Dust off those Paper Punches

Hey! How many of us have a bunch of paper punches in boxes or sitting on shelves that we don’t use anymore? Well, dust them off and get to it! Today I’m making three cards using border paper punches. It’s part of my goal to use the supplies I have for 2022 instead of buying more new stuff all the time.

Most all of the supplies I used for these cards came from my stash but if you don’t have any paper punches here are a few suggestions.

This first card I punched a rainbow of cardstock and cut down all of the strips to the same size. Then I stacked them from left to right along the front of the card. To finish it up I added a die cut sentiment with popped up sentiments.

The second card is simply elegant. I punched the border our of gold cardstock and added it behind a piece of navy cardstock. I kept the colors to white, navy, and gold. I popped up the skinny sentiment strip.

And for the final card, I punched the border from the top and bottom of the ink blended panel then added silver mirror cardstock behind it to make the stars all nice and shiny.

I hope you pull out some of those paper punches and use them on a card!
