Stampin' Up! Basic Flower Punch Art

Punch Art is so much fun and with Stampin' Up! builder punches, you can create all sorts of flowers.  This is a chart we made in a recent techniques class...  The tree from the Tree Builder can be used as a branch and the flowers can be used flat or shaped to create blossoms... the more you work the centre of the blossom, the smaller and tighter it becomes so you can make a centre!

A Crafty Cat: Stampin' Up! Builder punches

The blossom builder is another versatile punch.  The petals if done in green can be leaves and the leaves if done in red/oranges can be make into a flower...  The 5 petal star can be a flower, stamen or the petiole for the base of a flower if looking sideways...

A Crafty Cat: Stampin' Up! Pansy Punch and Daisy Punch

The pansy punch is a long favourite of mine for paper flower making, and it can be used flat layered, or scrunched, stamped or not.  The Daisy punch is just as versatile in that the colour of the flower and how it is shaped leads to the type of Aster that is created.  The four yellow flowers are created out of the Daisy Punch, not Pansy punch as written.

Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board - Gift bag

The Stampin' Up! envelope punch board is fantastic for making gift bags.  I love hand made gift bags and once again Sherenne showed a small group of us how to make this little bag...

This bag is made from a 12x12" piece of DSP and for details view the You tube video by UK demonstrator Sam Donald HERE... This is Sherenne's beautiful creation.

To make this bag is a little difficult to explain because you cannot score a full 12x12" piece of DSP and it is much easier to show you than explain with words.  This bag also involves punching and scoring at 1.5" along one edge, then 3" on the next, 1.5" and then 3" again.  This is not so difficult but then the page is flipped and the punching and scoring repeated to allow for the score lines to join.  To ensure you have orientated the page correctly watch the You tube video.

I made this one in a class the other day, and really enjoyed demonstrating and making this one. 

 

The butterfly was inspired by Colleen.  Hugs and kisses to you :-)

This is a great gift bag so watch the video, grab a 12x12" piece of DSP and make this little bag - you will be surprised how easy it is to make.

Happy crafting
love
