A new Challenge is now live at Crafty Cardmakers and the Theme is Dies or Punches! Jo is our lovely Host and, as always, you may create whatever you wish as long as it follows the Theme.
For my DT contribution, I have created a masculine card and, as I don't have very many punches, I have used a couple of dies.
The papers are by Kaisercraft. I love to use their 6.5" x 6.5" pads as they are the perfect size for cards.
Some embossing and stamping on the background. Both the harlequin and the script stamp are also by Kaisercraft.
The die above is called Texture Subway and, you guessed it, it's by Kaisercraft!! The greeting is also by Kaisercraft. In the back of their paper pads they have a couple of pages of little punch out greetings. Another reason I love their pads.
The clock is a printable from the net and the Cogs & Gears die is by .. wait for it! .. Cheery Lynne. Surprise!! It's not by Kaisercraft! LOL!!
These types of diecuts can be very thin and flimsy and I like my embellies to be a bit more substantial so I usually cut the shapes out a few times and then glue them on top of each other for more dimension. I also aged the cogs and gears by swiping them with a bit of Nuvo Embellishment Mousse.
Used a bit of the same paper to decorate the inside.
So crafters, get out your dies and punches and join in with the Challenge!! Would love to see what you create. If you pop over to the CCM blog you will find a whole heap of fabulous inspiration by the rest of the Team.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Take care and God Bless.
