With the wrought iron punch, if you want all four corners punched, you have to do it as a separate piece that you then attach to your card. The inside layer that tucks under the corners has to be 1/2" shorter both ways to fit (so if your outside piece measures 5-1/2 x 4-1/4, your inside piece should be 5 x 3-3/4).
For the other corner punches (the slots and the pockets) you need to make the inside piece only 1/4 inch shorter both ways.
EK Success has come out with some different corner punches called "Card Creators." The corner guides on these are a little different and you can actually punch all 4 corners of the front of a folded card with them. It involves punching some from the back and some from the front and using this line for part and that line for the other part, though, so I still do it as a separate piece that I stick to the card at the end.
Sorry, long answer to a short question. Short answer, yes. If you want all four corners punched, you need to do it as a separate piece and then snail it to the card.
