Find Out About Friday - Two Punch Tricks

For this week's Find Out About Friday I am going to share two fun tricks with you can try with your Stampin' Up! Punches.  Yesterday I showed you this picture of a decorative photo corner.

So first of all I am going to show you how this is done.  To make corners like this you want to get your Elegant Butterfly Punch and put the corner of your card into it like this.

You may need to use your paper folder or something similar to ensure that the corner of the paper is sticking up as shown.  Carefully line up the sides of you card so that they are level in the punch and not quite touching the edges. When you punch down you will have a pretty decorative photo corner ready for your project.

And now for the second trick.  Earlier this week I showed you these cards (which are part of a blog candy give away so check it out if you have not already!).

Several people asked my how I created the layer behind the sentiments and this trick shows you how.  The images are from the Label Love Stamp Set and the punch I used is the Artisan Label Punch.  This picture shows you how it is done.  Click on the picture if you want to make it bigger.

  1. What a clever idea. Unfortunately, I do not have that punch. Have to see, whether another butterfly punch works as well
