I had used sticky notes to hold small pieces of paper to punch through
It's a very handy tip!@@BluntlySpeaking.V
Do you have information where in the USA I could purchase the beautiful heart punch that has the cross hatching in it that was in the video at 1:23?
Thank you
Unfortunately that one is no longer being manufactured I'm afraid, it's years old now. I did see this one amzn.to/47ELlA9 which is similar and it's the exact same brand/packaging as the heart one, you might be able to track one down at a local store or garage sale or even EBAY perhaps?
Thanks for all the cool tips... I have a million punches and felt like they were being neglected!! All really nice ways to use them.
If they are tucked away, they can be easily forgotten. I'm so glad you found this video and are now re-inspired to use them. 🎀
I have so many punches that I never use! Thank you so much!
ohhh, pull them out Marge and give them a spin! 🌷
This is great. I’ve picked up several punches at thrift stores and couldn’t figure out hoe they were suppose to work haha. So very helpful. Thank you so much. I just found your channel. Yeah👍❤️
How😜
oh wow, I hadn't actually thought to look for them there, that's so good! Glad I was able to help you get them working. 🙌
Have fun with them!!
Great tips. One additional comment. For my butterflies, I like using the negative as a stencil the way you did to make a shadow/underlayment for my dies. Thanks for sharing
Ohhh what a great tip!! Thanks for adding it here for us all. I appreciate you popping by the channel today.
Thanks for the inspiration. I'll be pulling out my punches.
Hey Gwen! 🌷 That's awesome, I'm so glad to have been able to help inspire you 🙌
Insightful. I had no idea there were so many punches.
Thanks for popping by today... oh so many options and they are all so useful!
I have used punches for over forty years but still learned a lot from your video. Thanks so much!
Oh wow!!! That is so so good Sally, I'm so glad I could inspire you 🎀
I’ve used punches for years but still learnt a lot! Tfs❤
That is so so good to hear! Thank you for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed this one 🌸
This was fabulous! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching :)
We store our punches in my husband's old Craftsman tool rollaway. They are made for heavy dury and we just cleaned and painted it to match our craftsroom. Also have many stored on towel bars.
What a great idea! Punches sure do need a sturdy storage option.
💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 it's funny, I found a heart punch in store (anyone remember when Carl sold their punches in Newsagents??) and bought it without knowing anything about scrapping/cardmaking. I was just like ohhh that's cute, and bought it. After about a week I looked up what to do with it - and that was my intro to Scrapping... hahaha
Oh my goodness, I remember those Carl punches were everywhere at one point! That totally sounds like something I'd do too (pick up a cute heart punch just because it's cute 💗) 🤣 What a fun intro to all the paper things... there's no going back now!! xo
Have gotten most of my punches from thrift stores & the aluminum foil works to make them work much better.
Thanks for letting me know Pamela, it's funny, a few people have said this doesn't work, but I have found it work quite well if done early enough and frequently... so I'm glad to hear you've had success with it. Thanks for popping by the channel today.
PS I WROTE TOO SOON! Thx soooo much for showing me how to use the envelope punch board! I bought one and haven’t been able to figure it out until you just showed/explained how! You are GREAT!
🤣🤣🤣 So so glad I could help!
Love your scrapbook pages. I started scrapbooks years ago, but just don't have the gift to make them as lovely as I'd like. So I stick to cards only.
Oh Valerie... the joy is in the making, not in the end product. I know it can be frustrating though. I hope my tips help. There are a bunch of layout tutorials on the channel where you can scrapbook along with me, maybe they might help? Thanks for spending a little of your creative time hanging out with me 🌷🌷🌷
I didn’t have a favorite they were all #10s to me. Another great video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Thank you so so much lovely! 🌷🌷🌷
I never knew how to use my punch board. Thank you so much.
Happy to help! 🎀
Genius, I am going to revive the use of my paper punches. Thank you!!!❤
My mission is complete 🥰 So glad you found this helpful!
All great ideas. Thank you for sharing them ❤
You are so welcome!
I love this. So many ideas and ways for us to fully utilize punches 🤩
I am so so glad you found this helpful, thank you so much for spending a little of your creative time with me. 🌸
Thank you for the super great ideas 💡
So glad you enjoyed them! 🌷
I did not use my punches anymore for a couple of years. But seeing your creations I love the use them again. So I'am ready to get all my boxes with punches and are going to make something beautyfull with them. Thanks so much!! Love from Leiden, Holland.
That is AWESOME!!! I'm so glad I was able to inspire you in this way. 🌷🌷🌷
love all the tips and tricks
Thank you so much!
