You may want to consider a few new ways to add a little PUNCH to your scrapbooking! Layering punches together can create a more interesting scrapbook layout by adding dimension to the page! For example, simple circles can be much more interesting by layering two or more different sizes of circle punches together. Add an embellishment such as stickers for extra color.

Other materials that you can punch shapes from include:

• craft foam
• tag board
• cardboard
• corrugated paper
• wax paper
• photographs
• gift wrap
• contact paper
• aluminum foil

Other ideas you can try are:

• Use the negative space of punches versus the punch itself.
• Ink around the punched piece to make a negative image.
• Create a custom background paper by adhering punched shapes to a 12" x 12" sheet of cardstock. Add even more interest by stamping or doodling on the shapes.
• Have a favorite punch? Use it as a template to cut a piece of foam in the same shape. Attach this foam shape to a small piece of wood to create a custom stamp. If your foam is too thin add another layer using rubber cement.
• Use small punches to create a shaker box.

So pick up that old familiar punch and punch and punch and punch!
