Lace Ribbon Border Punch Cards

The Lace Ribbon BorderPunch is so pretty on its own, but switch up the colors for a two-toned border and you really have a WOW! These cards were inspired by the birthday card I got from my friend Rachel Chamberlain. I used Pool Party and Early Espresso on my cards and added some Rhinestones to really make it dazzle!

First, punch the Lace Ribbon Border Punch in each color. Then, use the 3/4" Circle Punch to punch out the centers of each "flower". Switch pieces so the brown border has the blue flowers (and vice versa) and you have beautiful borders for two cards!

The big ones are the new In Colors -- so yummy! Click here to check out my In Color Bundle. Do you spot the new punch? And Embossing Folder? Check out the links in the list of supplies below to find each item in my Online Store!

The finished card size is 4-1/4" x 5". I had trouble with the layout and finally just cut the card a little smaller. It will still fit in a Medium envelope for mailing.

My Friend "Thumped" Card

We just got back from the meeting in Springfield. I am exhausted, but we had a great time! Here is one of the projects we made last month using the new "My Friend" stamp set and Lace Ribbon Border Punch from the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. Do you love the colors? They are the new In Colors: Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade. (Click here for info about my In Color Product Share.)

The mottled color on the leaf images is created with the "thumping" technique. First, ink your stamp in the lighter color (Lucky Limeade on this card), then use the darker marker with the broad tip and "thump" or tap the marker on the inked rubber. Then, stamp! Here's a close-up of what it looks like:
