Little Chef Punched Art Scrapbook Page
Welcome to the first 2010 VC Rocks Bloghop.. you’ve most likely arrived here from www.stampinldyglfr6
I had the extreme pleasure of creating scrapbooks with a group of Brownie Scouts. As a mother of three boys, this was a dramatic change from my usual environment! It was lots of fun, and I think they really enjoyed creating a memory scrapbook from this year’s activities. One of their activities we scrapbooked included baking together…I knew I had to create a little chef using my Stampin’ Up! punches!!!!
Since May is National Scrapbooking Month, I thought I would share this page for the first-ever VC Rocks Blog Hop! For this month’s Blog Hop, we are featuring retiring colors and new Summer Occasions stamp sets. I used both: Close to Cocoa is featured on the page and is on the retiring color list (thankfully, more brown hues are coming), and I used one of the phrases from Go, Graduate from the Summer Mini Catalog on the page. Here is the page:
Supplies Needed:
- Chocolate Chip/Close to Cocoa/So Saffron/Very Vanilla/Whisper White Card Stock*
- Chocolate Chip and Ruby Red Markers and Chocolate Chip Ink*
- Big Shot with Ovals Die
- Punches: Scallop Edge/Word Window/Large Tag/1" Circle/Designer Label/5-Petal Flower/Trio Flower/Round Tab Punch
- Go, Graduate Stamp Set
- Flower Assortment Brads
- Paper Piercing Tool and Mat Pack
- Crimper
- Stampin’ Dimensionals and MonoAdhesive
Instructions
- Use Scallop Edge punch on large Close to Cocoa piece and Chocolate Chip Photo Backing. Mount pieces.
- Stamp phrase and punch out with Large Oval punch. Stamp a Designer Label piece in So Saffron. Mount pieces.
- Center holes for trio of brads and insert brads.
- Use Big Shot and Oval Die with So Saffron card stock. Use largest oval for punched art backing.
- Crimp piece of Whisper White card stock. Punch out with round tab punch at halfway line.
- Punch in Very Vanilla the following: (2) Word Windows-arms, (1) 1" Circle – face, (1) Trio Flower – dress buttons
- Punch in Chocolate Chip the following: (1) Round Tab – back hair, (1) 5-Petal Flower – front hair, (1) Large Tag – dress
- With the 5-Petal punched piece, use the 1" Circle punch to cut off a section for the "bangs".
- Use half of Round Tab punch for the "back hair"
- Cut off a section of the Word Window pieces for shorter arms.
- Create eyes and mouth and dots in the buttons with the markers.
- Attach all pieces and pop up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Mount remaining pieces.
*colors you may use will differ for hair color and eye color…
ALSO – in the theme of "little chef" – My customers have been begging for me to share my dessert recipes that I serve at events so I have added a new section on my blog under EVENTS for my EVENT RECIPES. I will be adding more this weekend…
