Thank you, HoneyBee Judy, for your awesome array of 'punch' cards!!! For my card, I used the Martha Stewart anywhere heart punch.  I wanted to try something different and thought I would work with making a flower using hearts.  Now, I must say, I knew in my head what I wanted, put never made this flower before.  I envisioned attaching hearts and folding one half to give it dimension.  As I started gluing the tips together, I saw it coming together and felt so proud that I designed this myself!By not attaching any sentiment on the front, this card can be used for just about any occasion.(Sorry, the Stickles were still wet when I had to take the photo.)

I made my card with layers of black and white Cardstock punched with a MS Flower punch.  The large flower is made out of fabic using a Sizzix Die.  I received it at a Swarm (isn't it gorgeous?) 

 The little butterfly is silk.  I can just imagine giving this to one of my BFF's for their BD...

My punchy projects are seasonal, and quite fun to build for adding a lot of personality to your card creations.  They were inspired by Dawn Griffith a couple of years ago, and are still favorites of mine.

 This is Frankie-N-Stein, and he is a standard A2 size card, with 1 3/8 and 1 inch circle punch eyes, eyelids, and nose.  Ink generously, and use dimensional for layering.  Hand cut his hair. 

His friend, Snow-E-Mann, is done the same way, only with a few additonal punches with a paper punch for the mouth, and a holly leaf punch for the decoration on his hat.  Lots of glitter or Stickles dress him up nicely.

We hope you have fun with this challenge, and will give a punchy project a try. 

The comment section below would love to hear from you **wink, wink**..
