I know this goes along the vein of the recent threads about no. of ribbon, stamps, etc. However I am curious, how many paper punches do YOU have? I have a tiny stash-
1 Fiskars 4 corner punch
3 miniature punches in heart, butterfly, and spiral
1 flower punch
and 1 circle punch.
Can't wait to hear some responses!

I have all but 5 of the current SU punches. And I plan on getting 2 of those eventually. I use punches on almost every project though. I'd be lost without them.

Ooooo, I had never counted before ~ I have about 50 (mostly SU, McGill and Marvy punches) or so give or take, yikes! I'm addicted to punches I guess! :oops: I do use my punches all the time though, so I don't feel too guilty! And my wish list continues w/more punches I'm hoping for! ;)
I think that's it. It's a modest collection, but functional. I do want to get a word window and picture corner punch from SU. And, that is probably all I really would use at this point in my stamping world.

I don't want to count (or is that I don't really want to know!), but I have 10 drawers (Iris carts) full and have started on the 11th drawer... I have a lot! I love them and use them a lot!
I have about 55, along with a complete set of rectangle nestabilities (scallop and regular, large and small) and a complete set of nestabilities ovals (scallop and regular, large and small). Oh yeah and a complete set of coluzzles..lol, (circles and companions, ovals and companions, rectangles, squares, and 90 degree squares).

I only have about a dozen. I've just been very resistant to buying punches, especially with the nestabilities now. However, I do want about 6 in the SU catty. :mrgreen:
Last count was 135 but I'm pretty sure I've added a couple since then. Before I got into stamping, I was really into punch art. I'm afraid I don't use most of them anymore - except the basic squares, circles and corners - but I'm not ready to part with them yet.
I started out with scrapbooking and have been scrapping since 1997. In the late 90s punches and punch art were all the rage (kind of like die cuts are now). I have over 100 of them but can't say I really use many of them any more other than the basic shapes...I really should get rid of them but sometimes I find myself digging through the drawer looking for one of them.
I use to do alot of punch flowers i currently have 100+ punches which are flower type and then I have all the Marvey punches and 99% of SU punches. I have those hangers that going on the back of doors that you can connect with pockets i have 4 of them full
Well I am another one who started out as a scrapbooker. Does anyone here remember Family Treasures? Well I own every punch they sold.
Remember Punch Bunch....yep I got all of them .....all of them.
Fiskars Border punches? PaperShapers? Emaginations? McGill? Corner Punches? Ribbon Weave Punches?
Yep Yep Yep
I got 'em all. I loved punch art when it was popular.
Really Sad
I have not used them in years.
Oh and I have all the StampinUp ones too.
I have almost ALL the current SU punches. Before I went all SU, I bought a TON of the EK Sucess paper shapers. Gosh, there are too many to count.
I did buy one of the Marvy Scallop punches before SU released theirs.
The very first punch I bought, I bought the same time I bought my first stamps and ink. It was back in the late 80s. I still have it! It is a Teddy bear that kind of looks like the Mrs Grossman's classic bear back from around the same time.

I have about 40---25 or so of the largish one---Marvy and SU and then the CM ones and then a whole bunch of the small clamp type---and then my "Bug of course! MyDH made me this punch holder It is wonderful---but don't know where i will put any new ones, LOL
A very interesting exercise realising how many of something you have. I've got 45 or so punches. Most of them are Carl punches. A lady called Elizabeth Woolnough lives locally and owns a gorgeous craft shop and she has written several books on punch art. I would highly recommend them.
I do like my EK success ones as well. I would love a Marvy giga scallop one but am having trouble finding them locally.
I love punches too! I started out in my card-making journey using punches. I have over 120 Carl punches and probaby 8 SU punches. I use them heaps and want more ( of course);)
I probably have about 50- although I only use maybe 20 on a regular basis. Some are from my early scrapbooking days and I have no idea what I was thinking!
