PCS High Tea Blog Hop

Welcome to the Paper Crafters Sampler “High Tea” blog hop featuring our 3D teapot template from the March issue of the Paper Crafters Sampler entitled, “Orange Blossom Tearoom”.

Did you just arrive here from Lisa's Blog? Wasn't her take on this template wonderful? I just love her style.
Don't worry if you just started the hop it runs in a full circle so you won't miss anything

With the current trend of tea images in the paper crafting world, it only seemed appropriate to offer a tea-related template, and that is our newest “High Tea” 3D, teapot.
Now-a-days, teapots come in so many sizes and shapes, it was easy to find one for some inspiration. Here is mine:


I printed the template out on Crumb Cake card stock and then cut out the pieces. I embossed all of the pieces with the perfect dots EF using my Big Shot. I used the Tasteful Trim die for the scallop and rick rack around the base. 
The flowers are made using my 3/4 inch and 1/4 inch circle punch using real red and daffodil delight card stock. I stacked these circles together and added a gold brad to the center. I used old olive card stock to make the stems and leaves. the leaves are punched with the Build a Blossom punch. I added a small heart at the top, it comes from the Heart to Heart punch.


  As a Thank You for veiwing, each design team member will be selecting a random winner to receive a free issue of the March 2012 "Orange Blossom Tearoom" issue.

To enter the drawing, simply leave me a comment on this post from now until Friday after viewing the teapot.  Increase your chance of winning by leaving a comment on each design team members blog.  Winning viewers will be announced and will receive their March issue link Saturday, March 31st.

Now feel free to go back and take another peek at Lisa's tea pot or hop on over to Tiffany's Blog to see her creative take on this fun template.


Have a great day and HAPPY STAMPING!!

Halloween Punched Art Blog Hop




Good Wednesday Morning Peeps, and welcome to the Halloween Punched Art Blog Hop!!!

I am very excited to share my "Punchy Alien Robot" with you. When I first started thinking about joining the blog hop, I wondered about what to make and I started looking through the SU catalog for some inspiration and came across the "Greetings Earthlings" stamp set and thought I could make a robot from punches. So I went to work and came up with this cute little fellow. After I got him made I decided that I wanted to add him to a test tube candy holder. I used a pattern from Lisa Sommerville.

For the robot you will need the following punches:

Body & Head: Key Tag, (retired, you could sub an oval) trim off top for the body and for the head cut in half and use the corner rounder punch to round out the cut corners.
Neck, Legs and Arms: Word Window Punch, trimmed
Claws: small star punch
Eyes: 1/2 inch circle, owl punch
Body Gears: slot punch and 1/4 inch punch
Mouth is an end of the word window
The feet are just small rectangles and the antenna is a very thin strip and another end of the word window, all old olive is sponged with old olive ink.


My next project is a Halloween Easel Card:



The Jack-O-Lantern, the Ghost and the Bat are all made with punches, these are not my original idea, they are very widely done around blogland. They are just toooo cute tho, so I had to try them out. The pumpkin is made from the 1 3/8 inch circle punch and the ghost and bat is made with the owl punch. The bat wings are made with the large oval and 3/4 inch circle punch.

OK let's check out what the rest of the participants have made:
