Spooky Sweets Bundle & the Tip of the Week

Spooky Sweets BundleToday I want to share with you the third bundle that you can find in the Toil & Trouble Suite in the Holiday Catalog.  The Spooky Sweets Bundle.  I think this bundle is my favorite…I have a thing for bats….fake, not the real ones!  I was pretty excited to see a new bat punch in the Holiday Catalog when it came out.  Stampin’ Up! hasn’t had one for a while.

Spooky Sweets.0918Here is a cute and fun card that I made using this bundle.  I could have punched the bats out of regular Basic Black cardstock but they are SO much cuter in foil!  Don’t you love the designer paper?  You can see all the products that I used on the card below.  Just click on an image and it will take you directly to my online store!

Are you ready for the Tip of the Week?  I’m probably not the first person to discover this but I did figure this out on my own.  🙂

When punching out the bats (or any image) from the Black (or any color) Foil Sheets have the foil side facing the top of your punch.  If, like me, you use your punches upside down so that you can see exactly where/what you’re punching you will want to be looking at the back side of the foil sheet.  You will get cleaner edges on your punched images.  You can see a comparison of the two different methods in the last picture.
