I wanted to play along with this great sketch from
CASe this sketch#20, so I dug deep into my supplies and discovered a punch I'd completely forgotten I had!
Does anyone have one of those little file folder punches like this one by McGill? I haven't used it since my scrapbook days, but I pulled it out and decided I'd have some fluttering hearts either falling down into it, or floating up out of it. I suppose it depends on whether you'd see the glass half-full or half empty :) I used some scraps of pink gingham to line the folder, and make some matching mini hearts with a SNSS heart border die. The smooch is a big brad I bought at a trade show last year. The sentiment and tiny hearts beneath it were done with a retired SU hostess set, and I believe it was called So Many Sayings, but I'm not positive about the name. I liked the way this turned out so I made a couple more in different colors.....
I'm also entering these cards into the
Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground #65
since I used lots of leftover snippets to put these cards together. The card bases are all vanilla and IRL, the file folders look like the real thing in miniature size :)
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!

Oh these are just precious. I never saw this punch before. Isn't it fun to find things you've had hidden away? You did a fabulous job with these hidden gems of yours. Enjoy your day.
ADORABLE!!! I can't imagine what other goodies you have hidden away in your stash, but you've done a great job bringing this one back to life.
Carol, these are over the top adorable!! So CAS and perfect. I've never seen a punch like that but glad you got it out and used it! TOO CUTE!

Brilliant idea to have the heart fallig like that...fabulous cards.
Love your CAS cards. No, I don't have one of those file folder punches and don't think I've ever seen one. It's just the cutest thing.
Those smoochie lips are too cute.
Hope you don't get our wind. I thought the world was ending yesterday with the horrific winds we had. LOL
What a wonderful card! Isn't it great when you find a treasure? Don't let it hide again, my friend.
