Do you like my new blog header? I made it using the new Hostess Digital Content option in the 2011 Summer Mini Catalog called "Cheerful Treat" (pg. 4). I had so much fun putting it together in My Digital Studio! The stitching is from the "Simple Stitches and Corners" digital file (126025) that was just released on Tuesday.
Here's another card using "The Open Sea" stamp set. I stamped my images and added the Jumbo eyelet and the ribbon--but the card still needed something else. So I came up with the idea of this punch art ship's wheel.
Here are the easy steps:
1. Use the Snowflake Punch on Crumb Cake card stock.
2. Cut off all the angled parts of the snowflake.
3. Use the 1" Circle Punch on Crumb Cake card stock.
4. Turn the 1 1/4" Circle Punch upside down and center it around the previously punched area to create a ring.
5. Optional--I sponged the 2 pieces with Early Espresso Classic Ink.
6. Layer the ring over the trimmed snowflake.
7. Optional--Add a tiny brad from Vintage Trinkets in the center of the wheel.
All supplies Stampin' Up!
This is entirely TOO clever! Thank you for an awesome idea!

I noticed your blog header right away and I started looking for who designed it. :-) I think your header is so pretty. The ship wheel is such a great idea.

Thanks for the great idea. I wonder if you could make a giant wheel with Snowflake #2 die for a scrap page.

Wow you're clever. I would never have thought of using the snowflake die like that. Great Idea! Great blogheader too!
