Has anyone seen these out yet? I know I saw two on ebay for an evil price. I haven't been to Michael's since well before the holidays, anyone seen them on the shelves yet?
Hi ! I was just in Michaels today here in Southern MS and I didn't see any Valentine stuff except for those fun foam stickers etc. They still had the MS Christmas stuff out and I don't think any of it was on sale...:(
God bless

Here in northern NJ, my HUBBY, "The Designated Craft Shopper" reports that Michaels still had MS Christmas stuff also. LOL! But he is armed with his little Valentine list at all times, so he is ready to go when they start putting out her Valentine's Day stuff! He's got the car so HE has the LIST, too! LOL!:mrgreen:

Wow! Here in Jersey the MS holiday items were sold out well before Christmas! Plus Michaels had it on sale at 35% off just about every week which bother me a little because there were 50% off coupons run in the local paper or on line almost every other week, which you couldn't use on discounted items.
I haven't been to the local Michaels for a few weeks so I don't know about the Valentine items. The MScraft website only shows a tiny heart punch and ribbon.

I was in Michaels today and I saw no Valentines stuff yet - but the clerk said after the first of the year. What they did have going on was year end clearance items up to 75% off

Our Michaels put the MS Christmas stuff on clearance sale a while back and sold out pretty quickly. Last time I was in there I didn't see any Valentine's Day stuff but I will check on it tomorrow!
WalMart has Martha Stewart, now. The products are a "little" cheaper, but still costly. However....at one of my local stores, the Christmas punches for 75% off. There were some beautiful alphabet stamps (acrylic) with flourishes.
I took advantage and bought some for myself and my Kindergarten granddaughter. She is an incridible little stamper!
I got a new MS border punch two days ago for 50% off and it is one I have never seen before. It has large scalloped edges. How to explain this...on a piece of 4.25 x 5.50 on the long size it will only make 3 "scalloped" scallops...not like the other scalloped punches for the edges. The scallop is much larger than the Fiskars Threading Water punch. It is soooo beautiful on cards..and punched like butter on SU cardstock. I was very surprised.
I will try to put a picture in my gallery later. Blessings.
I searched on MS Valentine punches and checked of the photos of the items on the bay...they look like some neat punches....I'm going to check out my local Michaels and see if they have them yet. I like the heart with the lace edge border and some of the border punches....

I'm looking for 3 of the Valentine punches...mini heart border, scallop heart punch and the Valentine Lace border. I went to my Mike's and called the other closest one but they don't even have a place set for them. I'd be willing to trade current SU! for them (reasonable prices).
I just purchased two of the valentine punches from the Michaels in the Memphis area (wolfchase) and the valentine lace punch is difficult to punch with. I actually returned the first one because it would not punch all the way through. They exchanged it for another one, and it has the same issues. So I have tried the aluminum foil method in order to "sharpen" the edges and it worked okay on one cardstock, but on a different piece I have had trouble again. I don't know what to think?
It seems to work better with thinner cardstock

I bought a really cool punch/emboss heart. It ends up looking like a quilted/puffy heart -at first I thought it was a lattice heart punch out, but it turns out I was wrong...but I love it anyway!
I would love to see the new Valentine Border punches. I did get one new border punch at Impress Rubber Stamps a while back (New Year's Eve day)...it's fabulous! It's this one:
I went to two Michaels within the last couple days and neither one had any MS Valentines stuff yet. They expect it in a week...I would really love to get some of these cute punches.
Blessings.
I picked them up today in CT. I will say this bunch oof punches is not punching as well. I used foil and wax paper on then and they are a little better. The scalloped heart sticks to the inside of the punch. I did make a quick card. I will try to post it tommorow.
I was at my Michaels in Minnetonka {mn}, and they were right by the MS stuff at the end. Not many items. Of course used my 50%off coupon from Joann's. Got the scalloped heat punch. Yummy.

Very cute. I'm going to have to go back and get the little heart border punch. I bought the big heart scalloped punch and now wish I'd gotten the small one instead.
I just got the scalloped heart border punch on Monday. It was NOT with the other MS stuff however. It was on an end-cap a couple of rows over with other Valentine stuff. At first I thought M's didn't have it, then I just happened to find it in that "odd spot." So, keep looking! Maybe you will find it!

I have gone to 4 Michaels at least twice in the last 2 weeks and they still don't have them. I saw them on Ebay too and the price was ridiculous. Wal-Mart didn't have them either. Who else sell them. I'm in S. Cal.
They were out in our store last week and I scored the border punches an hour after they were put out . I got sick though and haven't had a chance to use them yet :(.
I got the last mini Valentine border punch and the last scalloped heart today. The mini border is too cute! I have not tried to punch thick cardstock with the scalloped heart yet. Can't wait to play.
I looked at Michaels today and no luck. I was hoping they had something because I had a Joanns 50% off coupon burning a hole in my pocket. I think I am going to call my mom in Calif. and see if hers has any of the punches.
I just got back from another Michaels marathon search. Went to 3 stores waaaaaay out of my area and no luck. Two stores had the heart punches but not the border or eyelet lace heart. :(

What part of California?? I live in S. Calif and have not found 1.
THey are out! SOmeone made me a svg file of this exact punch as a 12" border AND a square photo mat.. if you have the SCAL and want the file to cut on your cricut email me and its yours It's identical and so much easier to let the cricut cut it!
*this is the scalloped border with mini hearts Martha Stewart one*
Martha Stewart Valentine punches?
