Outer Space card with the owl punch

I used the two step owl punch from page 14 of the mini catalogue (item no 118074 price £15.50) to punch out the aliens I punched three one in daffodil delight, one in concord crush and one in melon mambo.

Also with the owl punch I punched three of the larger eye circles in whisper white and three of the smaller eye circles in black. I also punched two of the smaller eye circles in daffodil delight, two in concord crush and two in melon mambo.

I then used the star punch on page 104 of the catalogue (item no 119875 price £15.50) and punched three stars one in daffodil delight, one in concord crush and one in melon mambo. I cut off two points from each star and stuck the matching colour circles to them to make the antennae for the aliens.

I carefully cut the feet of the punched owl shapes and adhered them to what would be the head of the owl. I then adhered the antennae to where the feet were and placed the whisper white and black circles to the alien to complete them.

I punched an ornament punch (item no 119847 price £15.50)  in vellum to make the bubble for the spaceship and punched a scalloped oval in daffodil delight (item no 119856 price £15.50) and a large oval (item 119855 price £14.25) in real red for the base of the spaceship.

The last punch was a 1 1/4 inch circle punch (item no 119861 price £14.25) moon in whisper white.

I also added some dazzling diamonds (item no 102023 price £3.75) glitter stars. I used the multipurpose glue and randomly placed some dots and then dusted with glitter. I also added a glitter edge to vellum spaceship bubble.

Best Fishes

Best fishes to you all on this fine day.

Believe it or not this cute card was made using a christmas stamp set.

The fish bodies are stamped with the dotty ornament stamp from the delightful decorations stamp set shown on page 26 of the 2010 - 2011 idea book and catalogue which can be viewed here

The item code for this stamp set is 116517 and its price is £21.95. This set can be used for so many things and has a co-ordinating punch set so there is no need to cut it out, The punch is on page 105 of the catalogue item no 119847 price £15.50. These items will be featured a lot in my up coming christmas projects also which will show how versitle these sets are and how they can be used all year round, with a little imagination.

For this card I stanmped two ornaments one in pumpkin pie and one in daffodil delight. I then punched out three of the branches from the two step bird punch in old olive cardstock. I then punches out two of the five petal flower punches. One is pumpkin pie and one in daffodil delight, This punch is also on page five item no 119880 price £15.50.


I also punched out with the small heart punch (page 106 item no 117193 price £5.75) one heart in pumpkin pie and one in daffodil delight this will make the lips of the fish.

I used the 1/2 inch circle punch (page 106 item no 119869 price £5.75) and the 1/8 handheld circle punch (page 106 item no 100391 price £6.75) to make the eyes. I punched two 1/2 circles in white and one daffodil delight and one pumpkin pie. I then punched out two 1/8 inch circles in black.


I also cut a top note in baja breeze with the top note die and the big shot (which can be found in the mini catalogue by clicking the link below).

Ok now lets put this together. As usual the card base is an A4 sheet  cut in half to make it A5 and then folded in half to make it an A6 card which is the size of the standard Stampin Up envelopes. The card base for this card is in whisper white.

I used the snail on the top note die to stick it to my card base. I then cut off two petals of the 5 petal punch to make the fish tail and then a further two petals and then cut it in half to give me single petals for the fins. I then used the tombow multipurpose glue to stick the fish parts to the ornament punch fish bodies.

I decided where to position my fish on the card and then stuck down the seaweed branches with tombow glue under where my fish bodies would go. I then placed some dimensionals on the back of my fish and added them to my card.

All the adhesive offered by Stampin Up can be found on page 100 of the catalogue. For a finishing touch I used basic rhinestones as bubbles. These can be found on page 99 of the catalogue along with all the other embellishments. The item no is 119246 and they are £4.50 for 150 which is a lot of bling!

I hope you have enjoyed this project. Stay tuned for another project soon.
