I rceieved this card in the mail from Diane Doro to let me know she was thinking of me after my fall. Get this, she herself has a broken wrist, had surgey, and is in a cast!!! Thank you Diane:)
Click on photo to enlarge. This is a 12x12 page that I made in October when I first got My Digital Studio. It is of our grandson Dylan when we were at Adventureland. I am just figuring out how to save and be able to show you what I made. I love the central photo when I caught him looking through the fence at the railroad while we were waiting for the train.
I love this pic of Ari and Dylan in the toddler play area behind blue glass. I took pictures of all the kids, but that's too many to post. 
Papa and his girls in the planetarium before the show-pretending to sleep since they were laying on the floor.
The whole crew playing in the water. Left to right is: Abi, Chad, Dylan, Mady, Ari, Emmy, Ang, and Taylor. They were making a dam to create electric energy with the water. Or at least that was the intended purpose of this activity.
I have seen people make these boxes from the bigshot scalloped envelope die, but had never made one. The red one on top is the one we made for club on Sat. I saw this one and really liked it, http://outsidetheboxinsidethelines.blogspot.com/2010/01/scalloped-envelope-box.html so made my own version. I used the new sending love specialty paper that has a glittery shimmer on one side of each page. We added the new chocolate chip 1/4" epoxy brads and a choc ribbon. It only uses 2 of the envelopes and I cut the bottom at 1/2". I was able to get 3 boxes out of 1 sheet of 12x12 card stock. The small oval punch was used to make the top handle. 
I challenged my stamp club gals to make a valentine card for our swap. This is the one I made using some new toys. I used the very vintage wheel, new scallop edge punch from SAB, whimsical words for the sentiment, and the heart punch that I already had. I used melon mambo with going grey and basic grey and made an easel card. 
I received this card front as a swap sometime in the past year or so, but don't know who to credit, so if it's yours-let me know. I really loved the idea and colors. I made it into a full card by cutting the layers down and mounting it on handsome hunter. I used a piece of so saffron on the inside and stamped the coneflower on it with white ink-no pic :(. This is the card we will be making this Sat for our technique card. Chalkboard is stamping with white ink on dark cardstock then coloring with watercolor pencils, pastels, or watercolor crayons. This card is finished off by running it through the crimper twice in opposite directions to give it wonderful texture.
I bought these tins to use for my hostess appreciation, then had to decide what to do with them. Not sure my gals want games or build a bear magnets, also not sure they would use an accordian scrapbook. So I thought about what I would do with mine and realized I had lots of misc items on my desk: leftover die cuts and punched shapes, buttons, patterns, etc. Most of them were in a tupperware bowl but they were all spilling out. Now they all fit in one place and I will know where to look. I hope my gals like this idea. I used the scallop square bigshot die for the front and cut holes for the ribbon with the crop a dile. The blue piece used the new scallop trim corner punch-definitely a learning curve there:(. I die cut some medium weight chipboard with my initial and covered it with woodgrain wallpaper also die cut.
This is another punch art card that I had seen, and finally got around to making. The body of the fish is the ornament punch. I used the eyelet border punch on the turquoise and pink cardstock then punched with the ornament punch for the fancy layer. I used the 5 petal punch for the fins and tail fins. Rhinestone brads made the eyes and I used a retired flower punch for the lips. The grass is stamped with the Inspired by Nature grass stamp and I finished it off with punched 1/4" circle bubbles. 
Once a month I attend a stamp club at Urbandale Library. It is not associated with Stampin'Up!, but several of my stamp club members attend and others use some SU products. We take turns teaching new techniques, folds, ideas, etc. Next month I am teaching punch art, so I'm starting to make an album with ideas. I've always wanted to make one of these cards, but finally took the plunge. The photo is not the best as I played with the sizing and got it too small then enlarged it. (of course, I already had deleted it from my camera card) Watch for other punch art ideas coming soon. 
My order arrived Wed 1/13 and I was so excited I took a picture of all of my goodies!!!
Inside view of card
I got several new stamp sets recently that hadn't seen any ink. (gasp!) I used For All You Do with the cottage wall DSP colors of olive and razzleberry with a pale plum cardstock base. The vase is the ornament punch with the bottom cut off to become a vase. I "kissed" the polka dot stamp with razzleberry ink onto the butterfly already inked with pale plum and cut it out. I wanted the inside sentiment to stand out so I stamped it onto white cardstock and punched with the curly label punch. It still needed more, so I cut a piece of olive with the movers and shapers big shot die that has the curly label shape that I placed around the white punch. 
Sorry, the photo is a bit blurry, but I just wanted you to see the side view.
This type of card is so easy to make, but fun to display. Just choose any size card and fold the top of the card in half. Attach the front panel of the card just to the bottom half. Use a button, large brad, or mount the inside saying with dimensionals to keep the card front standing. I got the stamp set cheep talk and wanted to play and this is what I came up with. I used crushed curry textured cardstock for the card base. An easy yet inexpensive way to add interest is to layer punched shapes. I used the 1 3/8" circle punch in turquoise, designer label punch in cocoa, modern label punch in curry, and small oval punch in white. All of those pieces were scraps. I think I will add some piercing to the top of the turquoise layer.
