This card took forever since I punched 4 borders. If you have this MS border punch, you will probably agree it is junk and a big pain in the behind. It does not work well with SU c/s. I had to punch it 20 times, if not more, on some cuts before it cut all the way through the c/s. That is not an exaggeration, either. I just thought I would tell you all about it before you bought one, too.

thanks for the heads up on the MS punch. I did buy three of the small ones today...enjoying 25% off your entire purchase. I bought the butterfly, snowflake, and oak leaf. I hope they are not like that, if they are I will take them back. I have been that fed up before not fun, sorry you had to go through that, your card is beautiful! tfs *~*

This is absolutely gorgeous, Shirley!!! The scalloped borders age soooo pretty....I agree with ya about the punch!! I found if I only punch half the area at a time, it seems to work better but takes longer....what price beauty!!!
