Playing with Punches and Paper

When I saw this card that Mercy Kerin made, I knew I had to dig out some paper scraps and punches and start playing. I kept things pretty simple, but there really are unlimited possibilities for embellishing those circles. For these two cards, I used paper from 7Gypsies, and the sentiments are Hero Arts. Various accents include a keyhole, crackle effects, and shell button. I'll definitely be making more of these in the future! On an interesting side note, I also really like this card that Valerie Stangle made, inspired by the exact same card that Mercy chose. I just love seeing how a stamper's personal style comes through!

I'm still on track to go "unplugged" on Thursday. Anyone else going to play along?

Are you a punch-happy stamper? I know I have a huge collection, and I was delighted to see these awesome ideas for more ways to use them at Craft Critique. If you have a scalloped circle punch, then you absolutely have to check out all the cool ideas that Pam at Paris Estates has.

Happy punching!!
