4 Crafty Chicks Challenges {4CC #343} - Punches or Dies

Wow! The month of March is just well...

Marching right along!  I can't believe there's only 

two weeks left of it already!  

Soon it will be Easter! 

This week the theme challenge at 

4 CRAFTY CHICKS CHALLENGES 

 4CC #343 (chosen by Lori) is Punches or Dies!

Ohhhh this is a favorite one for me! 

I love to use both as often as I can! 

Especially dies that coordinate with stamped images 

such as these adorable "Peep" bunnies that  I used on my card

 The bunnies are from last year's Simon Says Stamp March 

stamp kit (yes it took me that long to actually use it - shameful!).

The stitched panels are from dies (Lawn Fawn) as are the bunnies

 and their bows (Simon Says Stamp).  The grass is a punch 

(Martha Stewart)  which I then ran the punched strip through

the Big Shot again with the stitched rectangle for the bottom part. 

The plaid paper (Echo Park) and sequins were also in the kit.

The pretty springy inks are from Stampin' Up! 

Here's the finished inside too

Peeps on cards are really the only type of Peeps I like.

I think I ate too many of them once when I was young

and haven't been able to touch them since - lol.

But I sure do think they make cute Easter cards!

clear stamp sets called "A Bit Smart Assy 2"
 for one of my daughter's gym teachers that she
was lucky enough to be a TA for that last semester.
