Is this not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?  OMG!  I received a little goldfish card similar to this at convention and absolutely fell in love! TSC! Too Stinkin’ Cute!  The title gave away the fact that this adorable little fishy was made from a punch but can you guess which one?  It’s that darn Owl Builder Punch!  Who would have thought you could make so many adorable things from one punch!  I really admire those people who can look at a punch and come up with all of these ideas.  I certainly don’t see them just by looking at a punch!

In case you’re having trouble seeing it, the owl body is the fish body, half of the owl “vest” is the fin and the little heart from the owl punch is the little fish lips!  I have to say it again….TSC!  The fish “bowl” is made by folding a piece of window sheet or a transparency in half and placing it on your 3 1/2″ Circle Die so that the fold in the window sheet is just below the “edge” of your circle part of the die.

Have you come up with some creative ideas for punches or seen some on other websites?  Leave me a comment and tell me about them.  I love new ideas!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
