Martha Stewart Border Punches





I am hopeless when I look at punches and try to imagine what they will look like on paper, so in case there are many like me, I have punched out the (considerable number of) Martha Stewart punches I have, including four of the brand new ones. My advice, ignore the embossed snowflake one, I bought it and returned it, the snowflakes were just embossed blobs. It's the only MS punch I haven't loved.
The card is made with a house mouse stamp, MS border punch and a studio G sentiment. I put diamond glaze on the raindrops so they are nice and wet looking.
The caterpillar battle continues, this morning I found a big one crawling up the mesh on the inside of the lanai - yes, the inside. They are invading. The cheek of it. You would laugh if you saw me brandishing the spray gun like John Wayne in a western :) - I draw from the hip and I shoot to kill..................................

  4. I have been using Fiskar border punches for awhile and like them but centering does take a bit getting used to when you want to do the entire length of the page. I didn't care for the Fiskar circle punch as it doesn't do card very well only the thinest paper.

    Enfys, I just laught everytime you discover a new "joy" of Florida living. Let's hear it for John Wayne and her trusty spray gun. Here! Here!

    Love

  8. thanks for sharing this information. I only have the one Martha Stewart punch and am having such a hard time with it. the floral scallop one. It doesn't seem to punch all the way through all the time, and I am always messing up. Perhaps i have a defective one.
