Paper Crafting Blog Hop August 2023 - Punches Galore!

 Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for August 2023 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects and design styles to share with you this month - and every one of them uses a punch or two!

~*~*~*~*~

Okay - so I love punches!! I really like dies also, but the quick, convenience of punches is just awesome. I also love that Stampin' Up! has put some wonderful circle punches back in both the catalog and online exclusives - I use them all the time. I just recently discovered a really cute fun fold card that doubles as a gift card holder and uses punches - so had to do it for here.

#133782 2" Circle Punch $22.00 (Online Exclusive)*

I used this punch to create my card - a Circle Tab card.

So here is my card -

Starts with a base that is 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 1 1/2", 5 3/4" and 9 3/4". After adding DSP to the top front flap - you punch out a circle trying to center the crease on it. Then you punch another circle (same size or smaller) and will add that back later. Here is the inside of card when open.

And the Gift Card holder section in use -

For my card I used these two sets - which worked perfectly - I stamped the cupcake and colored the frosting. Then stamped just the cupcake liner onto the circle patterned paper fussy cut both and paper pieced the liner onto the other image. Popped it up on my circle to finish off the card - fun, fun, fun!

Hope you like this card/gift card holder - fun and easy with Circle punches!

I featured another version of this on my FB Live recently - here is the link if you are interested in seeing that -- CLICK HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!

Now click on through to the rest of those hopping with me this month to see all of their wonderful creations and inspirations! ~Maureen
