Poodle Pup

Hi there and happy Wednesday!  Working on cards for birthdays and other upcoming events.  Found this cute punch art poodle on Mary Rindal's site here.  I thought this would be a perfect card for my aunt who has a poodle.

Scallop Oval = top of head
Small Oval (retired) x 2 = ears
standard hole punch x 3 = eyes & nose
3/4" Circle = collar
1" Circle = collar (punch around the 3/4" negative space to get collar)
Scallop Circle x 2 = body
Modern Label, trim out middle = legs/feet
Word Window = tail
Trio Flowers (retired) = hair on legs & tail
Full Heart Punch = head/face

The square brad came from my stash.  I snipped off the legs and secured to the collar with a glue dot.  The Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper is from the Brights Stack, which is now retired.  (A new Stack with new patterns became available May 31st)

That's it for now.  Hope you have a great day and thanks for visiting today!

It's the Berries...

As in strawberries.  Hope you are having a good week. The card today entails some punch art.  The strawberry is made from the Full Heart punch, which was then embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and lightly sponged with Chocolate Chip ink to add some dimension. The ribbon is from my stash of ribbon from various stores.  (Gasp!)

The flowers on my sample were made from the Trio Flower punch, which is retired.  For Camp we used the flower from the Itty Bitty punch pack.
