Challenge:   Use 3 punches

September 17 - 23rd, 2013

Teresa R. here from Fresh and Renewed! I am soooo excited to share with you this card today. This was my very ever first card I have colored with alcohol markers. I had a blast coloring this image. My friend Kim helped me with my first experience and gave hints and tips along the way. Well she got me hooked!! I cannot wait to begin sharing with you my creations colored with my brand new alcohol markers.

So here is my card! The inside of my card has a little slit for a gift card.

 I also created a second card...I have been watching about a million YouTube videos lately and I saw this technique called the bandana technique. So I tested it out. Each card followed the challenge and used 3 punches.

Challenge:   Use 3 punches

September 17 - 23rd, 2013

At Cuttin" and Stampin" this week we are having a "Three Punch Challenge." I love using punches, I own many of them, and never thought twice about how many I could use on a single page or card until this challenge. I was given two shades of Bazzill Basic blue papers to use along with three punches of my choice. It took me the longest time to come up with a card using these two requirements as the basics of my card. I started off with a top fold dark blue card, measuring 11" x 4.25", scored at 5.50".  I cut my next layer out of the light blue at 4" x 5.25". I inked the Paper Smooches Borderlicious tiny polks dots border with VersaMark, sprinkled on a white embossing powder, and then heat set the layers. I then used a 2.50" circle punch on a scrap piece of inked beige patterned paper, and a snowflake punch using a scrap of the dark blue paper. Using my hand punch I punched a small hole in the center of the snowflake and inserted a large snowflake brad I had in my stash and attached it to the light blue layer.

 

 



 I cut a 18" piece of ribbon and tied a bow on the bottom of the top layer.

I adhered my top layer to my card base. I stamped my verse on another scrap piece of the light blue cardstock. Using my third required punch I punched this out along with a second punch on the dark blue cardstock and matted the verse.

 

 

This is the Paper Smooches "Borderlicious" stamp set I used and the

required two blue Bazzill papers.

 

 

These are the three punches I used for my card

 

 I am done! I must say, this was a real challenge for this gal! I may have used three punches on other projects, but I will remember this one!

 

 

Happy Scrappin!
