Border Stash Video Tutorial

I mentioned having a "border stash" a few weeks ago and wondered if it might be a good little video so thought I would do just that!

So here is my little secret of having borders ready to use!

    You are just as cute as a ladybug and I loved this border tip. Since I like recycling so much it fits right into the scheme of things for me.

  18. Great tip! Are you using a 12x12 sheet? I thought I knew until you got to the 3 and 3/4 cuts.:)
    Do you end up with 2"strip each or a 2" and some other width on the bottom one(3 3/4cuts).I'm math challenged today(well-most days)LOL.
    Great idea.Thanks for sharing. You are so generous with your talents.

  19. What a genius idea Okie! I'm always saving scraps figuring I can use them for small punches down the road, but never occured to me to do the border strips - I'm so darned excited. Thanks for always sharing!

  29. Thanks for your idea - I had time to work on some borders today while waiting for friends to come over - even went in my trash can and took out some of the strips I had cut off earlier this week!

  30. OMG ... slapping hand to head with a V-8 moment of realization that I could have been saving all those little strips of paper (or, being the total blonde that I am, that may have been a "duh" moment).

    Thanx for sharing this great idea Shirley ... now I'm off to see if I can retrieve any of those tossed out paper strips!

  31. Great tip and I get to use my punches instead of just collecting them. Thanks Okie :-)

  37. Cool Okie! I keep all my extra punches in a cigar box, so If I'm looking for an idea, I sometimes I find a die cut or punch that will do the trick! I often throw away the end bits from when I make my envelopes, so maybe I'll do a few borders and see how it works for me. Thanks a bunch!
