RRD: Gratitude to God

This week, I have some more ideas to get more out of your punches, another layered flower and a banner.  I used Kaleidoscope Brites cardstock again this week.

I used the 1-1/4 and 1-3/4" Flower Punch

again this week.

 This time I cut the flowers into 6 petals.

 I gently formed the petals to give them some dimension.

I used a large glue dot and placed the larger petals 

on the glue dot, leaving gaps between the petals.

 Then added the second layer of smaller petals.

Then I added a button to the center of the flower.

To make the banner, I used a 1-3/4 square punch.  

I added a paper ruler to my punch to make sure

it is even and centered when I punch.

When the corners are at equal lengths on the ruler

the cut will be centered and even on either side.

 Here is the punched banner.

I added the sentiment "Gratitude to God" on vellum.  It has been a long time {many years} since I've used vellum.  The vellum RRD carries is absolutely perfect for stamping.  The sentiment came out perfect.  It is crisp and clear and sheerness of the vellum does not weigh down the piece.

 I added some Mia's Cottage ribbon and 

the flower to the banner.

  The finished page.

Red Rubber Designs: Be Happiness

Today, I have a some scrapbook embellishments to show using stamps and punches.  I saw this double punch technique with a scalloped punch on Pinterest and decided to try it with some flower punches.  It is a really clever technique to get more shapes out of one punch.  Gotta love that!

 I used the 2 six petal flower punches (1-1/4" and 1-3/4") 

and a 5/8" circle punch.

 I punched the 2 flowers.

 Then created a handle with some cardstock scraps,

 so I could hold the flower in the punch.

 Then, I rotated the flower so the petal would be divided 
in half and punched a second time.

 Now I have 2 twelve petal flowers.  

I punched a 5/8" hole in the the center of the smaller flower.

Then, layered the smaller flower on the larger with pop dots and added a button in the center.  {I think it looks a lot like a straw flower or daffodil}

Next to create the pocket, I used a coin envelope and cut the top so it was open.  I added some Kaleidoscope Brites cardstock to the pocket. 

 I added a finger grab for the card that slides in the pocket 

with 3/4" circle punch.

 The pull out card is 2-1/8 x 4" and I rounded the corners 

using the Corner Chomper.

I added the flower to the card with a pop dot 

and some Mia's Cottage ribbon to the pocket.

 Using Black Palette ink, I stamped 

a sentiment from "Be Happiness" on the card.

  Here is the finished page.

With the card out of the pocket.
