Goofy Punches

I just really love this card.  I saw the saying and knew I had to make a Goofy to go with it.  I actually just looked at a picture of Goofy and tried to figure out what shape were used then I decided what punches I had that could make the shapes.  I actually used the coluzzle for the chin, but that was before we had the new wide oval punch which I think would work now. goofy-card

 Here is a list of all the punches that I used:

Chin & Mouth- Wide Oval, Large Oval, Large oval for tongue
Teeth- 3/4″ Square with 3/16″ Corner Rounder
Nose- Large Oval, Small Oval, Word Window
Head & Eyes- Key Tag, Large Oval, Slit Punch
Hair & Ears- Large Oval
Hat- Small Oval, Large Oval, Key tag

I think that’s everything.  I hope you like him I thought he turned out cute.

Wacky Wednesday 12-10-08

big-shot-snowflakeWacky Wednesday- Big Shot Snowflake

Today was crazy because it was club and of course things did not go according to plan, but here is my Wacky Wednesday Project.  It’s actually really simple.  I came up with it from the circles that are folded in half when you cut out your pendent dies.  You would add them to your banners when you make them.  So I decided to try it with the snowflake die. 

  1. First you need to cut out 3 of the snowflakes with your Big Shot. 
  2. Then you have to fold them in half.  This is actually the tricky part.  I start by folding both the edges in half then I fold the centers over to meet each other and press in the center.  This leaves just a little part on each side to finish folding. 
  3. Once all off your pieces are folded you need to unfold one of them and apply glue.  I use the two way glue pen. 
  4. Next I apply half off one of the snowflakes to each side.  Then apply glue to one side of the two remaining pieces and put them together. 
  5. When you are done you should have a 3 dimensional snowflake.  You can hang a piece of silver or gold cord from them to let them hang.  I put them in my Christmas Tree and they look great.  Hope you have fun with this one.  My kids love it.

Weekly Challenge

One of my favorite things about Patty’s blog is that she has something new almost everyday.  So I decided I wanted to challenge myself to post a new idea for you each day.  I wanted to make it a little fun so I’ve come up with some fun names for each day and hopefully a fun category.  I’m not promising that I will be great at this, but I’m going to give it a try.  I will be starting on Monday here are the fun categories and what you can expect.

Marvelous Monday- I will be starting with the Many Marvelous Markers.  I have a document with lots of ways to use our great markers so I will be giving you tips and show you some samples.

Technique Tuesday- Hopefully I will be showing you a new fun technique and sometimes some old ones that we tend to forget.

Wacky Wednesday- This will be for anything that is different and fun.

Thrifty Thursday- Stampin’ ideas for those on a  budget. 

Freewheeling Friday-  I often forget to use our great wheels when creating projects so my challenge will be to get them out and see what fun I can have.

Swapping Saturday-  Saturday’s are usually pretty busy so I will be posting some of my favorite swaps.

Stampin’ Sunday-  I usually get a few minutes alone in my Stamp room on Sunday so I hope that I will be able to show you something new each week that I have created.

Hopefullly you will like these and we will have a little fun with it.  Please feel free to leave your comments so I know what to do more of in the future.  Be watching for them starting Monday and check back everyday to see what is new.
