Punch Board fun

This week Jenny set us a challenge to make something with one of the punch boards from the catalogue.

I have been meaning to try one of these boxes for a while so I had a go at a diamond box.
This is made using the Gift Bag Punch Board.

 

I would link to the instructions I used but I wasn't quite happy with them and one of the sides needs a bit of tweaking!  If anyone has any recommendations for instructions let me know.

Having said that I am fairly pleased with the result and will have a play again.

The box is Calypso Coral card and the lid is made with paper from the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack.

I've finished with a bow builder punch and embellishment in Mint Macaron.

Spotty bows

A quick card with the lovely bow punch today - very pleased this is carrying on to the new catalogue.

Sadly the Word Window punch isn't.

This card uses the 2015-2017 in colours of Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon and Cucumber Crush.

Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and a quick decorative corner punch to finish off.

New palette

This is a spoiler alert post of products available from 1st June.

I was lucky to be able to purchase a few products (and get some free) when I went to Telford recently so I thought I had better use them and I've made this card for a team swap today so the girls will have a little taster too.

Across the card and paper this card uses all 5 new in-colours - any take your fancy?

I've used a little bit of a new designer series paper stack that co-ordinates with this stamp set (all the stamps are in one set) called Painter's Palette.

I've also used a new product on this which may not be as visible in this photo!

Some more sneaks before June but don't forget there are some bargains on the retiring list and many products are still available next year so I can carry on playing with some of my current stash - whilst saving up for the lovely new things too.

Still tea-riffic!

Using the same stamp and framelits set from yesterday but different items from them this is another offering:

I've picked out colours from this suite which are Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo & Wisteria Wonder and used the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack.

Tea-riffic

A little notecard for today with inspiration taken from Valerie Moody's blog.

The set 'A Nice Cuppa' which the sentiment is from and the matching framelits are retiring which is a shame.

I've used a Timeless Textures stamp in Smoky Slate too and this stamp set is continuing so that is good news!

Thank you to Everything Eleanor

Another Everything Eleanor card today that Cath designed for us at our weekend away.
Sadly this set doesn't make the next catalogue but some things have to retire to make way for all the lovely new stuff.

It's another simple but effective.  This one has been done in Rich Razzleberry.

Sentiment is from Tin of Cards.

Thanks a hole punch

How cute is this little card?

It's notecard size and I've embossed the Watermelon Wonder card with the retiring Decorative Dots folder.

I've made a little tag with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch and one of my hole punches.

The sentiment is in the Hostess set Love you sew which is rather fun.

An itty bitty flower, jewel and stitched satin ribbon to finish.
