Punchies and Punch Art


Punches can be one of the most versatile scrapbooking tools.  Not only are there many new shapes and sizes of punches, but they are great for paper piecing, punch art, and borders.

The most useful, "can't live without," punches are standard geometric shapes, hearts, stars, spirals, leaves, and bears.  There are a plethora of other shapes available as well, ranging from trains, to Mickey Mouse, to daisies, to ghosts, depending on what you need for your individual page.  

Also, you can create punch art for your pages for a totally new look.  Please visit our punch art page.  And there are even more examples on the borders page.
