CARD with PUNCHED EDGES

 

Hello!  This is Krafty Girl Becky from Cards by Becky with a

tutorial on how to make a card base with punched edges.

There are probably several great ways to do this and this is one way!

 

SUPPLIES:

Martha Stewart Around The Page Punch (or other Punch)
(3) 8.5 x 11" Pieces of Paper

Basic Supplies: Ruler, Scissors, Glue, Etc.

Okay!

Let's get started!

 

Step 1:  For the card base, cut (1) piece 5.5 x 11" inches and fold in center.

 

Step 2:  For the punched section, cut (2) pieces 6.75" x 6.75" inches square.

 

Step 3:  On each of the 6.75" inch square pieces, punch the edges.

TIP!  It's best to punch the corners first and then the center area.

 

Step 4:  Then, you should have (2) pieces of paper that are 6.75" inches square
with punched edges.  These will be glued to the base of the card on the top and bottom.

 

Step 5:  Glue one of the 6.75" punched pieces of paper onto the front of the card base.

TIP!  Add extra depth by using distress ink on the punched edges. 

 

Step 6:  Glue the other 6.75" punched piece of paper onto the back of the card base.

When gluing on the back piece, try to line it up with the front piece's punched edges.

 

Done!  Here is the finished card base with punched edges

and a close up picture so you can view the detail.
