As promised, the Best Creation In. Design Team has a fun blog hop today with punches as our theme.  If you have just happened upon my blog today, you may want to go to the start of the blog hop so you don't miss a single one of the fun ideas we have to share today.  If you have arrived here from Karen Thind's blog, you are in the right place.

I chose to make some textured background paper with my border punches.  For those of you who are tactile like me, this idea is really going to appeal to you. 

"A Very Bunny Day"

Supplies:  Paper (Best Creation Inc.), Button (Epiphany Crafts), Letters (American Crafts), Flower (Recollections), Punches (EK Success, Fiskars, Martha Stewart), Trims (Bo Bunny, Prima)

To create this look, simply punch a series of borders in different styles and widths and attach to your background paper.  I chose to do white on white because I really love the effect but you could do any colour combination you wish.  Once the borders are adhered, stitch them all down.  This not only acts are a great way to keep everything in place, it adds another really interesting design element.

You can get a closer look at the borders and stitching in this detail shot.  Notice also the custom Epiphany Crafts buttons I made for the page.

Before you go to the next stop on your blog hop, TINA McDONALD, the letter you need from me is E.  Thanks so much for visitng and Happy Hopping!
