PUNCH ART #3

With only 16 days before September (the unofficial kickoff to Fall), it just seemed right to include a SCARY SPIDER in our Punch Art lineup.  Yikes!

DESIGN NOTE:  I ran the "EEK" through the (new from the Holiday Mini) Embossing Folder then cut it to fit perfectly in the spider's web.  Now it's stuck there and could be Mr. Spider's next meal.

(Here's a clue about Monday's Punch Art #3... "EEK!")

VIRTUAL PUNCH ART ALBUM...

When the local stampers who have pre-registered for the ABSOLUTELY AMAAAAZING PUNCH ART ALBUM CLASS arrive tomorrow evening, they are in for a real treat!  I don't want to give away too many secrets today, but since some of this has previously appeared on the World Wide Web (my August 9th post), I'll go ahead and share a few details so YOU can get started...

The #119833 6" x 6" Designer Printed Polka-Dot Album is perfect for this project.  (Actual outside dimensions are 8-1/2" x 7-1/4".)  It comes with 10 sheet protectors and may be expanded for dozens of punch art pages.  The cost is $10.95, but only available while supplies last and/or until August 31st when the Summer Mini Catalog retires.  I added the optional ribbon for extra flair.  #115618 1-1/4" Old Olive Striped Grosgrain.  Cost is $9.95.

 

 

Next, you'll need pages.  I recommend #119952 Whisper White 12" x 12" Card Stock.  Cost is $6.95 for a package of 6 smooth and 6 textured sheets.  If you cut the 6 smooth pages in quarters, you will have 24 pages for your Punch Art Album.  Cost of each 6" x 6" page is only 14 cents plus S&H.  Save the textured card stock for your scrapbook and/or other special projects.

 

It's classy to include a cover page for ANY album!  You can doll-up your punch art cover page, but I kept this one simple.  Less can be more.

 

 

The intricate parts and pieces of punch art are easily adhered with the #110775 Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Cost is just $3.95.  I'm careful with my container of glue, keeping the tip clean and the lid on when not in use.  It lasts and lasts.

 

Making art with your punches is a perfect way to use your scrap pieces of card stock!

 

 

I highly recommend the purchase of PUNCHES!  It's fun to collect them over a period of time.  Punches are a quick and easy way to add interest, dimension, accent and color to your cards, gifts, bags, tags and dozens of other artsy things!  Fifty-one (that's 51) punches (wow) are pictured on pages 200-203 in the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog, and range from $5.95 to $17.95.
