Cool Tools Week - the Punches Challenge

I have another card today that I'm entering into the Punches Challenge in the Moxie Fab world! The challenge is to use your punches in an innovative way. I embossed a piece of white cardstock with a Cuttlebug star embossing folder and then used a punchAbunch star punch to cut the stars for my card. The punch fit the embossed stars perfectly, and I think the embossing gives these stars a little extra punch! (no pun intended) I've always loved the red, white, and blue color combination, and use it often for my OWH cards, so this will be in my next box for them. The sentiment is from the SNSS Poppies & Greetings clear stamp set, and was done in Memento Danube blue ink. I scored a couple lines for placement for a piece of red gingham ribbon. The blue squares were done with a SU! square lattice embossing folder and a SU! square punch.
It's cool tools week over at the MoxieFab blog and there are several challenges there which encourage us to use the wonderful tools we have on hand. It's all to celebrate the release of the new Cool Tools magazine and you could win a copy by playing along!
Thanks for stopping by for my 2nd post today :) Make it a great Friday!

Carol, Another winner. Love the Red White and Blue combo. That punch did fit perfectly. I'm still trying to get to my Digi Challenge card. I've been in and out all day. I'll get there sooner or later.

This is a great card, Carol! Love your punched stars and the lattice folder makes a beautiful resting place for them. You just couldn't have chosen a better ribbon.
