So in the Ocassions mini are a ton of fabulous new toys. One of them being the Two Step Bird punch!This is one of the cards we made yesterday in our Spring card organizer class and because of the bird punch one of the easiest! The hardest part is deciding which colours to use.
We also gave the Big Shot a workout by using the Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit and the Perfect Polka Dots Textured impressions folder. The Scallop Trim corner punch added just that little touch extra! The only stamping on this card is the greeting and we used the new clear mount sets and they are just fabulous!
I do like the new punches, they are easy to store and the guides on them are really helpful in lining up your paper.
The second card is one I did for a swap. I made 21 of these babies and I loved doing it because I love getting to watercolour. I used the watercolour crayons and my blender pens, but you can also watercolour using pencil crayons or markers and your water pen. You can also watercolour with your Stampin' Pastels as well.
I used the Scallop Trim Border (FREE with a $65 purchase) and the Scallop Trim Corner to punch out the rectangle. I found a fantastic tutorial online that helped immensely. The greeting was stamped onto the Woodsheets and then punched out with the Modern label punch. I love that the woodsheets can be used both in the punches and the bigshot.
