Hello, Angela here!  Dies and Punches...great challenge...I used them all the time!  I loved this new "Love Heart" image of Em's and thought it would go perfectly with this heart border die in my stash.  I colored the image with pencils, cut it out, and popped it up.  Why do I always think fussy cutting is a great idea until I'm in the middle of doing it?  LOL  I embellished simply with red gems.  I hope you will put your dies and punches to work and play along!

Audrey  here using Millie Birthday for my card.  I chose to color her in primary/neutral colors and cut her out with a Nestie die.  I also used a Nestie to cut the sentiment.  I used an EK Success punch for the borders on the middle piece and added bling flourishes and glittery bling dots to round out the card.  Sure hope you like it!!

Hey everyone, it's Kathy here! Dies and punches? Yes, please! I love both and have quite a stash in all shapes and sizes. I never make a card with out using one or the other, often both. Here I used some round, rectangle and word window type nestabilities and a SU border punch. Hope you will take some time this month and play along with us!

Hello, its Sally here. Today, for our challenge we are using Dies and Punches! My favourite tools!  So I chose one of Emma's new images, Little Princess kissing a frog.  I coloured here with my Graph'it markers, used Pan Pastels around the edges and then cut a frame die.  Found some lovely stripey paper in my crafty stash and matted the image onto it.  I then stamped and punched some butterflies and I had the perfect sentiment "Make a Wish".  I hope you like it x

Hi guys, Em here :-)  For my card I went with the new 'Love Heart' digi, coloured him with my copics, and mounted the image with foam pads. I punched the love hearts in using my Heart Tonic Studios Paper Punch. The papers behind the hearts are both from the 'Love Me' paper pad by My Minds Eye - lots of love on this card :-D Hope you'll all play along - can't wait to see what ya'll come up with this month xxx

Remember that you don't need to use a Flat Friends digi to enter our challenges anymore but there is an extra prize on offer if you do :-) 

Also, each challenge can only be entered once so unfortunately multiple entries will not be entered into the draw xx
