Tuesday's Tip

Well, I have been stamping but unfortunately not anything I can upload at this time. I have swaps for an upcoming SCS meeting and host club projects but I will save those for later. I did work on a project that has been on my list for some time...a punch guide. Have you ever wondered if certain images or words would fit into certain punches? I have scraps of punches on my work space that I grab as a template but I wanted a complete set that was easy to use. I also wanted to dust off the Rubicoil that I just had to have 2 years ago and haven't nearly used enough to justify its purchase. This booklet is 3" x 7", a size easy to pack into my purse if needed. I also thought I would use up some of the Island Blossoms scrap kits I have. I cut several pieces of acetate and punched out one of each SU punch I own. I also have the circles, but that page looks exactly like the square page. Then I used my label maker to create the labels. I placed a piece of card stock between each piece of acetate because it seemed easier to see and use each individual page. I like the punch outs in acetate better than card stock for obvious reasons...you can see through it. I used a 10mm spiral to bind it. You could easily use book rings, ribbon or some other means of binding if you don't own or have access to a binder. You can also write on the acetate with a Sharpie marker if you don't have a label maker. The front is decorated with stickers from the scrap kit, I wanted to keep it simple and functional. The title I printed on the computer and

punched with the Designer Label punch.

I uploaded the photos a bit smaller this time but you can click on them to see it bigger.

It's a fun project that you will use over and over.

Have a wonderful day.
