I just got an alert from Camel Camel Camel that the WRMK 1-2-3 Punch Board has been reduced to 13,75€ (about the same price in US dollars) on Amazon France which seems like a super deal, especially in a country like mine where there aren't coupons and big stores carrying scrap supplies. I've watched videos on how to use this board before. But the Peas know best...
Does anyone have one? How much do you like yours? How has it kept up quality-wise over the years (plastic cracks, breakage)?
Thanks in advance!

I'm reluctant to respond because the last time I lauded my 1-2-3 punch board gramma bought one and couldn't figure it out I like mine a lot for making envelopes and boxes. No problems and mine is probably 7 years old now? I haven't used it *heavily*... but it doesn't seem likely something that would break at all... it feels like my scor board in material.

Great to know all is working well 7 years on, kitbop! Sounds like the actual punch part itself is also holding up perfectly which is the most important bit for this tool. Poor gramma though! I hope she has figured out how to make it work since... I've got a few videos lined up on YouTube with in-depth demonstrations for each of the three projects included. I think the box function would be perfect to DIY an Advent calendar!

I think they are discontinued, but before it was one tool, they had some that were "purpose built" and I have one that is for envelopes and another for gift bags. Both have held up well over time. While I haven't used them a ton, there were no issues with the quality.

I finally gave up. I found cut files that I use on my Silhouette. I even had in person instruction from nylene. !

I can make envelopes but mostly I make boxes to store cards that I give as gifts. When gramma and I got together we each had a different board and it didn't turn out well. Lots of giggling though.

I have the Dress my Craft punch board and I love it. I don't know how similar it is to the 1-2-3 board, but I use it to score cards/cardstock, and make envelopes and boxes.

I love it! I make a lot of envelopes of varying sizes so it comes in very handy.
