Singing Mice Punch art

This is just a quick post on some punch art that I did for a card in a box with singing mice.  Someone asked if I would let them know what punches I used.  I took a picture and here are the punches.

All Stampin Up punches

The ornament punch is the head, the butterfly is the ears, small oval is the mouth, tab punch are the arms and a small circle punch is the nose.  You can use the large and small oval punch for the tail or sometimes a hand cut it myself. 

I hand cut the tooth.  In this picture I glued the arms to the end of the ornament punch since I didn't have anything to glue the arms to such as card in the box or just a plain card.  Just be sure when you cut the book out the it lays flat so that you can put it in a envelope and then I would glue the arms to the book first and then to the card.  Just a little tip.  

Sorry that this took me so long to do this but this spring has been a busy time in the Petersen household just getting spring cleaning, outdoor painting and cleaning up the yard.  Finally, we are getting warmer temperature in the Northeast.  Happy Spring!!

Spring Bling

My husband and I worked outside all day last Friday, raking and raking.  Spring cleaning is not just inside but outside too!  With all that work, I retired into my craftroom and came up with this card for someone's birthday.  I put some sparkle inside the tiny little prima flowers to give it the bling!  This is a side step card.  The birdhouse is made from SU tag punch and the roof is nesties squares for the angle. I used sizzix fence and little leaves. The birds are SU's bird punch. I embossed paper behind the birdhouse with Tim Holtz woodgrain EF. The sentiment is from SU "Love ya bunches"    Punch art is a lot of fun!!!  Never know what will inspire you!
