Have you ever had to try to figure out the middle of a piece of card stock you're using? If you are like me, you hate math and struggle with it. BUT Stampin' Up! has a way to make that so simple! SU has awesome grid paper that I have on my workspace at all times and of course use it at every workshop or class. So, if you have some take a closer look: along the bottom, the ruler goes from 0" to 16" left to right across the bottom. Now, turn the grid around so the top is at the bottom and look in the center. The center is ZERO and grows bigger in 1/4" increments out! Yayyyy!
This grid makes a way to line up the card stock so you can punch the tabs at the same spot on each side so they line up perfectly using the Scallop Tag Punch.
Here you can see what I do. I learned this from Dawn Olchefske on her blog, THANK YOU Dawn!
Place your punch so it is centered on the "0", trace the top of it onto your grid and then line up your card stock so the 5 1/2" side is also centered.
Place your card stock inside the punch. You'll need to slide it in carefully as the punch is made for a 2" wide piece of card stock, but you can get around that and put in any size you want.
