Lifehacks for Scrappers

This is just a little "life hack" (or "craft hack"?) for easily cutting out labels that come in some cut apart sheets. Here are the Citrus Twist cut-aparts that are included in every month's kit. I LOVE THEM! I used to scan it in and print it with Scan and Cut through my Silhouette but that got to be a little tedious. So I decided to cut them by hand in March. I am getting so much better at cutting straight lines with scissors, instead of the paper trimmer, but I could never get the indented corners of the labels just right! So here's a little walk through of how I do it now.

Grab your scissors and cut out your label in a square, not worrying about the corners.

Grab a normal hole punch, like from an office supply store.

Use the hole punch to punch out the corners of the label. (This is not rocket science.)

Voila! A perfectly cut label with rounded corners!

Your label is ready to be used for journaling, stamping, embellishing, whatever!

So, that was a long explanation for a not-very-long or complicated process, but I wanted to share because I always like to think of new ways to use stuff I already have!
