Corner Punches - Help!

[kpuckrin]

Hi Crystal,

 

If you head to Michaels, there should be a few options there. You bought a special punch for photo matting (the corners of your photos are supposed to fit in those "silly lines). What I think you're looking for is a simple round corner punch. Ask one of the associates at Michael's to give you a hand- they should know exactly what you're talking about. Best of luck to you!

Thanks!!

 

But I think I found one that'll work at Walmart on the weekend!

I actually took it out of the package right in the store LOL I know I shouldn't of done that, but I don't need 10 different punches that don't work lol

But this looks like I found what I am looking for, and it was $5

 

 

It Rounded the corner of my test piece of paper! lol

Okay so I have another question for those of you that have done Boarding Pass STDs/Invites.

I got the Corner Punch down pat now (Printed out some test pages). Works great!

But how did you cut out the other parts? The straight edges were a breeze, but what about the little indents? (Like curved triangles...u know what I'm talking about right? lol) I cant' seem to get that looking very good. Any tips would be great. Thanks!

I have the exact same questions as you do . I read on a thread somewhere that they cut those triangle pieces (indents) with an exacto knife. I haven't tried it yet, but its a suggestion.

[Crystalballl]

Oh boy then I'm in trouble LOL

I used an exacto, but they didn't turn out so well LOL

Guess it takes some practise hehehe

[Crystalballl]

No tips for making the Cuts look professional?

hey crystal, didn't see your question till now!

 

i actually used nail clippers to make those little cuts. it took me FOREVER and i too tried to use an exacto knife but it ended up just ripping through the paper and it looked gross! i also saw in one thread that a girl used those cuticle clippers, but since i don't have those i used the regular clippers and they worked great! i hope that helps!

i don't know why my reply isn't showing up on the thread list for the DIY forum so i thought i'd post again so you guys know there was a response!

[Crystalballl]

Wow!! Thanks so much Erin!! I would've NEVER thought of that. I don't have cuticle ones either, but have lots of Nail clippers. I shall give that a shot.

Thanks again!!

Ahaha. I accidentally bought that punch (not understanding the picture) and then freaked out when it had lines it in. I ended up using one from Hobby Lobby I think. They only had two sizes, small and large. I bought the small bit think the large would have worked better. Good luck!
