Punch art elf with a little season of style …

Hi and welcome to my blog.

This week’s Christmas Elves theme challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown had me stuck for a while as I don’t own any suitable stamps to keep with the theme. So instead, I turned to my go-to technique when my (large) stamp library fails me – punch art – using a combination of designer series paper (dsp) and cardstock to make this elf punch art card …

Punch art elf Christmas card using season of style dsp

I’ve seen lots of Santa suit punch art cards around in blogland, but not many that look like elves. I took inspiration from this card by Ros Davidson and changed it up to look like an elf.

I hope you like my card for this week. It was fun and relatively simple to make, and would appeal to both young and old alike.

Gill – this is brilliant. I would never have thought of using punch art to create an elf card. I love the papers, the sparkly buckle and super buttons too. Fab xx

Hi Gill – love this card! Don’t see many elf cards. How did you do the collar?

  Hi Barbara. I cut the collar freehand, that’s why it’s a little uneven 🙂
