The new Designer Series Paper, “Twitterpated”, from the new 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog, has this awesome graphic design on one side of one of the papers. When I measured the circles they were exactly 1/4″! Yowsah! Get out the paper punch! I wasn’t sure where I was going with this, but since it was neutral (basic gray), any color will pop with it.
I do have a “fiddley” nature, and don’t mind cutting little details (whether it is paper or metal), but any time I can use a tool to speed the process, it is all good. First I paperpunched each hole in the line across the paper, which was interesting and left me with 2 pieces of paper and the “reverse scallop” edge on each. Next I did every other one…better. Now I can see 1/4″ ribbon woven through the holes.
But, do I use a straight edge when I have those interesting potential scallops? Checked the scallop punch – it did not line up. It’s up to my trusty detail scissors to hand cut the scallops….
Here’s what I ended up with…gosh I want to use all the “remains” on SOMETHING! maybe a future project. BUT the little sample in the center is the bomb!
You will have to wait until tomorrow for my finished card – I think it was worth the effort!
until then…Keep Calm and Find Yourself a Rubber Stamp!