I bought my first punch nearly 30 years ago & I now have quite a few! Some get used more than others but I can never bring myself to get rid of any as you never know when you will need them! I love snowflake punches as you can get so many different ones, I have a whole drawer full (about 20 different snowflakes!) I also have lots of the same punches as you have & I'm in the UK. Great video, I learnt a few new hacks. My first punches were tiny little ones, moon, sun, star, butterfly etc, I still use these a lot. Beautiful layouts by the way.❤
Thanks so much for sharing and your kind words. Glad you enjoyed this 🌸
Wow, I’ve been scrapbooking for over twenty years, and you’ve shown me hacks that I’ve never seen before! Bravo, Gwen! Oh, and I have a hack for you. If your punch is sticking, punch through some waxed paper, after you sharpen it with foil. Thank you for sharing. I’ll be watching this video again and again, for sure! 😊
Oh wow, I'm so glad Kim... that is so so good. I had planned this one for more beginners, but I am so happy you found it useful! 🎀 AND, thank you for your tip, I haven't tried this and I do have some sticky punches that I think this would work really well with, so glad you shared it here for our other creative friends xox
Amazing presentation! Thank you so much, Gwen! ~Ali (Nova Scotia, Canada) 🇨🇦 ❤
Aww, thank you Ali!!! Thanks for popping by today 🌷
Wow, thank you, I have lots of these little 'things' and I had forgotten how to use them and especially to use my envelop maker too. Thank you for sharing these for me too.
Glad it was helpful! 🌷
Love the I heart you one! Gorgeous!!❤❤❤… love them all actually
Awww thank you!! 🩷🩵🤍
I have never seen how to use my punches. You have been so helpful. How do I keep my punches sharp.? This has been a great viewing . Thank you ❤
Hey Diane, I use the Aluminium Foil and punch that through them. In the video, that was where I showed how to punch the foil with that butterfly punch. This is the only method I've seen and I will say that the best results I've had with it is to do it early, and frequently. If the punch gets too blunt it is very hard to fix. Just keep a stash of it in the same place you store your punches and give each one a punch whenever you use them. 👍
I'm making a point of revisiting my "retro" supplies this year. I'll be pulling out my basket of punches now. Great video! 🧡
Ohhh I'm so glad to hear this!! Love that you are going retro, so so fun!
I “LOVE” my punches!!!
Same!!! 🎀
Thank you so much! I learned a lot of creative ideas ❤
I'm so glad Kathy! 🎀
Love your finished examples...really helps us understand the use of the punches. Beautiful scrapbook pages.
Thank you so much Sarah! 🌼
Thank you so much for sharing these awesome tips ❤️
You are so welcome! 🎀
Thank you! I never knew this. I always flipped them over and matched up to use border punch.
So glad I could help! 🎀
Great tips - thank you! And I LOVE the layouts you shared and your style! Beautiful!
Thanks so much Jana, you're very kind! 🌷🌷🌷
wow this is amazing, a few I came up with also, you take it to another level, thank you soooo much
So so glad I was able to inspire you with some new ideas 🌷
Genius!! TY!
Thank you so much Deborah! 🎀
What a great video. Lots of terrific tips.
Thank you so so much! 🌸
Love your ideas!
Glad you like them Jen! 🌷
Your scrapbook layouts are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so so much!
Please can you show more on the pocket punch board? Thanks for all the tips, especially using punches as a stencil! Punch are a good investment especially when using your tips.
Your layouts bring punches to the next level!!😍😍😍 Tiny punches are great to use in place of enamel dots, especially with the rising cost. Add Liquid Glass to them to bring them up a notice. Plus you can stamp on them to add texture.
I still haven't opened it 😱😱😱 but I will... I'll make a video on it once I unbox and test it out. I'm super keen to give it a try, just haven't had a lot of block time to get to it this week. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on my videos, its so nice of you! 🌸
Thank you... I've used the single punch too for enamel dots, so much cheaper than enamel dots so you can sprinkle them all over the page which I love. I hadn't thought to stamp on them first though... clever! 🙌
Great tips and layouts.
Thanks so much! 🌼
very useful, thank you
Glad it was helpful! 🌷🌷🌷
Your layouts are gorgeous and I found this video really inspiring and full of super practical and creative ideas. Thanks so much!

Brilliant video thank you Gwen. I particularly love the hacks, especially using the hearts to make a scalloped edge - so clever.
I’m loving your videos.
