Minnie & Mickey Get "Punched"

We'll be going to see Minnie & Mickey very soon!

I thought my Niece, Nephews and Son would enjoy some custom-made autograph books to capture signatures from all their favorite characters.  I thought back to the good old days, when we'd cover our books with paper bags.  I found this great tutorial to remind me how to create one and then coverted the idea into Crumb Cake cardstock.  Worked like a charm!!

Aren't they cute?  These Minnie's and Mickey's were super easy to make using a few Stampin' Up! punches.

• The body made from the 2 1/2" circle punch, same with the "pants" (I just punched 1/2 a circle).
• The ears are made from the 1 1/4" circle punch.  I punched into the body using the 1 1/4" punch to custom fit the ears, I didn't want any overlap.  
• The pant buttons are made with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  
• For Minnie, I used the small heart punch to create a bow.  
• I used the Decorative Label Punch to frame "2011", which was simply printed on regular copy paper.

A skinny rubber band wrapped around the notebook secures a pen.  It fit perfectly!  I was so excited.  I kept the notebooks simple for little hands (ages 2, 6, 7 & 10).  

The first time my son, Devlin went to Disney World, he was about 3 1/2.  Here he is - not so sure what to think of those big monsters!  I love the look on his face, he is such a character himself.  

More Mommy, bragging photos... I can't believe he was so little!

Criss Cross

 

If you like cards with details, you'll love this criss-cross card.

I used a tutorial created by Beate Johns, which you can find right here, on Splitcoastampers.com.  I have always loved the look of this style of cards.  They really give your artwork added personality.

From the different views of Designer Series Paper, to the custom belly band and insert - this card's got it goin' on.  

 

I created this fun birthday card for my step-son's girlfriend.  She's 14 and I thought the Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper was a perfect fit for a girl her age.  Adding to the feminine look, I used the Broadsheet Alphabet Stamp Set to spell out her name on the belly band.
