What punches do you use the most?

I use my circle/scallop punches the most, for creating journaling spots. I also use my tab punch to create a base for small embellishment clusters.

After that, my star punches. I have 3 or 4 sizes. They are good for when you need a little something more on a page.

For border punches, I hardly use them except for scallop and wave punches.

I use my flower, shape and tag punches most....

Circles are about the only ones I use ow - to cut out circle embellishments faster than finding a die or using my Cameo. I have a few border punches left but I'm planning to sell those.

Really the only ones I use are my circle punches and I have a heart punch that I love.

Circle punches for sure - mostly the 1.25" and 1.5".

the one that creates your own photo corners

spiral border punch that looks like a notebook edge (see it is on clearance on Stampin' Up)

that makes corners that looks like a ticket

the Martha Stewart punch with the 3 butterflies

Border punches hands down. I use a border punch on almost every layout or card I make. I find they make layering more interesting. 

That's really cute oaksong and i can see how that punch would come in handy often. It adds some great texture!

I use various circles - 1/2" all the way to 2". I have them going up in 1/4" increments. These are my most used. So much so that I just replaced a few that were the old button-type punches that were getting tough for me to punch. I replaced them with the Fiskars ones that are the squeeze kind. Love those.

Lots of star and hearts. I have both in traditional shapes and primitive, in several sizes.

I also have a cloud punch I use a lot.

I still use a scallop border punch quite a bit. It really comes in handy on cards.

oaksong, cute card!

Shapes: circles, scalloped circles, hearts, stars, & butterflies.

I just found my border punches!!! so we'll see which ones I use the most.

I have a couple that punch slots into the corners of my card stock mats in order to hold any photos in place that I don't want to use adhesives on. They're great for all my older photos and one of a kind photos.

I have said over and over: They will have to pry my notebook edge punch out of my cold, dead hands.

So obviously I use my notebook edge a lot. I have a scallop border I still use often. I don't use many borders though.

Shapewise I would say I use circles: regular, scallop and pinked; hearts; stars and butterflies. I do also have a banner (triangle) punch which is pretty handy, as it can just be used as a triangle. I could also see buying that Martha Stewart frond punch, but I don't own it myself (yet)...and like oaksong I want a cloud punch...even 2 because they come in different sizes.

I do own a Cameo, but punches are just so darned fast and easy!

Scalloped circles, circles, corner punches, & butterflies. I just bought the EK Success mason jar punch. I love that punch more than I thought I would. I am using that punch a lot right now.

Tell me how you use it! I ove the mason jar shape, but I'm not sure how to incorporate it onto my pages.
