Imagine how surprised I was a few months ago.... a few days after I held my GIRLS DAY IN fundraiser for the CANCER COUNCIL....when I received this gorgeous handmade "THANK YOU" Card in my maibox.
Glenda had this sent to me to thank me for inviting her to the day...and she told me how wonderful it was for her personally after a very trying 2012 for her and her family.......
Glenda actually had this made by her SIL'S 83 year old mother.......isn't it stunning.
I thought I'd share this today as it shows how you can just use one Border Punch to add some class to a Card.....in this case....the lady has used the Fiskars Sunburst Border Punch...one of my very favourite older punches......but one that I also use a lot on projects.
So why not try something like this next time you are creating a card for someone....get out one of your Fiskars Border Punches to create that classy edge.
I also love the placement of the purple diamente....perfect for the pendant. THANKS GLENDA!
We hope you are enjoying the CARD A DAY Feature we have going on here at the moment....if you don't wish to miss anything...why not SUBSCRIBE TODAY to our Blog....it's FREE and it only takes a minute.....then you shall have only one email sent to you each day that something is posted.

Every year I check my Card list and then check it again......it seems that every year I manage to forget someone....know the feeling?
Well here are three quick and easy Christmas Cards that I made up in no time at all....using supplies from my stash.
This was some leftover cardstock from the Kaisercraft Minit Twist Range that I have been using this year......................using my Fiskars Trimmer I cut the card to size and then folded in half and scored.
I found some coordinating diecuts from the same range....and distressed around the edges with fine sandpaper......so that the white core showed through.....I love doing this....it really defines the border of the shape.....I then attached to the front of my Card with some 3 - dimensional tape.
Now I just have to write inside and get to the Post Office first thing Monday morning!
Can you believe that there are only 10 sleeps untiL CHRISTMAS DAY....OMG......so much still to do!
Our CARD A DAY FEATURE was suppose to end today....but we still have a few more card shares coming up......so make sure you drop by.....we hope you have enjoyed seeing all the different styles and techniques that the Fiskars Craft TEAM have been sharing!

Do you sometimes get given cards that you just want to keep sharing with others? I do!
So sometimes I re-cycle...and re-purpose them.......such as this card above!
I 'll show you how I did this.
It all started when we were sent this THANK YOU Card by our family recently.
It was such a pretty little thank you card...
I just loved this Card with the colours and cute butterfly...so I grabbed by Fiskars Trimmer
Found a piece of white cardstock in my craft supplies......
......and measureed it so that it was slightly wider than the Little Thank you Card......all the way around.
Then I put some liquid adhesive....my good old Helmar 450 underneath the front flap to hold it down securely and next I added some more underneath the little card......and between the white cardstock.
You could use double sided tape to do the same thing.
So now I have a NEW Card to keep this GIVING going......quick and easy....
If you try one of these re-cycle,re-purpose Cards yourself in the future.....let us know how it goes!

A great way to make a fun card is to use one of the many Fiskars Templates as Tamara has done here.
Here's what she had to say:
This card takes advantage of a beautiful pattern paper by Teresa Collins as well as my USE and Christmas 1 Template for the Christmas tree centrepiece. I cut a vertical fold card 4 inches wide and 11 in long (this means you can get three cards out of a 12x12 sheet of scrapbook paper) with my Fiskars Rotary Trimmer and then folded it in half. The tree is cut out with my USE and template from a piece ofcream card stock. I rounded the corners on both the card base and cream card stock using my 1/4in corner rounder to add some interest and match the rounded shape of the tree branches. I stamped a sentiment from Penny Black and coloured the leaves of the mistletoe, used a black pen to draw fake stitching around the tree and border and secured it to the card base. To finish it off I added a bit of sparkle with self adhesive rhinestones (it is a Christmas card after all!) and a star at the top if the tree. This design is would be easy and cost effective to mass produce just make sure you use a heavyweight (card stock weight) patterned paper for the base or it will be too flimsy.

Another lovely card has been created today by Tamara from Townsville.....here's what she had to say:
This card uses the fun Christmas range Mint Twist from Kaisercraft as well as one of the Fiskars interchangeable border punches, Banners Away. I added some grosgrain ribbon with some help of my micro tip scissors and stamped a sentiment from an older Fiskars Christmas stamp set. My card bases and layers are all cut with my trusty Fiskars rotary trimmer.
