Hello! Lisa here with you today to share a card I made for my Mom for Mothers Day. One of my favorite Kreaxions tools is the star template, I just love to use doilies on my cards and layouts and this template is so easy and fun to use! I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #921 to punch my doily and matching border.
Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with us!

Its time again to post over here at the blog and I have a fun tutorial for you to create a baby carriage to put on a layout, card or on altered piece like a banner. I used it for my sister-in-law who had my niece in March.
In my project the tools I used are Kreaxions Circle Cutter, Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch - 904 Circle (with template A) and Kreaxions Star Stencil Octagon.
Here is my card:
Supplies
1- 4 inch circle
2- 1 inch circles
2- 1/2 inch circles
Strip of Pattern Paper
Star Stencil Template
Punch 904 using Template A
Adhesive
Buttons or Brads
Step One:Take your large circle and use the hole in the center as your mark to make marks t remove a section of the circle shown here (sorry for the blurry photos)
Step Two:Grab your star stencil and punch 904 using template A. Start on one of the tips and punch all around. There will be scraps around it so just trim them off.
Step Three:Adhere glue to the circle shown here and then add the doily on top. Bring it over till some of it is on the circle and the rest hanging. Trim the excess off to gret ruffles on the carriage.
Step Four:Take your small circles and glue them together then add buttons on top of it. Then add them to the carriage to create wheels on it.
Step Five:Take the strip of paper trim the top a bit to create a handle for the carriage and adhere it to the back. You are done to add the piece to your project.
I love how it turned out and I will making another one for my brother and his wife when my nephew is due in June.
Thanks for looking
While I was creating this page for my first challenge as a My Scraps and More Design Team Member, I wanted to add some stars to represent the space theme.
Materials – Sketch – CTMH; Cardstock – Bazzill, Bazzill Bling; Patterned Papers, Stickers – October Afternoon (from the My Scraps & More store); Pen – Sharpie; Stickles – Ranger
So I pulled out Kreaxions Punch #913 and started punching! Even though it’s supposed to be a lily, it also looked like a star to me! The border was created border using Kreaxions Punch #913 with Template A. I saved the little pieces and used them to create the center border. The corners were created with Template B. And I created the star using the Kreaxions Star Stencil and punched with no template. I turned my punch over so I could see my placement better.
I just simply punched in the center of each point! Then I added a little dab of Stickles in the centers and I had my star themed page!
So if you love a good challenge, hop on over to the My Scraps & More Birthday Crop where they’re celebrating their first birthday and have some fun! You could win some Authentique papers!
And when you look at your punches, get creative and try new and different things with them! Especially if you start with a scrap or two, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose! Happy Punching! Ginni Gass, DT Member
Good morning and happy Saturday!
I really enjoy making cards and giving them to people. I think it's been a few years at least since I had to buy one. I usually have a stash on hand and then when I need one I go to my stash and pick out the perfect one for that special person. The Kreaxion punches make it easier than ever to make a card, a border or doily adds that perfect touch!
I used the star template and traced it onto my patterned paper, cut it out and then punched each corner of the star with the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #901 to create a beautiful doily! I also used the Kreaxions Punch 604 Butterfly and added a few butterflies to my card:
I would love to see what you create with this punch!
Thanks for taking time out of your busy day and sharing it with us!
This page "sleep" above is a lift from My Scraps and More with the March theme "Let's Lift It". The sample below was from October Afternoon Blog.
This close up shows the Punching detail I used on the border and the doiley. The border is Kreaxions Punch # 309 which I matted a few times for pop and the fall away piece is in top right corner. The doiley is made using the star template and Kreaxions Punch #917 with insert A and I matted it and doodled with white Signo gel pen.
Good morning and happy Saturday! Lisa here with you today to share a layout I made using 2 different punches and the Star Template. I am loving the star template, it makes it so easy to make doilies!
I used the Kreaxions 4 In 1 Punch #921 with insert A to make my doilies along with the Star Template. I used one of the negative pieces from the doily and placed it behind the journaling box and took some of the flower confetti (negative pieces) and dusted my layout with it. I then took my Kreaxions Punch #604 and punched a few butterflies. Here is my layout:
Here is a close-up to show more details:
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

I see Doily shapes everywhere in art and I love it.
So I made one for my card with a Kreaxions 4-in-1 punch that I wanted to share today. It took me a few minutes and I just love the result. I will show you how I did it later in this post. My cut out circle is done with the Kreaxions circle cutter.
Here is a close-up. I punched it out of a Kraft colored cardstock and I added some brown ink to the edges with a Distress stamp pad. The patterned paper is by BasicGrey. The little butterfly is also a Kreaxions punch, I coated it with Glossy Accent after I punched it and I made sure the wings were shapes upwards as it dried.
Here is a glimpse as to how I created the doily. I used the star template by Kreaxions. This is so handy, just trace it on paper and cut it out. I then used the 904 4-in-1 punch without any of the additional plates. I centered the punch over each of the points of the star and punched it. I thne took my scissors to clip the little piece that joins each of the punched out pieces.

Hello and Happy New Year!! I'm feeling the benefit of a few weeks of holiday rest and relaxation and I'm LOVING the spring like weather we have here in Southern California...so much so that I'm feeling springy in my design this week!! Today I'm showcasing the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #921..the sweet little flowers just sing spring to me so I created a little doily with the star template and the punch to make the background for my stamped image. I also used the new Wrought Iron Fence Die we have available in the store to give little Tilda something to jump rope in front of...isn't she cute? She looks like one of my girls just skipping rope on the sidewalk. :) Makes me happy!
Hope you are all having nice weather where you live and if not, then I hope you've enjoyed this little bit of spring.

Hi everyone.. today I am working with a very old photo.. that make you feel like vintage style. That is perfect because we can make a doiley accent with our Kreaxions Punches that will be perfect.
So I started by gathering papers.. some brown and rustic, some prints with brocades, flowers and flourishes. I cutting a star with the template and then punching the peaks with Kreaxions Punch #309 it forms a beautiful doiley accent. I also made another medallion flower.. by cutting the 12" strip and punching it with Kreaxions Punch #310. I used some vintage style stamps, some accent border strips which I used white gel ink outlining on. The medallion centred a cluster of vintage style flowers with some blue wet dots spotted in. Also I had a border punched fall away piece (#913) in my stash in brown and added a white gel dotted to it. The punches simple or complex are perfect for these vintage type pages.
Sure hope your having an amazing and scrappy day.... Bev DT
These are pictures of my parents and youngest brother meeting my youngest grandson Garrett just days after his birth in September 2010.
Such special memories needed special elements. I pulled out my favorite Kreaxions Punch #311 with Template A and created the borders. Then I pulled out the Kreaxions Star Stencil and drew a star. I stamped the star with a Close to My Heart background stamp. As I prepared to cut out my star I saw my old shaped cutting scissors and thought “I wonder…..” I started cutting with the shaped scissors instead of regular ones and found I really liked the effect! Some added Dew Drops and a couple of stickers helped me create the perfect elements for these pages!
Materials – Cardstock – Bazzill; Patterned Papers – K & Company; Border Punch – Kreaxions #311; Shaped Scissors – Provo Craft; Photo Corners – Canson; Pen – Sharpie; Bling – Unknown; Stamps – CTMH; Inks – CTMH, Colorbox; Stickers – Melissa Francis
So I dare you to try something new with YOUR punches the next time you create! Happy Punching!
