Did you check Michael's? I saw them at my Michael's just yesterday but they wanted $3 more than what they want for the same size other punches, so I passed.

After reading a posting here, I went to emmaspaperie.com and found it there. You might have luck there also :)

I'm not 100% sure which one you're looking for but I just went into eBay and typed "Martha Stewart punch" and 380 items came up...when I narrowed it down to "Martha Stewart heart punch", 54 items came up...hope that helps!

I ordered one last week because someone said Impress rubber Stamps had them but they seem to be out now.

I ordered the MS heart border punch from Impress. Yes, I just got an email that they are waiting for an order that should come in this week. They will fill already placed orders first. The one I ordered is the larger heart border punch. I found the mini-heart scallop punch at a Michael's last Thursday. I had the clerk open the box and try it out before I left the store because every once in awhile MS punches don't work properly for me. (The one I got works the best of any MS punch I own.) In fact, just opening the box on a punch once the whole thing just fell apart. Luckily for me, the persons I will make cards for are local so the late arrival of the punch won't affect their receipt of my V-day card.

Good Luck!

My Michaels still had several of these when I was in a few days ago. I love this punch. I used it for all my Valentines cards....very cute.
Blessings.

Was this at Michael's? What other new ones did they have?? Thanks, Angel:)

I was in 4 stores while we were in CA last month and nothing. Did find one in the Mike's in Westfield IN but that was the only one. Some are ordering from some siste online.

sprtchick 02-06-2009 11:26 AM

I dont think the chick border one is out yet..probably in a month or so. The cost on the border punches is only about $7.00. They sure make a killing (when you dont use a coupon) on these at Michaels.
Blessings.

Walmart has them! $8.97

MiztrezzLyn 02-06-2009 12:49 PM

I bought one of these at Michael's a few weeks back and had to return it. It wouldn't punch through my cardstock. I use G/P 110#, has anyone else had this problem with the punches or was it a bum one?

I absolutely *loved* that MS punch with the valentine lace scallop border and really want to pick up a couple more but if it won't cut through the cardstock I use the most (the G/P 110# stuff) then its not worth it to me.

Are they all like that or is there something I can do to make it work with my cardstock?

NANCYRUTH 02-06-2009 12:52 PM

sharpen it but cutting some tin foil and see if that helps!

MiztrezzLyn 02-06-2009 01:01 PM

Bah I returned it!

Oh well, I will pick up another one and see if the tin foil idea works, thanks! :)

65 lb. paper for MS punches
 
It seems like this was printed on the back of the packaging on one of my MS punches.

My SU punches do better with a bit heavier paper, but I'd think almost any detailed punch would be difficult (read impossible) to use with your paper.
...Cheers!!!

Even Martha Stewart had trouble with her heart punch yesterday on her show - I wish I could have recorded it because I would have put it on YouTube and linked it here. :lol:

sprtchick 02-06-2009 09:58 PM

I used the heart lacy border punch for all my Valentines cards. I punched the long side of the card. They had a Very Vanilla base which is pretty heavy card stock and I had no problems. Love the heart punches...Blessings.

ready2retire 02-07-2009 02:19 PM

I have to push down TWICE to get it through my SU card stock. The first time I push, it goes part way through, then I lay on it a second time and it goes the rest of the way. It sure makes a beautiful edging!

smileyj 02-07-2009 02:34 PM

I returned my heart edge punch today to Michaels. It punched afew times and then would not go through even light paper. I tried punching foil. That didn't help. So I returned it.

MsBlkCat 02-07-2009 05:57 PM

I have not been happy with MS Punches. I bought three for Halloween and returned them all. Two because they stopped working with my SU Paper. The third was the skull and cross bones and that punch was defective in the package. I was totally disappointed.

tnt72 02-08-2009 05:42 AM

I wish I could find them where I live. No one has them. I would pay $9.00 for them at Walmart but I have been everywhere to get them. No luck.

pricecheck 02-08-2009 11:21 AM

I just bought one at Michaels. I wish the hearts were a little larger but I will give it a try. I ordered one from Impress last week and if I get it I will be putting it up for sale here.

MiztrezzLyn 02-08-2009 12:32 PM

Well I went back to Michaels to get the MS Heart border punch again and...they didn't have it anymore! :confused:

I'm going to keep kicking myself for not keeping it. I had it in my little hands and returned it like an idiot before asking here for advice on getting it to punch properly.

Thanks for the advice, maybe I can find it somewhere else. Though it looks like its hard to find?
