Punch Art Giraffe - Get Well

So, apparently I'm obsessed with Giraffe's right now and after doing my punch art giraffe for our Team Swap the other day, I just had to play with another one!

My boss wanted a get well card with a giraffe for a friend of hers who had knee surgery.  Well, the first giraffe wouldn't have worked, he didn't have legs!  So I created this little cutie for her to send.

A little note... I added a pink bow to the final card since this is for a woman.  I'll take another picture and update later, but since my new computer and I are just getting to know each other and it's nearly midnight (Wednesday) for posting tomorrow morning (Thursday), I'm not going to do that just now.

Once I added a body to this giraffe I suddenly realized I now needed a tail!  I love how it turned out.  The pattern and instructions will detail it all in Friday's post.  You'll see I turned the ears down like I mentioned in my previous giraffe punch art post.  I like it better this way, more like a real giraffe!


 
 
To give the look of a bandaged knee, I wrapped a small piece of ribbon around the most visible front leg.  Cute!

 
 
Thank you for looking in.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for the recipe!

Giraffe Punch Art Swap

This is the swap I did for Monday's weSTAMP Team Meeting Swap.  I was so excited about this one I actually had it done 2 weeks ago!  That was good, but it made me crazy not being able to share it.  ha ha!

 Also, after looking a some real giraffe's, I realized his ears really should be more down on the side and floppy, but I like how mine turned out.  Besides, I wasn't going to rip off those ears and start again!

Below is my recipe for you to make your own Giraffe.

 To make the hole and the ring around the hole, I used the Circles Collection Framelits (130911).

Thank you for looking in!  Happy Hump Day!

A Spot of Tea for Easter

This creative "tea cup" comes from Brenda Quintana's QBee's Quest.  I've CASE'd some of hers tutorials below and love every one of them!  So fabulously creative and she happily shares her tutorials with all of us.  You can find her tutorial here.

 I made two of these this weekend for my Mother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law to have for Easter.  I'm sure they will love them!  When I made these, I knew I needed to purchase some Hershey Kisses and promptly forgot to pick them up at the store.  I looked through all my candy stash and managed to find exactly the number of "silver wrapped" kisses for these cups.  Whew!  They just wouldn't have looked right with red or green!

 Thank you Brenda for another amazing creation.



Thank you for looking in today.
