Tutorial -How to Combine Your Border Punches -Have Some Fun

Combining Punches:
I must admit that I am having a case of punching boredom. If you are like me and live within a budget, then punches are a "once in a while" type purchase.

Boredom must be the "mother of invention".  And since Mothers Day is approaching, I guess this idea is just fitting. I decided to mix up my border punches lately.  Shake it up a bit and re-energize my punches.  Make the most of what I have. 

I borrowed this layout from my sweetheart,  Escape Kitty, since I help her out so often by supplying all her scrapping materials.  Sorry EK!  But I am giving you credit after all.

I added some contrast to this image in photoshop so that the border would pop for you to see more easily ( so please keep in mind that the photo below isn't "pretty" - it's dramatic.)

I mixed up the border punches by using the Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Eyelet Lace at the corner, and then with one additional punch to extend the design, then I switch to the Martha Stewart Cherish Punch Around the Page.  Here are the two punches below.

Example Two:

I mixed up the border punches by using the Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Wildflowers on the ends,  then I switch to the Martha Stewart Cherish edge punch.

I sharpened the edge a bit so you can see it better.
