NEW Competitive Activities Policy Update
Along with
the extension, we're allowing a limited exception to the Competitive

signs up between October 21-November 30, 2013 will not need to resign
from their former business prior to signing up with Stampin' Up! They
will have until December 1, 2013 to decide which company they will
represent and by that time will need to resign from one or the other.

CASEd from Tammy Dunlap at Crafty Tam.
I found this adorable card design by Tammy Dunlap during the Fall Blog Hop that I participated in earlier this month. (Our next Holiday Blog Hop is November 6!) I knew immediately that I needed to try making this cute punch art crow! And, YOU can make it at this week's "Last Thursdays" class!
Background Elements—I started with a Pear Pizzazz card base, randomly stamped with the Off The Grid single stamp in Pear Pizzazz ink for some patterned texture.
The Top Note die-cut shape is from the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper and it's wrapped with a Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding faux bow.
Sentiment—I inked my Itty Bitty Banners stamp (◄one of the stamps ON SALE this week!) with the Old Olive and Basic Black Markers, then stamped on Whisper White card stock. It's die-cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits, then trimmed flush to the edge and popped with Dimensionals.
Here are the punches I used for the cute crow:
- Head—1-1/4" Circle Punch
- Eyes—Owl Punch
- Beak—1-1/4" Circle Punch, one quarter of it
- Hat Top—1-1/4" Circle Punch
- Hat Brim—Large Oval Punch
- Hat Flower—Boho Blossoms & Itty Bitty Circle Punch
- Body—Wide Oval Punch
- Wings—2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch (trimmed into 2 pieces with 5 scallops each)
- Feet—Boho Blossoms Punch
Texture Tips: I embossed the hat with the Square Lattice Folder and the body with the Woodgrain Folder for some texture.
Head Details—The hat is punched in Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake, the beak is Daffodil Delight, and the flower is Soft Sky and Daffodil Delight.
Adhesive Tips: I like to use Tombow Multipurpose Glue to attach the pieces together. I also popped up some of the elements with Dimensionals, like the eyes, beak, flower and body.
Cute Feet—The 1/8" Black Taffeta Ribbon legs are glued on with Multipurpose Glue, then left to dangle freely. The Boho Blossom feet are folded in half and glued onto the ribbon ends. Love those feet!
Complete Supplies List:
- Stamps—Off The Grid, Itty Bitty Banners (wood)
- Ink—Basic Black and Old Olive Markers; Old Olive Classic Ink
- Paper—Sweater Weather DSP; Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Soft Sky, Crumb Cake and Whisper White card stock
