To Die or to Punch

Hello!  Since it is Wednesday, that means it is time for another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week our challenge theme is Dies Cuts and/or Punches.  I tend to go for die cuts.  How about you?  Which is your favorite?


Our youngest daughter graduates from college next month.  I know it will be a crazy time, so I thought I would get her card done now.  I saw Graduation Girl from Kenny K and just knew she was perfect for the card.  I colored her with Copics and cut her out using the silhouette.  I have to admit to almost forgetting the die cut!  I had to take Graduation Girl off of the card to add it in.  I even used some of the negative pieces from the die cut as embellishments.

I also used some papers from The Paper Temptress on this card.  I wish I could have gotten a better photograph because they are so fabby in real life!  The base card is the Retro Silver Lustre and the black is the Laser Black Glossy Lustre. Both give such a fabulous impact because of their laser embossed pattern.  They have so much shimmer and shine in real life.

We have three wonderful sponsors for you this week.  You can pop over to each shop by clicking the badges below.  But don't say I didn't warn you.  Your wish list will fill up fast!
