Punches Three Kiwi Girl
Have I mentioned how much I love the hostess set Punches Three yet?
I can’t believe I made four cards with this set. Here is the first one.
The card base is a 4″ x 8″ strip of Whisper White cardstock folded in half.
I cut a 2″ x 4″ piece of Hawaii Papaya Designer Paper, punched the bottom edge with the Scallop Edge Punch and taped it on the lower half of the card.
Over the designer paper I tied Striped Pink Pirouette Grosgrain ribbon.
For the main image I stamped the baby stamp from Punches Three once in Pink Pirouette, one in Riding Hood Red on Whisper White cardstock. I punched the Pink one out with the Wide Oval Punch (Which I LOVE!) and layered it on a Riding Hood Red scallop oval that was cut with Oval Nestabilities. I cut the sentiment part out of the red stamped image, adhered it to the pink layer with dimensionals and placed Ruby Red brads on each end of the cutout.
Easy peasy with an unusual color combo….but I think it’s cute anyway!
Have a great weekend! Hugs and smiles

I can’t wait to get his set! I really wanted the Best Yet because I feel like I’m using the same words over and over but when I put in my order, I mis-clicked and ended up getting Bitty Basics! Not my fave set but I’m pretty sure I’ll end up getting all the L1’s in the end so no worries. Have a great day!

Wow! What a wonderful design. Love the crisp, clean look, colors and how you cut out and mounted the punch stamp. After seeing this card, I’m sorry I didn’t order this set! Super card, Beate!

Love the medallion you created with your main image and how you did a bit of paper piecing there - it looks great!
