Want to see what I learned @ convention..

newinker · 07-25-2005, 11:51 AM

One of my first purchases was the corner slot punch, well many months later it was still sitting on my shelf unopened. But I learned a great trick at convention. You can use it to make tags! I think my photos explain it all. It's is one of those, duh why didn't I think of that.

shaintr · 07-25-2005, 11:53 AM

oh my gosh...why didn't I think of that! I have had this punch for a while now and very rarely use it! Thanks so much for sharing!

Assiniboine Cree · 07-25-2005, 12:01 PM

Hey, at least you were using your punch! Mine was acting as a paper weight!

amahanes · 07-25-2005, 12:30 PM

OK....I just woke up so this may be the problem....but right now - I don't understand how the corner peices at the bottom work or what purpose they are for? I always leave my tags squared off at the bottom. Can someone explain what those pieces are trying to show?

jbalcer · 07-25-2005, 12:34 PM

That was a TOTAL smack my forehead moment! It's on my next order!

AndreaSophie · 07-25-2005, 12:39 PM

gonna be on my next order too

I imagine that it is just showing you how to use what you cut off as an embellishment so you don't waste anything. I bet that it would look great in a contrasting color.

Great tip! TFS!!!

Amanda_Sewell · 07-25-2005, 12:57 PM

Kay, I know I am not the quickest, but I still don't get it. Is it just so that you can cut a straight line? I am lost -- HELP this poor confused dumb brunette . . . ;)

WeimFamily · 07-25-2005, 01:05 PM

Amanda - It lets you always get the correct angle and the exact same cuts on either side of the tag.

Never thought of this before - but this is a fantastic idea!

Briana · 07-25-2005, 01:08 PM

I think that once you punch the corners you cut them and you have a tag shape. The second pic just shows that you can place them on the bottom and tuck in your tag or embelishment on those cut out pieces. No waste! Thanks for sharing this idea, now I can show it in my next workshop!

AmyR · 07-25-2005, 01:19 PM

VERY cool use for this punch - now we can all say it together "DUH!".

anniesmom · 07-25-2005, 02:34 PM

Fantastic idea. TFS.

mnjjacobs · 07-25-2005, 07:14 PM

mahodgman · 07-26-2005, 03:24 AM

Awsome, thanks for sharing that! I try to cut my own tags, and my cuts are never the same on both sides. It drives me crazy! I don't own this punch.....yet, but I will soon!

PrideStampers · 07-26-2005, 03:30 AM

Ok...so that does help ease the pain from not having a tag punch this year. TFS!!

justampin · 07-26-2005, 03:40 AM

Great, tip. I'm never happy when I try to make them myself. Guess that's on my next order too.

Paige · 07-26-2005, 04:01 AM

I just got on the computer and read this. So now I am going to run downstairs and try it out! LOL! TFS!

Do you realize what you have just done? You have made all our demos or uplines happy!

And if there is a backorder to this product I'm blaming you!

It's on my next order!!!

What Mary said! :cool:

NavyWifeArmyMom · 07-26-2005, 08:41 AM

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! I have ruined more scrap pieces of card stock trying to make my own tages - I'm "angle challenged"!! This is just the niftiest thing!

I personally would not use the little cut off corners on the bottom, but would probably use them as "photo corners" for some other embellishment on another card.

Thank You again for sharing this piece of Convention Wisdom.

NavyWifeArmyMom · 07-26-2005, 08:45 AM

OH! OH!! OH!!! Gues What?!?!?! If you don't what a pointy end at the top of your tag, you can take your corner rounder and round off that pointy end perfectly!! Sooooooo Cool! Now I can make ALL kinds of tags!

moprica · 07-26-2005, 08:54 AM

Duh...I've got one of those - absolutely BRILLIANT!

rosowskimom · 07-26-2005, 11:56 AM

Thanks so much for sharing this tip!!!! I am ordering this now! I waste so many tags by trying to get an even cut.

Debra · 07-26-2005, 01:02 PM

Oh good grief! I just found this thread. you are killing me here. I JUST placed my second order from this catalog TODAY and the first one wasn't weens. AAAHHHH!

Debra

mggoldintx · 07-26-2005, 01:09 PM

Thanks for sharing this! It's definitely a "why-didn't-I-think-of-that?" moment! I haven't made a lot of tags simply for this reason... it's too much work for me to measure and cut perfect angles! Now I need to put this on my order!

Thanks!

crafty2me · 07-26-2005, 01:43 PM

Nifty idea. Thank you so much for taking the time to share with the rest of us. It is greatly appreciated.

Consuelo · 07-26-2005, 01:47 PM

After studying the pics in to OP for SEVERAL minutes. Then going grocery shopping and contimplating...and coming back here and staring at the pics again for several more minutes... Doh! I finally get it!!

Thanks for sharing!!!

stampinfredva2004 · 07-26-2005, 03:52 PM

This is a great idea!! Does anyone know if SU has fixed the problem with it leaving that black mark on the cardstock? I was going to order one about 3 months ago and heard on here of them having this problem and didn't get it. Just thought I would give everyone a heads up on what to look for when you get yours. Please let me know if they fixed the problem.

Thanks,

StampinJudy · 07-26-2005, 06:25 PM

I see a backorder in slit punches coming! Thanks SO muchfor showing this to us!!!

Sherlie · 07-27-2005, 11:16 AM

L Newton · 07-27-2005, 11:42 AM
