Crazy 4 Challenges

I met a friend at the local farmer's market yesterday and we were talking Stampin' Up.

I explained that I had this bird punch that wouldn't work any more and she told me about a YouTube video.

Fixing a stuck punch

Though this is not an approved by Stampin' Up video I had bought my punch second hand and figured ... why not?

So I tried it and as you can see by the card  it now works.

The base card is of kraft card stock with a layer of white card stock.

The top piece is from a pad of white embossed kraft card stock I bought in the sale place at Michael's.

I stamped the verse from Stampin' Up "Sweet Essentials" with Versamark ink and dipped it into white embossing powder before heating it with my heat tool.

I then trimmed it out to meet the sketch and applied it to the front of the card.

To finish the card I stamped the bird from Stampin' Up "Language of Friendship" with Versamark and embossed it using white embossing powder.

Using my "newly" revived punch I punched out the bird and wing and applied it to the front of the card with glue dots.
