Priceless Donut Hole Punch Card


Here is a card that was created by Dawn Rapsas. The only thing I added was the greeting. To me a card isn't a card without some greeting on it. :)

The great thing about this card although you can't see it. Is the circle image from the Priceless stamp set that was stamped on the card actually appears on the inside of the card. So to create the effect we need to create all the windows on the front layers of the card.

To do this, you first need to attach your Groovy Guava Prints Designer Series Paper to the Vanilla cardstock just lightly with mono. Just so it holds it in place while you punch, but so that you can pull it up after you are doing your punching.

So you take the 1 3/8" circle and position at the top of the card as far down it will go and center in the center. So you will be punching through the Very Vanilla card stock and Designer Series Paper.

When you are done remove the Designer Series Paper.

Next attach the Designer Series Paper to the Purely Pomegranate card stock again only attach it lightly, so that you can easily remove once the punching is complete. You will re-punch the 1 3/8" circle again.

Remove the Designer Paper from the Purely Pomegranate.

You will now position the Scallop Circle punch around the hole that was left behind on the Designer Series Paper and punch.

Your scraps of paper that will be left behind if you did the steps correctly will be a 1 3/8'' circle punch of Very Vanilla, Purely Pomegrante, Designer Series Paper. Then you will have a scallop circle, but it will have donut hole in the center.

Next, just attach all the card stock layers. Stamp the image in the center of the card.

My added touch to the card was stamping the greeting Priceless on Very Vanilla scraps and punch it out with the Key Tab punch. I then took the handheld rectangle punch and punch holes on the sides of the greetings. I then threaded the Purely Pomegranate card stock through the bottom to the top and attached a gold brad. I then took the other side of the ribbon and threaded under the card stock to the other side and attached the gold brad again.
