I live about 10 minutes from a second hand craft store and absolutely love it when I find punches and stamps that are older and hard to find! I believe I know what 2nd hand store you are talking about. I haven't been there in awhile and last time there wasn't much, although I did score a ton of some old templates for $1. (I can't remember the name of the company, but they were usually 12x12 squares you could turn in all four directions for different layouts, they were white plastic). I think I need to revisit one of these days. I go once or twice a week. Most times I don't leave with anything, but when you score, you score! Recently a lot of stuff from "Liz" has arrived. Someone must have donated her entire craft room. She was a Stamping Up fan. |

If you still don’t want to part with $100 for the punch, I bet you could get a custom order from one of the Etsy sellers to do a circle border with that punch. I just watched the video you referenced though, and now I want all the punches (and I don’t even have a need for them 😂). I’m thinking you should just get the punch 😜 I am going to try the mountain punch I have first. But I do like the idea. I also have the MS circle that has punches. They are more generic shapes though. |

Could you find a similar metal die? Do you have a die cutter? I have a bunch of dies. I just couldn't get them to cut on a 10 inch circle. Completely fixated on the circle apparently. |

I'd try to find a CM resell fb page to see if anyone has one at a decent price. Currently waiting to be approved. |

quite a few years ago i remember when there was a tab punch that was selling for over $100 on the secondary market. i randomly mentioned the high prices here on 2peas and a kind fellow pea had one she sold to me for $12. i'll never forget that and i still have that punch to this day. I have that tab punch as well. I found it for $4 at the second hand store. It was $95 when I looked it up online 2 years ago. |

I think the paper was Full of Wonder and the punch was Garland Banner. They are both in the current line. |

That banner is cute. I have probably 6 banner punches in different styles and sizes. I do like this one is connected. |

Life is short. Buy the supplies, lol.  I usually do! Today I went to the second hand craft store and found a Studio Calico stamp set (looks like Heidi Swapp) for $2 and 3 full boxes of laminating pockets. There are 50 in a box, 5 mil thick. I make bookmarks for my kids at school at all of time and was thrilled to find them. Best part? They were $1 a box. Two cents each. I am usually happy to find them for 20 cents each. |

I need to stay away from You Tube (and Pinterest). lolz
