Word Window for sure. It may not look like much but it is very versatile. Just a few uses are: tabs, folded tabs, window, punch out a narrow sentiment, slot for a slider card. I'm sure more creative people do more than this. I love mine and thought it was useless when it first came out.
I have to say that Word Window is a good one, and if you don't have the circles, gotta have them for that scallop punch.
(Spoken from a girl who only needs one more punch to officially have them all~) I'm just an addict, what can I say?
I use my ticket corner punch on almost every card. The 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches are great for layering on the scallop circle. Oh, and definitely the scallop border punch too!

I agree 100% -- I was looking for my signature line since this is exactly what I would say, lol ;)
I use my Ticket Corner Punch on almost every card too! Love the Word Window also. I just got in the Square Scallop-looking forward to that one. I like to get punches that have a stamp to match too-easy projects that way!
I agree. I use the word window punch, ticket corner punch, both tag punches and the scallop punch the most. I also have the spiral punch and like to use that when I remember that I have it! I just got the scallop border punch not too long ago and haven't used it much, but I'm sure I'll use it lots too!
I also think all the circles are a must from 1/2 inch on up - squares too but mostly circles -
The 2 ovals are also a must have IMHO.
I do have a flower like the 5 petal flower SU has (mine is Fiskars but the 6 petal one) and I do use that a lot also (and use the various size circles for the center)
Wow, it's hard to narrow it down, but I think the 2 smaller oval ones are what I use the most for small sentiments.
While we're talking about punches, does anyone know what to do to make a crisp punchout? I have a couple of punches that I loaned out and they are no longer punching out nice pieces. I've done the waxed paper and foil, but still have a section that's a little rough on them.
I've just bought the scallop circle & round tab punches and really love them. Which punches should I buy next?
I don't want to buy something I won't use - which punches do you use the most?
Any advice very welcome

I tried to access this thread and it told me I did not have permission to do so - anyone knows why?????
I'm the punch queen. I have all but one and use them all. They are quality punches that add so much dimension to your projects. I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite. Below is a link to a tutorial using the scallop circle punch which you started with. Notice I said started with, because you'll want to collect them as you can. http://stampingcountry.typepad.com/s...ntry/big_shot/
The smaller turkey is the scallop circle punch. He's also featured on my Thanksgiving and Black Friday posts at www.stampingcountry.typepad.com
Enjoy your punches they're sooo much fun.

This is somewhat punch related - I saw somewhere that a lady's husband made her an awesome (huge) punch holder that hangs on the wall. Can someone point me to that direction? I want my husband to make me one for Christmas.

We use a shoe holder that mounts off of the top of the door.
