tables above using three different stampin up punches all label punches and the tag. orders can be done online , also kits are going to become available for beginners so you can make there's with ease and further guidance.  punches 

these tables are so easy to make yet they look hard, heres a tutorial about them to share with you , as you can see dressed up the possibilities are endless... so lets get going....

making the pedestal.table base and top

For the table to take shape you need in hand some supplies

Tools needed

 For this table you will need cutter as always

Card stock (scraps are fine) but you need enough to fold 4 pieces in half so I tended to use one piece and embellish with the rest.

Tab punch, or curly lable or decorative large label punches

Sticky strip

Scorer

Scissors

and ....you

        so here is this little cuties recipe , you just size them up according to height, you can use tab punch, curly label punch and decorative label punch , and I’m sure many others  sold from stamping up, if you are interested in any product shown contact me , it might be time to see what's stampin up is all about and why it is so very popular internationally.

, you need to watch assembly so you make sure it’s all lining up, I do the legs one at a time and measure off the next one. Now to add a top you can use the scallop square large circle frame lits (my favourite) or plain, I sat Easter bunny on mine at Easter as above  he’s still sitting there.

 So here is  the basic tutorial and after that I will fill you in on dressing it up so here goes  The pedestal originally designed by Kim score (guess we best do it its half a tutorial she did} I just changed it to a table hers was a Easter egg box but regardless we need to recognise her so thank you Kim for the basic concept. she has a great blog too check her paper punch addiction site out its pretty cool she is very very good at punch art.

now,   Cut a 3-3/16” x 3-3/16” piece of card of your choice I chose riding Hood Red card stock. Score at 1/2” on all four sides. Clip on one of the 1/2” score lines at each corner as shown. Cut a tiny wedge on each side of the corner tabs. This way, the corners fold in more precisely. As shown above. using sticky strip fold corners in and tape to form table base top

 Cut four 3-1/8” x 3-1/8” pieces of riding Hood Red card stock. Fold each piece in half.

Slide the Round Tab punch onto one side, aligning one edge at the centre score line and Inserting the card stock as far is it will go into the punch.  After punching one side punch the other side in the same manner (don’t flip over and punch on the same side you just did or the four pieces will not align perfectly). Punch all four pieces in the same manner. Align the edges of the 4 pieces and glue in

Place to form the pedestal. Cut a 3-5/16” x 3-5/16” piece of riding Hood Red card Stock.

Score at 1/2” on all sides. Clip on one 1/2” score line at each corner to form tabs Secure tabs with glue at the corners. Place finished piece onto pedestal.

if you desire you can stamp or emboss the legs but I advise you do it before assembly as its too hard once together, one lady embossed the legs it looked lovely but it did distract from the legs a bit , also inking the edges I have learnt makes the legs pop a bit esp. if it’s in the same colour!!!! But I’ll leave that up to you

punch out four pieces of your choice of label or tag punches, the possibilities are endless

upside down view after assembly

Now the curly label punch can be used instead with same specs ,so can the large label punch however remember to size up accordingly as it is a longer punch and requires more length and a bigger table.  when ends to fit assembled they look like this upside down, you may have to snip theends to fit , I attach with tomboy glue or hot glue gun if you wish then turn your

 table over 

  From here we can decorate in so many ways as seen in original photo, all that was a 2inch by 12 inch skirt scored on the new score board and wrapped around with ribbon on top and a flower brad to finish it,

 the flowers on top were the 5 petal punch and the bird punch for foliage, I snipped the ends of the petals off as some weird American lady showed me in a video lol. Take a few thin cut strips to make stamens cut bottom of flower when pulled together  inked and dried so the stamen can go in attach stamen with glue dot to stay the other the table is the new frame lit embossed in rich razzleberry use crystal effects once flowers are inked

  so when assembled they look like this upside down, you may have to snip the ends to fit , I attach with tomboy glue or hot glue gun if you wish then turn your

 table over.And let’s embellish. tomorrow ill show you a few ideas such as the frame-lit table idea you see above and how to make this be a card too. so stay tuned .happy crafting and welcome kerrie 

BACK AS PROMISED...

SO HERE WAS WHAT I DID WITH MINE I HOPE THESE PICS GIVE YOU SOME HELP

PUNCHES USED TO DRESS IT UP PLUS SIMPLY SCORED  BOARD.

SO I MADE THE TABLE LID PUNCHED OUT THE LEGS AND USED THE FRAMELITS TO COT OUT A TABLE TOP AND EMBOSSED THROUGH BIG SHOT.

USE EXTRA TACKY TAPE WHEN MAKING THIS PROJECT.
