Welcome Stampers to our October Canada Inks Up Blog Hop. I am so happy to be able to participate in the Blog Hop. The theme for this Hop is Creating a Card Using Punches. I saw Ruth from Artful Stamping with Ruth and Melva Peters do a technique using punches and I wanted to try it. These were the cards I came up with.

I used the Tailored Tag Punch with the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper and the Gold Foiling for my first card and then the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper and Gold Foiling to create my second card. Sit back and watch the video for instructions on how I made these cards.

8. Pop the flower image up with dimensionals and place it on the card over the wheat image a little
9. Cut two different pieces of the Harvest Meadow DSP that are 3/4″ x 3″ and cut the ends on an angle
10. Pop these pieces with dimensionals on the bottom of the flower stems over lapping each other a little
11. Make several loops using the Crumb Cake Bakers Twine on top of the pieces of DSP
