Punch Fun Idea...

So for my {PUNCH FUN IDEA} today I am happy to share (2) ideas I got from friends of mine. Then taking the (2) ideas...I melded them together to create my HOLIDAY TREE ornaments for Easter. These cute punch animals were created by Mary Fish and if you click HERE...you can view her post on them. I actually took her idea and made mine into 3"x 3" cards for my club members this month.

Above you will see a darling Easter Egg and spring chick made by friend and upline, Sue Brown. Sue doesn't have a blog...but make sure to leave a comment on this post so she'll se them!
So this is a picture of my HOLIDAY TREE already for spring!

I took the Scallop Oval Die for the Big Shot and also used my punches to re-create Mary's punch animals. I used the Large Oval Punch and some thread to create the hanging effect.

Here you can see the chick.

I also took Sue's idea for the egg. I used the center of the Scallop Oval Die and made Easter eggs with it. I used the scallop parts and cut them for my decorations on my eggs.

I simply added some ribbon, buttons, punched flowers with Rhinestones on the eggs. Then I hung them all on my HOLIDAY TREE. I hope you'll pull out your punches, and Big Shot & Dies and create something fantastic for the Easter Holiday.

I had so much fun creating these ornaments by using two of my friends ideas!

A BIG thanks to Mary & Sue for sharing their talented ideas.

NOTE: Make sure to stop by Friday to see a tutorial on how to create the chick inside the egg!

Sunday Share...

Today I have a card that I wanted to share with you. This was our Make-N-Take card courtesy of Linda Smith at our Southwest Demonstrator Card Swap this past Tuesday. I love how she used the {Baby Blossoms} set from the Mini Ocassions Catalog on page 14. We also used the {Big Shot} and the {Square Lattice} Embossing Folder.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Wednesday's Card or Scrapbook Share...

I have a 12x12 "FALL" themed page to share with you today. I used the LEAVES #2 ORDIGINAL DIE & my BIG SHOT MACHINE along with the PERFECT POLKA DOTS & ELEGANT LINES EMBOSSING FOLDERS to add some texture and design to the leaves.

Not only did I use them on my page...but I also added them to my holiday theme tree!

I have a simple, but cute gift tag that will spice up any holiday gift. I used the BIG SHOT & the NORTHERN FLURRY EMBOSSING FOLDER with RUBY RED CS. I used the CRAFT WHITE INK PAD and rubbed it over the embossed snowflakes to highlight them. I also used CRUMB CAKE & TEXTURED BAJA BREEZE CARD STOCK. The designer paper came from the SUBTLES DESIGNER PAPER STACK.
