I've had a lot of questions and emails since I posted the card using the Curly Label Punch for a decorative edge.
I'm going to explain it how I do it...it might not be how others do it....but I hope I can explain it well enough for you to try it too!
First thing I do is draw a straight line on the backside of my paper to use as a guide.

Then I line up my curly punch as you see here in the photo. I like to punch just above the line. Also I like to start in the center or there about :)

Here is after one punch.

I line up the next one...see the red arrow...can you see how there is a small space...overlap the punch as I did. Continue doing that in both directions. This will create the peaks going down.

Here it is finished :)

Hope you can understand what I've done! If you have questions...give me a holler!
