Hello!
I'm a bit late today so sorry about that - but as the saying goes, better late than never! ;-)
I have a super cute set of PL cards to share with you today, as you know I like to credit my original inspiration and for these I want to credit my beautiful daughter! She came to me the other day and suggested we make some Emoji cards and I immediately knew punch art was going to be the way to do it, so thanks Zoe! We had a blast in the craft room together last week with our phones, ink and some card to make these....
I've mounted mine onto home made Project Life die cut cards so they are approximately 3" x 4" or 10cm x 7.5cm. That way I can use them as toppers for last minute cards or they can be used in PL layouts too, of course. All the sentiments and decoration you see on them are made using the Age Awareness stamp set.
Here are the designs all together...
LOL!
Sad face...
Love You!
Say Cheese!
Be Happy...
And these are the two Zoe made - already mounted onto Cards and ready to go.
So, I also made a tutorial for you so you can make your own EMOJI Punch Art :-D
As ever, please feel free to "CASE" these ideas but I do ask that you post a link back to here if you share these or your own makes online, on a blog or social media. Please do not copy this, or other tutorials and ideas found here, for publication, competitions or pass them off as your own ideas. Thanks in advance xx
OK, enough with the grumpy talk, let's go make some Emjoi!
A few Top Tips:
1) When I say 5th smallest I mean to count from the smallest out to get to the number 5 framelit (or 4th).
2) I inked the edges of the mouth of the LOL Emoji with Crumb Cake ink using a sponge.
3) All the emojis were inked heavily around the outside edge with Pink ink and a sponge.
4) The warm blush was made using pink ink and a sponge dauber.
5) Add the mouths first to get good placement of said blush.
5) To make the half eyes (on LOL and both smiley faces) punch a half circle away from the edge of Espresso card, then move the punch up to make the half eyes. It's much easier to do this than trying to punch a section away from a full circle. Same with the mouths.
7) To shorten the Word Window punched shape for the Cheese emoji; punch the full word window and feed one end back in from the underside, trim to desired length using the punch.
8) Always add the crystal effects at the very end of making and leave flat to dry.

Very, very clever to think of these. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow love these, a fab addition to cards or memory albums! I WILL be Casing and I promise to link back you deserve the credit for these! Ooh just thought if you put them on a spinner card they'd move like they do on my instant messaging service!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like them! And I really appreciate you taking time to comment :-) These lil' guys will have sooooo many uses and the designs are endless. I can see a lot of use for them :-) Don't forget to show me your makes too ;-)

Oh my gosh! I absolutely love these 😍 Fab idea!
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose you have a tutorial or even better a printable template for the cheeky winking emoji with its toungue out by any chance? (I did have a look through your blog, but I could only find a picture of the lovely card you made with that emoji you see)

Hi Hannah,
DeleteThanks for your comments! I don't have another tutorial for the emoji you asked about, sorry. It's the same principal as all the others though! They all use the same punches - you just need to play about with the facial expressions! Let me know how you get on!
Hugs xx
