Ok, when working online, save often! I had this tutorial started, the power blinked, and now I get to start over. Hmm. I should know better. :-) Here we go!
This is the final card that I made at Sharon's last week.
I love this little lamb! This card combines the Big Shot and punch art. What a fun project!
We will start with the lamb. You need these punches:
scallop circle, small oval, and 5-petal flower
Punch two scallop circles from Whisper White card stock. You want one scallop circle to remain whole. On the second scallop circle trim three scallops two times. You want two little pieces with three scallops each.
Punch one small oval from Blush Blossom card stock, and cut it in half. (This is a retiring color, but I think Pink Pirouette will work in the future.) We will only be using one half.
Punch one 5-petal flower from Basic Black card stock. Trim so that you have a piece with two petals. These are your lamb's legs.
Glue one of the half-ovals to the full scallop circle. I like to use the 2-Way Glue Pen or Tombo Multi when doing punch art. If you use the Tombo Multi, just remember that a little dab'll do ya!
Glue one of the 3-scallop pieces to the top of your half-oval.
Glue the second 3-scallop piece above the first, so that the straight sides are meeting. Now your lamb has a head. :-)
Glue the Basic Black piece to the back of the scallop circle to create legs for your lamb.
Use the bullet tip of the Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to make some eyes.
Tie a knot in a piece of grosgrain ribbon (I used Certainly Celery on this one), and attach it with a mini glue dot.
Now for the card to put your lamb on. I changed the colors, so you would be able to see the placement better on the die. Black on black is hard to see in a photo!
You need the Big Shot and the Scallop Circle Bigz Die.
You need a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock (mine is Barely Banana) folded to 5 1/2" X 4 1/4". Place the fold on the die so that five scallops are above the fold on the card stock. Run your sandwich through the Big Shot (cutting plate, die, card stock, cutting plate).
Your card comes out looking like this. The flat part is the fold at the top of your card.
To cut the layer for your card, line up your scallop card with the scallop circle on the die. Place a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of card stock on top of your card where you will want your layer to be. I wanted my layer parallel to the top fold. Carefully remove the card, leaving the layer piece (Certainly Celery here) and run the die through the Big Shot (sandwich = cutting pad, die, card stock, cutting pad).
You get a piece like this that should fit on the bottom half of your card front.
Adhere the Certainly Celery layer to the Barely Banana card. Attach lamb punch art. Stamp greeting. (Mine is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, stamped with VersaMark and embossed in white.) I added a Whisper White taffeta bow to the fold.
What a fun baby card! Thanks for hangin' in 'til the end! Now, go make some sheep!
Happy stamping!
