Here goes..... take the punch you want to elongate, and measure the widest part of the punch Cut a strip of card to this size in this case it's 38mm. thread it into the side of the punch and out of the middle of the punch and punch one end of it Next stamp the image you want on it, see how this doesn't fit into the punch? So then thread the punched end out of the middle of the punch, line it up and punch again Voila.... Longer punched shape with the pretty edges :) You can do this with a variety of punches, as shown below to make the
