You are just punches away from a simple background. Today's 1 Minute to "WOW" Video Tutorial shares the fun of layering punches to get a modern graphic look . . . the perfect foundation for a pretty sentiment.
Here's the front cover of Frontgate catalog that served as my inspiration:
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
Think outside the square. Imagine replacing the oval punches with flowers, hearts, circles or even three bitty hearts assembled as a shamrock for St. Patrick's Day. - Pumpkin Pie paper snipped blossoms and Stampin' Dimensionals take the sentiment to a new level (literally).
- The 3/4" x 15/16" Oval Punch (120908) is not in any Stampin' Up! catalog but IS a carryover (still available) from the Holiday Mini. Click for all Holiday Mini Carryover items.
- The "for you" stamp from Sale-A-Bration's Punch Bunch coordinates with the Stampin' Up! 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch. I love the touch of white it leaves around the edges of the images. Really defining!
