Lots of stuff going on today. First I was having a play with my new toy earlier. I got this Martha Stewart punch and stamp set. The stamps slot into the top of the punch for storage and the punch matches the stamp design so you can stamp and then punch out the shapes.
These papers are lovely I will defo recommend them. They're a mix up of My Minds Eye 'Alphabet Soup' and Cosmo Cricket 'Togetherness'. The Alphabet soup papers came in two designs, boy and girl but I went with the boy ones because they're not totally boyish they're actually quite neutral I think. They've got a lovely vintagey circus thing going on which I'm loving at the mo.
Well that's almost it just got one more thing - the brooch draw from last weeks workdesk Wednesday - if your name is Rachel M and you love lime green I've got a brooch for you....
Happy crafting guys, whatever you're up to today! You can carry on your Workdesk Wednesday fun on Julia's blog here, http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/

oh wow hun,love what you have done with the butterflies I agree with you too its best to cut out first then stamp but not often i use them either,beautiful set of papers,some of my favs,there,love that brooch too so clever hugs cheryl xx
uhm I wondered about the stamps in the MS punch - keep being tempted by the cupcake one but perhaps not now I have read this. Not sure I would be adept enough to punch and sew!!! but the effect is fab.

I love your garland, so delicate and pretty. I got some MS lace punches which came with a some stamps. The punches are great but the stamps are not the best, I agree.
I like your blog and will be back.
take care.

Lovely goodies and that garland is gorgeous.
I was thinking of getting the ms punch but having heard what you said I don't think I will. MS products are usually so good
Thanks for sharing hugs Candace
Ooohhhh those butterflies are so pretty. Such a shame the punch/stamp wasn't what you were hoping for.

I was thinking of taking a butterfly garland like that and use it as a mask on a card while spraying it with Glimmer Mist!
haven't got any of those punches you end up spending a fortune on them as you want them all
hugs
Oh Leo, thank you, thank you. I have a bird punch with a stamp on top for storage, but didn't know how to use it. Now I know what the stamp is for. I think you are right. The punch would be a bit hard to fiddle with after stamping.
Thank you for the mini tutorial. Sorry I'm late getting here. It was sure worth it, though. Happy belated WOYWW.
Fab idea with the butterflies, they look fab.
Happy Creating.....sorry i'm a little late!
