A New Toy

I left the house Saturday morning before noon with my shopping list and coupons in one hand and my 40% Hobby Lobby and 40% and 50% JoAnn's coupons in the other. I didn't get home until 4:30! I went to Hobby Lobby first, didn't find a whole lot there so I used my coupon on a $20 card magazine. I did pick up a few small things that were on sale but nothing real outstanding. Then it was off to JoAnn's where I spent the most, got a pattern and some brads on sale. I used my 40% coupon on a Cuddlebug Embossing Folder (set of 4 B'day) and the 50% one on the item to the left. I've always wanted to try one of these so I splurged and bought one. It's a Fiskars Circle Border Punch. This one is called Antique Elegance. It border punches 4" and 6" circles. I got it home and had to try it out right away...........

This is the card I made using my new border punch. All supplies except the white paper are Stampin' Up!
The stamp sets are Bodacious Bouquet and Curvy Verses. Ink colors used were Rose Red , Always Artichoke and Barely Banana marker. Cardstock is Almost Amethyst. I stamped the leaves and then cut them out and adhered them to the card. I thought it looked like it needed something else so I added the button.
So, what do you think? Go ahead, boost my ego and leave a comment...
Happy Stamping, Rita
