It’s such an easy punch hack but let me just say, when you have this handy dandy tool in your arsenal, it is going to help you find amazing new uses for your punches you might not have ever thought of before!
Cut Basic Black cardstock to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and punch out no more than two punches on a card. Slide into a clear envelope OR you can store them in a standard stamp case. Simply lay the punched cardstock over different images in your catalog and BOOM just like that, you have new ideas for your punches!

I love this idea and I used it quite often. I get so excited every time I learn a new way to use my punches. How about you?
Well, I have ONE more punch video for you this month. I hope you have enjoyed the Craft Punch Master Class. I think you will get a kick out of the last one. It’s quite tasty!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great idea. I’ve seen this done as template for stamping on your punched pieces in a stamp positioner.
Great tips ! Thank you !
Great idea. Thanks for share. 🙂
I’ve used this technique but I only punched one per sheet and added the name of the punch or for the circles I wrote the size.
Saves time when you’re wondering is that a 2″ circle or 2-1.4″. Thanks for helping us stay creative 🙂
Really a great idea !
WOW!! What a WONDERFUL idea. I’m definitely going to make these templates from my punch stash so they’ll get more use.
Connie I love this idea, it is brilliant. Thank you.
Connie enjoyed your video on punches. I have done this only on white cardstock think I will be changing to black. I also have a lot of embossing folders and have done the same thing with them. Saves going through all the folders, pick one from the ring and go from there.
I’m definitely going to make these templates, label the punches and laminate each page. They should stay in great shape!
I have now been a demo for 5 years and I have all the punches that Stampin Up has had in the catalogs over the last 5 years, I have retired punches I purchased on eBay, punches from other companies that I use that Stampin up does not offer as well a punches that I purchased before becoming a demo. It’s probably close to 75 .
I need to make these punch templates. Thanks for the idea, Connie.
PS: I will use my label maker to label the name of the punches on the templates and the sizes of the circles etc.
That is one of the best ideas I’ve ever seen! Thank you for sharing it with us. can’t wait to use it the next time I make cards.
Connie you are such a book of knowledge, thankyou for all that you share
What a great idea!! The other thing I want to add is, How did I go so long without a Shammy!!! What a game changer!!
Thanks again!
Brilliant!!!
Thank you so much for this mind-blowing tip! Just minutes after watching your video I used your tip to determine the right size of die and punch to use for the best fit for the chosen stamps! I love your posts and tips! You are simply amazing! Thanks again for all you do and share with the rest of us!! With grateful appreciation!
Genius idea! This way I can match my punch templates to word stamps to see if word fits the punch.
Great idea for my shape dies too. Thank you for sharing.
