Martha Stewart produce wonderful edge punches, both in a standard size and also in the deep edge. They provide an easy way to add that extra ‘something’ to embellish a page. You can create a lovely layered look as Sue has done with lots of strips of paper that have been border punched with different patterns or do something a little simpler.
To create her page, Sue used the gorgeous MME Stella & Rose collection and started with one of the plainer backgrounds. Sue then chose co-ordinating papers and cut them into different width strips. She border punched the strips, inked them and layered them, adhering to the bottom section of her base paper.
If you only have boy photos to scrap, don’t be put off by the pretty scallop and doily lace edges. Sue shows that by using the right papers, you can definitely use them. Martha Stewart edge punches are quite easy to use. Start in the middle of your paper and move to each side, using the ‘edge guide’ to align each punch with the last.
A clever feature of many of the edge punches, is that their sides fold up for easy storage. A feature Sue loves as she can afford to add a few more to her drawer!
Iris has one big love affair with Martha Stewart Punches. She uses it to dress up her pages and add texture. A few sheets of patterned paper are transformed into beautiful shapes by these dies.
When Iris was asked to design with Martha Stewart products, she thought she was only going to be playing with punchers... to her surprise, Martha Stewart came up with these beautiful delicate gem encrusted vellum butterflies! It was a beauty in its own, but Iris glammed it up further by rubbing different coloured inks on the wings to create these colourful winged beauties adorning her page.
The above layout was created by Pearl Lui and we love the way she has created a gorgeous layout with a simple but clever design to showcase a gorgeous bunch of flowers she was given for Valentine’s Day. Pearl wanted to keep the layout relatively light and airy so it wouldn’t overpower her picture. She chose to use the super cute Jillibean Soup Dutch Mustard collection and Martha Stewart punches to create her page.
Pearl loves hearts, pennants and stitching in layouts and she has used the Martha Stewart studded heart all over the page punch to create a window and has slipped a torn book page behind it. Such a cute technique.
Pearl has cleverly pleated some of her paper on the layout below her photo and finished it off using the Martha Stewart lace heart edge punch, which is very effective. Thank you so much Pearl for allowing us to share your lovely page.
As a scrapbooker, Mary Ann Jenkins always LOVE to try all the newest supplies the scrapbooking world has to offer, but she also always want to remember why she started this hobby over 20 years ago - to keep a record of her family's life.
This layout, "Why I scrapbook" is a message to her daughter about how important it is to Mary Ann to remember not just the big things, but the just as important little things.
Mary Ann Jenkins has 3 awesome boys, 1 sweet little princess, and a wonderful husband that are the subjects of her many scrapbook layouts.
Brianne Nevill created this layout entitled “True Colors” as a tribute to the magazine staff at ScrapStreet. This page has become one of her favourites not only for the huge variety of colour but also because she absolutely adores these fun photos of her friends. Brianne is inspired by bright, loud colours (just like her personality). She loves the butterfly punches by Martha Stewart and have used them on several layouts. This is just one of the many pages of Brianne that has been embellished by the use of Martha Stewart Punchers.
