Festive Flower Builder Punch

LOVE LOVE LOVE this NEW Punch

and you will too.

I got my order yesterday from Stampin' UP.  I could hardly wait to open it and see

 all the fun things I got for the Holidays.   If you are one of my customers  you should be receiving your Holiday Catalog 2015-16  anytime now.  If you are not one of my customers but would like a catalog send me an email and I will get one out to you asap.  To get a catalog from me you need to place an order of $30.00 or more during the year and I will automatically put you on my catalog list and you will receive all the catalogs that come out for the year.  The NEW Holiday Catalog is AMAZING.  Stampin' Up outdid themselves this year.

You can check out my Poinsettia Tutorial above that I  posted  earlier  today.

Stampin' Up punches

The other day we went to our new Hobby Lobby to check it out.  Amazing is all I can say.  There is just an abundance of different things to look at.  I even found the spoons I've been looking for that are in the new Spring Catalog on page 28  on the Sunshine & Sprinkles page.  Don't you just love that spoon?  Anyways,  I met a couple ladies looking at punches and I hear them talking about how hard some of them are to punch.  Well,  I began to talk about our punches and let them know our punches are not hard to punch.  So, I came home and made this card for my swap  for yesterday's make n take.
It is not hard at all.  But to see it, it is beautiful.  I used assorted circle punches (all different sizes) in the New Tea for Two DSP on pg 3 in the Spring Catalog- $10.95  #129311.  I love this paper.  This is how I made it.

Cut your circles and and you saying.  Tape them down onto the smaller Very Vanilla c/s and  create a look you like-layering them on top of one another.  Leave out 2 different sizes for later.  After everything is taped down-run the whole piece of paper through your Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing folder.  Add ribbon and tape off onto the back of the Very Vanilla cs.  Tape the Very Vanilla c/s to the Lucky Limeade leave only a small edge of the Lucky Limeade to show.  Then adhere to the to card front.  Add you bow and then add the 2 last circles using dimensionals so they pop up. (be sure to run the circles thru the Big Shot using the embossing folder before putting them onto your card)  Then apply you Dazzling Details and your card will POP.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  Thanks for looking!!!!!
