OK, if yesterday's card hasn't pushed you over the edge yet to purchase these amazing punches, check out today's card! I can't take credit for it! My friend, Kristin (CLICK HERE), created a beautiful card I just fell in LOVE with and had to CASE (thanks Kristin!!!) First off though some of you emailed asking me what I meant by a triple punch. Well, it means ONE punch can cut three different shapes that can layer on one another to create some FUN FUN creations!!!! Here's a shot of the pieces that can come from the Triple Flower Punch.
Now, the trick for my card to line it up is I laid out all the pieces on my work area (I use the self healing black mat in the catalogue on my desktop to create on....LOVE THIS!!! - it's a great tool for lining things up, figuring out dimensions and spacing objects!) ANYHOW, after I had them all laid out, I realized I needed a 5x5 square to have three rows of three of these little gems. (Aren't they just TOO cute!!!)
Then the next step was to raid my embellishments! I just grabbed some matching brads and buttons and away I went! One thing I loved about Kristin's card is that she did some dry embossing (so I had to copy that too:)
And here is the finished card! Isn't it fun!!!! I am so stinkin happy! Now I will be honest, I won't make a million of these, but I will make more using another colour combination! The middle is the greeting from the Bold Blossom Stamp Set (carried forward from the last mini) and I used the Tags Sizzlit (that I've owned since last JULY and JUST used for the first time!!!!) Isn't that little label so sweet (the Whisper White). The Perfect Plum layer behind it is the Decorative Label and I cut it in the middle and made it a little narrower.
I hope you like today's card! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
Take care,
Heather
