Tips For Punching Images From DSP
I love when a punch not only coordinates with stamped images, but also images on the Designer Series Paper!
For all of the cards I shared today I punched the whale from the DSP. Now, you also could stamp and punch a whale, or even–use a scissors to fussy cut.
Make sure to watch the video for my tip for punching images from a piece of Designer Series Paper.

Hi I was just wondering if you know how I can buy some whale of a time dsp. Thank you. Diane di345@aol.com
It’s a retired paper so you could check sites like Ebay to see if anyone has some to sell.
