A local TJ Maxx store had a clearance bin full of scrapbooking items. I bought 14 EK Success punches for under $13. Some were in their packaging and others were not.
I got several that I couldn't find on the site here to show you, especially the two punches I have questions about. There are enough scrapbook Diva's on this site that I am sure one of you will know what these are.
I know what you are going to say, why did I buy them if I didn't know what they were. Well, you try to walk away from an EK Success punch for 50 cents!
The first punch is a pink lever punch that has a heart outline. One half of the heart is solid silver and the other was just the silver outline. On the bottom of the punch shows the heart again inside of a silver outlined circle centered on cross hairs.
When I punch it out, only one side of the heart is cut but it is still attached to the paper on the side. I tried folding the paper over and sticking it in and it makes the whole heart with a tiny heart that gets punched out.
Is this a 3D punch? I notice if I fold the heart out from the fold in the card it sticks up a bit.
The closest I can find online for this calls it a Paper Shapers Fold Over Heart Punch.
If any of you have this one, can you tell me how to use it?
The next one is a hand punch (just squeeze it in your hand) It has the lock on it to hold it closed. I couldn't find it online.
The design on top is a pink circle, a little under 1/2" inside of the circle is a kind of a crescent moon. When I punch it out, the design is an odd crescent. The inside of the crescent is round, but the outside is flat on the "bottom" of the crescent then angles up to make the points. The punched out piece is not usable at all.
I could use this one as a corner rounder, but I have no idea what it is. It's price was $0.25, so I thought is was worth the chance.
Any help or thoughts on these stamps?
