I bought the Swiss Chees bubble ones but haven't tried if works thru SU cs yet. I like quite a few of them & it's hard to resist. I like how they are less bulky then the SU ones. I also bought the scalloped photo corner frame one. They are tinier than the SU photo corner ones & they have several different styles. I want them all!!!!
All the punches at Michaels, except the Martha Stewart punches, are going on sale tomorrow for 30% off. If you want them for 40% off with a coupon, better go tonight!

Here's a card I made with the Swiss Cheese one. I love this punch.... cute, fun look and easy to use! Gotta watch it though.... those little dots get everywhere! Heaven forbid I punch over a garbage, right?

Thanks for the picture - I never would have guessed that was parisian. I will have to take a closer look at it the next time I'm at Michaels. I must admit that I was dazzled by having so many new punches to choose from, I kept changing my mind on which ones I was going to allow myself to buy.
Oh man!! These are so cute!! I "heard" you guys all talking about these and had to go check them out for myself...I wasn't disappointed. I got the swiss cheese but saw a couple others I will definately be getting in the future: birthday candles and trees. In my Michaels the swiss cheese seemed pretty popular which is why I went with that one first. What fun!!
I picked up the trees and I love it. One thing to keep in mind is it is not a bottom edger punch it cuts the tops of the trees so would have to use a strip of paper or cs, cut the trees then place on top of another piece of cs.
Several of the new punches are like this. Still some of the cutest punches I've seen in a while. I have happy camper and JUST got under the stars and I can see this working with both sets
I bought the Swish Cheese punch after work yesterday and played with it a little bit this morning. I have a card in the works that I hope I can finish later today.
I saw the trees punch too and it caught my interest (and the scallop edge, and fleur de lis, etc... lol). I can't wait to see what examples show up here using these punches. Not that I need more punches...well, maybe I do...

So far, I've been bad and bought ten of the border punches and two of the smaller punches! But, I bought all of them with 40% off coupons!!! So, that makes it OK, right??? The ones that are selling the fastest in my Michael's are the swiss cheese and the tree line one.

Would it make me a little crazy if I just sent my Mom into a M's somewhere in Virginia to pick up the swiss cheese punch as they're driving back down here to GA in the snow all because my M's is sold out of them???
I mean, it was on the way... And she found it!!! I love her
(I think it was the Harrisonburg, VA store off 81)
Help! I have the Fiskars Border & Corner "Read Between the Vines" punch. I've had it quite awhile and now cannot remember how to use it without punching from the wrong side of the CS. I'd like the flower border (with blossoms at top) running along the right side of my card; then the corner design at the upper right corner and the flower border along the top. I'm feeling pretty dumb at the moment . . . .
No trip to Michael's today. Washington is snowed in. We didn't get as much in Shenadoah Valley. Having a stampin up demo today if my demostrator can get out of her area.
I got the Swiss Cheese punch on Saturday. I thought it would look really cute, like bubbles, using Fishy Friends.
My Mom got the spiral binding punch. I have the SU! one already. She says the 2 are completely different--she tried her new EK one, and it doesnt' fit over the notebooks right. So one of 2 things:
a. it is just meant to be decorative
b. it is only gonna fit certain spiral, like the SU! punch, only a different type of spiral...
Anyone done any experimenting on what the EK spiral edge punch will fit on?

I can't believe I haven't seen these punches! Does anyone know if they are available for purchase on-line? Thanks.
I believe there was discussion earlier that these EK Success punches are exclusive to Michaels. I don't know if this is actually true, but if it is then they won't be available on line (except perhaps on ebay as a secondary sale). Sorry I don't have "for sure" information for you! :(

Same here! I went back a week after I bought mine. All of the rest of the edge punches were pretty well stocked, but there was only one Swiss Cheese one!
I got the Swiss Cheese one today, and noticed they sell a plastic box to hold all of their punches. It was on the shelf underneath the punches. They thought ahead - I like that!
I got it today also. I noticed the boxes. They are great. I have drawers of edge punches and they take up a lot of room. I got the tree one which looks weird on the punch but really does a nice job. They put the wrong image ( the remainders ) on the punch as an example.
By the way, if you are ever through Manasses, Virginia , their Michaels is awesome! I never saw a scrapbooking section as well organized and as really pretty. The assistant manager does an excellent job there.

OK--you guys FORCED me to drive 5 hours to Michael's ( not really--I had a meeting in that town anyway) and buy punches....I indulged myself----with Swiss Cheese, Bats, Zig Zag/embossing, scalloped photo corners, small scallop circle and the small plain photo corners(they called them Victorian) and the best part---I think........they were on sale for 30% off ----but I had some ribbon that I thought was regular price and a 20% off all regular price stuff coupon---and the ribbon was on sale AND THE CLERK TOOK THE COUPON AND GAVE ME 20% off my purchase anyway!!!!!!!!! all of it...... I was blown away.....
And the next best part---I will be going back to that town next weekend to send a son back to college on a plane and will be able to go to Michael's again....so maybe some more of those punches will need to come home with me????????

I bought the spiral edge punch and found that it tore rather than cut the CS except for very heavy CS. I took it back and tried another one in the store, and it did the same thing, so I just returned it. I thought that would be cheaper than the SU one, but I'm going to go with the SU one because I know it punches rather than tears--might like to use it on paper and not just CS. Do the other punches cut thinner paper ok? Thanks!
You be Welcome! You might do as I did and Copy & Pasted the info into Word so that you can print it off and have a copy to view as needed. I've done this with all of their special punches.
I read somewhere that the punches are exclusive to Michaels only through March; beginning in April, they will be available elsewhere.

The wonderful difference with the EK Success punches is that we were able to use coupons to buy them the minute they hit the shelves - MS we had to pay full price for the longest time. Another difference is that they cut through the heavier cardstock that I use! Two very nice reasons to get the punches. :cool:
I just went to my local Michaels and they were out of two of the borders that I wanted (scalloped and the bubbles one) I did get the scalloped photo corner one. It was the last one and so cute I didn't want to risk them going out before I could get back there. So not a total loss I also live 5 minutes away so I am sure I will be back.
ETA: I am also in Virginia but in the Newport News/Hampton Roads area. Funny to see so many other Virginian's here *waves*
Different punch question
