I'm always amazed by the human memory power available in this forum, so I figure this long-shot question is worth trying!
Years ago (probably pre-2010) I think there was a SU! flower punch in the same shape as the current Pansy punch, but larger. Punched shape measures about 2 1/8 inch across. There was a stamp set that coordinated in an interesting manner with it, or so I think.
Does anyone remember this and can help me name the stamp set involved? I was looking at Flower Shop recently and thought, "No need to buy that, I own something really similar, just a tad bigger." And of course, in my mess of a craft room I have found the punch but no idea what stamps I thought of. :confused:
(FYI, not the Blossom punch, nor the 5-petal that looked more star-like, but a punch exactly the shape of the Pansy).
(Also, full confession: I bought a McGill punch named "Floriano" that was just like the SU punch, so the recollections of the purchases are even more blurry...)
Here's the larger flower punches by history. I looked at the catalogs up until pansy was introduced, beginning in the early 2000's. 2006 and before the punches were basic EK Success punches for the most part, and smaller.
5 petaled flower.
...introduced FW 2007 catalog, discontinued in 2011
...This is a five petaled flower but it has pointy petals, not petals with two lobes like the pansy punch. It's the size you are talking about.
Fancy flower.
...introduced in 2010-11 catty, still available when pansy punch came out.
...five petals, but really fat petals.
Blossom Petals builder punch
...introduced in 2011-2012 catty, discontinued 2013
...had a matching stamp set called Build a Blossom that had a stamped petal with two lobes, but the punch had several sizes of pointed petals to build a flower.
Blossom
...introduced in 2012-2013 catty
...had a scalloped edge look to a 6 petal flower
Pansy
...introduced in 2013-2014 catty
...In this catty, the pansy, blossom, and fancy flower were still available.
Gosh, Diane, you are a marvel! Thank you so much for this research! Maybe what happened is I had stamps (or saw and *meant to buy* stamps) and figured they would fit with my somewhat different McGill punch. That is, maybe SU didn't have the punch I have, but rather a different 5-petalled version... and my thinking was that I preferred my punch's shape and could still make it work with the stamps as they'd have 5 "spokes."
It is a puzzler to me, and I know it has been years since I bought whatever I thought was going to work (or again, *meant to buy* and then forgot).
I did try "With All My Heart" with my punch the other day (not a perfect match, but sort of works)... maybe that's what I thought would coordinate?
Thanks again for the help! I'm trying to do some major cleaning/tidying in my craft area these days and maybe I'll find the answer somewhere in the piles of stuff!
Help remembering a coordinating stamp + punch
