flowers from punch`s

hello everyone,
welcome old and new followers, lovely of you to join my blog.
Gorgeous day today, sun!!!!!!

Rather than make a card, decided to see what flowers I could make from these punch's I bought last year from here  at oyster stamps ..They have been glued to die cuts from my bit box..

all three flowers from "McGill paper blossoms Lily punch".

 

this lily I did from velum in soft lemon & green, stamens have been glittered.

 second flower is a good poinsettia, used micro beads for stamens..

the last one for now another lily very dainty.

card and envelope useing new board

hi Everyone,
hope you are all ok
Taken delivery this afternoon of the new..   We R memory keepers  "Enveloper Punch Board"
from  here at  oyster stamps   brilliant . so easy to use, like the way you can punch your corners and score, also round your corners with this tool.

 

this is the board.  

started making this card yesterday, so board came in very handy for the envelope.

coordinated the envelope to the card which is a 6x6, so for the envelope, paper size I needed was 9 1/2" x9 1/2".

 

lined inside the envelope, was easy to do this.

very good fit.

something to share with you

hi Everyone,
Thought I would share one of my best ever buy`s . received this today from  oyster stamps  here new arrivals.
now these have been out a few years, never new how brilliant there were.
I don't know about you, but when I stamp with clear or rubber stamps, I never get it straight, some reason, I hoover with a clear stamping block, But always stamp cockeyed.. Does this ring a bell!!!

taken some quick photos, now normally I would stamp, then die cut, not anymore with this tool..
this is the results.

 

 

 

 

 

look how small this circle is, this is the first time I have used this stamp press,

 

will post some links to YouTube so you can watch it in action.

Square fancy edging is Martha Stewart  "Vintage Doily"  patp
