Yes, I found my loopy punch at Ben Franklins this weekend and made a few things on my blog if you want to see. I love it !! And I think I might have to go back for the spider web next
Yes, you can use a coupon on the Martha stuff, originally you couldn't but that changed when the stuff wasn't selling!
As for the punches, I didn't know there were other ones. I have the loopy one. It's really pretty. I have only played once with it, but I have heard some issues with lining it up. And I would also think there would be issues if you needed it to end up a certain size. I'll have to use it to see.

my only issues with lining up is on the spider web and it is just a teeny bit off. I've adjusted my cuts by reducing the size by the tiniest amount with good results.
my issue with the snowflakes is that it doesn't cut through cardstock very well on the edge piece - corner piece no problems, but the edge piece likes thinner paper.
I got the loopy border and corner punch at Michaels. Both with 50% off coupons. I really want to get the spider web ones. They didn't have them in and did not even have a spot for them.:( I saw the leaves border punch but they were out of the corner punch. I am going to check again and also check on ACMoore to see if maybe they got them in.

I could be wrong about this, so don't shoot me if I am. But what I understand is that the "big box" stores like Mike's and ACMoore get one shipment of holiday punches, and then that's it! They don't get any more!! So no need to keep going back - they won't be restocked.
HOWEVER, online stores that carry Martha Stewart punches can order and order, until the manufacturer's stock is depleted. I purchased all of my holiday Martha Stewart Punches from ABC Toys & Crafts - she carries all of the new holiday punches (some of them are out of stock right now, but will be back in stock shortly), and she doesn't mark them up like many of the online retailers and ebay do. Her service is beyond amazing. Free shipping for orders over $70, $7 shipping for orders under $70. Can't beat that, right?!!
By the way, if you place an order with ABC Toys, can you tell them I sent you? Please enter ABC15K into the Promotion Code box when checking out! Have a great day!!
I have the leaves and the spiderwebs. I've used the spiderwebs so far. Lining the up is about the same as for all of those type punches. I really like the effect they produce. I'm contemplating the snowflake one. I think it would be fun if they came out with a drippy goo corner.
My Michaels had them in 2 locations: on a side panael near the regular Martha stuff and in a main aisle Halloween display. They had a fair number of punches. AC Moore had them with the Halloween stuff.

Walmart is selling these in sets. Both the corner and border for $20
I also saw these in Walmart sold in a set. They had the leaves, loops, spider web, and one I hadn't seen anywhere else called 3 dot scallop. It was on the bottom pegs. It looks really cute punched around a page. I haven't been able to find that particular set online anywhere, even on Martha's website. They were on an endcap near the scrapbooking isle.
