I love finding unique ways to use our Creative Memories tools! We make such an investment in our tools, so it’s always exciting when we can discover multiple ways to use them in our projects.
The technique I’m sharing today is a fun and creative way to use our Shape Punches — and it adds such a unique touch to scrapbook layouts!
To create my layout above, I used the Celebration Cake Punch and the Birthday Bash Collection — all from Creative Memories!
After punching the border, I cut it apart using the 45-degree line on the 12-Inch Trimmer and then reconstructed the border onto a strip of Bright White Cardstock.
I love how this technique gives a completely different look to the punch and creates such a fun decorative accent for scrapbook layouts!
For my second layout, I used the same technique with a trio of Shape Punches!
This time I used the Embossed Seashell Punch, Sea Turtle Punch, and Fresh Flower Punch along with the Chasing the Sun Collection from Creative Memories.
You can use this technique with a variety of Shape Punches, but I do recommend first testing the spacing of your punches using scrap paper before creating your final border design. It’s a great way to experiment and see what combinations work best together!
You’ll find all of the tools and materials that I used for both layouts on the Creative Memories website. I truly appreciate your purchases using my CM website link — your support means so much to my small business! And don’t forget that I offer a generous Customer Rewards Program too!
