Creative Memories is widely known for producing some of the best scrapbooking tools on the market, and I love to share techniques for using those tools! In addition to tools, CM also offers some of the freshest and on-trend scrapbooking papers, embellishments and stickers along with some great storage options. If you haven’t looked lately, now is a great time to browse all of the categories on the CM website!

For my June Monthly Technique Layout and Challenge, I shared a technique for punching paper corners with either Border Punches or the Original Border Maker System to create fancy patterns. This technique will work with edge or knockout style Border Punches and Border Maker Cartridges. For my first layout, I used the edge style Floral Peaks Border Punch with papers, embellishments and stickers from the Tropic Time Collection.

For my second layout, I used the Hand Tools Border Punch and also the Original Border Maker System with the Tire Tracks Border Maker Cartridge with paper, stickers and embellishments from the Revved Up Collection. The knockout style of this punch and cartridge creates a different type of pattern than the edge style punches and cartridges. I love the versatility of this technique and the different looks that you can punch!

For step-by-step directions and a demo, please view my instructional video on my YouTube channel. Make sure to watch to the end of the video to hear about my 2024 Summer Layout Challenge!

All of the tools and materials that I used for these two layouts are available for purchase through my CM website. With your purchase, you’ll be enrolled in my Customer Rewards Program to receive gifts and credits from me!
