Many serious crafters are well underway with their designs, cards and presents. So if you are wanting to add an individual touch this year, this simple piece of equipment might help you.
If you have a heart themed card or git in mind you will find this craft punch in a simple heart design useful.
Martha Stewart Crafts Heart Punch
With it you can create templates and stencils for many craft projects. I think it would be fun to use it to cut out hearts and make a collage of hearts. Lovely on cards for Weddings, Birthdays, Valentines day and Christmas. I would love it with glitter sparkly Christmas paper! You could even pop a few in loose to give it an added taste of fun or luxury.
It would be an amazing way of making your own completely customised wedding confetti too. However please note that it is not really for use on thin tissue paper, you will get disappointing results. Use heavier card stock or thicker paper for the hearts.
The heart shape itself is approximately one inch high. So it can be used to cut out hearts of about that size. Some have said this is too small, others that it is OK, so you need to see what your needs are. You cannot alter the size of the heart.
In practical terms, this craft punch has a spring action lever which makes using it easier.
If you need to sharpen it, which probably depends on how often you use it and on what type of paper, its really easy to do just by punching through aluminium foil.
If it requires lubricating, just punch through waxed paper.
I would advise keeping some of both the waxed and aluminium paper in so its there as you need it. However, there is no expensive sharpening or lubrication tools or anything required.
