What a Great Fiskars Demo Day Part 2

I had so much fun today doing a Fiskars Demo at my LSS called Pages in Progress. We used 2 of the Summer Limited Edition Punches. I had a fun group of crafters and even one as young as 4 years old!! She did a fantastic job and even did her own stamping!! It was so much fun to see her excitement in making this project.

We used the "Gettin Antsy" and "Soleil". Don't you just love that ant?! Anyway we made this pocket invitation for all those summer picnics and BBQ's that might be happening. The picture above shows it all put together and the picture below are the 2 pieces separately. I used a die cut for the pocket and the tag. The stamp "You're invited" was from the mini Happy Birthday stamp set with the Stamp Factory. The Soleil punch was used both for the sun and the grass. 1/16" and 1/8" hand punches were used to make the flower center by punching random holes in the red circle and backing it with a black circle. The Admission for One corner rounder was used on the mat pieces that holds the ant.

I also had made a center piece that could be made to coordinate for your summer picnic. I had that on my Demo table to show how you could put it all together and to show other possibilities. It is pictured here along with the pocket invitation. I painted a clay pot and made grass from strips of paper and lined the pot. Then I made a couple different tags using the ant and sun to tie in with the invitation. Lastly I added some flowers. Close up details of the rags in the post are below.

This tag is just a circular tag made with the USX and circle template. Sizes 3 1/2" and 3". The craft color circle was also embossed with a Fiskar Texture plate. I again used the Soleil punch to make the sun and grass along with our cute little ant.

In this tag I used the USX to freehand the cloud and make circles 3" and 2 1/2" (I think those were the sizes) for the watermelon. I added the pop up sun punch to the Soleil sun. I also used a Texture plate to emboss the background for this tag.The seeds for the watermelon are from the Ice cream cone punch. I just used the drip portion of that punch.

To show something of the wave summer punch I made this card. Instead of using it as the wave I made them into clouds. How about punching this punch with patterned paper and making a flower? It can be used for more than just your beach and pool pictures and parties.

This last example shows the 4th summer punch. The Ice Cream cone.
This can be used for a ice cream party or as a coupon card to your favorite ice cream place. I didn't do it here but you can make double or even triple decked cones by punching more cones and adding the tops onto your single cone. All 4 of these punches are so much fun and can be used in a number of different ways. See what else you can come up with. Have fun!!

Check them out before they are all gone. Remember they are Limited Edition punches so when they are gone they are gone. Don't miss out.
