It’s a gorgeous day in Queensland today!! It’s starting to get a bit fresh in the mornings and evenings so maybe Autumn is coming.
We are saying farewell to our favourite punches this week.
I’m so sad that the circle punches are retiring! They are just so handy and quick to use. My card today is inspired by the card on the bottom right of page 11.
Now I did use the same dsp, the stunning Flowers for Every Season DSP and cut out a couple of strips using the stitched rectangle dies. The flower is from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. I’ve used the 2 1/4″ and 2″ circle punches and coloured it with Just Jade, Mango Melody and Cinnamon Cider blends. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and I’ve used another punch which has retired, Classic Label punch.
Next up is the lovely Tina.
We would love to see your creation using the retiring punches over on at our Facebook group.
Happy Stamping

Such a bright and cheery card. I love the sunflower with the DSP. It is sad to see the circle punches go.
Thank you 😊
I will miss the circle punches too!! Great card – so cheerful and bright!!
Thank you 😊
It is sad that the circle punches are going, Rebecca. I’ll be hanging on to mine though. The stitched rectangle strips look great for the background (and easier than getting out the sewing machine,lol)
Thanks 😊
Your card is fantastic. The strips of DSP look wonderful, and the sunflower finishes it off nicely.
Thank you 😊
