Punch art from a guest blogger

Punch art from a guest blogger

Mixed Bunch with punches

Mixed Bunch with punches

Mixed Bunch is a lovely set to use simply on it's own (as here) but it works even better when you team it with the matching Blossom punch 🙂 The card base is a small square of Strawberry Slush.  A sentiment from the Flower Patch set was stamped onto the corner of a...

Everything Eleanor tag card

Everything Eleanor tag card

Last week we shared an Everything Eleanor card that was simply stamped. This time we've added a bunch of punches to the set,  to create this get well card. The card base is an A6 portrait of Chocolate Chip, matted with a Crisp Cantaloupe design from the 2013-2015 In...

Triple time Mixed Bunch

Sea Street Circles card

This was our stepped up Sea Street card at our class last month. It uses a lot of circles to produce a cute card, good for youngsters and the young at heart 🙂 We used punches but you could get a similar effect using circle dies. The card base is an A6 portrait of...
