Double D - 4th Anniversary, Celebrating with Some Punch

Dear Ones~
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope the new you brings you much joy and happiness, and all good things!!

And HAPPY 4th ANNIVERSARY to US. It's Double D's 4th anniversary, so we are celebrating with some PUNCH. We want to see some poor neglected punches used. And here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:

Here is my card:

I don't have many punches, and none that I do have really match any of the images on the Mood Board. So I did the best I could with what I had, and got my inspiration from the color of the luscious looking jar of goodness in the top left. This card was made with Stampin' Up's fabulous punch and die set called Varied Vases. The vases were punched out of Brutus Monroe Watercolor Galaxy patterned paper, glazed over with Glossy Accents, and then popped up with dimensionals. I also used Stampin' Up's Banner Punch for the greeting and Tim Holtz's Tiny Bow punch for the paper bow. The frame was created by embossing the white card stock with SU Stitched Rectangles dies. Using a rubber embossing mat keeps the dies from actually cutting.

Here are the Ingredients:

GKD Passionate Pink and White Card

SU Stitched Rectangle Dies

SU Varied Vases Stamps

SU Varied Vases Punch

Brutus Monroe Watercolor Galaxy Paper

SU Banner Punch

Tim Holtz Tiny Bow Punch

GKD Inks In:
