Paper Punches

[Becki]

Anyone have a source for unique paper punches?  I'm looking for an inch or larger and unusual designs...not the same old hearts, butterflies and leaves.

you might want to consider looking at some dies too Becki.  Stampin up has some and you can also find some at Michaels. However to use dies you'll have to buy a  Cuttlebug or something of that sort.

I have looked at dies.  Unfortunately I haven't seen too much different from what I see in punches.  Not sure I want to get into one of the die cutter systems yet.
Thanks, Anne.

Martha Stuart has a line of fancy paper punches that she sells on the HSN.  Very nice patterns and system that you don't need to buy anything else to use

I've seen the Martha Stewart punches.  They're also available on scrapbooking websites.  Unfortunately I find that her designs are not much different than the other punches out there.  I guess what I'm looking for doesn't exist....yet!

What exactly are you looking for?

What exactly are you looking for?

I'm not sure!  I was just hoping that someone knew of a supplier with punch designs that were different from the usual mundane punches that are seen on alot of craft/scrapbooking sites. I want something more unique and not cutesy.  I'll know it when I see it.  Then I'll build my idea around it.  I may even have to get out the craft knives and see what I can do myself.

I was just thinking that.  If you want something different, you are going to have to do it yourself.
