Hi all,

Thought I'd upload another Christmas card that I recently made. I love Season of Joy stamp set and depending on the stamp, can make quick and effective cards. I decided to stamp and punch the "O" in Joy and adhered with a dimensional and used the Stampin' Writer Marker pens for the different colours for the sentiment.

Season of Joy

Cardstock: Real Red, Garden Green and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Real Red. Versamark Stamp Pad.
Accessories: 1/2" Circle Punch, Stampin' Write Marker - Real Red and Garden Green, 3/4" Real Red Polka Dot Ribbon (reversible - promotional ribbon - no longer available), Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Bone Folder, Paper Snips and 3D Dimensionals.
Card Size: A6.

Hope you like. Enjoy your weekend.

Card Petal Punch - Frankenstein Box.

Hi all,

Have recently been playing with my Petal Card Extra-Large Double Punch as seen on P.104 which completes two full processes in one punch. It punches once to create the inside score lines and again to cut the outside lines. Because both processes happen simultaneously, you only have to press the punch once and you get double the results!

Not only does it co-ordinate with the Level 2 Hostess stamp set, Cute By The Inch, but there are many great projects using this versatile punch. I decided to follow a tutorial and made a Frankenstein Box. I'm really pleased with it and can't wait to make more of his little friends :) It's perfect for holding a Drumstick inside too so a winner with the kids big and small.

Frankenstein Card Petal Punch Box



Cardstock: Old Olive and Basic Black (Textured).
Inkpad: None.
Accessories: Petal Card Extra-Large Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Bone Folder, Paper Snips. Non-SU: Easy Glue Eyes (7mm), Black Fineliner Pen.
Box Size: 1" x 1-1/2" x 5/8".

Here's what the shape of the punch looks like on P.104 of the Idea Book & Catalogue:


Here's the co-ordinating stamp set that matches on P.12 called Cute By The Inch:
