February punch class-"Over the Hill"!

As the winter in New England dictates, my classes for February are only being offered on a "to go" basis.

It's too cold to go out and we have a lot of snow up here (with limited parking).

Getting together to "yuk it up" while stamping will have to wait until it gets a little warmer.

But you don't have to miss out on fabulous cards!

These are the cards I created for the February "Over the Hill" punch card class.

All three are birthday cards meant for "older" recipients (or, sadly, my age bracket!)

For just $10, you will receive in the mail an unassembled kit (and envelopes ) for creating the three cards you see here!

You can leave a comment below or email me with your request. I will need your $10 check, payable to me, Danielle George, no later than March 7.

I will also need your address (!) so that I can mail the kit out to you.

Here are notes about each card so that when you're you get your kit you can refer to this blog post:

Card #1:

The penguin is made from the owl punch! 

Here is a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to create the penguin: (Please excuse the gold glitter on my silicone mat!)
• Cut off for the ears and feet of one black owl.

• Glue a scrap from an orange owl so that your "penguin" now has two orange feet. (does not matter what the scrap looks like!

•Add a white "vest" and an orange heart (pieces made with the owl punch)



• Add white eyes and make black pupils with a marker. (The punch also can make these but they are just too small to handle!)

• From a second black owl, cut out wings as shown:
• Tear a piece of white card stock and half to appear as a snowy hill!

Card #2:

This one is easy peasy!

•Glue a colored 1/2" card stock circle to the black 1 1/4" circle, then make a hole right in the middle with either a paper piercing tool or a 1/16 " hole punch.

•Add a small brad.

•Attach to card with dimensionals.

Card #3:
Believe it or not, this card is made again with the aid of the owl punch!

Each balloon requires that you cut 1 foot off of an owl. Leave yourself a little piece to adhere glue!

I talked baker's twine with a glue dot. Each balloon was then attached to the silver glimmer paper with a Dimensional.
(I also added accents with my white gel pen on the black balloons.)

A glue dot holds all the balloon strings in place before the bow is attached.

Ready to be given!
