The EASIEST way to hand cut the whale tail tab shape.

[@Barbara-lf2sg]

You are a true Friend to all us poor crafters! Thank you! Your video was the best "show and tell" ever....no trouble following along...I now am a proud owner of not one but two perfect whale tails....yeah Happy in Asheville North Carolina....Barbara

[@Scrimpingmommy]

Aww glad the video helped Barbara. Thanks so much for watching xx

[@beauteoussounds1156]

You’re an angel 😇 answering my prayers 🙏!!! I’ve wanted that punch *forever* but just couldn’t justify the price. TY TY TY

[@Scrimpingmommy]

Glad it helps practice a few times you will get it perfect x

[@naomipetzer6843]

Thanks so much!!!! Best and easiest way to do these whale tail. Im very excited. Making a bunch!!!

[@Scrimpingmommy]

Aww you are welcome xx

[@JH-wd7ul]

Amanda, I'm sending you a great big hug! I check Ebay periodically for this paper punch and the prices never go down enough to tempt me to buy it. Now there's no need. You're the BEST! Janet 💕

[@Scrimpingmommy]

No problem your money is way better spent elsewhere xx

I have not been by in quite some time but so glad I saw this video and watched it. You do give us great ideas for DIY! And - I love listening to you. I love many accents and often pay a lot of attention to details in speech. Ok. Not just often but mostly all the time!! Ha ha? It’s really easy for me to pick those things up … but oddly enough when I lived out of state, most people said I did not sound like I was from Texas. Though many people thought we all had oil wells and horses. (Back in the 1970’s). Anyway, I do enjoy listening to you and the ideas you share. Thank you!

[@Scrimpingmommy]

Thank you so much for dropping by Jenn it’s very much appreciated xx Amanda

[@adorableadornments1101]

My punch broke, so I took a photo of one of my tabs and uploaded it to my Cricut and now I can print as many as I want. There is also a die set on Aliexpress for this tab in 3 different sizes. Thanks for sharing the no-expense version.

[@Scrimpingmommy]

Yeah see doing that would be against copyright as SU own that exact shape … but yeah no cost is the aim here x

Thank you so much Amanda, I really really appreciate your time and effort to bring us all this video. I can’t believe that people are asking all that money 💵 for one of those punches.

Hello Amanda, thank you so much for sharing how you can make these whale tail tabs. You are so right about the price of the punch it is insane how much they want for them.

[@kazeekins1]

A great share Amanda . People are just outrageous .. charging such silly prices . Mind you so are those who pay the price .. in my opinion. This is just as good . Hugs Kay x

[@Scrimpingmommy]

That’s how much they fetch auction style it’s crazy … and thank you x

[@createwithpamela]

Brilliant! I've been wanting the whale tail punch but gave up due to those insane prices. Now, you've come up with an awesome substitute -- & I can't tell the difference! You are amazing! Hugs from Ireland.

[@Scrimpingmommy]

Glad I could help xx

[@theshabbyhippie]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@Scrimpingmommy]

Thanks so much for watching xx

[@suzyemery]

This is brilliant! I was able to purchase a die set that is close to the whale tail. Your video is just wonderful though!
I don't know why Stampin Up doesn't just bring back the punch. They would sell like hotcakes. I believe they would make a fortune.
Have a great day!
Hugs 💕 Suzy

[@angelabaker3638]

why don't they just make the whale tail punch again? I wrote to company and NO RESPONSE .

[@Scrimpingmommy]

They won’t remake it because there are so many others and dies of this shape on the market now .. as you can see it’s easy enough to replicate its a very basic shape really x
