These 4 in 1 punches are so versatile at making borders – you can customize any look that you'd like with them – that makes these punches such a great value! For this post, I used the 902 Daisy punch two different ways using the A inserts. On my first layout I used the punch to make a border across the top and bottom of my kraft paper.
Here's how you can create that same look: Take the piece of paper that you'd like to create the border across and find it's center and mark it. Then, line the center of your punch on that mark and punch.
Next, line your punch right next to the right side of the punched circle and punch
Continue until you get all the way to the right edge of your paper
Next line up next to the left side of your first punched circle, and punch
Continue to the left edge of your paper and your border is complete!
To give your border a different look, punch a border like the one I just made, then take your punch and carefully slide it between two of the circles – you will be covering up two of the circles, but they will be at the edges of the punch so that you will be punching between the already punched circles. Carefully punch making sure not to shift your paper as you punch
Continue on down the line punching between the already punched circles until you have completed your border
Here's a layout that I made using a border like the one shown above
This is just a couple of the many many ways you can use your 4 in 1 punches!! Get creative and make up your own border!! Have fun creating!! Valerie
