And our own DT member Kas has had a card published in the May/June issue of Scrap N’ Art magazine! Way to go Kas!!!
This month our theme is all about Punchinella! I remember getting my first piece of punchinella (or sequin waste as some call it) and was a little mystified. I had no idea what to do with it, how to use it or even how to attach it to anything. Punchinella is a pretty regular feature in my creations these days and it figures in our DT’s creations as well…Check out these fabulous projects:
Yvonne made this pretty altered tea tin using punchinella and our Banana Hammock Mixed Media Color Kit:
Kas made these fun earrings, what a great idea!
Lara created this awesome layout prompted by Dirty Scraps:
Check out this fantastic punchinella stenciling by Andrea:
I made this layout for a mini album I made about my favorite biographies:
Erika rocked it out with this fun card:
Angela created this fantastic layout:
Do you like to use Punchinella in your projects? We’d love to see them so make sure to leave a comment with your blog link so we can take a peek or upload them to our Gauche Alchemy Flickr group!
Don’t forget that the deadline for this month’s challenge: Mixed Media Mamas has been extended to midnight this Sunday, 5/30 so you still have time to get those entries in!
Now go glue something awesome onto some awesome something! 😀

I am SO blown away by all of these! I too was completely dumbfounded when i first got punchinella – it sat gathering dust for awhile before I dove into the pile one day. But all of these projects have given me some GREAT ideas!!!!!! Especally Andrea – OMG I WANT TO GO AND STENCIL NOW SO LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give me a shiner will ya!
pause, bleep…pause- I just copied and pasted what Lara said!
I still have a lot of my original white punchinella because I hoarded it because I could never find any and when I did I thought I better keep some of it! When does something like punchinella become vintage?
I’m still waiting to take a bloomin’ picture of my Mother project…I’ll just take one and if it doesn’t show up well I can always take another one on a better picture day.
holy crap!! I won something!!!!
YOU GUYS ROCK!!
THANKS!!
anyway , I really like that punchinella!!!those projects are super cool!!
Great ideas….I can see my supply getting used a lot more now!! Amazing all the ideas!!
These are all wonderful, ladies! Such inspirational pieces! Larawi, I’m so glad you found use for your stash, and glad you can get some ideas from our projects! And yay for you, Kristie! Winning is always fun!
Brilliant ideas ladies. I love every single one. I never know what to do with punchinella and always end up cutting myself on it! 😛
