Splendid Thoughts

I used some NEW products here.

• Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon
• Festive Pearls
• Very Best Trio Punch
• Soft Sea Foam Cards/Envelopes
  

Check out the cool scalloped corner that the 

Very Best Trio Punch does.

How do you do this?

 

The way to get both corners to be the same is

you have to punch one corner 

& THEN FLIP your card stock over & punch the other corner.
This way they are mirror imaged on the card & both corners look the same.

It is super easy to do!

Look at these........

the card base & envelopes are a SALE-a-bration choice.

You can get them for FREE with a $50 product if you choose.