Thank you so much Laura! I love that one too... so magic how they turn into scallops as soon as you place that card on top 🪄 I'm so glad you found this helpful, thanks for taking the time to write me this very kind message 🎀

Awesome Sharon, I know many of us started there and it's so good that after all these years we can still enjoy using them 🌼
Great ideas and your finished layouts are beautiful x
Thank you so much Claire! 🌷🌷🌷
Using the square punch for making banners is awesome. I'll be using this trick I have a hard time doing free hand. Thank you!
So glad this was helpful! 🌸
I have loads of all kinds of punches even though I gave quite a few away!! So happy to see some still have these !! Thanks for this video. Gayle

I have some of those Martha Stewart punches, and I a) didn't realize they came with instructions, and b) didn't know how to use the border and corner punches together. So thank you!

Hi , i so love your scrapbook layouts, so pretty . Thanks for the tips on the punches too. Tfs :)
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed this one
I still find scrapbooking very difficult to work with but watching your video I got lot of ideas 💡 l will make at least one page wish me luck.
I'm so glad you found this helpful Leena! Good luck! There are a few projects on the channel that I feel you might enjoy and be able to scrapbook along with, so check out my step x step tutorials as well 🎀
Thank you!! Awesome video. I learned a lot! Lol. I have often thot about just throwing them out (donate) but held onto them anyway. Now I can play!!!! 🎉🎉😊
Oh yay!!! Yes, don't donate them, keep them and use them, they can do oh so much ✂️
Love your scrapbook pages!! You have a lot going on, but with all that white space, it doesn't look crowded at all. Just discovered your channel and subscribed for all notifications.
Oh thank you Muriel, I'm so glad you found me and welcome! 🌼🌼🌼
I long to have scallop dies and bought couple of it...if i had known ur hack b4 ..i might not need to but those...nice topic😊😊😊
Yes, that one is a good hack that's for sure... the scallop dies will be faster though so now that you have them it will be worth it. You might find too that the heart punch creates a slightly different look, perhaps a little wider than the dies so I'm sure you'll get use out of both ideas 🌸
Thank you!! Great tips, trucks, hacks & absolutely beautiful layouts & layout designs!! Consider me a fan 💜💜
Awwww Thank you so so much! Such a sweet comment... you've made my morning ☀️
@@CreatedByGwen I am so glad to hear that!! And now that I have found your channel, I am going to have binge all your content and see more of those gorgeous layouts!! 🤗
🥰 Enjoy!! I hope you're ready for a BUNCH of inspiration!@@barilynnrennick4732
Omg your the queen of layouts 17:46
Oh Gayle, that is super kind of you to say! 👸 I don't know about that, but Thank you so much!!
Wow. I’ve been using punches for decades and yet learned so much from you. Thanks.
Oh wow, glad you enjoyed this! 🌸
Such a great video Gwen. I appreciate all of the tips and tricks. Thank you! I am definitely guilty of overusing the ruler on the envelope punch board. 🤦🏼♀️
Thanks Dottie! Don't worry, we've all been there 🤣
Thank you! Now I feel the need to bring out all my old punches and start creating again!
Another tip for paper scraps: use a post-it note as a handle! 👍🏼
Oh yay! Mission accomplished 💗 Oh yes, I had heard that, post-it notes make great handles, I just found I always had paper strips sitting on my desk so tend to use those. Thanks for popping by the channel today!
@@CreatedByGwen I used posted tape. It works great.
@@melissam9492 Good to know, I'll try that out!
Hi Gwen, I sharpen punches, dies and scissors with aluminium foil! It's a great tip and very handy ... I used it on a pair of secateurs the other day.
So so glad to hear this worked! I had a few people saying that it doesn't and it had me doubting myself. It's worked for me too :)
@@CreatedByGwen i think they need to understand that it needs to be lots of layers of aluminium foil. If you just use one sheet it doesnt work as well.
Yep... and the thickness of the foil makes a difference too. @@mandy.austin
You do some great scrapbook pages. I always feel a bit lost when trying to layout a bunch of photos.
Thank you! I'm a bit the same, I tend to only use up to 3 because I find more than that always ends up too cluttered. I haven't figured that out yet. 😆
Long time punch artist from way back…. Another good thing to do is also punch thru 4 to 6 layers of wax paper. This will help keep the punches from binding.
Hey!! I didn't know that punch art was a thing until I posted this video, another lady mentioned it and I've been looking into it... it's amazing the things you gals do with punches, I'm so inspired!! Thanks for sharing your experience here, it's so helpful to everyone. 🌷
