I love how Santa's Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper has the white flocking on some of its sheets, especially this candy cane striped pattern! It is so soft and adds an extra special touch to your Christmas projects!
I also like that many of the patterns correspond with the thinlits or can be cut out and used as individual elements, like the Santa relaxing in his comfy chair with a glass of milk and a cookie.
I did not have the sentiment Judy used, so I used the "wrapped in the warmth of Christmas" sentiment from Snowflake Sentiments and punched it out using the Everyday Label Punch.
The Everyday Label is a wonderfully shaped punch, but I wanted a shape that was closer to the size of the sentiment. Did you know that you can "change" the shape and size of your punches?! Using the Everyday Label as the base, I "shrunk" the size of the punch by punching it twice. Let me show you how I did it!
First stamp your sentiment onto Whisper White Cardstock. Then line up the top of the sentiment, where it says "wrapped in the", towards the top edge of the punch.
Punch out the sentiment.
Let's "shrink" the bottom portion of the sentiment. The punched out sentiment is much smaller now and will be tricky to line up inside the punch using your hands. So, we need something small to act as a handle to hold the piece of cardstock in place while we punch out the sentiment.
Grab a long, narrow piece of scrap cardstock (for example, 1/2" x 6"). Put a small amount of SNAIL Adhesive on 1 end of the scrap and attach it to back of the punched out sentiment.
Using your scrap as a handle, slide the punched out sentiment back into the punch from the top to the bottom. Position the sentiment so that the bottom edge of the punch is a smidgen below the stamped sentiment and punch. Remove the handle from the back of the punched out sentiment.
That's it! Now you have a customized Everyday Label punch out! You can do this technique with tons of your punches - circles, ovals, the Fox Builder Punch, and so much more. Your imagination is the limit!
What punches would you like to "shrink"? I would love to see what you create!
You can find the measurements and a supply list at the end of this post.
