Use a Punch (an old one?)

This both Operation Write Home Mid Week Throw Down and Shopping Our Stash Challenge 112 are to use punches.  SOS added the caveat that it had to be my OLDEST punch. 

Here is my card:


My oldest punch used on this card is the maple leaf.  It is probably 20 years old, one of the old spinner punches that has 8 different leaves.  I used Spellbinder dies for the square windows and the sentiment and matting.  I used an old Fiskars wavy blade for the edging, and stash dotted ribbon.  The sentiment is from TPC Studios, paper from DCWV Autumn Stack on a kraft card base.

  2. Well your maple leaf punch may be old but it never goes out of style! You show them in your design quite nicely. Such lovely fall colors.

  6. Fabulous card! I really like how you framed the leaves within the punched squares, makes them look bigger than they are! Pretty warm colors! TFS!
