Martha Stewart Crafts Punch, Classic Butterfly

Love my fleur de lis! I live in Louisiana so I use fleur de lis a lot in decorations that I make. They are hard to draw where both sides are even, so this punch is great. I can make as many as I need for my projects. I use metallic poster boards, junk mail and advertisements sent in the mail. Good quality and use foil paper to sharpen them right up. Great purchase.

I love this butterfly paper punch! Easy to use! No complaints! Perfect for DIY paper embellishments! Punches through card stock as well. Delievered on time and in excellent condition.

Great results using this product.As always Martha makes things easy to use.I have several of her punches and they are always sharp.I like that alot.Saves time and money.My hydrangeas came out perfect. The right size for my project.

As others have noted, this is a TINY punch- the punched out image is around the size of a small coin. But it's perfect for adding dates to photos, as an actual tag for small things, or just an accent for scrapbooking and paper crafts. As with most Martha Stewart punches, it doesn't do well on super-thick cardstock, but on patterned paper and normal weight papers, it punches easily and cleanly.

I used this to cut out paper butterflies to glue to a canvas. It worked really well, of course it was a little slow going since I was punching one butterfly at a time.You have to make sure you press hard so the punch goes the whole way down and through the paper when using something thicker (like cardstock). If you don't, you end up with a half punched outline that probably will have to be discarded. Overall I am happy with the purchase, but it did require a bit of force so prepare for tired hands if you need to punch a lot of butterflies like I did.

Pros: Cuts out pretty shape flowers and it's easy to use.Cons: You have to turn the punch upside down to see how where you're punching because this thing is so bulky you can't see where approximately you're punching so you waster paper. This can be annoying cause when you hold it upside down and punch flowers, they kinda jump up and out.Also, after using it for maybe 25-30 sheets of paper, it started sticking. I'm assuming that it's dull, which is a POS because it should be able to punch hundreds of sheets of paper. (and I was only punching one sheet of paper at a time). I can still use it, however it will stick every now and then so I have to use a knife to un-stick it. It's quite annoying. I would not recommend this product. It punches pretty flowers but it's low quality.

What I really like about these types of MS punches is that I can flip the punch upside down and see exactly where the punch will cut. This makes for very tight punches and very little wasted paper. I have had this punch for well over a year now and given it quite a workout. Whenever it starts go cut a little harder I punch through first aluminum foil and then some wax paper, fish out the bits that get stuck, and the punch is as good as new again. One of the best in terms of ease in my collection, highly recommended.

I purchased the scalloped tag punch and find it to be top quality. Very easy to use even on the weakest of hands. The bottom is open so you can see exactly where you are punching for precise punches and little paper waste. On a single sheet of 8.5" x 11" card stock I can make over 100 tags. Each tag measures 1 1/8" x 5/8" and makes just the right size tags for small items like jewelry and ornaments. I used a small hole punch on my tags to be able to string them up.
