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.

Dang! You ARE persistent! This is beautiful! I had a punch that wouldn't work, and I made the store take it back. I brought it in and let them try it! What I really wanted to do with it was use it for target practice!
Your persistance delivered a very pretty card with wonderful colors and borders!

Okay you had me laughing with the punch info. I have had some punches that would have been better thrown out the window then used. And yet I would continue with the dumb thing. You went with the whole 4 layers!!! You made a beautiful card with sore fingers I have to say !!! HINT: use the punch on Designer paper.. much easier !! Love the card.

This is so pretty Shirley! The colors are gorgeous, and the scalloped lace adds a lot to this card, I would be ready to throw it out the window, the punch that is!!

Gorgeous colours Shirt - and a beautiful card!! You know, I was in Micheal's the other day and put two MS border punches in my basket.. and then I had a brief moment of sanity - and decided I could not afford them... Good thing - now that you tell how much work that they don't work on cardstock!! What is this world coming too???
But your card is beautiful and I love the colours - and hope that your hands will recover from all of that punching quickly!!

Wow! For all the trouble Shirl, I think this is my favorite card yet! The colors are gorgeous and your layout is just beautiful. I just love that simple little flower in the center- it is perfect! LYMI
