Technical Tidbits: Punch Tips

Punches are the 'bee's knees'!  There is rarely an application that one can not find a punch to bring your project to the next level.   Here are a few tips for keeping your punches in tip-top condition so they do all the work for you

1.  If your punch starts to become dull, punch through a sheet of aluminum foil. 
2.  If your punch is a bit sticky and/or hard to squeeze, punch through a sheet of wax paper. 
3.  Remember that punches are only meant to cut through one sheet of paper/card stock at a time.  Punching out multiple layers at a time is hard on your hands, the punch and the results are 'ick!'

Look at how the owl punch works her 'sassy magic' to make your projects look too cute!
