Card-using a punch

For the challenge today I used the Fiskars Scalloped Circle Squeeze Punch to create the tree.

I inked the edges of the card blank with Tattered Rose Distress Ink.  I sewed some kraft cardstock onto the card blank and attached the journalling label.

Using the Squeeze Punch I made five circles and used them as the tree top.  I inked each one and stuck to the card blank.  The tree trunk is a die-cut.

The ‘thanks’ sentiment is a rub-on.

I tied ribbon round the whole card blank and tied in a bow.  Then attached the button.

There are so many different things to create with a simple hand punch!  Look forward to seeing your creations….
