I used Kreaxions Punch #917 for the borders and used all the cut-aways all over the page. The hearts on the flowers are from the punched borders and the bottom border is the cut-away from the top border. I used my brand new Silhouette Cameo to cut the layered flowers and added hearts to them as well, attaching them all together with a brad. Then I outlined everything with a pen. Other Materials – All papers My Mind’s Eye except flowers (Bazzill); Pen – Sharpie
And speaking of the Silhouette Cameo if you're looking for an electronic cutter, THIS is the one to purchase!!! I've had a Cricut for YEARS. I was at the Craft and Hobby Association when they introduced what's now called the "Baby Cricut" and ordered one almost immediately. Then a few years ago I upgraded and got a Cricut Expression. I enjoyed it and used it occasionally. But recently I heard a LOT about the Silhouette Cameo. I got some birthday money and had a little extra and started researching to see if I should keep my Expression and buy a program or whatever to upgrade it or if I should order the Cameo. I asked around on the forums I belong to and the resounding answer everywhere I turned was "Get the Cameo!!!" So that's what I did... OMG I LOVE IT!!!! The learning curve was almost instantaneous, it's SO much easier to download any kind of file and use it to cut, and then send it from the computer to the machine and it's DONE! :) Anyway, between my Kreaxions punches and my Silhouette Cameo I'm in heaven!!!
I hope you've enjoyed this card today! You can use any Kreaxions punch to create borders and you could use any kind of die cut or sticker or any embellishment to create your own card like this! Happy Punching and Happy Cutting! Oh and if you're reading this post PLEASE leave me a comment to know you've stopped by! Thank you! Happy Spring!
