My local JoAnn's had some Jenny Bowlin for Fiskars punches on clearance, so I grabbed a couple. Sadly, I dropped one that made really cool blue ribbon cuts, and broke it. Wop wop. I was able to put it to use to make this card, though, and the bird punch, also JB for Fiskars, survived. There are lots of stamps going on here. The background is Jenny Bowlin, the phone is Claudine Hellmuth Studio, the So Retro set , the "You are pretty amazing" is Papertrey Ink, and the "you inspire me" is by Stampin' Up. The papers are all SU, as is the binder punch. The card base is GinaK Designs. I also did some dry embossing on my ScorPal.
The buttons and pearls are dollar bin specials, and the twine is from Paper Source. Notice how I used my hole punch to make a spot for the twine to rest in?
This was so fun to make, and I am sad my blue ribbon punch is dead.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
All Best-
Richard
Fabulous card I love the layout. Caroline xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat card - I am sorry about the punch, guess they are not indestructible! The ribbons you made are darling but I especially liked the phone with the swipe of green color. Good detail!
ReplyDeleteCute card. Hey, check with Fiskars about your punch. I thought that they had some kind of lifetime warranty. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteHi Rich - I realized when I came back tonight to see this card on a bigger screen that you used the number 42 on the phone! The answer to everything! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant, Richard. Love the fun design and all the wonderful elements like the pearls, the winner pendants and your sponged edging. The way you notched your card to hold the twine in place is a fantastic idea. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSleek and very appealing design!! Just amazing Richare. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card! I'm sad about your punch, though. That's not fun!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card. Love the great images and die-cut elements. Neat idea punching the circe holes to add the twine. I will have to remember that.
