Card with Multi-Shaper Punched Circle

Here's a thank you card, using another one of Nancy's Serendipity Squares.  Here's what I did for this one:
  • I stamped the sentiment on the Serendipity Square (using StazOn ink because the Serendipity square had been finished with a glossy finish) and then added the little brad & photo holder so it pointed to the sentiment.
  • I cut out a black mat with my Spellbinder's Nestability die & Big Shot machine and glued it to the card front.
  • Then I punched a little 4-inch circle mat using my "Love Story" Multi-shaper punch.  I glued this to my black mat and then glued the Serendipity Square on top.
  • I stamped my sentiment on a light-colored piece of paper.  Then bordered it with black borders trimmed with my fancy-edge paper trimmer.
That's it!  The hardest part was the multi-shaper circle mat, and once you get used to using them, they are REALLY easy.  They just require you to be VERY careful each time you line up your punch.
