I love my punches but I always try to add a little something extra to the simple shapes.  I love to dry emboss, stamp, and glitter punched shapes.  Also, you can add a little shine, or a wet look, in this case, by heat embossing the shape with clear embossing powder.  The Comma Comma Chameleon Squeeze Punch was the perfect accent for this pool page…and by heat embossing the shapes; I transformed them into shiny, wet looking water droplets!

Instructions (Print version)


1. Trim yellow patterned paper to 10” square; punch with the 2-in-1 Corner Punch to round the four corners. 
2. Tear orange paper with Wave Tear Edger to create a wavy design.  Place across the lower portion of the page.
3. Add photos to the page and accent bottom edge with a blue border punched cardstock strip; I used the Boundary Waters Border Punch and a slim strip of green paper below.  Use the glue applicator in the Tool Taxi to add glue to the small bits and pieces with no mess.
4. Punch a variety of papers (blues) with Comma, Comma Chameleon punch; ink the punched pieces and add embossing powder; heat to set embossing powder and create a shiny, glossy finish.  Add to page.

5. Journal on strips of patterned paper and add title to upper left of page.
6. Machine stitch to accent page; add brads as an additional accent.
