Hello friends, Linda here to share How to add punched shapes the fast and easy way. Using the Best Glue Ever I show how to add a punched bird shape to a journal card.
While making a Song Bird Junk Journal I needed a few journal cards. I found a sheet of paper that I had stamped a long time ago and didn’t use. After cutting the paper down into journal cards I decided that I needed to add some pretty embellishments.
Here is a video for How to add punched shapes the fast and easy way.
Using a corner rounder I took off those sharp corners. It makes the cards look finished or even store bought by rounding those sharp corners.
Distressed Ink – Spiced Marigold was applied to the edges of the cards using a blending tool. Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists was sprayed over the cards to give a little shimmer.
The next step was to sew a layered piece of lace with a strip of fabric to one edge of each card. My machine was set to a Zig Zag stitch. I love how sewing on paper gives another added texture to see and feel.
A Martha Stewart bird punch was used on peach paper. Then using Spiced Marigold Distress ink and a blending tool I added a pretty edge to the punched shapes.
The Best Glue Ever was then applied to the back of the punched bird shapes. These I placed on top of the layered lace and fabric that was sewn on each card. One of the cards I sewed down the side instead of the top to have a different look.
Last I added a little self adhesive rhinestone on the bird to represent an eye.
Use up those scraps of paper in your stash to make beautiful journal cards. My hope is that you enjoyed this post on How to add punched shapes the fast and easy way.
This is one of the journal pages where I added a journal card made in this blog post.
