With the silly season well and truly upon us, it can be very hard to find time to create. This weekend was no exception. Daughters needed to be here, there and everywhere all at once, which meant trucking them where they needed to go. In between these times and giving my house a little clean (really it needs a big clean, but we won't look to closely will we ...) I gave myself permission to take time and create a couple of fun little cards.
Here is one I created using the really cool metal die set from Echo park.
I started with a very plain background cream cardstock and just went over it with the Distress Ink Broken China and the Distress ink tool. I punched out the corners - I love this effect.
I cut all the clouds using a light blue Bazzill cardstock, then cut out the word 'sunny' and the sun from yellow Bazzill cardstock.
All these dies are from the Echo Park Sun and Clouds die set -
available from our online shop
I also used some red washi tape for some fun contrast. One of the plain clouds was adhered using foam tape seeing as it was in front of the others. I really like adding dimension to my cards.
I also had a bit of fun with this little journaling card. I saw an idea on Pinterest and thought I should give it a go. I love this particular punch, it seems to be very versatile.
Basically I had two pieces of cardstock and then using this punch, I punched out a piece from the side of my lights cardstock
I matted my main two pieces of cardstock then added a scallop circle and two strips of cardstock. I also stamped in the space that was punched out - this looks so cool.
I love getting more uses and ideas on how to get the most out of my punches.
