Mini File Tab Punch- Any Length You Like

Well, I've always loved Heather's trick to make a tab with a tag punch, and there's the clever use of the Stampin' Up slot punch to make rounded word strips, but it did not occur to me until today . . . .

. . .to insert just one end of a strip of paper into the McGill Mini File Tab Punch to make longer or shorter tabs!

The width of the strip should be 1 1/2 inches and the length is totally up to you! Yay!

******ETA: To see a project using this handy punch, check out my Miss Moxie Composition Book ********

P.S. You knew I just would not be able to resist adding ribbon to my egg hunt book, right?

  3. Hi there. I love the book, it looks really like spring (and I could need that, it's pouring down with rain for the last couple of days. But i cannot see where you used the tab? To me it looks just like a yellow coloured cs strip with a scalloped one underneath.
    Thanks for explaining it to me, perhaps I am just blind?!

  4. Hi anonymous! You're right! I didn't use the punch on this book, but I edited the post with a link to a project where I used the punch, so you could see it in action. I love making these tabs! Now if I have longer words, I can make tabs to fit.
