Punch Art Giraffe

Hi there Creators

I was asked recently to make up a Giraffe Card, so I turned to Punch Art, and wondered if I could possibly do it with our current Stampin' Up! Punches, I almost achieved it 😄

So this is the card I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!  I'll show you what I used after it:

this was the photo I was using to get by 'bearings" on the giraffe face:

And here's what I used:

The face is made from Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, it's punched on both ends for the face (I found I had to add an extra length of card to the back of it, so I could get it into the punch properly).  I've then punched 2 small hole punches for the nose and another 2 slightly larger ones for the eyes.

The nose is the only main punch that's not still current, which is a small fat oval punch.

Ears are made from the top part of the large butterfly in the Butterfly duet punch, with 2 petals cut from the Small Bloom Punch for the inner ear pieces

The Antlers are the end pieces of the Sprig Punch (I've turned them inwards)

The Neck is a bit random, I've just cut a slightly curved piece, and kept it around 3/4" wide.

then the last part is the splotches on the neck, I've used the end pieces cut off the Story Label Punch, stuck them on and trimmed it.

Oh I've also daubed round the edge of the pieces to make them stand out on the card.

For the card I've used the stitched rectangle dies, then I couldn't resist using my new Happiest of Birthdays saying stamp, I love that the stamps are a great size in this set.

I hope this has inspired you to see what you can make with your punches!

let me know if you have a go at the giraffe, or if you have any questions about it :)

God Bless love
