Using Punches to Spotlight an Image

Instructions:


Stampin' Up! has created a great Word Window punch, but sometimes you need a larger or smaller hole. You can customize the size of your word window by
combining two punches. To create the word window for this card, I used the 3/4 inch circle punch on the two ends and completed the punching with the 3/4 inch square punch. You can also make a larger window by combining the 1 1/4 inch circle and square of the 1 3/8 inch circle and square.

This is a fun technique, because you can "reveal" some of the text and keep some "secret" for when the card is opened.


 

 

Here is the inside of the card.

There are also lots of other great punches that are not designed specifically to create Word Windows, but really work for this technique.


 

This card was created using the Key Tag punch, but it is the perfect size for the wording in Bugs & Kisses. Both the large and small oval punches are also great choices.

  As you can see in both examples, a word window is a fun way to create some drama in your projects and it also lets you easily incorporate another color.
