there's no surprise

hey do you remember those marth border punches i was telling you about??? i know you do! well guess what? THEY CAME IN FINALLY!!!! when i saw that box, i about died with excitement!!! i looooooooooooooved these new punches from the moment i saw them in my email a few months ago and now that they are finally here i am so eager to use them on everything!! check um out!

first we have the borders and corners that work together. the corner punch and the border punch are sold separately. when you purchase one of these punches, i'll go ahead and give you a demo so you wont be confused when you go home and play!

this lacey loopy number is so cute! its designed to be a christmas edger, but i say that it would be so adorable for a little girls page! it would also make a lovely wedding page or a fabulous baby card!

and the snow flurry set is so beautiful! i love how intricate the little flakes are! imagine how delicious this frost will look when its punched out on a diamond bling paper!

and we have my personal favorite, the spider web!!! i bought myself this punch as soon as it came outta the box and believe me, i already tried it out! i punched out an entire 12x12 with this punch and it looks so pretty! i know that sounds kinda weird, but the only 12x12 cardstock i had around was a really pale lavendar. i just figured, why not? its just practice anyhoo!!! so went on my merry way, punching my paper! i think because it was such an elegant color, it made it look more lacey and pretty than gross and spidery. i can show you when you come in!
so those were the corner & border punches, here are the new borders! the great thing about these new border punches is that they fold up to stand up by themselves and they store better!

i love these little mice! they'd be great for a kitty page!
the pumpkins are cool! i've never gone to a pumpkin patch before, but maybe one day i'll hit a real one in the mainland! if you punch out a bunch of these in different oranges and layer them, it makes for a very beautiful pumpkin patch!
the spooky tombstones! i love pretty much anything halloween and i believe it's also martha's favorite holiday (who knew??) so this punch is going to make a great addition to my collection!
next we have the infamous drippy goo punch! i have seen sooo many cute samples with this punch, its unbelievable! you can use it as an icky border for a page; edge your goodie-bag toppers, deck-out the edge of a scary holiday card and so much more! i've also seen it used as frosting on a cake, drippy ice cream and as candy!

i am loving this forest punch! this is another one that i like to make layers with. punch it out with a bunch of greens and you can frost the tip with a white pen or a shimmery white inkpad.
i'm not sure what it is about this frosty villiage border that i love so much! maybe its the tiny houses or that little church, whatever it is, i cant resist!
and finally we have the icicle punch! it looks so beautiful punched out with a shimmery white vellum! but i've also noticed that it makes great grass! yet again, i punch it out in different greens and layer them for a really full look. i've even seen it used as frankenstein hair! the possibilities really are endless!

and here we have a couple more punches! one is a corner punch with bats! and the other is a beautiful snowflake shape punch!

if you'd like any of these punches, feel free to give us a call at 680-9000. we take visa and mastercard over the phone, or we can hold them until the end of the next day.

I'll see you later!!!
