Red!

Some time ago I bought the tab punch from Stampin' Up and intended getting the stamps which went with it. Somehow the time went by and before I knew it the stamp set had disappeared from the catalogue. However, I managed to get a set second hand, which arrived today and this is my first play with them. I really like them.
For this card, after heat embossing in gold, I used half a tab to make each handbag, the capital letter C from my Cuttlebug Olivia Alphabet dies for the handles and some commas from my Cuttlebug  Hippie Chick Alphabet dies for the clasps.
Apparently there are loads of things that you can do with this particular punch, but I've yet to exploit more projects. The sentiment is also from Stampin' Up.

    fab Chrissie. I've just made some punch art chocolates and decorated the centres with brackets made from the rounded tab punch. Turn it on it's side (if that makes sense and you'll see the bracket shape)

    How clever of you to think of using comma's and a 'c' to finish off your handbags-inspired!
    Love your new chandelier too.

    I am seriously jealous of everybody who can make a beautiful CAS card, I think it's one of the trickiest styles to make!! And your is just a pure perfection, everything balanced out to perfection!!
