If you want to "bend" you border into a shape, I trim my border strip very close to my punch like so. then I snip each diamond on the straight edge. this makes your piece pliable and you can bend it into any shape you like, such as a circle like so:

You can also adhere it around a punched circle , overlapping and working it toward the center like so:

If you punch all the way down a border and the try to do the other side with out flipping it over and starting at the same end you will not be evenly lined up. Does this make sense?? If not ask me questions and I will try to explain it better.
The class was worth it just for this!!! I would always punch all the way down and then try to figure out how to line it up! I never could! THank you so much for this tip!

Next, we are going to go back to the corner punch. You will again need a 1 inch strip.
Place it into the corner punch and center it. This time you will not be using the wings.
Hopefully you can see that there is a little bit on each corner where there is no paper. After you punch you will get a piece that looks like this:oops//lost that pics, but here is what it will look like if you punch both ends.

Here again are the pieces that you do not want to just trash.. they can make cute little "leaves" for the base of your flower.

Sorry I am late...I'm gonna try to catch up.

If you fold your strip that that has a punch on both ends like so, you can get a great little banner, which I have noticed it getting to be a hot trend on cards and layouts lately.
You can even add your flower to it. Cherry Jubilee

Kimandasmo wrote:Now for some even more fun stuff...lets alter that border a little.
Start by cutting off the rounded portions of the punch on every other scallop, or every third or whichever you prefer. I do this using my little scissors and making 3 small cuts. each cut is pictured here.
This is what your new border will look like.
Love the idea of altering the border

sometimes you have to adjust exactly where to cut them, but this has worked on atleast 80% of the punches that I have

Kimandasmo wrote:Again, do not throw away your little pieces. Keep those little diamonds. you can add them to the edge of your new border to create a neat little accent, like this.
You can put them all together to create their own border like this.
Or you can place them in between the little pieces from the edge punching to create a diamond border.
Cool!
