something I was thinking...re: Punch art

Sep 24, 2003 4 Replies

I have seen several nice patterns for punch art and I dont know if anyone else has thought of this, Im sure everyone has since I am so new at this I dont consider myself anywhere close to being a knowledgeable scrapper but I do fancy myself a clever thinker with a creative mind. So, Im not trying to sound like a know it all...LOL



Anyhow, I was thinking, some of the punch art uses some basic punches for some of the shapes like circles, ovals, scalloped ovals(aka clouds) and so on....and since I dont have alot of these types of punches, I thought, hmmm I do have tons of templates and im sure I could find some of these shapes on a few of those! So, Im gonna gather as many punch art patterns as I can because even though I dont have alot of punches and may not buy a whole lot more, I could also use my templates. But this may put me in the paper piecing category though, I dont know. Anyhow, I am going to use my punches and templates for the punch art stuff.



Just thought I'd share my little brain storm with you all!

That's exactly what I do. I trace my templates, then cut them out and make flowers and birds and anything else that can be made with regular punches. I haven't gotten around to buying punches yet and saw some punch art that I just had to try. The hearts and circles aren't exactly "perfect," but that's okay, because they're handmade. I'm so glad someone else is doing this too. I'm not a weirdo afterall!

Here is another idea. I don't know if people would be willing, but I would. If there are punches that you need for a pattern put a call out for that punchy. I know that if I have that one I would be willing to punch out

20-30 of them for you and send them to you. Just a thought. Soni in NV

I might add that my 8 yr old loves to use the punches!!! so we really wouldn't mind!!!

OOPS i meant I may ask for punchies from you....oh boy, what a day im having..
