 Disappointed in the quality Apr 10, 2012
By jb0017
I love making handmade cards and thought this would be a great addition to my set of tools, however, I was disappointed. The blades are very dull, making it difficult to cut through anything --- thick card stock, basic construction paper, or thin paper. After pressing down all the way, it would sound as if the paper was cut, however, when you pull the device away, you would see that it hadn't cut all the way through, but simply smashed the paper in some areas.

Not Pleased With This Punch Jan 09, 2012
By StuntBunny
I bought this set over the weekend from a big box craft store. I am needing to make name tags for a work event coming up and loved the flourish corners and sides. The punch comes with detailed instructions for getting the two punches to work together (corners first, then sides). It also shows you and lists out what the paper sizes HAVE to be for it to evidently work properly.
I tried using it with the first set of dimensions they showed, and it sort of worked. However, the paper slides out and doesn't line up properly with the side paper punch and ultimately, I had issues every time I tried to use it with the inner holes lining up to one another, properly. Where the corners and sides were to match up, the holes would inevitably end up off-set from each other and it looked like I had been drunk punching.
I don't know about you, but I don't have the time nor patience to try to get this set to work how its supposed to, especially when I have 90+ name tags to knock out. Also, I understand in hindsight, but still don't like, that you can only use certain sizes of paper to get the two punches to work properly and line up with each other. Because even if your paper is the proper size, it still isn't lining up properly from my experience (I followed the instructions, I lined up the already punched sections with the template on the side punch. Maybe that is off and the problem???). Anyway, the smallest size you can punch ends up being rather square (too odd shaped for a name tag) and the next size up is too big (especially for a name tag).
I'm taking mine back to the store where I bought it. I'd rather do a custom template in cut-out heavy card board and use that for my uniform "punch pattern". Best of luck to anyone who does buy this though you still might want to save your receipt!

Even if you're like me and sick of seeing Martha everywhere you are going to love this punch! The extra corner punch makes it easy to get a uniform border on your project.

I too had a problem with paper tearing. Then I read the directions! You need to punch out your corners first. Also paper sizing. Good luck.

I found these punches to be disappointing. The punch would not cut cleanly & proved difficult to push down. The paper often frayed and was difficult to keep straight. All my other punches from Martha S were fantastic, so this product was very disappointing.
