I ran into a friend of mine yesterday in Hobby Lobby and she asked me “Hey, which punch is it I need to make those flowers?” Er . . . ah . . . I guess I forgot to to tell you . . . you don’t actually have to have that punch. Now that punch makes a cute flower, but really, any border punch that completely separates away from the paper will do. In other words, a self contained border – one that does not stay attached to the page. So this morning I decided to show you what I meant. I picked out four different punches, punched one strip, gathered (just like I show in my Ruffled Flower Tutorial) and it makes a quick and cute flower. Plunk down a button or something on top and you have a quick embellishment for your card. By the way, I’m sneak peeking here too!! These sentiments are all new releases that will be coming out with Our Daily Bread Designs tomorrow. You can see them in a blog hop bright and early tomorrow morning!
There are all 4 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/4 inches tall. Perfect for oversized enclosure cards or a sweet treat to include in the box for a friend.

How beautiful! I wondered if you could use a non-self contained border punch if you either trimmed the end away from the page or if you cut a strip and punched both sides (They’d have to match up top to bottom, I understand, so you would need to line them up just right so you could score them.)

I did wonder about which punch you used, but was hoping something I had on hand would also work. How lovely to see your beautiful examples!! They are inspiring me to try this technique out with some of my punches I already have. Thanks so much, Becca!!

can you double check the names of these punches and list them with color card you made, so far I have only been able to find diamond fence(which doesn’t look like the right punch for this job) and the Bangle chain…which I am getting. No one knows the name of the yellow one at all and even on the martha stewart site there is no punch called “linked”.
I would appreciate the info.
thanks, Susan
