This is the card I was working on when my best laid plans went totally South. The We R Memory Keepers punch jammed, AGAIN, and it took at least 10 minutes for Fred and me to get it to release the paper trapped inside.
Once it was unjammed, I was able to punch enough border strips to complete the series of cards I had laid out. When I picked up my bottle of Scotch Quick Dry adhesive to attach the borders, the side split and glue gushed down the side of the bottle.
By that time, I was in no humor to finish these! I cleaned up my mess and quit for the night. Some days it just doesn't pay to make a plan! LOL!
So, I've placed We R Memory Keepers punches on my "don't buy any more of these" list. They're marginally better than the mediocre quality Martha Stewart punches I own and they cost quite a bit more than the MS ones.
The only reason I have the WRMK punches is because I got carried away watching a presentation on HSN during a scrapbooking show. Silly me, I signed up for an auto-ship program and am scheduled to receive three more shipments.
***note to self: CALL HSN AND GET THOSE STOPPED!***
The stamp I used is one that I found at And Bear Makes 3 in Moore. It may be a Hero Art image. I don't keep the packaging so I never know for sure where these things come from once they're in my catalog and stored in the stamp cases.
The image was stamped on light pink cardstock, then distressed with Tim Holtz inks. I used a corner rounder to soften the edges and then tore off one corner and inked the edges.
