The 117154 Regals Collection Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack was punched with the 119865 1-1/4" Square Punch and used the 119871 3/16" Corner Punch on opposite corners.

A very striking card layout!

The bodice of the dress is made with the 119864 Round Tab Punch and the 119869 1/2" Circle Punch.  The skirt of the dress is made with two Blossom Punches.

 The background on this card was heat embossed with 101930 Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder.

 Very clever!!!

1.  Don't design a complicated card.  Keep it simple.

2.  Try to use punches.  Punches are faster to use than cutting cardstock.  I made the custom wording on the outside card on the computer and made sure it fit in the 119849 Modern Label Punch.  I also used the 119868 1" Circle, 119861 1-1/4" Circle and 119860 1-3/8" Circle Punches.

3.  Cut all the cardstock at the same time and keep in piles.

4.  Stamp all the same images at the same time and keep in piles.

5.  Punch all the same images at the same time and keep in piles.

 6.  The fastest way to put this card together was to take all the punches from a pile and adhere them on all the card fronts.  Some people may think it is faster to adhere one from each pile and have the entire outside of the card done.  I don't find that true for me.  Though, I sometimes do that to change it up a bit.  But then I got back to what I was doing before.

7.  Take frequent breaks.  Taking a break is energizing and clears my mind.  I come back to the project with a better attitude.

8.  I like to put the cards in piles of 25.  Part of the game I play in my mind is to just focus on the pile of 25, not the piles of 140.  That is too overwhelming to me.  A little at a time and pretty soon you are done with your project.

And here is a happy me on Sunday morning hold the last two cards, plus 138 more.  I ran out of one color of cardstock, so I used a different color.  I did have two computer printed panels to put inside each of these cards.  A big sigh of relief to be done!

Deb printed her own Designer Series Paper by using 118108 My Digital Studio software.  She used the 105021 White uni-ball Signo Gel Pen for the eyes and the 100082 Black Stampin' Marker next to the eyes.

At my March downline meeting, Kathleen brought these yummies.  She stamped the image from the 119114 Got Treats Stamp Set, punched them out with the 119876 Large Tag Punch and backed it with the 119854 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch.  In between the punches is a cocktail toothpick.  Good ol' 104430 Dimensionals holds everything together quite securely.

Kathleen made rainbow cupcakes in gold cupcake liners.  She frosted the cookies and added yellow chunky gum and green sugar on top.  I didn't realize the thought behind these details at my meeting.  Probably because I couldn't cram them in my mouth fast enough.  Here's the details:  the pot of gold (gold cupcake liners & yellow chunky gum), green sugar (grass), and the end of the rainbow (rainbow cupcakes).  Stamping and baking are all about the details!  Thanks Kathleen!!!
