Stamp Off Punch A Bunch Challenge

I love Fridays, because I get to share it with

my friends Buffy and Susan.  I love their creativity

and our challenge three-some!

 This week, we are doing a punch challenge.

Now, MY interpretation is that Big Shot framelits

and thinlits might also qualify as "punched" components.

Our little Stamp-Off challenges are always open

to interpretation, as it makes things kind of entertaining!

I stressed a bit over this challenge, and then had a 

kind of "breakthrough".  I wanted to use the T-shirt

Builder Framelits Dies, on page 30 (of the Occasions

catalog), but put a more feminine spin on it, given the

lovely, sparkly, (retired) SAB glimmer paper.  After several

attempts, I finally pulled out my Bow Builder punch

on page 188 and punched 3 bow tails.  I'm sorry that 

it's really hard to tell, but the 3 bow tails form the

dress skirt.  The most difficult part of this was attaching

components, as the glimmer paper does not like to

cooperate with adhesive.  I ended up using dimensionals.

The glimmer dress was attached to a Stitched Shapes

framelit layer.  I punched several "dots" to act as 

"floating bubbles".  

If you did not get this FREE SAB glimmer paper,

you can always purchase the Dazzling Diamonds

Glimmer paper on page 175, and color it with 

your re-inkers.

That wonderful sentiment comes from the

So In Love set on page 52 of the Occasions catalog.

The rest was just layers.  I'm pleased to have figured

out a "skirt" option for the T-Shirt Builder Dies!

Now please take the opportunity to enjoy the 

creative ideas offered by Susan and Buffy.

I bet they punched it out of the ballpark!

Nailed It

Nailed it, with the Urban DSP is such a fun combination.

I also love the framelits for cutting out sentiments.

These are nice shapes, 

that fit messages from a variety

of sets.  

Balloon Adventures Balloon on a String

I'm still using the now retired SAB Carried Away

Designer Series paper.  The designs are so striking,

it only takes a couple strips to accent a card.

"As usual", I have used the Balloon Adventures

photopolymer set with coordinating Balloon Pop-Up

Thinlits dies, found on page 5 of the Occasions catalog.

This is just a simple card, appropriate for masculine

or feminine recipient.  What makes is simple to create,

is this great bundle of products, that makes it easy

to get the job done!!
