Default Concave squares

How do you make the nice concave cuts on square pieces of card stock. There are lots of examples in the gallery using these concave cuts, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks for your help!

Some of the examples you're seeing may have used one of the punches that SU! sells.
I cut mine free-hand, though. I just start with a square, then start cutting from one corner, curving into the center, then out to the next corner. Don't worry if it's not perfect...I don't think it has to be to be effective.

yup you can buy the punch SU sells (I am sure other companies do too) or just start with the square... I just use one of my square punches though

Thanks ladies! I looked for the punch, but didn't see it. If it was a snake it would have bitten me. I think I will try the free hand (although I'm not that good at free hand stuff) since the square I want to use it on needs to be bigger than the punch.

Thanks for your quick help!

I have the convex and concave punches from SU. They work great.
