Much like Punch Art - taking a different look at your stamp can lend it's self to some fun changes in how your hand-stamped cards will come out.  Ink the Chocolate Chip ink on the Hardwood Background Stamp and stamp onto the Crumb Cake card stock.  Take apart the Hardwood Background stamp with your Paper Snips*.  Separating them allows for this cute 'fence'.  I purposefully tilted one of the 'posts' to allow for a fun country feel.  Accent with the 1/8" Mini Brads - using the 1/16" Handheld Punch to make it easy to push in the brads with ease.

Use the Fringe Scissors and create this cute 'grass' on a 1/2" strip of Garden Green card stock.  Punch these cute Tangerine Tango flowers with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch flower and scrunch the flowers and add the tiny adhesive backed Pearl jewels to the centers.

(*A MUST Have for ALL Crafters - the Paper Snips are super sharp, precision blades with an amazing cutting tip!!)

Stamping.. the Cottage Gardens stamp set is super cute!  Perfect for this country feeling hand-stamped card.  It also ties in with the Cottage Garden Card Kit (makes 15 cards, 5 of 3 designs #138377).

Creating leaves with a punch using material can be a real challenge (or even impossible!).  Here taking the Felt from my daughter's birthday party sleep mask craft (we created custom sleep masks - lol - for her sleep-over).  This is not able to be punched in a paper punch.  Using our new Bouquet Bigz Die (from the Occasions Mini Catalog) and Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine I can cut through two sheets of felt with ease (like butter!!).  

Here die-cutting four of the smaller leaves and six of the medium leaves gives me the makings of a beautiful flower out of this ivory felt.  Note the split on the bottom of each leaf.  These are to be overlapped to create a curved petal.

Start with the smallest leaves and thread onto the back of our Antique Brad and overlap them as you do.  The larger leaves I sewed and then added to the back of the brad and felt.  Using Hot Glue to add a ribbon to the hair clip. Add the flower to the ribbon/hair clip with more hot glue.

This would be a lovely gift for a wedding bouquet, gifts for the bridal party (sorry, my oldest daughter, cousin's daughter and as of this weekend my neice are all engaged - it's on my mind) and gifts for my daughters to create for their friends.

Of course, one has to try out and model this hair bow - lol.  My dear friend has a STUNNING baby girl - an answered prayer - who is full of joy and lights up the lives of all she touches.  I created this pretty hand-crafted bouquet hair bow gift for this angel of a girl.  I loved giving a little bit of my crafting to adorn a beautiful little baby and lovely enough to last her a long time.  Give a little bit of yourself in a gift that keeps on giving.  I love knowing that every time she wears this, a little bit of my love will be with her.

I love vintage accents in my home.  Creating a fun and interesting magnet to add some paper-crafting joy and inspiration to my kitchen was fun and easy to do.  The new Bouquet Bigz Die took my scraps of the Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper and created this big blossom of a flower.  Die-Cutting 6 of the two sized leaves.  The centers are split up so that you can overlap it and create this curled leaf look.  Adhered together using my Hot Glue Gun for an over sized WOW flower.

Die-Cut the Center with the Blushing Bride card stock.  Center using the Antique Brads for a fun and easy accent that ties into the style of the hand-crafted paper flower.  Using my Bone Folder to curl the edges of the die-cut leaves.

The large variety of our double sided Designer Series Papers gives so many options to personalize your flowers.  The Bouquet Bigz Die (from the new Occasions Mini Catalog) is designed to create a large variety of flowers and accents for your hand-stamped cards to gift giving.

Give it a base.  Here the scallop punched Basic Grey card stock is a great base to this flower.  Adding the magnet will allow for it to accent an office or my kitchen!

Accent with the Antique Brads, Artisan Rosettes, Venetian Crochet Trim and adhesive backed Pearl Jewels.
