Oval Punches

Here are a couple of cards I borrowed from Bev's collection to show them off! Just look at how creative she was with using the oval punches.

This beautiful daisy-like flower uses both the large and small oval punches to make the petals. And a light sponging of sahara sand gives the flowers that shadowy depth. Wow!


Okay, this card is just all around "punch crazy" (but in a good way of course!). First, all the bunny parts are punched out with the circles and ovals. But this basket is what gets me... The handle is done with punching out the cardstock with the large oval, then punching out the center with the small oval, to leave it hollow in the middle. And the basket is punched out with the new round tab punch from the Spring Mini catalogue, and just folded in half to get the basket look. Brilliant!!! And then add a little marker and you get a little basket weave look. Okay and the great finishing touch are the mini Easter eggs in the basket, punched out with the 1/4 inch circle punch. WOW!



Isn't he cute?!! Entirely from punches again. 2 large ovals make the head and lily pad. 2 small ovals make his legs. A 1 3/8" circle makes his body, and 6 horizontal slot punch pieces make his feet. As well, 2 of the 1/2" circles(whites) and 2 of the 1/4" circles(blacks) make his eyes.

Okay, I think I'm punch happy now! Thanks for letting me show these off Bev.

Have a great weekend! And I just wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who either helped out or donated to the Sooke Preschool's Spring Card Fundraiser last night. We had a great time and everyone's cards they made looked fantastic!

Happy Stamping!
