Penguin Place Buddies - Olly the Owl

 

A few quick posts over the next few days... starting with the lovely little Olly the Owl...

As I have been having a little play with my Penguin Place and Penguin Builder Punch... 

And I thought it high time that I started to share! 

Been so much fun... And remember... penguins are not just for Christmas!

Oh and... chest feathers courtesy of the little daisy in Daisy Lane... though you could also use the new and fabulous Daisy Garden  instead

And yes do not fear.... I have some penguins too!

Tuesday Tips - more Punched Daisies!

Told you I had gone a bit mad with the wonderful Daisy Lane and Daisy Punches... but thought I should share these punched variants before I more onto other products...

Amazing how you can make so many different flowers from the one punch (or 2 if you count the different sizes!) Just scroll back (a week or two)if you want to check out some more variants...

This time the white flowers are created by punching out a daisy... and then inserting each petal into the tip of the same punch and punching to nip out the tip... And then repeat...lots of times!

Note that it is much easier to do one punched daisy part at a time - and then assemble -  rather than assemble your daisy and then punch!

A Large Daisy... with a 1/2" stamped & punched centre (as described here)

A Medium Daisy... this next shot having the wonderful Perennial Essence Floral Centre to "best" finish off my daisy!

And you may recognise the card format... as this was actually my prototype for my last Stitched Nested Labels cut-out Dandelion Wishes card... more details on that can be found by clicking here...

Tuesday Tips - Daisy Centres - Daisy Lane #2

Back to my Gray Granite and Daffodil Delight Daisy Lane series...

And another way of creating a centre for your daisy... as I would have used up a whole pot of the wonderful and perfect Perennial Essence Floral Centres if I had carried on!!

Which although very easy... and very effective... would have proven quite expensive as I played on!!!

So this card showcases...
(1) 2 of the daisy images and 1 of the greetings  in the Daisy Lane stamp set...
(2) small and large punched daisy centres...
(3) a new small square Pop Up Centre Step panel card variant ( but more on that another day!)

So back to those centres... ink up and stamp large daisies in the colours you require... Note that you only need to have the central circular area stamped... and then punched... so just a small scrap/strip of card required!

Punch the centres using (now retired) 1/2" and 3/8" Circle Punches....

Actually what I had done originally was to ... stamp large and medium daisies and then punch out with the necessary circle punch... but I have now just realised that I can get both sizes punched from the larger daisy! So why not just save a step or two! Unless you need to differently logistically when ruining a class or workshop! Hence why I mention both!

And then all were placed (stamped) face down onto a Stampin Pierce Mat...

And then circular pressure applied using the Take Your Pick Tool embossing stylus...

Starting in the centre and working out...

Which then forms a curve in the circular disc... so adding dimension...

So then they are all stuck on using a Mini Stampin Dimensional...so as to keep that extra dimension...

The larger ones are the centres on the 2 medium daisies to the bottom left... and the smaller is the centre on the smaller fussy cut daisy to the top right...
