yoyo Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I was wondering if anyone would tell me what brand of scrapbooking punches are the best for a heavier weight cardstock. I know nothing about scrapbooking and could really use some advice. I want to use it to make a circle approx. 2 inch or even a cupcake design. Thanks you for any help you can give me.

LuminousBoutique Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I dont know which are the best.. but I bought one that is lime green, and its CRAP.. cant punch through much.. especially not cardstock. It binds very easily. Its a Marvy Uchinda.. I think a 1", 1.5" and 2" are what I got. None of them work well. I have a sizzix big kick but never really use it... but for what I spent on those punches I could have gotten a few big kick dies and they work WAY better, I can cut through 6 layers of felt with my big kick. Oh well, live and learn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jade Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I have a scalloped circle punch from EK Success. On the bottom of the punch it says Paper Shapers. It's a hefty punch that will easily cut a 1&1/2 inch scalloped edge circle from poster board. I know these punches come in other shapes & sizes but this is the only one I've tried.

Sharon in KY Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Has anyone shopped Tuesday Morning lately. Well it's been several years for me and I was surprised how much craft things they have saw some punches too. Bought a baby pacifier one from Fiskar for $4, I didn't have time to shop much. But I'm going back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I bought a Martha Stewart 1 inch circle hole punch and that little baby works pretty well! It's heavy as heck, too! I use it for my art pendants, so I use it mainly for photo paper and cardstock. I need to find bigger circle hole punches so I'll be watching this post.... I had another punch which was a prim heart punch but I sold it. That thing was so heavy, I swear it would have cut through metal! LOL It was red in color and I had bought it at Michael's. HTH a little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
