What took me so long to discover the fun of the paper punch?
I have but two punches but they are making crafting with paper so much fun.
I have been making les petits tiroirs for the upcoming bazaar and have also added a bunch of sets to my Etsy shop, tinkered treasures.

The small matchboxes make sweet holders for little gifts and stocking stuffers,

and Chanukah gelt (money or chocolate coins given to children on the festival of Chanukah).

Well, I have lots of paper to clean up!
Wishing everyone a happy weekend.

ReplyDeleteYour not the last one to get a paper punch! I got my first one last week and used it for the first time last night, it is a tag punch and will be perfect for holiday gifts! I had so much fun and it was so easy. i just wish they were not so honken big!!! It makes them difficult to store!

How Cute !! I love the Blue and Red together :) Just darling :) I just saw a tutorial on how to make a wreath with those scalloped punches and old book paper and glitter. Cant remember where now. I don't have a paper punch, maybe I need to get one :) Hugs :) :)

You have an eye for putting everything together so perfectly!!! I love your hanging Christmas balls in the post below. That looks so cute over the kitchen window! Enjoy your Sunday, Sweetie! xo Paulette

Joyce...trying to catch up!
(Have you ordered from CK USA yet?)
Oh I love that! Would be bad form to grovel and beg for some? I dont think so either!
ReplyDeleteHmmm I think I need to get some punches. Those look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteDearest Elyse,
ReplyDeleteI have not gotten over here to see what you have been up to as much as I would like. Your idea's and craft work are so inspirational and cute as a button! I've have been making decorated matchboxes for years and I love to do them.
I invite you to come along with my December give away. I'd love to get to know you more. It is a spin on Alice in Wonderland falling down the rabbit hole into a Christmas mystery.
Cheers to the season and making new blog friends!
Blessings to you and yours,
~Jacqueline from Once Upon A Fairyland~
Love your sweet holiday boxes Elyse! Aren't punches the best?! I just got 2 new ones, a crown and one like yours!

Elyse, I love a good punch! Martha has it all and your punch creations are simply divine. Loved your Martha moment. I would have freaked out and stumbled over my words if I were picked from the audience to speak. Did Martha like your sweet gift bag?
