Don't toss your baby's birthday greetings from friends and family in the garbage, or shove them in a box in the closet, never to be seen again. Grab a paper punch in your favorite shape, a piece of card stock and get to work creating an easy and colorful punch collage like this one from Ali Edwards. For maximum impact, Ali suggests choosing a loose color scheme and backing your paper punches with foam squares for extra dimension.
