Design Tip: Border Punch Uses

Hey ladies!!! Here's a quick design tip for you guys as several ways to use your border punches, which are my absolute fave addiction.
They add such great effects and dimension depending on how you use them!
Tip 1: Use to create your own die shaped background paper.


Tip 2: Mat a shape with it. Punch 12 inch long strips of paper with a border punch, cut apart between the design and adhere to the back of your shape. Note: Being careful to overlap each piece a bit so it looks neater and blended well.
Tip 3: Punch a long strip and crinkle it up and adhere anywhere to your page. This creates a great dimension. Especially for a layout placed in a shadown box! Awesome!!

K thats all for now ladies.

Card Tutorial..."Afternoon Tea" June Kit

Hello everyone,

My name is Robin Shakoor and I am honored to be the guest designer for June.  Today, I will be sharing my card tutorial with you made using the June main kit.

 

Create the card base.  Trim card stock to 5 3/4 x 10, then fold in half using a bone folder.

Trim 6 strips to 1 1/2 x 4 1/2.  (3 strips from blue patterned paper, 3 strips from light green patterned paper)

Punch edges of each strip using scalloped edge punch of your choice.  Here I used Threading Waters by Fiskars.

Starting at the bottom of the card base, layer your punched strips.

Here is what your card base will look like once you have finished layering your strips.

Cut image from patterned paper and trim.

Glue cut image on brown cardstock and trim so you have a thin mat.  This will make your image stand out on the card base.

Place your matted image on your card base as shown.

Cut dog images from patterned paper.  For those of you new to fussy cutting, this is an easy image to cut for first timers.  You can use either scissors or a kraft knife.

Ink edges of your cut image.  Adhere your image to the card using foam squares.

Apply stickles to the crown and punched holes.  Set aside to dry. 

Thanks for joining me today.  I hope you give this card a try.

Robin
