Martha Stewart Crafts’ Punch All Over the Page Starry Sky punch was the starting point and inspiration for this page by Danielle Quarmby. Just the name of the punch brought to Danielle’s mind the Van Gogh painting ‘Starry Night’ and she used that masterpiece as her layout’s inspiration. Just as the name indicates, these punches can be used anywhere on the page by means of a nifty magnet system, and Danielle has used the punch repeatedly in a cascade of stars across the page.
The Blueberry flocking powder from Martha Stewart Crafts is used to create the swirls all over the background paper, along with water-soluble crayons. Layered doily and gemstone stickers, also from Martha Stewart Crafts, have been sprayed with chalkboard mist and add to the star-filled night sky of the layout background.
Suz used Martha Stewart’s pretty ‘Flower Box’ Punch Around the Page set on BasicGrey’s gorgeous Indie Blooms papers and embellishments in the above cards. These punch sets are so easy even she can use them (as she admits she’s often a little ‘punch’ challenged)! They create an intricate floral border that can be layered over each other and the tiny punched shapes can be kept and used on other projects.
Suz also went to town with her favourite Martha product – the glitters. These are fabulously fine and come in every shade of the rainbow – and a few more besides. Glitter imbues everything it touches with a slightly festive spirit (even when it’s not christmas) and makes these designs even cheerier.
Pearl Lui created this funky layout with the sweet heart feature at the top right, using the heart version of Martha Stewart Crafts' Punch All Over the Page. You can find Pearl's inspiring work here.
