Then with the new extra-large 2 1/2 inch circle punch, I made a hole in my "tree" and perched my owl on a branch from the Two-Step Bird punch.
