Paper Punches



" Paper Punches: devices or machines for cutting holes or notches
(as in paper or cardboard)
~Merriam-Webster Dictionary"

 





Using them to finish your bleached image card



Here's how I used punches to finish my bleached image card:

  • Use a slit punch to enhance the corners of your image and the mat under it



    The slit punch on the left can make a nice corner punch too



  • Use your Crop-a-dile to make holes in both the corners of your image and mat papers so you can insert split pins or brads in each corner



    Using the Crop a dile to punch holes in the corners for more split pins



    The brads' split pins have been folded back here



  • Stamp a greeting on a white piece of cardstock and punch it out with a circle punch, then punch a hole in the top with the crop-a-dile. Thread ribbon through this and tie it around your main image and its mat



    Tying the ribbon and the circle sentiment on



  • Decorate the card base with some white cardstock and designer paper



    Adhering the white cardstock and the designer paper to the card base



  • Layer your main image, its mat, ribbon and extra stamped image to the front of your card base



    Adhering the main image to the decorated card base



  • Now your card should be complete



The completed card with it's bleached main image



Stamps Craft Techniques really do add to the enjoyment I get from cardmaking, and I do appreciate being able to use my tools and stamps in so many different ways! I hope you will let me know if you use stamping with bleach or have a novel way of using punches to make a card. Do share your project with us and give us more ideas about how to get the most from our paper crafting!
