A big hello and welcome
to my friends from nearby or far away
come and see what the crafty cow has to show you today!
We are a bunch of Stampin Up demonstrators from
New Zealand and Australia who love our Stampin Up punches.
We have gotten together to showcase a selection of the punches
you can purchase from Stampin Up.
We know we will inspire you and encourage you to use those punches
in new and beautiful ways.
Please leave a comment and let us know what you think
to go in the draw to win some yummy scrummy punch art blog candy
(offer not available to su demos-sorry chooks!).
i am here to showcase 3 of our very cool punches
boho blossoms punch
5-petal flower xl punch
jewelry tag medium punch
here is a teeny tiny selection of things you can make with them
please scroll on down below for more details
the boho blossoms punch is quite a versatile punch.
you may initially think...meh it's flowers...and you would be right!
but you can make oodles of things from it.
above are just a few ideas
going from left to right there are
-layer all 3 one on top the other to get a 3d flower effect
-just use them as individual flowers
-double punch them
:please note this is not for the impatient or faint hearted
and involves a fair amount of what i like to call faffing about!!!
-cut them up and use them as candle flames, animal paws, crowns,
clouds, love hearts, or carrots to name a few

| these cute little hairclips were made using the boho punch |
|
 |
| simply layer the different flowers on top of each other and stick a brad in them. |
 |
| attach the brad to the back of the hairclip and glue permanently with crystal effects |
 |
| another idea is to stick the flowers to a tea light (tombow is the best for this), add some bling and pearls, and a fake candle |
the next punch is the jewellry tag medium.
it's obvious use is those very cute little tags you see all aorund the www.
but did you know you can also stretch the tag out to make it longer?
or even punch both ends to make a fancy word window or arms with cute baby hands
here the jewellry tag has been used as a body for a beautiful butterfly-just roll the edges around and stick a bit of dimensional to make it really stand out from the wings.
the wings by the way, have been made from the 5-petal flower punch which i will show you shortly!
on this simple card the tag punch has been used as the body of a candle
with a petal from a boho blossom flower used as the flame
with this little card i cut off a tiny bit of the top from the tag and turned it into a vase
with a stroke of watercoloured baja breeze for shading.
i added some of our beautiful flower brads to finish it off
finally i want to show you the 5 petal flower punch.
yes...yes...another flower punch lol!!!
a few different ways to use these are ...
-cut up into 5 peices to make a leaf
-double punch to make a smaller flower
to make this clip you will need 3 flowers.
then rub them with your bone folder until the paper separates and pull them apart.
you should end up with 6.
layer them and stick together with a brad
attach the brad to the clip through the middle and then bend it around the side
otherwise it will annoy the heck out you when you take it out of your hair lol!!!!
a simple idea for a christmas garland for the tree is the flower with a hole punched through the middle and a ribbon threaded through.
mine is really short but imagine a lovely long one drapped around your tree.
and it is eeeeeasy-the kids can do it!!!!
finally, an idea for the double punched flower.
i love using it for any sunflowers i want to make.
just add a double punch large boho blossom to the middle.
i have coloured mine in with daubers and ink
i added it to this lovely mini album
and added matching ribbons and dsp to match it.
so is your head spinning?
are you ready to head off and try some of these ideas?
feel inspired?
