Default Best SU Punches?

Ok, I need advice on your favorite SU punches because I finally have some $$ to buy a few. I already have a scallop punch and plan to buy the Word Window, Round Tab, and horizontal slot. Do you use the spiral punch a lot? I just want something different. Thanks for the advice.

Ok, I can't add much to this as I only own the word window punch, the tab punch and the spiral punch (if it ever delivers).

But - Your mini doxie avatar is TOO cute! I have 2 as well!

I just got the photo corners punch and know I'm going to use it a lot. The tag punches are also a good investment, IMO. I also use all the circle punches a ton as well.

I think any of the punches that aren't available through other vendors are worth getting. I have quickly acquired the label, both the tag punches, the scallop, word window, ticket, tab, and more. I like them all!

I use my slit punch alot as well. Perfect for giftcard holders and matchbook cards. It also makes great scallop pieces.

I use the ticket corner, corner rounder (mostly for scalloped edges), scallop circle, tag (both sizes) the most. I want to get the 2 oval punches and the one that punches the 3 flowers.

Another vote for the ticket punch. It adds a lot to a card for a little price. I have the round tab and the word window and have not used them much. I am now waiting for the scallop. Good luck deciding.

I am currently obsessed with wanting the 2 oval punches - there have been so many times where they would've been PERFECT and I don't have them...

I do use the scallop and photo corner ones quite a bit - also for scrapping! the file tab one also is heavily used in my home!

Make sure you get both sizes of tag punch so you can make the gorgeous poinsettia!!!

I have to say I use the circle and tag punches the most when I make cards. I love having multiple sizes so I can mat them too. Get the best punch you can quality wise. Then you won't be like me and having to replace some already!

Glad you asked this question, by the way. I have been dying to know what to add to my small collection too!

Punches! I love 'em and have a collection of them. I love the fact that they nest so we can layer. I have to say I don't have the photo corner punch yet. I make my photo corners out of either the small or large sqaure punch. They make that smaller square that's like 1 1/4" and I punch that first. Then I turn the larger square (depending on how big I want the corner square) over so I can see the little already punches square and I eyeball it to center and then punch! Then I snip to make the corners. Very easy and fun and is a great workshop wow!

From another thread I got the idea that you can take the designer label punch; fold your punched label in half; and voila! you have a round tab; and save $$!

I LOVE PUNCHES!!! Since I'm a demo they're so easy to use at a workshop. I just placed an order and I ordered the slit, scallop, 1 3/8" circle, corner rounder (I want to try the scallop thing w/ it too)...I am so excited...I just received the tag punch and the horizontal and my first SU punch was the ticket punch which I totally love! It is just so different and fantastic!
