It's Saturday Sharing! Making Emoji Punch Art with FREE tutorials!!!!

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.

Thanks, as ever for taking the time to look and I hope you enjoyed today's tutorials as much as we did making them!!
Stampin' Hugs,

and Zoe!

Stampin' Up's Spiral Flower Die and Million and One plus it's Weekly Deals Day too!

Hello there,

So, my card reader has finally turned up so I can get back to sharing the cards I made the last couple of weeks with you again! I had sent these ones so couldn't re-take the pics :-s

I had three birthdays -all last week- so I decided to make the cards all the same just change the colours to suit the recipients. I had designed the first Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana card for my Spiral Flower class where I shared how to make three different versions of this flower including this, what I call "the standard" version shown here where you simply roll a single die cut and secure. I'll share the other two with you tomorrow ;-)

So, here's card #1

 White and Strawberry Slush flowers, 

TIP: I use a hot glue gun to secure my flowers as it's quick drying

 Million and One sentiment, I love this font and really hope SU! make a Happy Birthday version really soon! ;-) Basic Rhinestones add some bling to each sentiment

 Now, card #2 uses the new In Colour Blackberry Bliss. I'm not usually a purple kinda girl but I have to say the depth of this colour is stunning and I loved playing with it, I have teamed it here with Pink Pirouette which is a lovely soft pink

 Rolled flowers, they are so dark it was quite hard to get a good picture 

 and card #3 for today is a Soft Sky and Crisp Cantaloupe version

 Cantaloupe and white flowers, all the cards had leaves made using the bird punch and Vellum card, these are a lovely and subtle way to add leaves and keep your colours simple

and the three cards all together

 And lastly I couldn't resist a picture of all the flowers together, I had positive comments from the three ladies I sent them to but what do you think blog readers?

**Edit to say don't forget to check out this weeks Weekly Deals**

My top picks this week are Gold Vellum for just £7.46 and Smoky Slate Chevron ribbon for £6.19

 Ok, I'm off for now but want to say thanks for stopping by today
