Punch Page Swaps

Our Yahoo Group Punch Swap!!!! It is always a delight to receive since it is always a surprise. I made this Three Layer Cake with a Cherry on Top totally CASED from Kim Score (http://www.paperpunchaddition.blogspot.com/). I wanted to use solid CS so I used the wood Big Shot texturz plate for the cake sections. The Cherry has Crystal effects. White gel pen is used to highlight the layers.

Maya made this cute punched Asian set of dolls (she had my favorite colors in mind!!!!) Cute - cute - triple cute!!!

Sharon made this Giraffe:

Carol did not disappoint: she made this festive tree - it has (13) punched and sponged hearts.

Winnie made this so cute penguin. Am in love with the background DSP, too

We all got surprises: Owl pencils from Winnie!!!!

All of us got to make this really cute ice cream scoop card which Maya brought:

Don't you just love all these? Sigh...............until next time girls!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by today.......................more shares tom.....................

My Red Car

It's always fun to get together with fellow Demonstrators. A quick post today. Over the course of this week, there will be many samples to be shared from this creative crowd. When we do get together we exchange 6" x 6" punch pages. My punch page is a red car. I have been getting some "heat" to buy a new car lately and I have been seriously thinking to do so. Let's see...........color: it must be red (of course)............that's a start. I was inspired to make this card from (?) sorry - if I find the site name, I will update this post later this week

Update on inspiration: this punch page was cased from LeeAnn - her blog is www.flowerbug.typepad.com posted on 5/5/2010. Thank you MARY for your help on this. YOU are the best blog friend!!!

Punch Swaps

I had a great weekend - how about you? Met with some gal pals and we exchanged punch pages.........LOOK at some of these great additions! I made this Dim Sum (Chinese appetizers) Basket scene. The Sizzix Texture plate technique used for the "faux bamboo" look: run the Creamy Caramel ink on the texture plate, apply paper and put through the Bog Shot. Using stamping daubers to sponge the pieces with Creamy Caramel ink was the finishing touch. All small pieces were applied using 2 way glue pen.

Closer view of the finished "scene":

Punches needed:

Our Hostess, Carol provided us a uplifting "Make & Take". I chose to stamp a message later. This is a great way to use punches and also lots of scraps! Circle punch sizes: 1-3/8", 1", 1/2". Stems are 1/4" wide. Leaves are from the Birds & Blooms 4 pack Sizzlit dies.

Our Hostess, Carol made this beautiful Punch Page (sorry, girls - she doesn't have a blog): LOVE her sponging using the daubers. Colors used are Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Regal Rose, and Rose Red. This is a perfect flower to be used for the Island Oasis DSP in the upcoming Summer Mini!!! Great job!!!! (Clap-clap)

And here is a closer view of the flower:

Maya made this cute page with Flip flops and flowers - again, a great addition to the upcoming Island Oasis DSP in the upcoming Summer Mini.

Teri made this Boy/Girl Sheep - light sponging on the body and dot impression plate used.

Mary made this Happy Hippo punch page:

Here's another sheep punch page. Winnie made this page.

Sharon made this owl - perfect for Graduation:
