Some Enchanted Evening

Hands up if my title got you singing!  Today's card uses the gorgeous Everyday Enchantment papers which are back to order during July only (or until stocks last).  You can even get FREE coordinating brads and ribbon if your order is £45 or more!  And we're not talking about a piddly little amount either, but 30 brads (6 each of 5 designs) and 2 spools of ribbon, each measuring 9 yards!

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
Other: Postage Stamp Punch (retired)

  7. Beautiful card. I love the simplicity of it. Sometimes cards just get so overwhelming with "stuff" that you can't see them.

  14. Lovely card there. Excuse my being pickey but 5 x 5 = 25? Well it did in my school days?? Good tip on lining up!
    That cat pic is funny. For some reason Sandra came into my head - she doesn't do ribbons (too tight to use them!) LOL!

    1. 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!)
