Tuesday Taggers

Hi Guys

Well it is my turn to choose the project on Tuesday Taggers this week and I chose Teddy Bears because I have a bit of a passion for them.

Again I have done a punch art creation. I started with a 1 3/4" circle punch (117405) in Creamy Caramel for my bears face and 3/4" (110107) Creamy Caramel circles for its ears and paws. For the inside of the ears I have used 1/2" (110103) Pretty in Pink circle. The snout is made from a 3/4" (110107) Chocolate Chip circle and the nose is made from a 1/4" circle punch (110844) in Basic Black. Its eyes are made from 1/2" circle (110103) Chocolate Chip, 1/4" Circle (110844) in Whisper White and 1/8" Circle (109967) in basic black. It's nose has Crystal Effects (101055) on it to add a little something to it.

For the rest of the card

I have used a creamy caramel card base (10.5 cm x 14.8 cm/5.8" x 4.1"), on which I have matted a piece of Chocolate Chip DSP. Using a piece of 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain (117384) in Chocolate Chip and a strip of Close to Cocoa across the middle of the card. Punched the card with the word window punch (117406). I have attached a strip of So Saffron to use as a closure. I have placed my bear on top of a Creamy Caramel and Chocolate Chip DSP.

Just to finish off the card I have used the Heart to Heart punch (117403) in Rose Red and then added Crystal Effects(101055).

I hope you like and until next time

Tuesday Taggers - Jolly Old Saint Nick

Hi Guys

Todays challenge on Tuesday Taggers is 'Jolly Old Saint Nick'. The girls on the DT have done a fabulous job again and there are some lovely examples and very varied again. Our guest designer Suzanne has surpassed herself, even though she says that she was very nervous about doing this.

My entry is some punch art. They are boxes of Lindt chocolates that are for spot prizes at my clubs Christmas Social tonight. I have made them in to Santa by using what seemed like hundreds of punches. Seriously though it did take 9 seperate punches to make these. They go like this (all SU! punches)

1 3/4" Circle = head (Blush Blossom)

Small Tag = Hat (Real Red)

1/2" Circle = nose (Blush Blossom)

Boho Blossoms = Pompom (Whisper White)

Scallop Oval = Beard (Whisper White)

1/4" Circle = Eyes (Whisper White)

Scallop Circle = Hair (Whisper White)

1/8" Circle = Eyes (Black)

Scallop Edge = Trim on hat (Whisper White)

His cheeks have been coloured with Stampin' Pastels. His coat is made from a Real Red rectangle with the top corners clipped, a strip of black for his belt and some gold for his belt buckle.

I hope this makes sense to you and you have a go at doing them. If you do, please let me know so that I can come and have a look.

Until next time

Happy Crafting

Tuesday Taggers Week 12

Flowers pretty Flowers

Guess what the theme is this week on Tuesday Taggers. Yep thats right it is flowers. The Design Team have a couple of new additions and the work this week is simply stunning.

My tag is made from punched shapes.

The card stock is Tempting Turquoise and the papers are from the Washington Apple Paper set from the SU! Mini Catty. I have used the Scallop Circle, Boho Blossoms, 5 Petal Flower, 1/2" circle, 1/4" circle punches and moulded and shaped them with an embossing tool on a foam mat. The Scallop Circle has been cut about 1/2" in from every indent and then curled using the embossing tool. The sentiment was created by using Doodlebug rubons and a white gel pen.

The butterfly is parchment that has been glittered with stickles.

Don't forget to go look at the rest of the DT's work.

I hope you enjoy
