Going Loopy

After many, many weeks of searching, I finally got my hands on the Martha Stewart loopy punches - both of them.  Let me tell you, having the corner punch sure beats all the acrobatics you need to perform to try and get a traditional border punch to properly go around a turn.  It worked beautifully the FIRST time and took no extra thought or effort at all.  LOVE this set.

"Embracing the Lean"


Supplies:  Paper (Fancy Pants, SEI, Jillibean Soup), Stamp (Maya Roads), Letters (Pink Paislee, Rose Moka, Jenni Bowlin), Button (My Little Bit of Whimsy), Flower (Maya Roads), Cardstock (Bazzill)

Journaling Reads:
Every time I try to take your photo you lean towards the camera.  Not just a little tilt, but a full blown nearly knock you off balance lean.  Finally I just decided to go with it and got this shot. Who would have thought?

************************

This next project is very similar to the card make and take I did last weekend.  I used the corner loopy punch for this one.  Simply punch a series of the "corners" along a straight edge, cut them out and glue them on the back side of the circle allowing the loops to show.  You can make your loops go around any shape you wish using this method.


Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill), Stamp, Rub-On & Paper (Upsy Daisy), Gems (Kaiser), Embossing Powder (American Crafts), Punch (Martha Stewart - loopy)

So tell me. Do you have a favourite border punch??

One more thing I did this week was add the journaling to THIS PAGE.  I much happier with it now.

I have those punches - they work a treat... until you try to do something around all four sides. *sigh* No - they don't work on perfectly 12x12. Believe me, I tried...
