Tip or the day

Got a really neat trick for you today - this is so simple - and so clever
- punch a pattern on all 4 front corners of your card
- this works with ALL Martha Stuart corner punches
First - punch your outer corners as normal

Then push one of the 'wings' in to the closed position.  Have a look at the side of the punch - bet you never noticed there was a little line at the bottom - just by where the wing pulls out!

Now - open up the card - line up the open wing with the paper - and that little line with your scored fold
Top view -

Side view - see how the line on the punch is along the fold line?
And PUNCH
Then push the out 'wing' in and pull the in 'wing' out and do the other corner
I added an extra border at the outer corners - Just how cool is this!!!
 REALLY clever people can work out the sizes and punch all around the card front - I quite like the variation
Have fun ;-)

This tip came from my dear friend Janet at The Paper Warehouse
