BOWS WITH ENVELOPE PUNCH






Are you looking for an easy card to make that is adorable?  This card was so much fun to make.  I used the Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board to make the bows.  You would be amazed at all of the great things you can make using the Envelope Punch Board.  It is definitely not just for envelopes! I also used the Large Oval and Scallop Oval Punches. Add a little texture and some rhinestone bling, and you have a great card.  If you are new to paper crafting, and are looking for a tool that will be versatile and make you smile each time you use it, definitely go for the Envelope Punch Board.   You can order one from my site. You won't be disappointed.

Cute Thank You Card





Our neighbor who just loves animals and volunteers countless hours at shelters and adopt-a-thons is always doing nice things for us.  A couple of months ago, she showed up at our door on a Sunday night with a puppy from the adopt-a-thon where she had been working.  Nobody had taken the poor little guy, and he just happened to be the same breed as our current dog, Skeeter.  She informed us that he was on the list to be euthanized and thought we would be a good home.  Reluctantly, we took in the puppy for the night to see if he might be a fit for our family.  By the next morning, I was in love!  We named him Jasper, and he is very much a part of our family.  He brings so much personality.

To thank our neighbor for bringing Jasper to us, I created the card above. It is very simple, but I think it turned out really cute! This card was made using the following Stampin' Up! products:

Sweetheart Punch
3/4 " Circle Punch
Squares Collection Framelits
Papers:  Whisper White, Pistachio Pudding, Early Espresso
Early Espresso Stampin' Pad

Here is a picture of Jasper. . . I think you see why we fell in love. Makes me wonder. . . Who rescued who?
