December 18, 2020 by Jackie

Hello friends! I’m so excited to share today’s cards. I’ve got the best craft punch for making simple cards! Mix it with beautiful designer paper or your favorite scrapbook paper for a variety of looks. I’m sharing bonus card ideas too!

So, What IS the best craft punch? The Tailored Tag Punch by Stampin’ Up! Ok, so that is just one of my favorite punches but for these simple cards it’s perfect.

The ‘Peony Garden Designer Series Paper’ (DSP) is the paper I chose. You can see how easy it would be to mix and match papers. I’d love to hear your thoughts– do you think this is the best craft punch for these simple cards? Would you use some other paper punch?
