Here is my card... you saw the beginnings of it yesterday in my WOYWW post:
I used my much beloved postage stamp punch (which is currently retired, but I'm hoping it'll be back in the next Idea Book and Catalogue) to punch out six squares from a piece of Crumb Cake card. I drew lines on the back in pencil to make sure I lined them up properly. Then I punched six pieces of Everyday Enchantment paper out and stuck them to my Crumb Cake base.
Top Tip: Blu-tack your card with the negatives punched out to your base card. Then you can stick your positives into the gaps and they'll line up exactly when you position your top piece of card with dimensionals.
This is another snippety make for Di and friends in the Snippets Playground. Hope I can get an extra 5 minutes on the swings, and maybe a go on the slide, for entering a second card!
Supplies
Stamps: Apothecary Art
Ink: Basic Black
Card: Crumb Cake
Paper: Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper

Thanks so much for visiting - and an especially big wave to my new followers Buttons from Pushing the Right Buttons and Jules from Always With A Heart,
Wow these papers are GORGEOUS Hugs Elaine
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it...heehee......I made a card, today, using three squares of scraps, but haven't taken a pic yet...honestly! You inspired me to start using some of the TON of scraps that is almostblocking the doorway to my room, lol.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty scraps you have, there, m'lady!
Gorgeous card and I love that punch. x
ReplyDeleteLovely card Victoria, the papers are gorgeous! Hugs, Lisa x
ReplyDeleteLooks good Victoria.,.,x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use these pretty papers, especially the little bits and pieces that are left over from other projects!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Victoria - great to see you playing twice this week! Like Elaine above, I adore the papers! Hugs, Di xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I love the simplicity of it. Sometimes cards just get so overwhelming with "stuff" that you can't see them.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this!!! These are my favorite papers--and I LOVE that punch! I need to get it...it's in our new catty, so it should be in yours when it comes out! :)
ReplyDeleteI did wonder what those bits on your very tidy desk would turn into and you have not disappointed Victoria.

P.S. : I agree with you, cats like the scrap !!!
No not singing - but only because I can't remember the tune! I have to say I am now the proud owner of this fabulous card - it's such a clever design Victoria! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteLovely card there. Excuse my being pickey but 5 x 5 = 25? Well it did in my school days?? Good tip on lining up!
ReplyDeleteThat cat pic is funny. For some reason Sandra came into my head - she doesn't do ribbons (too tight to use them!) LOL!
Hugs

Oooo you're eagle-eyed!! Thanks for that - I've amended it so I don't look so stupid!! In my defence, I'm a linguist and it's a well-known fact that linguists don't do numbers!)

ReplyDeleteanother funny cat pic LOL

Hi Victoria! I'm back after what seems like forever. Thank you for your lovely comments.

That loaf of bread has my mouth watering, I can almost smell and taste it, haven't baked in an age.
