THIS...is a tool you can make yourself! I used Trading Card pockets which you can buy at any Comic Book Store...you can get them for less than 3-4.00 per 25 pockets. They come in various sizes, so you can choose which size you want. What I did was use some 'old' cardstock, and punch each of the punches on a card. I did double up on some of them because they were small.
I used the Crop a Dile to punch a hole and then got some of the beaded key chains from my local craft store (Michaels) and threaded it through the holes to put them together.
To use this tool, you take the image you have, and then line it up to the punched shape. If you don't have the right one, it won't fit!
You can see that the larger one lines up perfectly. You can also use this to see if you like a partial image in the shape too!
Go to your local Comic Book Store, and Ask for Trading Card Toploader Protectors.
I found the idea on someone else's blog and started mine last year....! So my collection is growing!
This card uses the Hostess set and the Large Heart Punch
Stamp: A Little Something, Holidays & Wishes
Paper: Raspberry Tart, Regal Rose, Whisper White
Accessories: Heart Punch, Lace Border, Grosgrain Ribbon
Have a Great Weekend!
