Summer Sunflowers

I have another cute card for you today from our meeting last weekend. This one was created by my friend Pam. I just love what you can do with punches, and this card is a great sample. It was made using 6 different punches.

The Scallop Circle, and the 1-1/4" Circle Punches create adorable sunflowers. The centers were made by stamping the polka dot design from Itty Bitty Backgrounds on Chocolate Chip cardstock, and then punching out the circle. Use your Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere your centers. Lightly sponge the edges of the scallops to add a little more depth. I snipped each scallop to create the petals. The Large Oval Punch was used to make both the leaves and the stems. Trim the oval to make the leaf shape, fold it in half and then run it through your Crimper for a perfect leaf. Use the Tag Punch to create the vase, and remember, stamp the design first, before punching it out. Use the Scallop Edge Punch for the grass. Stamp your sentiment, this one is from the Hostess set in the current catalog, Sweet Little Sentiments, and punch it out with the Word Window Punch.

There you have it! A really cute card made entirely with punches. There are so many projects you can create using all of the great punches SU has to offer. Watch in the weeks to come for some more fun ideas.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today!
