Thank you SOOO much for this helpful video! I purchased several tag punches and was getting ready to return one, because I just couldn't get it to punch correctly (Treasured Tags Pick A Punch). But after watching your video, I can now punch like a pro!😂 You are TERRIFIC!
I know in the RUclips world this is an older video. However I just found it. It’s awesome! I have these dies and had no idea I could use these this way. Thank you so much.
Love the tips! Also wanted to share that a Post It Note works well to hold a small piece of paper to be punched that is so small that it can't be held in place with your hands when it is in the punch. SImply attach the sticky portion of the Post It Note to the side of the small piece of paper :D So easy!
I lengthen/shorten diecuts with my dies, too, with the ones I actually can. That trick with the fancy shaped dies will be helpful with nesting dies that aren't really going to fit for an even border if using the next one up.
Some of my favorite of your tips. I have been a sub for a little over 2 years and was just thinking to myself last night; "How does Connie do it?" You never seem to run out of tips, tricks & ideas. That is just not how my brain works so, thank you, very much, for sharing your creativity!
Thank you so much Connie, I really really enjoyed watching you show us all these amazing tips and tricks with our punches. I’m definitely going to look at my punches in a whole new light. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags.
Brilliant! Another great video with tips I never thought of. One more tip I have is that I use canned air to blow out any pieces and dust that clog the mechanism inside the punch. Thank you again!
Thank you Connie. Those notches for the ribbon have helped me so much. I have always struggled with my ribbons slidding around on me. Now, thanks to your wonderful tip, they stay where I want/need them to.
Great tips - huge wow factor. I will now be looking at my punches in a different light as there are so many possibilities that I haven't realised. Lorraine (from Australia)
Loved all these hacks .. especially the 'handle' hack... just ran up against that need the other day and had to start over with larger piece of paper! Now I know what to do!! Thanks for all of these tricks!
Hi there, I tried my hand at being a Stampin Up! demonstrator years ago but, just couldn't get much of a following. I LOVED Stampin Up! Making cards and embellishments was so much fun. I was asked to create invitations, place markers and more for my company Christmas party 2 years in a row. One was an Asian theme and the other was Snowflakes. I loved the stamping and heat embossing and the whole creative process. I put in a lot of time (on top of working my regular job) but, it didn't feel like work. I was signed up on my sisters down line and if I could have afforded to, I would probably still be demonstrating. Although I still have my stamps and pads I'm a bit behind the times. I got out of the business just as the new clear sets and supplies were coming out. I miss "playing with ink" on a daily basis. I think you're video has reignited my creative flame (😳 kinda dangerous around paper products, lol!). 😉 Thank you so much for popping up on my suggested video feed and providing that spark.
@@simplysimplestamping Yes, Connie, I had so much fun with ink and paper. It is so different from my life long love of crochet (and now knitting too). I'm planning on getting out my stamps, inks and papers to get back into making pretty things. Hopefully the pads aren't too dried up. I have some refills too but...what's the shelf life on those?! 🤔 Lol!

While watching this video I had a lot of “duh, why didn’t I think of that” moments. Thanks for posting this video.
Cheryl, that happens to me too!
Me too
Cutting those corners off the 2 way cuts to make a mat for a label-GENIUS! I was afraid of cutting too much:)
Thank you. I am glad it was helpful.
Thank you for the great ideas.@@simplysimplestamping
I am new at card making, so I enjoy all the information I can get @@simplysimplestamping
I have been dropping my punches for a number of years. I feel validated! Thank you!
You are so welcome! 😊

Jan, I am so glad it was helpful!
Wow, just wow! My punches have just stood up and applauded!!!
Ve, you just made me smile.
Great tips! I love using punches.
R. C., thank you very much.
I use strips of post it notes for hack #2.
Great idea.
The punch used for double twine would make a perfect top of a rectangle paper to make a jar.
Leslye, that is a great idea.
I know in the RUclips world this is an older video. However I just found it. It’s awesome! I have these dies and had no idea I could use these this way. Thank you so much.
Cindy, you are very welcome.
Awesome! I was going to throw out a stuck punch. Now I’m going to go unstick it. 🤞

KT, thanks for sharing the tip.
That's a great idea. I always have post-it notes.
If you get a pack with the page markers, you have ready-made thin holders.
I watched this again for a refresher course.
So glad you watched. Thank you!

Wow! I never imagined I could use my heart punches for a scalloped
Phyllis, I am so glad this was helpful for you.
Great video. I'm a year late, but that's the great thing about RUclips...I can be late to the party and still learn a lot.

I don't have punches but I was fascinated anyway. I love the way you think!

Great tips. It's always nice to find another use for something purchased for one thing. Multi-use products are great. Thanks for sharing.
Arlinda, I agree. Love to stretch my dollars.

Hi there,
I tried my hand at being a Stampin Up! demonstrator years ago but, just couldn't get much of a following. I LOVED Stampin Up! Making cards and embellishments was so much fun. I was asked to create invitations, place markers and more for my company Christmas party 2 years in a row. One was an Asian theme and the other was Snowflakes.

I was signed up on my sisters down line and if I could have afforded to, I would probably still be demonstrating.
Although I still have my stamps and pads I'm a bit behind the times. I got out of the business just as the new clear sets and supplies were coming out.
I miss "playing with ink" on a daily basis. I think you're video has reignited my creative flame (😳 kinda dangerous around paper products, lol!). 😉
Thank you so much for popping up on my suggested video feed and providing that spark.
Christie, thank you for your kind words. It sounds like you enjoyed playing with ink.

Yes, Connie, I had so much fun with ink and paper. It is so different from my life long love of crochet (and now knitting too). I'm planning on getting out my stamps, inks and papers to get back into making pretty things. Hopefully the pads aren't too dried up. I have some refills too but...what's the shelf life on those?! 🤔 Lol!
Love how you made a border for the punched put label!!! Great idea!! Thx for great video.
