Paper Duckie

This simple Paper Duckie punch art is great for adding to a scrapbook page or turning into a card for a new little one.  In a few simple steps, you can easily turn paper scraps into this cute paper duck! 

Materials:

• 2 inch circle punch (body)
• 1 inch oval punch (remove piece from body)
• 1.5 inch circle punch (head)
• 1 inch daisy punch (feathers)
• 1 inch folk heart punch (beak & feet)
• 1 inch cloud punch (wing)
• Regular circle punch (eye)
• Zig-zag chain punch (water)
• Small circle punches:  ½, 1, 1.5 & 1¾ inch (bubbles)
• Yellow cardstock
• Orange cardstock
• Light blue cardstock
• Black cardstock
• Glue stick
• Scissors
• White paint
• Small piece of natural sponge

Instructions:

1. To start off with you will need two graduated circle punches.  As long as you have a “large” circle punch and another that is about one half an inch smaller you can make a ducky “easy-peasy”.  Lots of punches other than the cloud can be used to make the wing; a small heart leaps to mind.  A tiny heart can also be used to make the beak and feet.  Cute duck feet can also be made from a small flower punch.
    
2. Sponge paint the blue cardstock with the white paint and sponge to create a lacey effect for the bubbles.
    
3. Punch all shapes needed.  You will also need one additional punch of each shape punched from black to create a 3D effect.
    
4. Glue black punches on each colored shape.
    
5. Remove unneeded portions of the punches.  Use a small oval punch to remove a piece of the duck’s back.  I don’t have one the size I needed so I grabbed my Stampin Up bird punch and used the wing to make the “divot”.
    
6. Glue punches together.
    
7. Layout your scrapbook page or homemade card and enjoy!
