CTC314 – Favourite Retiring Punch

Hello and welcome to my blog. We’ve had some cooler weather here in Queensland this week. It’s been a welcome change, Marvi has definitely felt it too as he’s been a lot cuddlier. There’s nothing better than a cuddly Marvi lol.

This week at CASEing the Catty we are creating a project with our favourite retiring punch. You may have hopped over from Michelle’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

I’ve used 3 retiring punches in my project, Classic Label Punch, 2″ Circle Punch and the Perennial Flower Punch. I’ve used the card on page 44 of the Annual Catty as my inspiration.

I’ve changed my card from portrait to landscape and changed the colours, but the layout is very close to the sample card.

My card base is Thick Whisper White with layers of Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White. I’ve stamped “Happy Birthday” from Itty Bitty Birthdays several times and punched them out with my Classic Label Punch. Then I’ve arranged them on my Whisper White layer.

The flowers are from the Floral Essence stamp set and are stamped in Petal Pink ink on Petal Pink card stock, then punched out with the co-ordinating Perennial Flower Punch. I’ve layered four flowers together. I’ve added some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots for a touch of bling.

Marvi was looking a bit cute and cuddly so I snapped a quick picture. This is his classic “rub my tummy” pose, but only if you dare!!!
