Congratulations ladies, please email me at cardenvydt@gmail.com with either First Class Punch or Mailbox Punch in your subject line and I will email you a badge for your blog! Thank you for joining us for this challenge!

We have a fun challenge for you this time--Punch It!  We're asking you to  create an A2 (4.25" x 5.5") card using punches (or dies).  That's really a simple request but can lead to so many options as you can see in the following cards by our Cards in Envy Designers!

 Danie, D-Dazzled Scraps
Danie's Holiday Wishes card features punched ornaments!



Debbie, Scrap Enabler 
Debbie used 3 different dies (flowers, leaves and lattice) and created the sentiment tag with a punch for a gorgeous birthday card!


Denise used  4 Nesties and two punches on her adorable Thanksgiving card!


 Karen, Calm Creations
Karen's sweet Valentine's Day card has heart punches from Kreaxions!


Kristie created this adorable pig by making his ears with a leaf die cut and his nose from a button die!


Lisa used a scalloped circle punch and cut her patterned papers to look like flowers on this stunning "Hello There" card!


Marilyn  created her cute Hello Kitty in airplane card  with  a die cut from the Cricut cartridge" Hello Kitty Greetings" and the  clouds are a EK Success punch! 



  Patricia, Thinking of Inking
Patricia created this adorable Angry Bird card with various punches!




   Sandy (Challenge Host), Sandy's Crafty Creations
Sandy's card features an  owl that is punched with a Stampin' Up owl punch and the branch is a Tim Holtz scroll die for a whimsical Thanksgiving card!



Wendi  used a fabulous  border punch and then punched out  the snowflakes for her Winter Wonderland card!
Now it's your turn. But first a few reminders:
  1. No square cards.  All cards entered must be A2 size (4.25" x 5.5")
  2. No lumpy, bumpy cards.  Elements on your card need to be relatively flat (no thicker than 1/4")
  3. Limit entries to 3 per challenge.
  4. Entry must be for the current theme: Punch It! (Use a punch or a die on your card)
Our Designers will be voting on their favorite cards which will be announced on the Wednesday following the close of the challenge. We will have one FIRST CLASS and three or more IN THE MAILBOX.  Each chosen will receive one of our fun badges for their blog!

Additional rules can be found under the Challenge Guidelines tab at the top under our blog header.
