I have seen some posts with folks using the Cupcake punch for making baskets, so I decided to try my hand at it. FUN FUN FUN !!
Isn't it so perfect ?!? Great for a little boys, or a new baby card (changed sentiment). I used different DSP for the grass, but cutting them rounded and sponging them with always artichoke. I saved some of the cloud DSP from Sale-a-Bration last year, and it was PERFECT for this. The baskets on the hot air balloons are from the cupcake punch and them a I crimped and sponged it a bit for some definition. The balloons themselves are from the 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 circles punches. The sentiment is punched with the modern designer label and I used my Big Shot to cut the mat for it. Finally, using my mat pack, I pierced the edges and faux stitched with the basic grey marker. Such a happy card, and absolutely love it. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
These are so cute. Love seeing boys and girls version. Glad you are back to posting regular.
