Default Tips for Alphabits & 1/4" punches

Cool!
The new 1/4" circle punch & alphabits letters fit perfectly inside the circles of the pinwheels from Shapes & Shadows... Here is a link to a card that I whipped together very quickly when the idea came to me... it could be better, but you get the idea, and the possibilities are endless...

Dawn - You're so darn creative! I have my Alphabits mounted and staring at me. Nothing is happening. So glad you have posted this - a great idea to get me started! Thanks so much!

Another Alphabits hint: I was cutting out letters in circles and pasting on a swap last night, then coating with CE for typewriter keys. I used my 1/4" eyelet setting template from the tool kit to mark the middles of the letters with a pen, put a drop of CE on my dot, then attached the letters evenly spaced. I was using tweezers from the kit, but that was annoying, so I grabbed the piercing tool and started just picking up each letter by lightly sticking it with my piercing tool--MUCH easier to control than tweezers, and the job sped up nicely.

Debbie... thanks to you, and your tip, I've edited and renamed this thread to "Tips for Alphabits..."

Sorry, Dawn--didn't mean to thread-jack! But I was so excited to have been able to actually pick up those little stinkers with relative ease that I couldn't contain my excitement. :lol: I'm ordering Shapes and Shadows on March 1 too, and I can't wait to use your tip!
