ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES, Day 4

Here is a GREAT card sent from Maureen. THANKS MAUREEN! We love getting her cards..so much talent! Here's what she had to say: MS Punch is Around the Page called Deco Fan. I cut a 5" card from ivory cardstock. Then I cut a 5" olive green cardstock. . The patterned paper was cut a bit smaller then I rounded the corners. Next is the green scallop circle from Nestabilities which I also embossed. Final piece of ivory is punched and embossed one size smaller. The sentiment "you're never more than a thought away" is from Stampin' Up....just love that saying for a card...so versatile! The ink color is Mellow Moss also from Stampin' Up. I edged the ivory circle in the same color and added 2 heart brads. To add dimension I always use foam dots which I did on the center punch.

Here is a simple card by me! I just HAD to get a hold of this Martha PAP punch called "crackle" Thanks you CropStop for the inspiration. I walked in, and it was on clearance at Michaels. I think I heard angels sing.. LOL The lil snowman was done by Dawn and was in my die cuts swap stash, the sentiment a rub on from stash, papers in stash. Boy I really "stashed" it on this one.. LOL Using up m'stuff.. woo hoo! This punch makes a great creepy background for a halloween card and I also saw it used to make it look like a fringed blanket around a lil dog die cut. So many uses! I have the brrrrr sort of cracked ice look for my card! I bet you gals could think of many more!

ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES, Day 3

Yep, the new year is right around the corner.. hard to believe ! This is a fun layout done by Susan, Laurie and me. Susan is a Stampin' Up punch Pro.. LOL. We have the border punch a lil more than 1/2 a way down on the blue paper, we have the corner punches layered on the photo mat and then along the bottom using the same patterned paper we punched the triangular shapes creating a border. The use of these three different punches didn't take long at all to add to page, but it does give much more to the page than to having added a plain strip of paper through middle or across the bottom. The cricut cut is from celebrations with Flourish cartridge. This really is a goodie. Laurie had all this great paper in her stash, the glittery ribbon from my stash. We inked the edges with white chalk ink and there ya have it :)
