It's my turn at Top Tip Tuesday so check out my picture tutorial on 
HOW TO MAKE APERTURE CARDS WITH PUNCHES! :) 


First some basics... An aperture in a 5inch square card. 
You need a card blank and a punch. I've used 4cm square punch.


Place your card blank and a punch as in the photo and punch. 


Remember to double check if your punching the front or the back of a card! Below is what you should have.


Next I'll show you how to make 3 apertures in a slimline card. I've used a card blank measuring 21x22.5cm, scored as in the photo @ 7.5cm and again @ 7.5cm from each side). You also need 2.5cm square punch.  


Next you need to fold the card starting from the left. Fold it once and place the punch as in the photo.


Punch and place the punch as in the photo.


Punch again and place as in the photo. 


That is what you should get. Now you can use some acetate, stick it to the card blank with double sided tape. 


Next put some 3D foam double sided tape as in the photo.


Add some punched out shapes or some glitter.


Fold the card and voila! Job done! :)


A sample of what you can make once you have an aperture card ready.


And another one!



This one is made in a similar way to the first square card. The only thing you do is punch once close to the left and then punch second time moving the punch to the right.





With this card I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Hi there

I am thrilled you have joined in my "Free and Easy" theme at Allsorts this fortnight and confess to being astounded by the huge response .

I usually like to visit every entry and say a few words about their creations, but the sheer volume so far along with the Christmas preparations we all have to juggle means this is a "copied and pasted" message, for which I apologise.

Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and wonderful holiday time
