Fun with Punches!

There's nothing I love quite as much as the new Spice Cake Designer Series Paper that came out in this year's Holiday Mini. The colours are so rich and comforting, but there's a splash of the unexpected - Pool Party!


This card was made using the Mojo Monday sketch from this week.

 

(MOJO 212)

For this card, my goal was to use punches in different ways!

 1. Decorative Label punch: I used the decorative label punch to create the border for the piece with the main sentiment. Just slide your cardstock in as you normally would, only much less (just enough to get the top scrolls). Then, shift it over to the right and left and punch the rest.

2. Large Oval punch: The large oval punch was used to accentuate the sentiment "Thanks" without actually punching it out. I cut out my Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the sentiment. Then I lined up the Large Oval punch and prepared to punch. Instead of punching all the way through, I punched only the sides. Then I ran the Pool Party ruffled ribbon in behind to lift the sides.

The supplies I used for this card were:
Cardstock: Early Espresso (119686), Very Vanilla (101650) 
Paper: Spice Cake Designer Series Paper (124003) 
Stamps: Kindness Matters (W122900, C122902), Tiny Tags (W118091, C118592)

Tools: Large Oval punch (119855), Jewelry Tag punch (117190), Decorative Label punch (120907), Blender Pen (102845), Dimensionals (104430)

Hope you enjoyed your visit - Until next time, happy stamping :)
