Solves the problem nicely.
As you can see, the 80# card stock punches cleanly with the border punch and doesn't cause the punch to jam at all. This Martha Stewart lattice punch gives such a pretty, delicate feel to the card, and coordinates nicely with the stamps from Papertrey's Botanical Silhouettes anniversary set. The butterflies were made using a Martha Stewart punch with vellum.
On the second card, the stamps are much more stylized and modern, so the Martha Stewart fence border, which is heavier and more angular and solid, feels more appropriate.
These stamps, from Papertrey's Trendy Tree Tops, are so fun! I love the sentiment, but there's no comma on it. I pulled a comma from an old Hero Arts clear alphabet set and added it.
Note that I used color and bling/pearls to unite the sentiment and the image on both cards. I love the little butterflies but I'm not so sure about the pearls added to the curls on the second card. Those seem a tad goofy to me. Oh, well.

What a great way to use the punches. I have that same Martha Stewart lattice punch so you have just helped me use it a new way. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these cards! And I was wondering how you could punch detailed shapes on heavy card stock, so thanks for explaining that you don't. Great idea to use 2 weights of Neenah to avoid different shades of white.
ReplyDeleteUse foam adhesive squares to secure the top back of each flower to the card base. Glue the stem/leaf section of each flower to the card base.fencing prices
