Corner Punch Medallion Tutorial

There are many creative uses for medallions. And doing this has spawn a couple of other ideas. I am working on those ideas now. I love my Martha Stewart punch sets. I keep playing hoping to discover a new trick..Here is one.
Here are the different medallions you can achieve using the different designs of the corner punches.


Product List:
Any corner punch from the Punch around the page sets
Card stock
paper trimmer or (ruler and craft knife)
Tweezers




These are just some of the designs that you can achieve using the different corner punch designs.




Using your paper trimmer, cut 1 1/2 inch strips of card stock.




Take your 1 1/2 inch strips and cut them into 1 1/2 inch x 1 1/2 inch squares.




With the bottom of the punch facing you, take your square shape and carefully slide it into the punch corner side down.




Slide the square down so that the corner of the sqaure matches and is even with the bottom corner of the punch. It will just about rest on the corner, and must be exact. Punch down.




Pull the square out and rotate the square so that the next corner is ready to be punched.





Turn it once again and punch. At this point, you may have a better handle on the square if you hold it with tweezers.





Turn once again to punch the last corner.




This is your finished madalion.




This is a layout I did where I used the medallions on top of a punched strip.



Let us know what other ideas you have for these medallions. I would love to hear!!
