How about a little punch art today?  I’m always trying to come up with cards for the men in my life.  Here is one that is pretty quick to put together using a few Stampin’ Up punches.  I think anyone that likes to play pool would be happy to receive this.  🙂

Let’s get started. . . . . . . .

Using the Stampin’ Up Word Window Punch, punched one out of Creamy Caramel, Whisper White and Really Red card stock.

Discarded the Really Red and Whisper White punches.    Lined the Whisper White card stock up with the punch as shown in the picture below.  You just want to punch a little piece out.

Do the same thing with the Really Red card stock.

Cut one of the curved ends off of the Creamy Caramel punch using scissors.  Now you have these three pieces.  These are the pieces for the pool stick.

Punched a 1 3/4″ circle from Basic Black card stock.

Stamp or use your printer to put a number “8” on Whisper White card stock and punch it out with a 1/1/4″ circle punch.

Shadow the bottom 1/3 of the Whisper White Circle with Sahara Sand ink and a sponge.

Adhere the Whisper White circle onto the Basic Black circle and then piece the pool stick pieces together.  Adhere the pool ball and pool stick to a piece of Going Green card stock.

Sponge Garden Green ink the bottom of the Garden Green panel.   This step would be easier to do if you did it before you adhere the punches to it.

Add Really Red, Basic Black and Creamy Caramel panels.  Also adhere 4 small Basic Black Photo Corner punches under the Creamy Caramel panel corners.  

Add 4 silver brads to the main image panel corners.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

Give this tutorial a try or take a look at your punches to see what you can come up with.

May your day be full of sunshine and warmth.

Huge Hugs,

Michelle
