I love punches too...I nearly had a bird the other night when my 3 yr old monkeyed with my 1/4" square punch that goes with my alphabits set (which I love too) and busted it. Luckily I was able to fix it with a knife and some lubricant spray. Phew!!

I just got those exact same punches, too! In spite of the rest of the order being just cardstock and one set, I was super excited, even though I haven't had time to play yet.

I love punches too...they are great! I have a friend who jokingly (well, sorta jokingly but she might be serious!) says that her goal is get all of the punches on pages 220-221 of the new catty~ I think that last year she achieved her goal then they d/c'ed some and added a ton of new ones! Not sure how she is progressing so far, but if I know my friend she'll get it done! Jan

The oval punches are great but wait until you see the new winter mini--the small tag punch is a must!

I am one blessed woman. My hubby (of 50 yrs. last Aug.) saw that my punch collection was getting kind of big. He ordered me a huge tool chest with many drawers of different sizes from Harbor Freight last year just to keep punches in. It works very very well!
Guess I should sign me as

The pocket/envy punches are so cute, but they are tiny--just so you are aware.

I have read about shapening the cutters with foil but has anyone here tried using sandpaper?

If there are any metal spurs on my punch's cutting edges, I have filed them off with an emery board, but I've never actually tried punching through sand paper. I worry that it would actually DULL the blades . . . I should take one of my really BAD button punches and see what happens, but I'm such a chicken . . . :rolleyes:

Mebbe someone who has indeed been brave enough to try it, could entertain us with their experiences . . . ????

Heres a tip found on a Paper Punch Product site...
TIP: If any of your punches ever stick, insert wax paper into them and punch several times. To sharpen the punch, simply punch some very fine sandpaper
