Default Punch Imaging....

Help! I need some suggestions for creativity with punches! My customers want to know how to use their punches to create "stuff" other than what the punch really is! I haven't been able to find much. I even bought a book on paper punching in hopes of finding ideas to no avail! I am hoping that some of you talented folks can point me in the right direction! Thanks for your help!

Stamping hugs,
Emily Williamson

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was so excited when I saw all the neat "stuff" I could do with all my punches! My customers will be so over joyed! I really appreciate your response. Hope you have a blessed day!

My books are Punchin' 2 and Punchin' 7, published through Design Originals.

Besides those, there are some great ideas right here on the site.
1. There is a tag pinwheel card made from tag punch that is a folding technique.
2. The dahlia card is a folding technique for the circle punch.
3. You can simulate scallops with small circles glued half way behind a matte.
4. You can make a crumpled flower with 3 flower punches in descending
sizes. Punch from cardstock. Crumple each piece, layer on top of each
other. I hole punch and put either a brad or button center. Then crumple
each layer more to finese. After I like the look of crumpling, I smudge it up
with ink. Make up a few and even punch leaves to crumple for a layout!

I made a card for my stamp group swap last halloween. I used mainly punches and a couple of cuts with my craft knife. I'm thinking of writing a tutorial if there isn't one. Let me know if you think anyone would be interested in how to do this. If you're an experienced stamper you'll know right away but maybe somebody would want to know.

I have more punches now and I think there are some pretty cool ways on how to use them with a card like this.
