Mojo Monday 177

Here is the Mojo Monday Sketch for today.  I hope you have a moment to sit down and create something you are proud of.  I'd always love to see what you come up with!

I'll post some more later today:)

Lattice Die Week

I am very excited to share our Lattice Die this week.  If you don't have a Big Shot, well, you must get one.  I rarely see a card or project done these days that hasn't used it in some way.  Here is what the lattice die looks like in the raw.

And here is a sneak peek of what you'll see this week.

oooo..doesn't that make you wanna stop by tomorrow?  We'll start out the day tomorrow with our Mojo Monday Sketch and I will post my mojo later in the day.  This afternoon is my valentine camp and this is what we will be making.  I'll post some pictures of my camp later :)

Final peek at our 2-step owl punch

I hope you have enjoyed this week with our precious owls.  I thought for today I would share with you some of the other projects done with this punch.  I didn't have time to make them myself so these are all copied photos.

If you want to see the best punch art I have ever seen, you have to check out Ellen Kemper's Blog.  Buy some punches and get creative!!  These were all made with Stampin' Up! Punches.  Amazing!!

Are you falling in love with our owls?

Whoooo loves you!

Happy Tuesday again!  This week I am highlighting our adorable Owl Punch.  Again, I'm not a huge fan of owls, but once I saw what people had come up with, I of course, had to have it.  Here is the first card for this week. I cased this from Michelle Scileppi.

Aren't those the cutest little guys you have ever seen?  I think so!  I'm a BIG fan of punch art and this punch comes with all the pieces to make the whole owl.  You don't have to think at all.  The secret to punch art is shading.  I use a sponge dauber on every piece of paper that is punched out.  It adds a lot of dimension.  I rarely make a card these days that doesn't have sponging on it.  Get some sponge daubers 12 for $10.95 and start adding dimension to your punch art.  Check out my video tutorial from Monday to show you how to make some of the elements on this card.

Supplies: 

Stamp Set: none (greeting hand written)

Paper: Early Espresso, bashful blue, old olive, crumb cake, whisper white, more mustard (beak), riding hood red, cherry cobbler, basic black

Ink: always artichoke (shade on leaves) early espresso pad and marker (coloring stems), white craft ink for clouds

Tools: 2 Step Owl Punch, little leaves sizzlit die, 2-step bird punch, white gel pen

Accessories: sponge daubers
