I saw this somewhere on the internet when I was researching something else then when I went searching for the How To I could not find it again. Here's my version of what I remember.
Have you ever wanted a small tag for a card. Maybe the dies or punches you have aren't quite right. Make tags using your border punch.
1. Punch a piece of cardstock with a border punch
2. Cut the cardstock at the edge of each pattern to create tags.
3. Use the tags as desired. They can be tied on or adhered with with a brad.
I love this idea. A totally new use for your border punches. Give it a try and leave me a comment about your results. See my next post for samples of the tags I've made. This is a Martha Stewart punch.
These are great, Sylvia! I love tags and I'll have to give this a try for sure. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Sylvia. Another one you might try is using a round scallop punch to make heart shapes. Just cut between every two scallops to the middle. They make deep hearts.
