Textured Thank You Card

This little card, although it hasn't scanned very well is a real cutie. I used one of the new textured 3x3 note cards in Wild Wasabi; snailed on a slightly smaller piece of Ruby Red DP and then stamped on Shimmery White with Lines and Doodles and Just So Sayings for the flowers and stems. I shaded them in with SU Metallic Art Pencils, giving a little shadow behind and below each little flower. I added some bling to the centres, raised them with dimensionals and did some faux paper piercing in the lower left corner to complete the triangle thing. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out and can't wait to give it to someone. I think a lot of stampers are using the little flower from that set so it certainly isn't a new idea, I'm sure, but I still enjoyed putting it together. Welcome everybody (Ruth) back from convention - hope you had a great time and learned lots. The next downline meeting we'll all be waiting with breath held for your report! Enjoy the long weekend, whether you're going away or not, all you stampers, and pray for nice weather. We're off camping so of course we don't want it to rain. Bye for now.

Pinwheel card

Hello!

This is another card in my series of realtor cards that i'm working on.

It uses my new punch - corner punch which makes 2 different sizes of photo corner holders.

I used the small tag punch to make the petals of the flower. I also used the Prints designer paper in Rose Red.

Have a great weekend!

Punch Holder

Well yahoo and yippee.....DH has got going when the going got tough, when the rubber hit the cardstock, and all that! I now have a very efficient, very compact, very versatile punch holder that he dreamed up in about 60 seconds. He stood in my stamp room, looked at the various components of the problem (i.e. size of punches, # of punches, available space, available supplies and urgency of the situation - me whining nonstop) and came up with a solution. I don't think it would win any major design awards but it wins a super husband award from me. I don't give a worn out blender pen what it looks like, all I'm concerned about it whether or not it works, and believe me, it works! Now all my punches are off my work table and out of my oh-so-valuable work space, and there's room for many more if I need it. This reminds me of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" where the author states that men are problem solvers, that's what they do, what they're best at, and I guess this proves his theory. My solution was to talk it to death, his solution was to solve the dilemma. Yay George!
