Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Morning folks from a very snowy Aberdeenshire.......perfect weather for staying indoors all snuggly warm and crafting with my crafty helper fast asleep at my feet and snoring his head off .....it's a dog's life right enough

Busy...busy....busy but I just had to join in the fun this week at one of my favourite challenges....Daring Cardmakers and as I was lucky enough to win last week's prize......that gorgeous Martha Stewart...Butterfly & Stamp Punch....it was a great excuse to have a play with all my new MS goodies.

The challenge this week is.......

HAVE A HEART
and I seem to be in "simples" mode this week




Papers....MME
Martha Stewart Flower Border Punch
Butterfly Stamp & Punch
Hero Arts...Scattered Leaves Stamp Set
Hearts cut with Fiskars Squeeze Punch
Gems from stash
Sentiment: American Crafts Thickers
My Little Shoebox.....Tiny Alphas

Believe me folks.....if you don't own any of these fabulous punches....they are well worth the investment....tip-top quality....and being a big Fiskars fan when it comes to border punches....I never thought I would be waxing lyrical about another company's punches.....but in all honesty I think these are better.....oops hope no-one from Fiskars is reading this and the flower border is just yummy.    The butterfly and stamp punch....what a clever idea....the stamps are stored in the lid on top of the punch....and it's so easy to stamp the butterfly details...turn your card over..line up your stamped image and punch and hey I managed to punch through 300gsm cardstock no problem....now that is a sign of a quality punch.
Back tomorrow with more border punch offerings.....oh I feel another addiction coming on.
