New patterns

Ann's Paper Art has published three new patterns and I had the chance to play around a bit with them.

For the first card I used pattern a693, a die from Marianne design and a corner punch from EK success

The second I made is with pattern a695 and the image is from card embroidery sheet 6.

The third and last for now is a combination of the new patterns to show how much you can do with them and that they are perfect to combine.

This fortnight challenge is "Use a punch".

Well since I still have enough punches next to all the dies this is not too difficult. I used a border punch from Martha Stewart, layered arches. The funny ostrich image is from Digi Stamps 4 Joy.

Old stencil

When cleaned my crafting supplies I came across some old stencils, the one I used before I got a machine. This stencil is a stitching stencil from Ann's Paper Art that is for manual pricking. I loved finding this forgotten treasure.

Mix and match

We did a challenge to mix the patterns of one of the embroidery sheets from Ann's Paper Art with the an image from a different sheet. This is the card I created for that.
