Mushroom card with HAPPY accident!!!

Hiya peeps! I have waited to post this because I didn't see this die in the store over at TheScrappingCottage...and well, it's still not there...I guess it's sold out? Anyhoo, I'll explain anyway. ☺ The mushroom is from the Mushrooms and Flowers die {which disappeared hehe}.

OK ONTO THE HAPPY ACCIDENT!  See those intricate borders on the sides? Well I made those by TOTAL ACCIDENT, but I now know what I did so I can share with you! YEAH! Ok...go grab your Double Loops border punch by Martha Stewart...it's ok, I'll wait for ya  ♫ Final Jeopardy Music ♫   Ok, now cut a one inch strip of paper and punch down one side....here comes the MAGIC bit...flip it over and punch down the other side!!! Now, this takes a little trial and error to get it to line up just right, so practice with scrap or computer paper so you don't waste any pretty paper. ☺

Doesn't it turn out SO PRETTY??!!! I ♥ happy accidents!!!

  3. Very Nice! I have done that with most of the Martha Border punches, it is tricky at first lining them up. , They key is in the way you flip the paper. Thanks for sharing!
