Tape chipboard Circle layer is sent to
to top of mat cut and removed from
the rest of the
chipboard.

 After the hole is cut in the chipboard, the mat is left in place in the Zing! This is important. The cut circle
is removed and the actual dog tag is placed inside the cut hole. Tape is used to secure the tag:

 The blade holder is replaced with the Zing Engraving Tool. In the Set Blade Origin window, Use Last is
selected so that the laser light will return to the same location as was used for the cut. Blade Offset is
turned off and a Force of 140 and 3 Multicut passes are set. The letter is engraved in the same
location on the tag as was designed on the Virtual Mat:

10.10 Using the Punch Tool

 The Zing Punch Tool can be used for creating decorative designs (such as pergamano and other parchment
arts) or for creating small holes for paper embroidery.
 To protect the mat and the thin punch, it is recommended that a thick soft material be used as a cushion
between the paper/cardstock and the cutting mat. Suggested materials that will work well include non-slip
shelf liner, craft foam, and stiffened felt.

 The same basic principles apply to punching as in embossing and scoring:
 You will probably need to use the WYSIWYG cut mode.
 You will need to turn off the Blade Offset setting.
 You will possibly need to use multiple passes to get the desired results.

 Refer to the Suggested Settings table at the end of this chapter or force and speed settings on various
materials.
 To design a punch pattern, use the Rhinestone function presented in Section 8.12, however, select the
smallest size available from the drop down menu. This will create holes suitable in size for paper
embroidery. After clicking on Accept, you may need to apply a Break in order to re-space and tweak your
overall design.
