Can't go to the CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) Winter Trade Show? Me either but you can see what's going on there with some great pix and videos at http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/
They are having a great time there. It's almost like being there yourself.

Cutting & Trimming Challenge
Oooo la la! Who doesn't love feathers!?!
I used my paper trimmer to create the shape at the top of this card and used a round-edge punch on the corners to soften the edges. I used lime green, hot pink and red paper. I added gems in matching colors along the top to accent the dramatic angles. I am entering these gorgeous pink feathers and their card in the Cutting & Trimming Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Punches Challenge
Punches! Punches! Punches!
I love punches! They make cardmaking so much easier. I like using them in different ways than they were intended. In this card that I'm entering in the Punches Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, I used Fiskars' tree punch. As you can see in the squares (an EK Success punch) that run along the left side of the card, I used the same tree punch. It's not noticable right away but if you keep looking you will see them as a part of the same punch. I reversed the order of the layering of the teal and purple colors on the tree and the squares and offset them a smidge to create depth. This card was a lot of fun and super quick to create.

I'll have more cards up soon and will do some tutorials for some of the techniques I use in my cards. I just got the ability to make video so check back in soon.
I will also be having a giveaway of some stamps and dies as soon as I have 25 followers signed up. So spread the word and I'll randomly draw a name from all who sign up to follow my blog. Good luck!
