Stampin up baby punch art

I created a baby card this week for a friend of mine and I must admit that this is one of my favorites!

First of all, I must give all the punch art credit to a very talented SU! demonstrator, Geraldine Andrade. Her baby punch art (amongst all her punch art) is absolutely amazing! You can check out her blog at http://mafercreations.blogspot.com

The baby is made from 6 different & current punches. 

Although Geraldine already put together a quick reference guide for you in her blog, I decided to make a couple of changes of my own and re-created the reference guide.

My tips:

• to shorten the word window, punch thru your paper half-way then move your punch toward the right to get the length you want and punch all the way thru.
•  for the diaper piece, use the same 1 3/4" punch to crop a small piece out of the full 1 3/4" circle
• when creating the pacifier and hair pieces, first punch the smaller circle then use the larger circle punch to align it.

Supplies used:

• cardstock: baja breeze, very vanilla, summer starfruit, soft suede
• DSP: patio party
• stamps: cuddles and kisses
• inks: midnight muse, blush blossom
• punches: 1 3/4" circle, 1 1/4" circle, word window, owl builder, cupcake, itty bitty punch pack (circle only), 1" square (for the banner)
• Big Shot items: cloud embossing folder  
•  non-SU!: 1/8" handheld punch, flesh-colored cardstock (for the baby's body)
