Breast Canser Punch!! Look at this!

[clransom]

Look what I found at Garden Ridge today. Of course, this can be used with yellow cardstock too for our Troops. The picture is of the punched result but you can also take an exacto knife and cut it out and it will make a cool ribbon without the circle. Had to have this when I saw it given all the buzz about the Hope Is...set that SU! is offering!

[granijani]

I like this. I've never heard of Garden Ridge. What company makes the punch? Maybe I could order it online. Hmmm...
Thanks for the info and picture!

[clransom]

The punch is made by Armada Art Materials out of Boston MA. The Item # is 30061C. It's called the Ribbon Awareness Punch. A portion of the sales are dontated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Here it is on someone'e ebay site http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

I paid $4.99 for it at Garden Ridge! I can't believe it's going for $20 online. Wow! I could make some serious profit!

[granijani]

Thanks for the info!

[janicemarz]

thanks for the info. That punch is adorable..im going to have to go get one tomorrow!!!!!

[Mackinley]

Oooh, oooh, I have to tell you. I was at my local stamp store today and found that Quick Cutz has a little ribbon diecut similart to this. I got it and am going to do fun things with it for Oct. Just thought I'd let you know!

That punch is so cool! I wanna get one.
I'm sort of a punch collector.
(Well, I accumulate almost anything.)

That punch is so neat. My girlfriend is just going through the whole process of removing hers next weekend. It runs in her family though :( So was going to try to do something for her next weekend. The bad part about that auction is $20 I think was the starting bid and that person wants BOTH of them on the auction :shock:

[clransom]

Suppose you could call Garden Ridge and request and maybe buy it over the phone? I got it at the Plano, TX location. Here's the Garden Ridge Website. All the other info you need is in a previous post about the item # and such... It's in the crafts/hobbies/scrapbook section.

dang and our garden ridge just closed down!!

[emilymomto3boys]

How much were they at Garden Ridge? The ebay price looks pretty steep!

[clransom]

Only $4.99!!

[emilymomto3boys]

I knew the $20 ebay price had to be a ripoff!

[kerry612]

I went to the website and it says that they don't sell anything other than in the store. No web orders. What a bummer we don't have one here in Michigan. Maybe a stamping fairy will help me find one. Kerry

[sscrappystamper]

If there are any stamping fairies that will purchase them and mail them out, I would like to be included in this...I know it is a lot to ask, but...you never know if you don't ask...

so, if anyone finds a stamping fairy willing to do this...please refer her to me, too!

It is a wonderful punch.

Thanks for the heads up. I am off to Garden Ridge

[mommakate]

Sure its Armada ??? I went to their website and did not find the item under the # or the description of "ribbon Punch".

I wonder if this is being made especially for Garden Ridge....hmm.....

Yep, that's the vendor.

I just noticed that I spelled Cancer wrong! How funny! Well, that horrible little decease doesn't deserve to be spelled correctly anyway!

I wish I could be a stampin' fairy for everyone but won't be able to get over to Garden Ridge until tomorrow night & I'll bet they're gone by then.. I'll try and I'll post if I find anything.

[tiny bubbles]

If any stamping fairy out there would get me one too, I'd really appreciate it!

I found a site that has Breast Cancer awareness stuff. They have a punch here, but it is $12. What I thought was neat is, they have brass templates for $3 and cute little pink ribbon confetti.

ddphelps,
Can you share the link to that site with us, please?

Vanessa, I will by one from you!!!!
Thanks,

[granijani]

Dawn - Thank you so much for these sites. They are new to me.

[sscrappystamper]

Vanessa: You are truly a stampin' angel! Count me in, too! Thanks a lot. Now that I have seen the punch, I cannot live without it!

[barbcowan]

Heads up ladies ... I just bought the McGill punch (1/2 inch by 1 inch ribbon) from Archivers this morning. Also, I bought the brass templates featured on the web site linked a few messages up from a local craft store this past spring.

[clransom]

I bugged out of work early to do this for you ladies... I found 15 of the Ribbon Punches at Garden Ridge. I am going to post a classified ad for them.

[gmlittle]

You can go to the web site www.gardenridge.com and see if there is a store in your area.

[Michelle Laycock]

Hey That's cool! Thanks for sharing.

[msamethyst1]

Found the punch ONLINE for a lot less than the eBay price. Hope the link below doesn't "break" (still trying to figure out how some of this message board stuff works). If it does break it's under Scrapbooking & Papercrafting-->Punches-->Armada Art Punches.
