Tropical Leaf Punch Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was this colourful card.

tt uses both the Ladybug Builder and Tropical Leaf Punches, along with the coordinating Tropical Leaf Stamp Set. The sentiment is from the Hearfelt Hexagon Stamp Set, layered with the Double Oval Punch shapes.

You will find the Tropical Leaf Stamp Set and Punch Bundle in the Online Exclusives range at my Online Store.

For the background, the leaf shape was punched out and used as a mask to create the leaves in Granny Apple Green with a Blending Brush. Veins were then added in the same colour using the coordinating Stamp Set.

A flare of Lemon Lolly adds a touch of extra colour around the leaves.

Memento Ink then provides the black for the sentiment which is stamped and punched out. It’s layered together before being raised up on Dimensionals above a length of Gingham Ribbon.

For the ladybird, this is created using the Ladybug Builder Punch. By colouring Melon Mambo sequins from the Sequins Trio pack using a Stampin’ Blends Marker, the seven spots are created. The ladybird is then attached using Dimensionals.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project, I used a new Bundle from the Online Exclusives range.

This is the Tropical Leaf Stamp Set and Punch Bundle.

My project is inspired by one of the pictures from the website when you view these products.

As I wanted this project to be a more neutral and suitable for anyone, I chose the greens of Garden Green, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive, with Very Vanilla.

First, the stems are stamped in Mossy Meadow. Next, a colour flare is added in Old Olive using a Blending Brush.

Large and small leaves are then stamped in a combination of first and generation stamping onto a separate piece of cardstock.

The larger leaves are cut out using the coordinating Punch from the Bundle. For the smaller leaves, these are fussy cut. They are fairly easy to cut out as they are an almost heart shape.
