So most of you guys know by now I'm a shabby, vintage kind of chick. (AND DO NOT TELL ME IT'S BECAUSE I'M 42) *&$*%#@!!! So I was SO excited when friend Carol sent me a link to Crafty Secrets! I ordered some of the acrylic stamps and discovered to my delight that they also sell these cool little books of vintage images that have been reduced down to a manageable size to put on cards! I started playing with them the other night, and let me tell you, a monster has been created. On Saturday my girlfriend Bean is coming over and we're stamping the day away. Be prepped for a lotta vintage stuff comin' your way! This is one of the cards I did. It's a little rascals-type image, and the cool thing is there are words and sayings right in the pack, along with the images!
I tried to get a good pic of some of the images (see left) but photography is NOT one of my talents.
So why is this post labeled cheater cheater? Because if you look at the "king of the castle & all his little rascals" it looks like I used the Stampin up 'ticket' corner punch to embellish the corners. Instead, I just used a regular hole punch and eyeballed it, saving me the $6.00 for the punch. And shipping and handling. HA. Queen of cheap!
Here's how I did the corners...I took off the little flap that normally catches the punched paper, and turned the punch so that I could see how much of the corner is in the punch. Do it to all 4 sides, and there's your ticket punch. Hmph. Now I get to order more stuff from crafty secrets, right? LOL
