Hello everyone...
I have made quite some cards with this tile punch... & I absolutely love the effect it creates...
After I posted few card with the tile punch I got a lot of queries regarding its aligning ...
So I thought of making a small tutorial rather than replying each one individually...moreover it is a very simple trick but it would be a bit difficult to explain without some visual aid...
The images are self explanatory but still I will add some explanation with them...
Things you will need - Cardstock, tile punch, Pencil & ruler.
Start by punching the first tile.
Now slide the punch on one side & the align it with the top point of the small square.. or any other design part of the punched out shape... this step will decide how much gap is left between 2 punched out tiles... This step takes some trial & error... but its easy once you figure out what works for your punch design. & always push the
cardstock till the very end of punch slot on both sides to keep the punching in straight line.
Repeat the above step till you get the length you want.
Now to punch on the adjoining side in a L shape measure the distance between the start of the punch & edge of
cardstock ... here it is 1cm.
Now mark the same distance as shown in the image .. do this on the other side of the cardstock & trim off the excess cardstock.
Now repeat the second step & punch...
Cardstock after 2 more punches..
Keep repeating the above steps to get a border all round the page.
Here is the final card I made with the punched cardstock.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial....If you still have some doubts feel free to ask me... :)
Wonderful Nupur. I just sat down with my window punch and was doing this the hard way (figuring the distances etc out). Your post made my life easy :)
