Kumihimo Necklaces

 I got my inspiration for the blue necklace from Firemountain.

The purple/lavender was made for a friend.

Kumihimo is so addictive !!

Cute Fabric Yo Yo 

Christmas Tree Ornaments 

Mid Sep. I had to have rotator cuff surgery , so  I was crushed since I work so much with my hands and would not be able to crochet or stamp. 

Several weeks after the surgery I asked the doctor if it was OK for me to hold a needle and thread and he gave his OK.  :)

I came up with some simple little fabric yo yo Christmas  tree ornaments. 

I will give some away as gifts this year ... shhhh 

 

Kumihimo Bracelet !

Just finished this bracelet.

 



Punch Art Giraffe :)

As I was looking at giraffe pictures yesterday, I got the idea of making a punch art giraffe. 

Well, I did not want to keep it all to myself and thought I share this with the world. If you use my idea please link back to my blog and give me credit :)

THANKS!!

Here is the card I made 

 I think it turned out super cute!!

I made a matching envelope (you see it behind the card) and even decorated the card on the inside a bit.

Inside 

Here is what I used to make a giraffe:

Stampin' Up oval punch

McGill butterfly punch

McGill fleur de lis punch

Stampin' Up heart to heart punch

Sizzix framelits tag die the second smallest

How to cut...

Only half of a heart is needed for the eyes.

You need 2 big Fleur De Lis for the ears and nose holes.

 Cut 2 butterfly bodies and nip the antennas off.

Save 2 round circles from the butterfly punch for pupils.

I stained my pupils later with brown

I cut a neck freehand. 

Time to go around the edges and stain the giraffe pieces with some brown ink and a sponge. I made several at a time for later use.

I gave the giraffe some spots with an old flower stamp I had. 

See what you have laying around and use something similar.

WAIT!!!! Cut a thin sliver with the oval punch of black cardstock.

Our giraffe needs a mouth :)

Time to assemble your little guy.

Have fun !!!
