Those blasted punches again

I know, I know. I just cannot seem to let it go. Once I got started with the corner and border punches, I was like a dog with a bone. In my quest to punch the perfect circle I went searching for a template.******note the original template has been removed. Paprluvr on YT found this one. It is from Florida's Educational Technology Clearing house ******   I found this one at the CDC. My search also resulted in many illustrations of the Arctic Circle showing lines of latitude and longitude. This was perfect for what I wanted to do. After resizing the template using the format picture--I printed out a few copies on 8.5 x 11 paper.

The next thing was to place my circle on the grid to note the size. I punched a template for myself and noted the number of degrees it covered by pacing it on the cut circle's outer circumference. 

That determined how many times I could punch around the circle.


 I made about an inch and a half mark around the circle on the correct number of degrees and then punched. (Please forgive my typo that I did not catch!)



I was expecting great results but was still surprised with the outcome. Even the extra bits are symmetrical.


I am sure other corner punches would work just as well. So long as you are able to see through the punch for alignment.

Here are a few more stills of my punches.

If you have not seen the Vee-dio; you can watch it here.

Don't forget to pull out your stamps and ink and shade with love to your heart's desire. Until then.
