Speaking of punchies, do any of you have the bicycle punch? I am in need of one and would like to own the punch myself since I am doing so many bike pages. I could either buy it outright, trade you paper, or stickers, or a bow border punch, or rubber stamps, etc....Let me know, Penny Ps. I love the link and might use it for some punches myself. Penny I would also like to trade my bow punch for another border punch (I have two bow punches, one of them came in a multi pack of punches) I already have the heart, stars, houses, and would really like a different one for the extra bow.

Cyndy i will swap with you what are you looking for or do you have i have the following; mini; foot bow small bow circle lizard, frog dragonfly square sun daisy butterfly balloon spiral easter egg heart crab star large circle square flower i have 8 more ordered but they arent here yet

I've turned circle punchies into sports balls: basketball, soccer, baseball... Also, using hearts, made a carrot bunch with green leaves. (cut large heart-orange- in half for carrot--do several, then bunch small hearts together on top for leaves-green-) I have the punchin' book which gives you all sorts of ideas on what to make with punchies, step by step...Anybody need fresh ideas, let me know.

Here are the methods that I have read for this problem, I am not sure how well they all work but here they are: 1).First punch your punch through alum. foil several times. (foil like you bake with) 2 ) Then punch through wax paper several times. If those first two don't help then buy some VERY FINE sandpaper and punch through it going both directions several times, and then try steps one and two again. HTH. Love Penny
