How to keep then sharp?

I love producing birthday cards, in addition to with SU punches they are easier than ever. although what happens when your punches are not giving you clean cuts?  How do you sharpen them? 

Well, that will is easier than you think. First, that will is easier to sharpen them at  the first sign of the punch getting dull.  When they get definitely dull, that will takes more work to sharpen. However, This particular is a great job for the children in addition to they will consider that will play time.

How to Sharpen your SU Punches? 

• Take out the aluminum foil. 
• You will need a piece about 12" long.  A larger piece for larger punches. 
• Fold the foil in thirds by top to bottom, about 4". Now side to side in half.   
• Important : Be sure all the foil is folded firm in addition to flat. This particular will prevent that will by getting stuck in your punch. 
• Now let's cut out some fun foil pieces. (Do not throw away) Cut out several, then test your punch on card stock. Still not sharp, repeat using another piece of folded foil.
• One more step; we need to keep the cutting edges waxed so they punch easier. Cut off a piece of wax paper. Fold that will as before in addition to punch.

 Now let's have some fun with our foil in addition to wax paper pieces.  No reason to be wasteful.

As you can see we are using our foil heart on This particular great birthday card. 

  Join me next Saturday when we will be Washi Taping that will up........
