Tutorial with punches from Martha Stewart

Hello to you all!

Firstly thank you for your many messages about my sketches I'm glad to know they like you and inspire you!

As you know I love to use my punches, either to make borders on my pages, my cards or make circles. I had several requests for tutorial on using these punches then today is that it is rule! MDR! You will become pros punch! I warned you right away it will take a few minutes to read EVERYTHING I've written between photos. My tutorial is very detailed to see all the steps, tricks, glitches that can happen and you have no more excuses for letting kids into your drawers.

here I show you my Martha Stewart punch. The punch corner and edge. These are called corner and border punches "Loop"

In the packing box is a small sheet super important that we should not throw ... Otherwise you will have serious problems ... It is too late you've discarded? I'll take pleasure in making you a little zoom on the action, take note of them.

You have here all possible measures to form a square or rectangle. You absolutely must limit yourself to these measures if you want it fonctionne.Par example to make a square you get 2x the same size. In the model I'll show you I'm a square 5pox 5in (12.7 cmx12, 7cm) and a rectangle of 3.25 x 5 (8.25 cmx12, 7cm)

So we start with the square



You take the punch corner and turn upside down and place it as the Photo



You make up the 4 corners like this

Then we change it takes one punch to the edge. I show you the pencil exactly where you should place your paper





You put your left corner on the drawing and you punch

is the result




Then you put the right corner on the drawing

Now your side completed



You repeat the same exercise for each of the sides and you'll get this eventually

Now the circle

You only use the corner punch to make the circles. We must return to see well

For the second hole will require tests on waste paper as PUNCH IS NO SUCH For this I'm invading my left a little to look at the picture

It magnifying glasses and sees a small triangle between the two if I push myself a little on my right triangle will be bigger which is why I'm invading a little to my left


If I push too much to my I will cut my left lens you see? All about precision


At the end I am very lucky because the space is perfect and the result also

A perfect circle is very rare that it happens. Camouffler Often we will have the final by a flower or slide it under a paper


For the second example I use My second kit of punches they called "Layered ark"

I show you now with a rectangle



Same method 4 corners are done with the punch corner


We guide the design

Here I show you a small imperfection that may occur. Between the two holes there was a small space we have only a few mm cut with scissors or exacto nothing appear

The end result

Now we go to the circle




I wanted to show you a picture because with this punch must not encroach on the left or we'll cut the previous song should just be near

Here is another flaw that correct, at the end


Here we are at the end of the circle and we have a little problem ... not enough space if I do it anyway I'll cut each side so I'll just round up and leave like that I camoufflerai by flowers

Here is an example of the great mystery of punches The two circles were the same size initially and is perfect while the other does not ... It's all about angles, mm at the end changes the result.

Here the models I have just made. The right orange is placed on a map 5,5 x5, 5 "

Now you know everything! No matter what size the principle remains the same. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial is the time to get your punches or go shopping! Have fun!

you soon!
