From the Shop Friday : Valentine’s Day Craft Punches

// // 3 replies

This week, I added a bunch of new Valentine’s Day paper craft punches from the Martha Stewart Crafts line, and there are many pretty and versatile designs in this group. My favorite has to be the heart keys punch – so sweet.

I’m also intrigued by the punch all over the page designs. Has anyone tried one of these types of punches, from the Martha Stewart line or another brand? They look pretty neat, but I wonder if they’re as easy to use as they look?

Paper Source has an excellent selection of holiday gift wrap this year (every year!), and I’ve added several of the designs that they’re carrying to the shop this week. Included are perennial favorites by Snow & Graham, several Paper Source designs, and a really cool argyle paper that would be fantastic to use if you’re going a bit outside the box with your color scheme this year.

And speaking of gift wrap color schemes, have you entered the holiday gift wrap giveaway from Paper Mojo? There are plenty of awesome ideas for gift wrap color palettes to be found in the entries, and I’d love it if you added yours, too! I’ll be taking entries until this coming Monday, November 22, at midnight eastern, so you still have plenty of time to enter to win either a $50 gift certificate or a $50 bundle of holiday gift wrap from Paper Mojo.

Martha Stewart Crafts put out some great Halloween paper punches this year, and the new Christmas paper punches in her line are pretty great, too. Two of my favorite holiday themes are snowflakes and snowmen, so my favorites are all of the ornate, detailed snowflakes punches that have been added this year. Here’s just a taste of what’s available:
