it is just a short scroll down.
I decided that I wasn't going to do any more cardmaking until I finished a project that I started over a year ago and never finished. I started putting together a document of various ways to layer Stampin' Up punches for unique looks. I invited readers to submit their ideas or links to ideas and I would compile them. The ideas came in, I put them all in a nice little folder - and promptly forgot about it. Two things have happened recently that reminded me - 1. I realized that my temporary document is floating all over Pinterest and 2. a very nice lady was reading my blog for the first time and, quite accurately, e-mailed me that didn't see the final document.
So...ta da!!...here it is...a final compilation that was started a year ago!!!
Now I have to tell you about my card. I had this long story written about a slow computer, counting to three, and corralling cats which was supposed to explain my inspiration for the new Less Is More which is "three". I used a stack of three punches to create my card. Then I actually read the challenged and realized it was One Layer Week - so my card doesn't count - AND you don't get to read the whole story!
This card is going out to my husband's cousin who is dealing with Lyme Disease. She has it with significant symptoms, her husband has the pathogen but no symptoms, and neither of them have been bitten by a tick?! She is trying to deal with young children along with the extreme fatigue and other symptoms caused by this disease. So far, anitbiotics have not been effective. Our prayers go out to Kim and her family...
- Stamps: Stampin' Up Teeny Tiny Wishes
- Paper: Stampin' Up Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait
- Ink: black
- Accessories: Stampin' Up punches, embossing folder and scallop border, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, misc twine and gems
Wow. Thank you so much!! I will be using this to get more mileage out of my punches. Who ever invented punches is my friend.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a brilliant folder of ideas Kim...thank you
ReplyDeletethe card is pretty cool too!
Well wishes to your family members
Thanks for the label chart Kim. I don't have all the punches but it's only a matter of time! A lovely card (even if it's not one layer). Sending best wishes to your family. xx
ReplyDeleteI have this Pinned Kim! It is a wonderful idea - thanks for sharing ♥
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, Kim. Thanks so much for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteWell ... Even though i don't have any idea what you are talking about ... I am sure the story would have given me a giggle! Sweet design, Kim! Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the textured white panel with the white butterflies. A very sweet card! TFS the punch ideas too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe white on white butterflies are beautiful, Kim! Thanks for the ideas for using punches. I rarely think to layer them and it's so effective!
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating and adding it to your sidebar! I am so happy I stumbled on your blog through Pinterest. I've always wanted a cheat sheet. I started one myself. But I didn't have most of yours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and thank you for sharing it with us. With your permission I would like to use this on my blog with a link back to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I'll put this on my blog among the tips with a link to your post.
ReplyDeleteEveline.
Wonderful layering ideas - the pin helped me find your blog many thanks for sharing. Louise
ReplyDeleteI found your punch document on pinterest--love it! Thanks for sharing it. I gave the one with 3 label punches side by side a go today but it didn't come together like yours. My Stampin Up extra large oval punch isn't big enough. What did you use for the oval? Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteDo you think you will ever do a video for this? It is great, and I have not found many videos on the various uses of Stampin' Up! Punches. I hope you will.
ReplyDeleteThis is genius!!!! Thank you so much for being willing to share your talent with all of us.
ReplyDeleteIf it's possible it would be wonderful if you can do an updated version of this idea of multiple layered punches.
