Each month I hold a class in which my customers can come make 5 cards. When I first started the class took on the theme of cards that could be stamped in 10 minutes...the class idea has evolved over the last couple of years, and even though I try to stay with 5 minute adage, there are cards that I put together that just take longer.
This month's focus was to use punches - either in their intended use or to show the other creative ways to use them. Here's 4 of the 5 samples from this months class.
Used the SU flower punch and made a faux prima flower...punched a flower from c/s and then peeled the layers of cardstock apart and used rough side of the card for the flower face. Sponged flower with a little cameo coral to highlight the roughness of the layer. The bunny was inspired from MonaLisa's bunny in the DD gallery last month.

Great card. What a great idea on how to do the flower! I'm relatively new to stamping and I cannot believe some of the techniques that are used! TFS

I am so going to try this card, showed the pic to a friend and she has part of the punches and I have the others. We are so excited. Thanks for sharing this absolutely adorable card with us. What a very creative/talented lady you are! Just love all the little extras, ie: ribbon, ric rac, doodling, flower...you get the idea. Just TOOOOO CUTE!
