I love EK Success border punches. And now with the slim version they're even better.

 

Deco Scallop #54-40027

I never imagined this punch would make such a beautiful ribbon. Those small scallops on the punch became perfect circles to adhere pearls to. Then I cut another ribbon, but slightly further apart to put under, and it just set it off even more.

Then I got this wild idea to use Polymer clay... I've been playing with it again for the past few days and using Premo, which when baked is so flexible, it's wonderful. So I put a piece of a grey mix (it's what I was working with) through my pasta machine on the thinnest setting, baked the strip and when cooled put it through the punch. I was amazed it worked. I then colored/streaked it with Perfect Pearls and added the larger beads. Oh the possibilities are endless for adding to other polymer items or paper crafts.

This one is the offset version of the punch.

Scroll & Dots Punch set #54-40017

This is such a pretty punch. It can mimic waves when colored in blue, or just a gorgeous design - I love the greens

Bubbles Punch set #54-40019


For this one my ruler went through the middle of the bubbles,


For this one and the one below I had the ruler about 1/10" below the lowest point then
used the pencil on punch technique. One design is alternating and the other is opposite.

Morocco Lace Punch

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this punch. I think it's my favorite

Scroll & Hearts Punch set #54-40029

This is very similar to the Scroll & Dots punch, but I love the little hearts on this one.
I also keep all those little scrolls that drop out. It's really hard to see the differences
between these two samples, but on the one above, the scrolls curl in the same
direction, whereas the one below, the curls run in the opposite directions.
