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...

 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.

Using Stampin' Up's Your Perfect Day to make a Wedding Card


Hello!
I hope this post finds you well? I have a wedding card to share with you today. I had a little play with a set that (unfortunately) hasn't made it into the new catty "Your Perfect Day" so if you love this set - even half as much as I do - then don't forget to place your order before 2nd June ;-)
OK, lets get onto the card. I used a (sadly retired) Crisp Cantaloupe with a Brushed Gold colorway to make this...

 I heat embossed these wreaths from the set using Versamark and gold powder adding punched paper flowers (see THIS VIDEO for how to cup your flowers) to just one.
 This sweet sentiment is also included in the set
 with a sprinkling of pearls to decorate
 I stamped off the wreaths inside and added a "full strength" sentiment over the top ;-_
 And the envelope was decorated too! I really went the extra mile with this one didn't I? ha ha!
 and one final photo to finish <3 p="">
Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's card and if you choose to make one yourself don't forget to share this post too :-)
Thanks for stopping by today!

Five Days of Stampin' Up! Note Cards; Day Five. Using Butterfly Basics PLUS Two Bonus Note Card Keeper Box Designs.

Hello and welcome to the last day-  Day Five - of my note card series! 
Today's card uses the crumb cake note cards and Butterfly Basics stamps with the masking technique. This technique was also used in my VIDEO for the card keeper box if you want to see me demo it :-)
OK, lets look at this card...
 I stamped the butterfly first before masking and adding the leaves and honeycomb from the set.
BTW: Do you like my new watermark? I was having a play around last night after work and made it ;-) 
 Anyway, I added the Linen thread with a stapler then topped it with this sentiment - from the Treat Bag thinlits die set - using glue dots then coated in crystal effects for maximum shininess :-)
 And here are the other two designs for the Note Keeper Box that I promised photographs of in my VIDEO last week. Obviously the one I made for the video matches today's card ;-)
Here is the one we made in class, this one is Strawberry Slush but the ladies had a choice of retiring in Colours all with Gorgeous Grunge decoration.
And some more photos of these new designs. All the measurements for box and the DSP can be found on THIS POST - under the video :-)
Right, that's all from me today. I've been trying to get this post finished for a couple of hours now so I'm just gonna publish and hope I haven't missed anything!! Lol.
I hope you have enjoyed this mini series and to see all the posts in this 
Thanks for looking today,
Stampin' Hugs,
