Punch Happy! VC Blog Hop*Blog Candy
So happy to be a part of the VC Blog Hop. Theme for this "HOP" is punches. My favorite thing to do is make stuff from punch outs. Really had fun with this one.
I used the new Pennant punch to make these cute little reindeer, and then used them to adorn a card, gift tag, and treat box. Stamp sets used: Pennant Parade, and snowflake from Winter Post.
Cardstock: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla.
Modern Label punch used on card.
I used the Big Shot and Two Tags die for the tag. White gel pen added highlights to the eyes, and nose.
Big Shot Box 2 die used for the treat holder. To make the band going around the box cut cardstock:
11 x 2 3/4
Score at 4 3/4 on each end.
Scallop punch used on top of the band,Jewelry Tag used for the word "Merry", and 1/2 circle punch used in center to hold the ribbon. Love that new Dotted Ribbon!!!!!I also used the new Oval Textured Impressions Designer Frames with the Large Oval punch in the center.
In this picture you can see the punches used to create my little reindeer. Isn't he just too cute??????
Now how bout some Blog Candy? I know you want a chance to win some. Leave me a comment on this posting for a chance to win this cute little Reindeer Christmas Journal. I'll also throw in a blank book so you can design your own journal.
For the Journal I used the large scallop circle punch, tab rounder punch and 1 3/4 circle punch. Medallion background stamp also used. Winner will be selected Tuesday 8/16. Check back to see if you won!
