Make your own easter invitations with paper punch decorations
There are many ways to utilize a paper punch to make your own easter invitations.
* Punching holes! of course! You can buy paper punches in many, many different shapes and sizes. Here I show some examples of eater themed punches. A tulip, an oval for an egg shape, and a floral decorative corner punch for a fancy easter card.
If you are punching decorative holes into your easter invitations the inside of the invitation peeks through these holes! Bring your invitation to the next level by
attatching a different colored paper to the inside of the card for a splash of style! You can even attatch a picture to
the inside and have a special someone smiling out through the paper punch!
This would be especially useful if you have a bunny shaped punch or a bunny's face.
*Using paper punch pieces. When you punch holes in different paper you end up with little pieces of punched out paper in the shape of your decorative paper punch. You can use these as embellishments when you make your own invitations.
When
you attatch them to the front of the card they will stand out.
*Using negative space. You can even use the negative space when punching holes. For example, if you are punching decorative paper shapes out of a different paper than your invitation, you are left with a hole in this same shape. Well what if you cut out that hole by cutting a circle or square around this shape.
That negative space can also be used as a decoration.
*Create embellishments! Combine different paper punch shapes to create a whole new shape or even create paper embellishments.
For example, I did exactly this using a heart shaped paper punch. I arranged the little heart shaped pieces to shape a flower. I then placed a very small
circular paper punch shape for the inside of the flower.
