Triple Craft Punch Projects |
Hi friends, when I first started crafting I fell in love with Craft Punches and so I was especially thrilled when Shalini launched Craft Punches under her brand Dress My Craft !
In this
post I will demo the Dress My Craft Triple Punches and show you how versatile they are
with a couple of projects.
Special
Features of the Triple Punches
- Size : They are pretty large and sturdy Punches and can punch paper widths of upto 2.5 inches .No limit to the length of paper you can punch!
- Mechanism :All 3 Triple Punches
act by the "Lever mechanism" which is personally my
most favorite punch mechanism as not only is it easier to punch paper
using lever punches but it also gives cleaner cuts
- Can hold in hand and punch! Because of the
levering mechanism you can hold the punch and punch with your hand
instead of having to always set it on a surface to punch.This is an
advantage when you want to use the negatives of the punch-outs
as shown in my video.
- Layering Punches- The base of the 3
punches have markings of 1.5, 2 and 2.5 inches on wedges to fit
papers of these 3 widths- this makes layering of your punched out
tags and banners super easy.
- Wedged Paper feeder-The wedges on the paper feeder base are an especially useful feature as if you cut your paper to size and feed it into a wedge say 1.5 or 2 or 2.5 inches...you can easily align the edges of your paper so that you dont get a wonky or crooked tag/banner.

- Another advantage
of the wedges is it allows you to easily align paper widths
such as 1 ¾ or 2 ¼ to make layering quicker and easier.
- Nonskid Base : The base has built in nonskid discs which is especially handy when you are working with big punches such as these.

- Heavy duty Punch : The punches can easily punch papers of 300g and it even smoothly punched ivory sheets!
- Punches thin paper too- now you may be
wondering why am I listing this as an advantage of these Dress My Craft
punches...well surprisingly some heavy duty punches give jagged
edges with thin paper as they are meant to be used with card-stock!
- Cut pieces are useful too! I am sure there
are many of you who like to waste as little paper as is practically
possible when you craft. I love it when I can creatively use the
negatives and little bits which are left with the main punched
design . When you scroll down you'll see how easy it is to create chevrons
and beautiful patterns with the negative bits of the triple
punch designs!
Ok now let me show you some
project ideas to show the versatility of the Triple punch designs

If you
are using the increments of 0.5 inches width strips....increase your paper
strips by 1/4th inch only to get the perfect margin.I played around with the measurements of the strips to get borders of different widths.

Craft Punch Bookmarks |
One big time saver with this tag punch is the hole which also punches perfectly with the rounded top shape. You just have to add an eyelet and a thread to finish the bookmarks!Love how the punches work beautifully with different papers.

I created
a acetate window box from this project : Foamiran Flowers Hanging Decoration and made
a secure closure using the Rounded Tag punch.
You
just have to add an eyelet and thread a ribbon/twine to create the
closure.

These
cute Mini Flip top boxes are designed to hold ID/Business Cards. They are made
from 10 ¼ x 4 inch pieces of
card-stock using the rounded tag punch.

Chevron Pattern
Here are the backsides of the boxes showing how you can use the negatives of the punch-outs to create chevron patterns. They would look beautiful in cards too.

Here is a short video Tutorial to make the ID card holders
Organizer Baskets/ Gift Basket
Because the Tag Punch can punch through really thick paper...it
is fabulous to make Mini Organisers or Gift baskets. These cute
Organisers have wooden dowel sticks threaded through eyelets in the
tags and you can carry them around by holding the rods.
You can make them as long as you want. These are 4 inches long and 2 inches wide and
are perfect to hold tiny bottles of nail polish [above] or crafting
supplies such as Alcohol Inks [below]!
