This month you need to pull out the punches! I'm sure some of you have those border punches...somewhere. I have a "few", well, more than a few actually.

Use your border punch, any kind, any theme...and punch away.

Here are 2 simple examples for you, using a somewhat untraditional color choice, with a white card base. The second card has silver glitter paper below the punched area.

Good idea Pat!
These samples are really pretty.

Ooh nice cards and great idea Pat. Amazingly I have maybe just one border punch but I'm sure I can come up with an alternative.

Ooohh...aaahhh...

I joined in a 100 days of creating challenge so my plan is to get caught up again on all the card challenges. My Vagabond might get a work-out this month.

very pretty
I hope to join in and get caught up

I bet that silver glitter paper makes them look really special. My border punch is already sitting on my workbench!

I think all my border punches went kaflooey back in Hurricane Irene.... but if I can't find one of those, I'll use some of the borders in my Sizzix die set that I just HAD to have but haven't even used yet...

Oh, very pretty Pat! I'm sure I can find my border punches.

I don't have any border punches so used dies. The gold is one border cut into sections.

Ooooh! Pretty! How intricate. Did you use dryer sheets?

Very nice Marianne! Thanks for joining in.

Thanks, Pam, yes, it is a very intricate die. I didn't use the third border of it. No, dryer sheets were not involved, I never buy them. I did have Press and Seal but have never made it work. So, it's just poke and poke and it doesn't take long.

Very pretty Marianne! I don't use dryer sheets either but I do use the foil, makes it much easier.

I didn't find any border punches... but I used my Sizzix border dies for the first time.... added some Wink of Stella for a little glimmer and some diecuts... and more easy peasy cards!!

Great cards Debi.
