Creation Station and the Power of the Punch

September 2, 2018 by Mikaela Titheridge 6 Comments

The Creation Station Blog Hop design Team are bringing you the Power of the Punch this month. Lots of inspiration using Punches – Boy you’re in for a treat.

Creation Station Craft Inspiration using Stampin' Up! Products - Power of the Punch

School Holidays are drawing to an end and on Wednesday, our son starts back. It’s been a fabulous summer having had lots of fun. His Bicycle has played a big part of his enjoyment this summer, zooming around the garden at great speeds.

Triple Banner Punch, Fox Builder Punch and En Route Stamp Set for a Back to School card by Mikaela Titheridge, #6UK Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen. Supplies available through my online store 24/7

Returning to school after so many weeks, can bring about anxieties yet children often forget the things that they have mastered. Independence comes from riding a bike and is a massive achievement and I had this as my focus for an encouragement card for him.

The Triple Banner Punch, which can also be used to banner the end of sentiments, makes awesome chevrons. Angular shapes often work well for boys cards and the images within the Stamp Set, En Route are perfect for boys too.

Banner Punch Chevron Tip

Insert your chosen width of cardstock (I’ve used 1.5″) and punch. Without removing the strip of cardstock, push it in to the end and punch again, repeating as many times as you like. Beneath, resembles the chevron pieces that you see used here.

Fox Builder Punch meets En Route for a simple Notecard by Mikaela Titheridge, #6UK Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen. Supplies available through my online store 24/7

This simple note card was inspired by the Orla Kiely pattern often found on pottery and fabrics. Repeatedly stamped images and some punched shapes can produce simple and effective cards. It’s often good to look at the random shapes that are generated as part of a Builder Punch. The eye mask from the Fox Builder Punch reminded me of leaves.

The power of the Punch can bring about fast results and can be taken away for holiday crafting. Take a look at what Kerstin Kreuzer has to share with us, I’m sure she’ll offer yet more tips, tricks and inspiration.

Do you like FREE Products? Then you're going to lo Do you like FREE Products? Then you're going to love Sale-a-Bration 2021 and this Oh So Ombre Paper. 

The Black contrast of Simply Succulents looks incredible as an overlay to the Oh So Ombre Papers. I so enjoyed creating these, even if it created rather a mess on the floor of all the bits. These cards were created to send out to a few people who have been on my mind throughout the recent announcement of Lockdown. Wanting to add a little shimmer, I pulled in a touch of Black Glimmer Paper that has just retired but this could easily be switched up with some ribbon or a flash of something else. 

These were designed as part of the new Stamping Inkspiration Blog Hop that went live last night. We were sharing Something New.
