Hi Everyone, Piradee here today to share a little ”punch out” tip that I’ve been addicted to doing lately. For some reason everytime I find myself stuck for ideas or trying to complete a layout, I always find myself reaching for my circle punches – to punch out pattern paper images as embellishments, to create flowers (there’s so many types of flowers that can be created from a normal circle punch) and lately to punch out circle rings; like in the layout below.
So for today’s tool school, I thought I would share how quick and super easy it is to create these circle rings; that you can use to embellish your pages or highlight certain details on your projects.
So, the first thing that you’ll need to do is grab all those circle punches that you have – the thickness of the rings depends on the varying circle size ranges that you have. For my layout – I went with the following sizes…
Then taking the smallest size circle punch, I punch the first circle (note that you should not punch too close to the edges of the paper).
Then taking the next size up…
… line up the bigger size punch as shown below…
And then vola… you’ve got your first ring. And as you may have noticed from my layout, once I started well, it took me awhile to stop. Happy Punching!
