Punch Art Cauldron

*As an Affiliate Partner with Amazon & eBay, I earn from qualifying purchases*

Creating a Punch Art Halloween Cauldron is super easy and super fun!  For the cauldron itself I simply used ovals.  I then added some small circle bubbles and leafy flames.  

I love creating fun and whimsical punch art images from simple shapes, and it doesn't get any more simple than basic ovals.

Organizing My Stamps & Dies

*As an Affiliate Partner with Amazon & Rakuten, I earn from qualifying purchases*

I've been hard at work developing an organizational system for my stamps and dies.  Over the past year, I had acquired more stamp and die sets than I realized.  It was definitely time to develop a system for getting them organized.  I'm really liking this system.  Everything is kept neat and orderly.  Everything is so much easier to find.

Punch Art Bats

*As an Affiliate Partner with Amazon, eBay, Rakuten, & Arteza, I earn from qualifying purchases*

I used common punches and dies to create bats for Halloween.  So simple!  All it takes is a little imagination.  In my video, I'll show you a few suggested shapes to create punch art bats for Halloween.  Some other ideas include the ever-popular egg shaped dies.  The smallest egg would be good to use as the bat's body.  The tear-drop shaped piece from the Tree Die Set would be another great option for the body.  Also, as mentioned in the video, the wings could be made using an oval die and nipping out the arches with a circle punch.  

Products that I used in the video, as well as these suggestions are linked below.  What else could you use to create a punch art bat?  I would love to hear your suggestions.  Get Craftie and see what you can come up with.  The possibilities are nearly endless with punch art.

Here is the first of 4 winning suggestions, from 3 lucky winners of my Eggs Die Set Contest here on my blog.  The winners were to receive a free set of the egg dies and a video from me featuring their winning suggestions.  Today's video is from HappyBird's suggestion for egg shaped gift tags with a Christmas cardinal scene.  You'll find a link below to the video featuring her idea.  I love this tag and I think it turned out beautifully.  Stay tuned for upcoming videos featuring the other winning suggestions.  Thank you so much to everyone who participated.  I had so much fun with this contest and may very well hold more contests similar to this one in the near future.
