Punch Drunk

As I looked through the last four years of Holiday Cards magazines, I realized that I hadn't used many punches this year. So I pulled out my fun fern punch and got jiggy with it.


Let's call this card Ode to Mistletoe.

Happy sigh.


Let's call this card Ode to Boughs and Berries. Just because we can.

Another happy sigh.

Be still, my heart! Look at all that glorious white space. Revel in the cleanness of these two cards, the crispness, the simplicity, the dimension, the bling, the Signature Christmas sentiments that I love so much!!!!!!!!!

Punch drunk. That's what I am. Care to join me?

Simplicity Tip: Add dimension to punched shapes by gluing only the center of the punched shape down, then use a butter knife or other flat, dull tool to lift the edges. I used a photo removing tool from Creative Memories. It's sort of a spatula for removing photos from nasty magnetic albums. But a butter knife would work just as well.
