SU Scalloped Edge Punch - Anyone Tried This Yet?
 

I saw the new scalloped edge punch in the new catty and it looks interesting. Definitely a big time saver over using the corner rounder or slot punch along the edge of the paper over and over again. But the design of the punch looks similar to the Fiskars border punches which I have two of and haven't been pleased with (don't punch smoothly, don't punch all the way, jam, etc) so I'm skeptical to purchase this SU scalloped edge punch until I hear that it works well. Any reveiws yet? TIA

I had a class on Thursday night and we used this. Not one person complained. Everyone was able to use it easily and loved it.

I just ordered this punch. I just hope it's not going to be on backorder.

I used this last week and thought it was great. I know what you mean about some of the Fiskars punches, but I didn't find that problem with the one from SU.

I love mine!

Mine is easy as pie to use! I love it.

I used one last night at stamp club. It is great! Here is a trick though: When you put your paper in, line up the punch in the middle of the paper edge so it is measured symmetrically (sp?) on each side. Punch, then move to one side and punch till you get to the end then move to the other side and punch till you get to the end. Don't forget to line up your scallops with the silver scallop marks on the punch base and Wa La! It worked very nicely!:)

I love mine. It was easy to use. (I even let my 6 year old make some scallops). She used it too. No problems.

Same with me - I even used it on some my PTI cardstock, which it cut right through. Normally I have to stick a border punch in the freezer for several minutes to cut the PTI paper. SU paper was no problem for me with the scallop punch. I love the fiskars border punches, but have had several break.

Enjoy it!

Susan, Thanks for the question. I was wondering the same thing!!

I've never heard of that before. Does it work to make the Martha Stewart punches go through SU and/or PTI paper more easily?

Yes, I have the Martha Stewart lace edge punch which won't go through the heavier cardstock, like Papertrey's, without chilling in the freezer for about 15 minutes. The cold air causes the metal to contract just enough to cut through. After I take it out of the freezer it punches with no problem.

I used the new scalloped edge punch at a stamp camp last week. I am pretty new to stamping, but I loved it. It is already on my wishlist :D

Well, I have had a couple of Fiskars edge punches literally fall apart when trying to use them. I mean the thing fell apart in my hands. I ordered the SU scalloped punch and hope that it is of better quality than the usual Fiskars products.
I don't generally buy fiskars products any more.

I got the new punch several weeks ago and have used it at least a dozen times if n ot more...I love it.

Used it Friday night and loved it. It punched very easily and smoothly. No ragged edges to try and smooth out. It's on my wishlist!

Thanks so much to all for your responses. I will definitely be ordering this now.

I'm glad to hear this good news. It's on my wish list; and, like several of you, I've had the Fiskars' literally fall apart and end up in the trash can so I'm very leary about buying any more of theirs. Thanks for the comments.

wonderful
 

I am wondering how I ever got along without it.... I made some awesome cards with it!

I'm a SU Demo, so we get to order early. I ordered this punch right away. It is intuitive and very easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone.

I had the same trouble with my fiskars scissors set (about 18 pair) , so I wrote to the company and they offered me a full replacement or other product to replace it. Perhaps you should do the same. They really should be made aware that some of their products are poor quality and they are loosing customers as a result!

Brilliant! I love it when people use science to solve life's little problems. I'm ashamed to say that I'd never have thought of that![IMG]//www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/images/icons/icon11.gif[/IMG]

I wish I had thought of that before I returned mine for not punching properly. Oh, well, more money towards the SU! punch.

I had a class on friday, and we used this punch and we all loved it

I used it at a stamping party that I went to recently and I loved it. It is on my list of things to get:)

Fiskars has excellent customer service, fortunately. Don't just toss product, that's money down the drain, lol! Call their 800 number -- it's on their website. I've never had anything but superb results. Give 'em a chance to make it right. (But do buy the Stampin Up punch, lol!!)

I absolutely love the new SU scallopped edge punch. Last week we used it at a workshop and just about every guest ordered that punch.

Love it and I'm punched challenged with lining things up. This one was easy.

Have it--love it!

Can someone post links to gallery things they made with it? I have it but haven't really used it yet, and I'd love to see some ideas.

Here's my card: Monkey

How wide (or long) a border does this punch make? I was under the impression it would go across a whole card.

I thought the SU punch was made by Fiskars - am I wrong about that? If I'm right, is it available from a non-SU source where I could use a 40% off coupon?

I'm pretty sure it's EK success. I'm not at home right now, so I can't check.

The SU scallop edge punch is made by EK Success (Paper Shapers). HTH!

This is now my favourite punch!

great to hear reviews.... I ordered mine and hope to get it next week :)

And thanks for the tip about freezing punches - never heard of that, but it sounds logical.

I used this punch at a class last week and just loved it. It's on my list to order from the new catty!

Oh man I'll have to try that one!!! Love that idea
