New Uses for Hole Punches

Susannah's Ballet Recital Scrapbook Page

Crafters collect tools by the score, but sometimes they get so distracted by what's new that they forget how versatile the old standby tools really are!

Don't be afraid to try new tricks with old scrapbooking tools. Crafts expert Carol Scheffler utilized hole punches to create this unique scrapbook page.

Materials:

12" x 12" pink and white plaid paper (Bo-Bunny Press)
delft blue and white card stock
flower and heart stickers (Bo-Bunny Press) Fiskars scalloped scissors
pink satin ribbon (1/8" wide)
paper cutter
paper adhesive
hole punches (1/16", 1/8 " and 1/4" wide)
sticker paper scraps
pink ultra-fine glitter
3 photos that can be die-cut

Figure A

1. Print or write title on white cardstock and trim to desired length. Cut blue card stock to 1/2" larger than title card. (The borders will be 1/4" wide when attached.)

2. Using 1/16" hole punch, punch an even number of holes around edge of title card. (I punched 28 holes.)

3. Starting in center top, begin lacing ribbon around edge of card. Thread ribbon ends through top two holes twice so that ends end up in front of card. Tie small bow.

4. Glue title card to blue card.

5. Glue photos to white card stock and trim to desired size. Using 1/4" and 1/8" hole punches, punch two pieces of cardstock randomly, taking care not to punch the photos.
