A Dinner Invitation
Once you start using the
metallic text weight paper, you'll love it. This invitation was made by
punching out the
silverware in a piece of paper. We then punched out a scalloped
square around it so the silverware is centered. We backed the cutouts with a small piece of gold
metallic paper. This touch of gold dresses up the invitation.
The card stock is Fabriano. Whenever you use it, it adds a touch of class.
Items used:
Punch - silverware
Fabriano Cards
Metallic text paper - gold

Thank You Card
Using a background stamp to
decorate the mini white envelope really changes the look of the envelope.
It's a good technique to remember. The envelope was also decorated with
two great punches. The scalloped flower and the fern. Tuck in a
little personal thank you note and your card is
finished.

Purse Card
The purse shaped punch was used
to make this fun card. I love the colors used. The basic card is a
Memory Box color called Hyacinth. Bluebell cardstock was used for an
accent. The ink used with the block stamp was parchment. It
makes a great background for the purses and is a color that we find we often use
at Impress.
Items used:
Punch - purse
Cardstock - bluebell, hyacinth
ColorBox ink
- parchment

Floral Bouquet Card
To make this card, start
out by stamping the Impress rectangle block to make a pot. Punch out the
small flowers using pink and celadon duplex paper. The small flower is a hand held
punch. The other flower is the small scalloped flower punch.
The leaves are made using the ash leaf punch. Double stick tape is used on a few of the
flowers to create a 3D effect. Notice the small border of blue that mats
the white rectangle. It really makes the floral arrangement pop stand out
and gives the card and eye catching look.
Items used:
4721A- thank you
4545C - rectangle block
Punch - ash leaf
Punch - hand
held
flower

Frog
Card
The
whimsical frog punch makes a great summer card. First we
stamped the 4 line background stamp with olive
ink. We then punched out the frogs and attached
them to the card using mounting tape so they stick out
from the card and add a 3-d effect. We finished off the
card by stamping a greeting.

Punch - frog
ColorBox ink - olive
