Ahh, the new mini catalog is here and in it: the stocking punch!!
I just absolutely love our punches!
I am always thinking for ways to use our punches.
Here is one I came up with that I hope you will enjoy :)
My thought: if you put 2 of these stockings together it could look like a sweater?
So, of course, I had to play;))
I stamped several stockings in our new in-color 'pool party'.
oh, let me put them together and see how they would look as that sweater. Well, duh Kris, one of them has to be a mirror image!
So, back to the stamping board ;).
To make my mirror image, I knew I had to pull an old trick out of my sleeve:)
I stamped my image,then used an old solid stamp and kissed the 2 together. This will give me my mirror image.

| "stamp,stamp" |
 |
| "kiss,kiss" |
 | ||
| "mirror, mirror" |
Now, you know what to do,right?
"Huff" on this mirror image stamp and stamp on our whisper white cs.
 | |
| other 'half' of pair of stockings |
Ok punch out and enjoy,right??
LOL...not so fast.
In order to punch it has to be the opposite side.
So, I place my image up to my light and outline the stocking:

Now, I can punch out my mirrored stocking :))

| punch, punch :) |
Now, I put my socks together to form a sweater.
 | |
| sock,sock |
I trim the sleeves and circle punch the neckline.
I made 2 little booties using the same stamp and a little bonnet as well(with the wide oval punch)
I ran all these through my Big Shot and the square lattice embossing folder.
Add pearls and a (non SU!)wooden hanger for my little sweater.

| bootie,bootie |

| sweater and bonnet |
For the rest of my card:
Base is so saffron cs,layered with pool party cs,and a piece of dsp from our neutrals dsp paper pack.
I used our absolutely gorgeous new vanilla velvet ribbon.
And using the bigz oval die and our new textured impressions designer frames embossing folder, created a frame for my saying from our occasions alphabet stamp set. Add pearls,here and there...
Put these all together for my finished product!!
 |
| Finish, Finish!! |
Hope you enjoy!
Until Next Thought,
Kris
