Create a Totoro punch art card for an anime fan!

So I was “procraftinating” the other day…you know, when you’re supposed to be doing something and craft instead…and came up with this super fun Totoro punch art card! OK technically it’s not punch art, it’s die cut art…but you get the idea. Basically use die cuts to piece together a totally different look!

Technically, I think I should have the belly circle lower on the card front, but it’s stuck in place now LOL!

So the above is a photo for reference…obviously my version is simplified! I used circle die cuts (from Layering Circles Dies and Warm Welcome Dies)for the eyes, and the nose is the end cast off piece from the label in the Waves Dies; the marks on the belly are created using the accent from the Alphabet A La Mode Dies!

This Totoro punch art card was a lot of fun to create – and I made a short video of the process which I uploaded to pretty much all my social media platforms – TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook….because everyone has their “go to” platforms where they watch their content! I’ve embedded the YouTube version below.

Eventually I did get some other work done….but I am really good at procraftinating…..how about you? If you want to keep in the loop about other tools to help you procraftinate, or craft on purpose, even, be sure to be signed up for the YamStamps Newsletters (click on the link or use the box on the YamStamps site) – they are sent out each Tuesday at 1pm Eastern – so no more procraftinating for me – I’m off to write a newsletter!
