This
weeks “Create With Kathe” Craft Class was all about my new “Berry Basket” Bigz
L Die, which was featured in both projects.
We
made a “Berry Basket Flower Pot” Card and a “Punch Art Easter Berry Basket” …
Project 1 “Berry Basket Flower Pot”
Card
The
cardbase for this card is Naturals White, with the card insert either Crisp Cantaloupe
or Wisteria Wonder cardstock.
The
Flower Pot is cut with Sahara Sand {my new favourite!} cardstock with the “Berry
Basket” Die, and then embossed with the “Decorative Dots” Textured Impressions
Embossing Folder.
The dirt is a strip of Soft Suede cardstock ... it is all in the details!
As
the Fringe Scissors were on a Weekly Deal that week, these were used to cut the two layers of grass {Garden Green cardstock}.
The
ladies had a choice between orange toned flowers, which was a combo of
Tangerine Tango and Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock, or purple toned flowers, which
was a combo of Wisteria Wonder with Elegant Eggplant cardstock.
Just
about ALL the ladies chose the first option!
The
flowers were stamped with the “Flower Shop” stamp set in Crisp Cantaloupe or
Wisteria Wonder ink, then punched using the “Pansy” Punch.
The
centre of the flowers are So Saffron cardstock, and I tried out my new Stampin’
Glitter in Gold – loved it so much I just had to order the Silver in!
The butterflies are stamped with the "Butterfly Basics" stamp set, then punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch, and layered, before 3 small Rhinestone Basic Jewels have been added to the centre of the butterflies.
The
sentiment “just because” is stamped in Garden Green ink, and is from the stamp
set “A Dozen Thoughts”. This is the perfect sentiment, as it can carry a whole
range of cards … thinking of you, birthday, bereavement, sickness, friendship
etc.
For
the card insert, the “Petite Petals” stamp set is stamped in either Crisp
Cantaloupe or Wisteria Wonder ink, and a little flower from the “Itty Bitty
Punch Pack” is punched in the darker
cardstock {Tangerine Tango or Elegant Eggplant}, and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel
is placed in the centre.
The
finishing touch is the “Confetti Heart Border” Punch which is featured as
negative detail on the card insert.
Wah-lah
… “Berry Basket Flower Pot” Card done!
Project 2 ”Punch Art Easter Berry Basket”
We also made an Easter Basket with the “Berry Basket” Bigz L Die, with a cute little bow, made with the “Bow Builder” Punch.
Easter is the perfect time to get out your Punches, and experiment with some Punch Art. To get some other great Punch Art ideas, check out Pinterest
This bunny is based on the Punch Art Easter Bunny I made last year …
I used a variety of Punches to create the Easter Bunny, 1” Circle, 2” Circle, Boho Blossoms, Extra-Large Oval, heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Large Oval, Owl Builder, Petite Petals, and “Circles Collection” Framelits.
The little bunny is holding a sign, stamped in Old Olive featuring the “Crazy About You” and “Perfect Pennants” stamp sets.
Wah-lah …”Punch Art Easter Berry Basket” done!
