CHA was so much fun! As you know Jenni Bowlin's style is one of my favorites. I've had the opportunity of being a guest designer on Jenni's site, have known her for years now and was so excited when she shared early on that she'd like to design some punches with Fiskars. Needless to say, I'm over the top excited about her new Limited Edition punches as many of you are. You might have noticed that most of the prizes I sent out for the on-line CHA CHA CHA crop here were Jenni Bowlin punches. Oh so sweet!
I wanted to share with you that I loved seeing Fiskars in Jenni's booth. It was a lovely sight and the layouts and projects using them . . . a delight. I loved the use of the squeeze punches, border punches and lever punches. I thought I'd share with you this layout that was featured in her booth with lots of layered goodness using one of my favorites . . . Jester border punch. 'Grandma's Doily' lever punch was also used beautifully along with the 'Seal of Approval' squeeze punch.
Speaking of borders . . . I'm going to be sharing with you soon some fun ideas on making your own borders using punches, scraps and more. I look forward to having you share as well some fun ideas for borders!
Have any of you purchased these punches? Created with them . . . especially those that received them as a prize. Share here. Share a link or comment. Inquiring minds want to know.

This is so cool, the Jester Punch layered looks like ornaments to me! And what a great idea to use the Seal of Approval around Grandma's Doily. Those would make great embellishments for anything! I must admit that I had to buy the Scalloped Banner Squeeze punch because the Archiver's by me had it right after Thanksgiving (and of course it's adorable :) I also treated myself to Tab Squeeze because it's great for added dates and such and then after seeing Kelly's (#6558) card I just HAD to have the Blue Ribbon Squeeze. Her card was awesome! I would say this collaboration between Fiskars and Jenni Bowlin was a total success!

That's a great layout and I would love to see it in person! I just received the Jenni Bowlin Flight Squeeze Punch in a prize from Tami and love the beautiful dove it creates. I hope to post something using my prize supplies next week.

I love the Grandma's Doily with the Seal of Approval. I just received the doily punch from Tami (Thanks again Tami!) and I'm even more anxious to use it. It's always great to get additional ideas for uses of your tools.

Great layout. Layering the jester border punch like that gives it a completely different look. I really like how the grandma's doily looks with the seal of approval punch. I have a few of her punches now but have only used the grandma's doily so far.

Beautiful layout - love the Grandma's Doily in combo with Seal of Approval and WOW, that Jester punch is looking more and more tempting every time a see a project using it!!! Grandma's Doily was my favourite when these punches were 1st released, but it seems that I have added almost every one to my wishlist now :)
I hope Tara doesn't mind, but she posted the MOST AMAZINGLY PUNCHY & BEAUTIFUL card over here on our Aussie Fiskars blog. Please check out Tara's card and be inspired.

I was super lucky to win a Jenni Bowlin Blue Ribbon squeeze punch from you during the CHA CHA CHA online crop Cheryl and this card was its first workout. I was really struggling to find my mojo for a birthday card that was needed for today (nothing like last minute projects) and thanks to the wonderful card shared by Kelly #6558 during her secret mission, I found just the perfect inspiration!!!

I love the idea of the scallop with the doily punch. I received one in a RAK and have used the circle but I like the scallop better I think. Thank you for sharing!!
Love to create - Marla#003291
