Today each of us are going to show you a fun way to use PUNCHES on your projects, one of my favorite paper crafting tools!
Create your own TINY TAGS:
1. Punch cardstock with a scalloped border punch. Cut out a rectangle from the cardstock.
3. You can create little banner shapes to them by trimming the bottoms of the tiny tags in a V shape with your scissors.
A simple technique that's fun too! I love getting more use out of my punches!
