I don't know about you, but I am tired of Christmas cards! (Not receiving them, just making them.) So today I am posting a non-Christmas card. And I think I came up with something new all on my own! Whoohoo! (At least, I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet.)
I made a flower using the new Heart to Heart punch! It was easy-peasy.
I started with a 1" circle and 8 of the biggest heart from the new punch. I punched these from Parisian Summer DSP. I folded each one in half to give it some dimension and make it look a little more like petals. I adhered 4 of them by the tips using a dot of MonoMulti adhesive. I placed them at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock, and I left a little space in the center.
Then I filled in the other 4. So easy! I added a filigree designer brad to the center.
The mellow moss piece of the card is faux suede. I crumpled it up and then ran it between my thumb and bone folder a bunch of times. Then I peeled the layers apart. Because it was such a big piece, it didn't pull apart in one big piece, but I was able to get it all apart. Then I stamped one of the Boho Backgrounds on it in So Saffron craft ink; it's really hard to see, but it's there! So Saffron polytwill and some hugs and kisses complete the card.
Supplies (all SU): Stamps: Fundamental Phrases, Boho Backgrounds; Paper: Kraft, Mellow Moss, Very Vanilla, Parisian Summer DSP; Ink: Bravo Burgundy, So Saffron craft; Accessories: 1" circle punch, Heart to Heart punch, filigree designer brads, So Saffron polytwill ribbon, Styled Silver hodgepodge hardware, bone folder
Happy stamping!
Last, but certainly not least, is this spinner card by Jane Walker. I've never seen a spinner done on just a card front before. The spinners I've done go through the entire card front while this one doesn't. I can't wait to try it!
This beauty was created by Renee Nelson. I love the way the punch is used on this one! You could line the inside with a contrasting DSP or stamp the coordinating stamp on the inside.
Today's card was created by Stacey Miller. I love the use of the Top Note die, and there's glitter on the big heart!
Today's card comes from Angie Pegram. Care to guess what I love most about it? If you know me at all, you know the answer is the color purple. I think the Lovely Lilac really makes the other colors pop! She also used my all-time favorite punch--the ticket corner punch.
I only have the SCS name of this swapper: Meginma. I love the addition of the Night of Navy, and you know I'm a fan of this medallion using the scallop border punch. The addition of the gel pen dots is nice!
I'm traveling the next two weeks for work (I have to go to Southern California. Don't you feel sorry for me? LOL), so I'll be sharing swaps I received using the recent Love You Much bundle. For this swap, we had to use the Love You Much stamp set, Candy Lane DSP and the Heart to Heart punch. I am amazed at the variety in the swaps I received! Everyone did a wonderful job! First up is this lovely card by Tracy Riekenberg. I love the layout and the creative use of the punch.
For this week's workshop wow challenge, I decided to feature punches. As I said in last Saturday's post, my fellow challenge hostess, Stacey, has really been rocking the punches lately, and she inspired this challenge. Oh, I also told them they couldn't use white or vanilla. Can't make it too easy!
