Pug Punch Art card

This card is a little different for me - not just because I don't usually do much punch art but also because I designed it but my son actually made it for his girlfriend who has a pet pug called Peanut.

Punch art in the form of Pug dogs creates a very cute card

The base card is Early Espresso 6"x6" with a layer of Blushing Bride embossed with the Subtle folder.  He stamped the greeting "I love you" from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and then had-built the word "most" with the Brushwork Alphabet stamp set.

Using Peanut as our model, we made the pugs with Early Espresso and Crumb Cake cardstock.  He hand drew the wrinkles and foot pads with an Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker.

The hearts (large from Up & Away die set, small from Cookie Cutter Builder Punch) and bows were my son's idea.  I think the result is just adorable!

Head:
1.75" square - round corner with the Detailed Trio Punch (or you could use a circle punch or die)

Ears: 1 x Four Petal Flower Punch - divided into 4 pieces (2 for each dog!) and curled with a bone folder

Pug's Ear Step 3

Tongue: Small circle with the top cut off (the same punch as for the black part of the eyes would work) or the ears from the Elephant Builder Punch may work

Nose: Same small circle as black part of eyes, trimmed with snips

Eyes: 3/4" circle in Early Espresso x 2
          Cookie Cutter Builder Punch - 2 Small white circles & 2 larger black ones

Bow/Bowtie: Cookie Cutter Builder Punch

Lower part of face:  1 5/8" Layering Circle die, trimmed to size

Body:
A piece of Crumb Cake cut to 4 1/8" x 2 7/8"
Make a fold in the centre and open up again
Fold the top corners down to the centre line as illustrated
Fold the top sides down to meet the centre line (rather like making a paper plane)
Fold up the triangles at the bottom in line with the straight edge to make the feet. Use snips to round off the points if you like.

Judicious use of glue will hold everything in place and I recommend using a bone folder on the folds.
