Use Punching While Creating Your
Scrapbook
Basically punching is the cutting out of an image or piece of text
using a cookie cutter like tool. Most punches are made of die cast
steel. They come in various shapes and sizes. Photographs and text
blocks can be punched into virtually any shapes or sizes. These
shapes can add to the impact of the themes.
For
instance, pictures of your sweetheart can be punched into heart
shapes to add to the romantic type of love. Alternately, small doves
can be punched and placed along the borders to add a romantic touch
to a wedding scrapbook. Titles and text can also be punched to
create professional looking scrapbook pages.
When
punching out and gluing small pieces of paper, place a strip of
double-sided tape on the paper before punching out the shape. Next,
just punch the tape into shape. Then, the piece is immediately ready
to place.
