Three Banner Punch Tips | Simple Strip Card that Works Every Time!

On last week’s Facebook Live, I shared some tips and ideas for using the new Three Banner Punch, one that I think is just a fantastic staple tool in your craft room. For the demonstration project, I made the class “strip” card with the Love Notes papers, paired with the Woolly Friends bundle:

Although we don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day so much here, I still think the papers are often pretty cute. I love these tiny heart “flowers”. Small prints like these are great for small shapes, such as the little labels from the Three Banner Punch.

So one of the ideas was to use the labels not just as labels, but as backgrounds with printed papers.

That being said, I did use one of the labels as a label, too. I know I’ll be using this punch so very much!

Accent the simple background with a focal image, such as this adorable sheep from the new Woolly Friends bundle. This little guy is pretty fun. I didn’t want to add much more color, so I just gave him a little Smokey Slate outline and a few pink accents.

I also made a version with the Gorgeous Grape print for another cheery variation.
