Punches like the Decorative Label Punch are great for punching out a sentiment you have stamped. Here is a way you can mat the sentiment like you do with framelits to make it stand out.
Cut out your sentiment with the Decorative Label Punch, or a similar style punch. Then with the same punch, cut out two extra pieces of cardstock in a contrasting colour. With paper snips, cut one in the middle horizontally, and the other in the middle vertically. Trim any extra bits that would be poking out, so they appear as in the photo. Adhere the two side pieces to the back of your sentiment piece with some showing either side of you main punched out piece. Then adhere the top and bottom pieces in the same way.
Why don’t you give this a go? If you do, I would love to see how you use it in your creation. Please comment below and include a link to your blog with your creation. Or send me an email with a photo.
Have fun matting your sentiment with just one punch!
