Punch Index To Go

3.5 x 2.5 cards for punches

I needed a way to organize my punches so that I could take it along shopping.

I punch a new punch onto 3.5x2.5 (the size of an ATC), label it with a clear printed label, slip it into a baseball card sleeve and attach it to the ring.  The clear label that I used is Avery 8667.  Avery has a free program to download that is actually quite good.  You can set it up and make your own templates and save your work.

This set up is a good way of testing a punch size for sentiments or stamp images to see if they will fit with that particular punch.  Just place the punch out over the image that you want to use.

I am thinking of doing a similar project for my PTI dies.  I will choose a size paper to accomodate the largest die cut and use it to punch out the item.  With this I can check the die cut size to work with images or sentiments that are not PTI.  A plus is that I will have all the die cuts that I make from doing this.

Cutting the 3.5 x 2.5 cardstock

Use a 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock

On the 8.5 side make the first cut at 3.5.  Cut the 5" that are left at 2.5.

Take the 3.5 x 11 piece and cut in at 2.5

Take the 2.5 x 11 pieces and cut them at 3.5.  

There will be very little waste with this method.

I haven't done one for the PTI dies but will post when I have it done.

I love to organize my "stuff" and play with my toys so this is a bonus project.

Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions.

Papertrey Ink Delightful Doily Celebrate Card

This is my first card created with my first Papertrey Ink order. I used a thick block to stamp the images on the die cut and had a very hard time getting it centered. I read on stamptalk with PTI that using a thin block made magic out of centering it. I don't have any problem with stamping it now.

I used Stampin Up ink and tiny stamps from another PTI set. The paper is from one of those pads that you can pick up at AC Moore or Michael's. That kind of paper makes for a very CAS card.

Let me know if you have any questions about the other elements of the card.

Enjoy!
