Stampin’ UP! Punches are fabulous!

Who wouldn’t smile to see Ruff pop out of a birthday card or any card for that matter?

Ruff is ready to party! Constructed by using ‘altered’ punches he’s just adorable.  And so quick thanks to the awesome and easy to use  STAMPIN’ UP! Punches.

He is not my original creation but one that I got from fellow Stampin’ UP! Demonstrator Ellen Kemper, the unofficial ‘Punch Queen’ as I like to think of her.  Here’s a quick link to her blog:

Ellen is a true Punch Art aficionado and you will be inspired by her artwork so drop by her blog and see what awesome things she creates with her wonderful Stampin’ UP! punches.

Punches used in Ruff were (from top to bottom):

Photo Corners with tattering on edges for ears

Butterfly Extra-large with one wing trimmed and the nose is the Ticket Corner Small punch

1 3/8″ x 5/8″ Oval for chin

1 3/4″ x 7/8″ Oval front chest

2″ x 1 3/8″ Oval hind quarters

Altered Inside negative from Photo Corner punches

1/2″ Circle Cut in half

The bone was made from a diagonal piece of the Curly Label punch

Facial features were drawn with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker

I think you’ll have tons of fun using your Stampin’ UP! punches in this altered art form to add a touch of personality and charm to your creations.

Remember, if there is anyway I can help you with your creativity just drop me a line, meanwhile I hope you’re enjoying your summer this year!

Thanks for stopping by,
