my contribution to this blog hop is the cup cake punch!

obviously it makes a great cup cake using all the pieces.

it has a cupcake bottom, topper, candle, a cherry and some sprinkles.

 

using it as normal it can look something like this notebook.

you can also use it as a stencil.

get some ink on a dauber and carefully ink cupcake stencils 

now the cupcake punch has many other uses when looking at it's separate pieces.

here i have used the top part to make petals for a cherry blossom type of flower.

 

 i layered 4 tops one on top of each other, cut slightly down and added some pink pirouette inked on the edges.

a brad is stuck through the middle to attach them all and then they are just scrunched together.

here is another flower.

 this daisy is made using 4 bottoms of the cupcake.

i have cut down each of the scallops.

then twirled them around each other and glued the bottoms.

i have added a brad in the middle after some ink was added to the middle.

now for some more ideas!

 here i have made a couple of cards.

one is a xmas card with the 3 wise men on it.

the other is a balloon using the top for a cloud stencil

 here is a picture using a variety of ideas.

bush is top of cupcake

tree uses top, half of bottom and a variety of sprinkles as apples

umbrella is bottom cut as a triangle

apple is cherry plus candle flame

cloud is top and rain drops are candle flames

sun is using candle sticks

  

now my blog would not be complete without some punch art lol

here i have a flying bird and alien peg holders.

the bird uses cupcake tops for wings, bottom cut in half for legs and a small strip cut off bottom for beak combined with 1/2" circle and a 1" circle.

the alien has a top body, cherries for eyes, sprinkles for nose and top of antennae, candle sticks for antennae, bottom for feet and mouth.

Well that’s all from me. 

 i have many more ideas that just wont fit on this this blog post (hula girls, badges, ice creams etc)
