April showers bring May flowers...and so does the Ornament Punch!


We're in the middle of April right now and the forecast is calling for rain. The best thing about a nice spring shower, is the pretty flowers that follow.
That means it is also time to bring out the Stampin' Up! Ornament Punch. Yes, you heard that right...the Ornament Punch! No, it isn't anywhere near Christmastime, but it's time to dust off that Ornament Punch and put it to work making these beautiful roses.
We simply punched out a minimum of 13 'petals' with the punch and rolled them around a pencil, with some of them being wrapped tighter than others. We then bent back to top part of the ornament and stuck them down on our card, starting from the outside and working our way in, making sure they were staggered and that the ones that were wrapped tighter were in the center.
Of course, we had a few laughs over the thought of actually trying to send a card like this in the mail! :) This is one of the special cards that definitely needs to be hand delivered! Imagine what a nice gift it would make though, all wrapped up in a pretty box with a nice gift card?
