ONE-TWO PUNCH
You'll have to forgive us, but we like punch art so much we couldn't resist. Punching out those tiny shapes, arranging and rearranging them — it's like playing. And the results can be whimsical, funky or elegant. Use punch-art pieces to make a border, decorate photo corners or accentuate journaling. These inspirational books will get you started:
(Tapestry in Time): When is a heart punch not a heart? When you trim it, give it a dab of glue and combine it with other punched shapes. Then it becomes a cow, boat, baby bottle, poinsettia or any of 136 other punch-art pieces. Each idea comes with instructions and illustrations for trimming the punches. A guide to the punches used in the book and a manufacturers list make punch shopping a breeze. Order at <www.tapestryintime.com>.
