Very Best Trio Punch Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was this cute Christmas punch art robin on a tag.

It uses traditional Christmas colours of Real Red and Old Olive with Very Vanilla. Along with Pecan Pie and Daffodil Delight for the robin body and beak.

The background is embossed using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.

Next, the tag is created by cutting the edges off two rectangles using the Very Best Trio Punch.

Using the Christmas Classics Stamp Set (on the Last Chance Products List), the spruce branches are added to the Very Vanilla layer. The pieces are then layered together and a ribbon slot is created using the punch too.

A sentiment, using the stamp set from the Christmas Everywhere Kit sits on a layered oval cut using the Double Oval Punch.

For the robin, the various pieces are cut out using the Songbird Builder Punch and stuck together. The eye is drawn on using a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.

Both the robin and sentiment are stuck to the tag and a length of Real Red Ribbon from the Ribbon Combo Pack is looped through the ribbon slot.

Dimensionals are used to attach the tag.

Finally, some gold Festive Pearls add an extra touch of Christmas bling.

This week’s Finishing Up Friday uses leftover pieces from this recent Card & (Your) Cuppa project.

To begin with, I shaped the edge of my cardstock pieces using the Very Best Trio Punch from the July-December Mini Catalogue.

Next, I stamped an image from the Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set and coloured the leaves with my Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad and a Blender Pen.

An additional large flower shape was cut out using the same Flowers & Leaves Punch. All of the flower shapes were then given some colour on the edges using a Mango Melody Ink Pad and Sponge Dauber.

The flower pieces were curled with a Paper Folder and layered together in pairs with a Glue Dot and stuck to each stem.
