Craft punches and hole punches for cards and paper decor

Punching shapes for cards, decor and paper projects

Craft punches cut even shapes from paper and thin cardstock in one quick press – hearts, stars, circles, flowers and many more motifs. Use them to decorate greeting cards, invitations and gift tags or to make table scatter and confetti. Hole punches and punch pliers round out the range when you need holes for ribbons, eyelets or filing.

What to keep in mind when punching

Each punch is designed for a certain paper weight. Cardstock that's too thick can dull the blade or jam the punch – the details for each product help you choose. Small punches suit table scatter and accents, larger ones card motifs and tags. With a hole punch you make holes near the edge, while punch pliers let you place single holes precisely, for example for eyelets or ribbons.

You can use both the punched shape and the negative, for example as a stencil or as a window effect on cards.

• Craft punches in small and large sizes
• Punches for table scatter and confetti
• Hole punches for filing and threading
• Punch pliers for single, precise holes

Tip: Hold the punch upside down while you work so you can see exactly where the motif lands on the paper. If it sticks, punching through aluminum foil or wax paper a few times often helps.
