Punch All Over the Page Aperture Card

Greetings everyone. This card was inspired by our latest beautiful weather. We got snow!!! :-)

Do you 'member a while back when I used the Martha Stewart Circle Cutter to cut various sized circles and then used the Swirling Lace corner punch all around it? See below.

Well, I thought how about using the Punch All Over the Page (PAOTP) on one of those circles. So, I chose the 3" circle, and used the Rose Window PAOTP.

Can you see a li'l white semi-circle shape in the bottom of the PAOTP circle? TBA later. :-)

The card base is 5" x 10", folded. The top layer is 4.75" square. Used the Snow Flakes Cuttlebug folder. Used the PAOTP through both the cardstock and patterned paper on top. Didn't place exactly in the centre -- a little more to the top of the card. Attached the PAOTP 3" circle.

Well, let's see what that li'l semi-circle shape might be:-
It's a li'l snowman peeking through! :-)

Used the Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder on the inside of the card, and then utilized the plastic that houses a Cricut cartridge, for the "window" effect.

Used the DecoArt Snow Writer on the white ripped paper. See how it sparkles? There are various Snow Writers --- one that's just plain white and this one, which glistens.

Pop-dotted the snowman on top and added a computer-generated sentiment.

Made the following card for a dear friend of mine. No idea why the grass is showing "brown" -- it's actually green. Maybe I forgot to water it!! LOLHere's the inside:-

The sentiment was computer-generated.

The scalloped circle was from something I had before. I have nooooo idea where it came from – if it was a Cricut cut or from a punch, or maybe even my Slice machine. :-)

NOTE: the first page has the ovals and “ewes”. Make sure you “hide contour” the “thank” on the “thank ewe” oval. I saved it w/ the “hide contour” on but, for whatever reason, it didn’t stay.

My Cuddlebug Folder storage...

3-ring zippered binder.....

Can't really see it in the pic, but I have pix of each folder
