These first two cards are what gave me the idea to focus on punch art this month. The snowman face was an ingenuous little card that I cased completely from Dawn`s Stampin Thoughts blog. Dawn has also taken this design to make fun candy bar wrappers, very cute. The white and purple card came out of my desire to try the Tag Punch Star Tutorial on SCS and not make another blue and white snow card!

This card was super quick and easy, but I think it looks pretty nice, what do you think? Here I to wanted to try this scallop edge medallion (Tutorial on SCS) and I also wanted to try making a holiday card with a non-holiday stamp-set. So I grabbed the ever elegant Baroque Motifs and 'had at'er". Oh yeah. and I am not sure if you can really see it in the picture but the center of the flower is covered in chunky glitter. This is actually a mixture of red, silver and a few other colours. It was created when my 2.5 yr old discovered how to open glitter jars...what can I say, chaos was my muse!

Okay now this card was one I was really not sure about, I loved the little punch art penguin but struggled to make it not look like a child had made it...punch art always makes me think of those animals I made as a child out of fun foam shapes (especially when you add googly eyes!). What I am calling the Snowball border on the right was inspired by some photos from our recent SU! regional here in Edmonton. I was unable to attend, but this one photo really jumped out at me, all I knew is what it looked like and that they had used the slit punch to make it. After about half an hour of trial and error I finally came up with a version I was happy with and could teach in class.

Oh, in that last card, I pulled together my penguin from a bunch of different ones on SCS. I did pretty much the same thing with this Santa face...the one thing that was definitely my doing was the sideburns though. It was bugging me on some of the other cards that Santa had a floating beard on his chin and then just the fur on his cap, I mean Santa's a fuzzy guy! I made the mustache with a normal circle punch but someone in my class had the idea of making it with the scallop punch and I must admit it was much better, this is why I love teaching classes!
