Word Window Punch...
is this out dated already? Or do you find it a must have? I've been eyeing it for a while and now I have to decide whether to get it or another stamp set.
HELP!!

I still use it all the time. I just posted a card on my blog that uses it in two different ways. Maybe it's old news, but I can't let go, lol

I still use it all the time, too. And it's great for making pop up cards and spinner cards. Definitely a good investment.

I just remembered this Word Window Punch Class I went to a while ago. We did a pop-out card, slider card and spinner card. I think there are probably lots more uses for this punch too.

Cute examples... :grin: I have the mini tags sizzlits die so I thought that was good enough for making the tabs, and tags... But I love the idea of a little hole at the bottom of a card with the words showing through. hm...

I really like mine and use it a great deal. I find many more uses for it than most of my punches.

I just got this one and haven't really played with it yet. But I like the look of a card with the word window in it. I'm thinking it would be cute as a tiny shaker window, too.

Oh, have you seen the s'mores cards or the leprechauns made with punches, including the word window punch? I think it's a must have~

The word window punch is great for making gift cards. I used it for making little pockets to put the gift card into.

I like the little punched out piece wrapped or folded on the card with a brad in it - so even the "waste" can be used. Do I have one of these? Not yet.

Love this punch...in fact, I just had a stamp party this past week and everyone who did not already have them, bought the word window and scallop punches.
I have been on a "spinner card" kick this weekend and have made over 30 of them since Friday night!

I love this little punch. It was the first thing I bought from SU. I use it a lot to make little hanging tags for cards. Here is my latest:

I found a document with 50 uses for the word window punch. I think if you search "wwww" it should show up.

A couple of punch outs are also cute hanging around a Frap bottle with some twine.

I'm not sure if this is the document (pdf format) to which you're referring, but one that I found posted by valentina9 is on this thread:
